Scrap Page Catch Up

My New Year's Resolution last year went really well! I only had a couple pages to catch up on at the beginning of this year before I was able to make our 2013 book. So of course this year I made the same resolution, but am totally slacking! I just can't get in the groove. I sit down to scrap and end up on Pinterest! Oh well.. here are some pages I'm trying to catch up on from January til now.

Back in January we celebrated Luke's birthday! He was so excited to open his presents. Crazy how he is just turning into a little man!

Also back in January, Johnny turned 18 months. He starting going to nursery, at church, and hated it! Now he loves it.. most days. But he does love playing outside and helping daddy work on stuff.

 

One morning in March, Mark came up to me while getting ready for school and said, "mom there is a steer head on my nose!" He scrunches his little nose up and sure enough the outline of a steer head shows up! I decided to scrap this memory and call it "Born a Cowboy" .. cows are in his DNA!

 

And in April we went to the fair! We love the fair! The food, the rides, the rodeo, the food.. oh wait I already said that! We had a blast!

 

These next two scrap pages are the more recent memories. ^^Mother's Day! Me and the kiddos :)^^

 

and Allie's Spring Violin recital. The recital was only two days ago, so 10 points for me for not procrastinating! Allie did great. She is loving violin and we plan to add the piano this Summer to switch things up.

Whew! Now I need to scrap Mark's birthday, May Day and lots of camping and canoeing trips!!

County Fair

We kicked off the 2012 Clark County Fair by chaperoning Allie's kindergarten class. It was a lot of fun! We walked around the booths, ate, watched the Pig Races, watch the livestock show, ate, petted the small animals, got faces painted, milked a fake cow and ate!



That afternoon, we met up with Dad after he got home from work, and went on rides with our Nelson cousin's.









Whew! ... after a much needed Pepsi break, we kept on trucking at the carnival!
We rode and rode and rode and stayed up waaaaay past bed time!!



The next day we went over for a bit, but the rain and wind sent us home until the rodeo.




Uncle Mark and Luke's faces say it all -- We love the fair!!!
'Til next year!
