Camping

The Coolest Kid On The Block

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. I love this guy!!

Reporting Week 7

I'm late reporting again. We went camping this last weekend. Actually, this whole last week was a little crazy with the end of school, Jakob's Birthday, a camping trip, and Father's Day!! Wow! I tried to count calories, but it was so hard when we were camping. I tried to make healthy choices with what we were eating and portion control. Tracking all this this last month has taught me how hard it is to eat right when my schedule is off. It has been good for me to be mindful of things because even when I'm not sure what is in my food or how much I'm eating, I'm making better choices then I would have made and eating less then I would have ate.

I'm looking forward to NOT counting calories anymore. I was going to take a few days off and start up again but now I think I want to start something that doesn't require me to count calories. I've done it for awhile now and I'm getting a good idea of how much I should be eating. We will see what I come up with. One week left.

Jakob's Favorite Things

Here is a mini book I made for Jakob for this last birthday. Its such a fun way to showcase something in his life. This book focuses on his favorite things right now. I love having this documented because I know 6 months from now all the answers to these questions will be different. Its a way to freeze time and always remember the little things that make up who we are.

Scrapbook Page

Here is the only scrapbook layout we did at the retreat. I decided to put some photos of Jakob and Karter together on this page. I just want to add the title "Brothers" and add some journaling.

Card Box

This one was fun to make. Lots of work to add on the detail. Each divider is labeled and cards just slip right in the box.

Photo Box

Here is another something from the scrapbook retreat. This one was also a favorite. Really easy to make and so fun!! When you take the lid off the sides collapse and you can flip through the photos. How clever is that??
