Busy Busy Boy!

I have been a scrapping machine. This is today's page:


My little brother Robert is in the Air Force. He is visiting for "Christmas" from Texas with his girlfriend Robin before he is sent on a mission to Venezuela. So we took Alton and my nephew to Disneyland today.

Alton is at a difficult stage. He can walk; heck, he can run! But he doesn't understand (or simply chooses to ignore our directives) that he need to walk where mommy and daddy want him to walk. So we spend 75% of our time chasing and re-directing. And when we get tired of doing that, we have to deal with a temper tantrum when we try to put him in his stroller. He is such a fun age! (If there was such a thing on Blogger, I would so insert an eye-rolling smiley here.)

I used the Ellie Lash kit, Merry and Bright for this layout.

Happy Birthday Auntie LaLa!

We went to Disneyland on Wednesday to celebrate Aunt Laurel's birthday.

I used the Birthday Bash kit I got from the Faith Sisters digital scrapping web site.

Angeles Crest

My brother is visiting with his girlfriend from Texas. Robin had never seen the Mountains before so we took a trip to Angeles Crest.
Alton fell on the trail and got quite dirty, but he has a really good time in the stream we found.

Visitors and Vacations

Wow, two posts in one day!

We had a great visit a couple of weeks ago from my good friend Becca. She lives in Hawaii now and we keep forgetting to take pictures when she comes to visit. This is us at the United terminal at LAX.


Our next visitors were the Scott's. They had a three hour layover at LAX on their way to a family reunion in New York. So we picked them up, grabbed In and Out and brought them back to our house for a mini-playdate for Chloe and Alton.
Unfortunately, Chloe had a poopsplosion and needed a bath in the sink.





After she was all cleaned up, Chloe was ready to "play".

Alton shows Chloe the immortal works of S. Boynton.

All their playing wore them out here they sleep together on the way to take the Scott's back to the airport. Funny how though mommies and daddies are all friends, all of the pictures are of the kids only....

Later that day we met The Gedeons and R and H from our home group at Disneyland.


Alton was totally asleep, so he is off screen here.




At the end of the night. We had a great time with you guys! We will miss you.

Family Photos!

My Dad said, "Alton looks bored."

The photographer started making funny noises... Alton started
to enjoy our session a little more.

At this point, Alton was smiling genuinely.

A real smile, and his first laugh. :)

Alton was DONE.

He perked up a little bit more...
