P365/P52 Days 6-11

We are missing Day 6 because my camera’s memory card went wonky and deleted the photos I took Wednesday. I had a lot of pictures of Alton hoarding trucks at the Mom’s Club meeting.

Day 7
I got out for Mom's Night Out for Mom's Club, and I actually ice skated!

Here is my Tweet from the experience: "Ice. Fog. Tiny little slivers of metal attached to a moon boot. Beach. Jen. Which of these do not belong? For the record, I did not fall!"

Day 8
The new Pottery Barn Kids catalog arrives. Alton pours through it and asks that Santa bring him EVERY wooden car/truck/thing that moves on wheels in the catalog. (Which by the way, they don't sell in the catalog.) He also asks for the Fire truck bedding set. When we tell him Santa only comes once a year, he asks us to ask Amma....

I also think this is funny enough to note, When I told Travis that Alton was pouring through the catalog, he said, "Well now we don't need to have a girl. You already have someone to Pottery Barn shop with." Men.

Day 9
Alton is going to be a great reader like his mama and Uncle Robert. I often find him like this when he wakes up from his nap.

Day 10
Yes, that is my 2 1/2 year old on a bike. Yes he rides it. Yes, I am terrified of what this means. Pop Pop declares that the streets of Torrance will never be the same.

Day 11
Who doesn't love a good bubble bath?

Project 365...

Day 1
In the backyard....

Day 2
Trying to convince Daddy to hand over the keys. When asked where he was going, Alton said, "To buy more gucks and nummies." That is a direct quote.

Day 3
Alton's first pair of light up shoes. We got them shopping at the Tulare Outlets with Uncle "PatPat" and Auntie "Ann"

Day4
Supervising Uncle Pat Pat's sprinkler installation.

Day 4 still...
He is going to make a great big brother some day. He LOVED this little girl that was Patrick and Rae Ann's neighbor. He kept trying to keep Madeline out of the DVDs and CDs. So cute!

Day 4 continued...
We got home at 11 o'clock at night from Patrick and Rae Ann's. Alton was so tired that even though I was carrying him to his room, he felt it necessary to get down and crawl into his arm chair. I have no idea where he got my candle snuffer bag from. LOL

Day 5. Alton's "guck and vroom vroom" sheets from Amma and the construction quilt make their debut. Alton is quite pleased by this.


We will see how long this lasts....

kit by me!!!

I have been feeling VERY nostalgic since Alton turned two on Friday. Hence the labor and birth day layouts.

Alton is definitely two. He says no, multiple times a day and is into EVERYTHING!!! He is talking more, and tries to tell stories. So cute!

I cut his bangs for the first time yesterday. I have to say, I did a pretty good job. They are reasonably straight, I did not cut them too short and there aren't any jagged edges. Trying to get him to look at me and hold still was an adventure though, I will tell you.

Beach-y Layouts

We've been going to the beach a lot. It's not far from our house and it is really fun to watch Alton play in the sand and he is getting braver about going into the ocean. His favorite part of going to the beach though, is washing the sand off of his feet at the beach's showers.



I used the Graham Like the Cracker/Wyld Web Designs Collab, The Seaweed is Always Greener for this layout. I also used Elegant WordArt by Bethany's word art.

I used the Amanda Heimann/Ziggle Collab, Surfer Dude for this layout. The BOY alpha is from the Scrap Orchard June Mega, recolored.

An All Scrap Review...

So I had a request for some new photos... I don't do just photos anymore... (Omg that would be so much faster!) So here are all of the digital scrapbooking layouts I have done lately. He gets younger the further down you go!

We have soooo much fun with him!

Still Alive

Alton is growing and signing and talking!

He actually got an award at church last weekend for telling his teacher that his friend needed more crackers during snack. :)

He is talking so much more!

He is also sick right now. Poor little Boo Bear has tummy troubles. :(
