Genealogy, Journaling and Scrapbooking all in one!

If any of you know me, you know that I am very bad at all these things.  I think that is why I am so excited about really starting to blog because you can do all three at one time.  The thing I am the most excited about is being able to post pictures and write about what is going on in the pictures and the circumstances surrounding it. 

I have made it a goal to weekly go through all my old pictures and try and post and document what was going on.  The good thing is that most of my pictures have been saved in chronological order on my computer.  The bad part about this is catching up, and we didn't get a camera until right before Buddy was born.  So my journal/genealogy will have an eight year hole.  Maybe, I will go back and fill in some of the blanks, but for right now, I will start with these past three and a half years.  Wish me luck!

Fall Activities

I love Halloween. It is one of my favorite holidays. I love the decorations, the costumes, the candy, and all the fun activities that lie around the day. I love carving pumpkins, walking through corn mazes, making cookies and Carmel apples, going to parties with our ward, family and friends. Granted, we didn't do all of these by Halloween, but they are fun Fall activities.

This year as a family we bought season passes to Lagoon. By the end of the year, Buddy knew what Lagoon was, and that it meant rides and fun with Mom and Dad. This was the first time that we experienced Lagoon's Frightmares. It was great! The shows were amazing, as well as the costumes and haunted houses (that we actually went through.) There was a fun spook-a-boo walk for the kids to go trick or treating and a hay maze.

Buddy went on so many rides this year. He is only a few inches away from being able to go on all of them. He has no fear.

I love this picture! For some reason, when children cry, it makes the cutest picture. Smiler did not want to sit here.
