Hot Air Balloon layout...

For the month of January Alexis' preschool is learning about the different types of transportation.  On Family Day, January 16, the parents were invited to visit the class.  We helped the kids make hot air balloons out of craft paper, pipe cleaners, and milk cartons.  It was a great experience for the parents and for the kids.  Alexis had so much fun that I decided to do a two page scrapbook layout.  I forgot to bring my camera but, took pictures with my cell phone.  They're not the greatest but worked fine for scrapbooking. 

I got my inspiration for this layout from Jennifer of Creative Cricut Designs.  Here is a link to her blog and the layout that inspired me... http://www.creativecricutdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/08/balloon-rally-scrapbook-layout.html. 

Here are my layouts...

These pictures were also taken with my cell phone so, I hope you can  see them.  I have a bad habit of not journaling on my scrapbook layouts.  I decided that I would start attempting to do journaling this year.  It was actually easier than I thought it would be. 

Thank you for checking it out and don't forget to go check out Jennifer's blog.  She is very talented and has some great layouts on her blog.

PCA Finals 2012 Rodeo....

I won tickets to the rodeo for this weekend.  Alexis was so excited that she talked about it all week.  She wanted to wear her cowgirl outfit and she wanted to rope the bull, LOL.  Well, she did get to wear her cowgirl outfit.  She didn't get to rope the bull but, she got to "ride" the bull!!  When we arrived at the coliseum they were taking pictures of fans "riding" the bull.  Alexis HAD to do it, LOL.  Here she is...

Isn't she cute?!?!  I think that was the highlight of her day.  Her favorite part was the bull riding, LOL.  The bad thing is that it was the last performance of the evening!! 

Olivia didn't want to even go to the rodeo but, given other choices she decided to tag along.  We couldn't leave her out, LOL.  We had to have a picture of her riding the bull too (I can't wait to do a scrapbook page on these!)  The guy made her yell, "Yeee Haaa" to take the picture.  Here she is....

She had fun as well, especially when one of her friends from school showed up.  Sorry for the quality of these pictures.  These are actually pictures of pictures.  I took a picture of each of the actual pictures with my cell phone so that I could picture text them to my sister.  I thought I would do a quick blog post about it so I used the same pictures instead of scanning the originals.  I so want to do scrapbook pages on them...I guess I should do that instead of being lazy.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.  I hope you enjoyed it.  Don't forget to leave a comment.  My girls would really enjoy reading your comments.
