Instagram Fun

My new favorite IPhone app-now I just need to remember to take more pictures with it. They would be a great addition to our 2011 scrapbook and they look fantastic. Anyone out there use it and have any tips for me about getting them developed?

Wordless Wednesday

Week Two

Yes, I do indeed realize I am currently way behind in my Project Life posts--hopefully next Tuesday there will be two weeks worth of posts-at least. After all, this is Week Nine we are currently living. I'll eventually catch up.

Wordless Wednesday

On a really warm February day in Northern CA...they were BEGGING!!
(I guess that makes this a "Word Wednesday." Oops.)

Five Years That Flew By...

Three days after we arrived home from Ethiopia with him:



Just after he turned one year old with sweet Peja:



On his second birthday eating fruit snacks at the office:



Turning three with his waffle breakfast:



Turning four Incredible Hulk style:



Five years old at the park:



I don't know how it happened so fast, but he will be starting Kindergarten this year and he is so excited...

At five he loves:
-reading Magic Tree House books or "Jack and Annie books" as he calls them. We are currently on #6
-watching The Kings on tv, especially Tyreke Evans, his favorite player
-playing his Spiderman video game, wanting to get all the thugs and all the coins in each level
-peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in his school lunch every single Monday, Wednesday and Friday
-surprises of any kind
-"rolling out" his muscles with Daddy after a great workout
-cheese samples from Whole Foods
-playing with his best friends: Austin, Ryan, Abelardo and Maro
-any card game, but right now his absolute favorites are SkipBo Jr. and Superhero Memory from the Dollar Store
-hoodies, but they must be blue and feature a Superhero of some kind
-being in pictures (lucky me) and taking pictures too
-apple pies from McDonalds
-trying to feed Tivo at every meal...makes Tivo happy, but not us!
-playing Tron on Grandpa Dave's computer
-bacon for breakfast and ham-n-cheese quiche for dinner
-one on one time with anybody...he's always loved it this way
-graphic tees from Old Navy featuring Superheros
-projects with Mommy-especially cutting with scissors
-The Batman, Spongebob and any movie rental from the Redbox

I can't wait to see what new adventures this year brings!

A Card from Our Little Valentine...

Makes my heart melt...

L.O.V.E.

Found this video today while searching for adoption blogs and charities.
Brought tears to my eyes-it was the opener for The Created for Care Adoptive Moms Retreat in the Atlanta area.

Adoption=Love.

Project Life Tuesday is here...

Finally my Project Life Kit arrived in the mail last week-I am so glad it is here! I've been collecting photos and "stuff" for the past five weeks in a giant folder. I am starting my album from 12-26-2010 because I couldn't stand the thought of not starting on a Sunday. Now I am playing catch up so here is Week #1.

Added this LO of Kolton about letting his light shine-one of my all time favorite pictures of our little boy:
Other Side of LO is this paper Kolton brought home from PreK this week, I love to capture what he's doing right now and this is perfect:
I also added one other 8.5x11 Page Protector which featured Kolton's January Calendar from preschool. One side is the calendar and the other side is the Parent Newsletter.

I am working on Week #2 and will post it when I'm finished!
Thanks for looking:)
