Games

We took another trip to the arcade this weekend.  Nathan and Jesse started off with the Batman car game again, and then tried this more age-appropriate fishing game.

Nathan had his third soccer game and he remains hilariously unaware of his surroundings.  This picture captures his not-keeping-his-eye-on-the-ball technique perfectly! 

He still has fun, and is stinkin cute out there.

After his soccer game, we visited our old playground and then headed over to a brew pub to watch a premier league game and have lunch.  There was certainly lots of soccer today!

Happy Birthday Layout

September is my birthday month and Creative Embellishments is turning 5! To go along with the birthday theme, I created a layout of Nathan's first birthday. I used Creative Embellishments' Happy Birthday Banner, Balloon Set 1, and Month/Week Tabs. I covered each of the chipboard pieces with gesso and added pastel perfect pearls for this soft sweet page.

Fun New Adventures

Last weekend Nathan went to a birthday party at Hoot's, which is this cute playground/inflatables place, and he had SO much fun playing with his friends from school!

This little cutie gives us so much joy!

This weekend Nathan started soccer!

As you would expect, the "game" was mass chaos, but our cute little #3 had a ton of fun anyway!

Last but not least, we went to the fair this year, and Nathan loved the rides, games, and petting the farm animals.

Birthday Cards

This month is not only my birthday month -- Creative Embellishments turns 5! They are hosting a birthday crop next weekend so look out for that. To get you in the mood for this crop, I am sharing two birthday cards that I created using Small Sentiment Words, Birds, Cupcakes 2, and Family Banners. I liked how the chipboard looked against the blue and white papers so I left them unaltered.

Labor Day

We had a nice and relaxing long Labor Day weekend. Nathan is doing great in swim class, and we found out that Cora, his new best friend at school, is also in his swim class!

We also celebrated my birthday and tried Flying Star's giant eclair,

and we were invited to an arcade for some fun and games.

Nathan has started enjoying Garfield cartoons. He doesn't get most of the jokes, but completely cracks up when there is a funny picture like Garfield getting his head stuck in a bottle.

Milestones Layout

I created this clean and simple layout of Nathan's progress towards walking using these adorable baby animal papers and Creative Embellishments' Milestones Word Set. I used light blue chalk ink on top of gesso to make the chipboard blend into the baby blue and white color scheme of this layout.
