Leighton's Scrapbook

Here is another look into Lo's scrapbook. I am -->: :<--this close to being all caught up with her scrapbook and Micah's book. My goal is to be caught up by the end of the month. We shall see, however, life usually interferes with all my best laid plans. HA!

Swim Lessons

{May}

This is a page for both kids. I am hoping after this first year with Micah, I will have more of these. That's the beauty of digi scrapping you can make one page once and print it as many times as you like.

Horsin' Around

My sister and I, well mostly my sister, use to babysit the H family. We use to fight over the oldest girl, Maddie, when she was in the church nursery. We begged her parents to let us babysit. Finally they gave in and let me babysit. I kept that gig for a few years, until a little after their 3rd baby, Olivia was born. Then I was too cool for babysitting and passed it right on over to Melissa. Who kept the gig through their 4th baby and pretty much was their nanny.

Now Maddie is all grown--in high school. Whoa, am I old. She invited Melissa over so Landrey could ride a horse and Melissa graciously let us tag along.

I wasn't really sure what Lo would think of riding a horse, but boy was she excited. This is her uber excited face.

Once Lo got her turn we were all shocked at how well she did and climbed right up there and rode like a real cow girl. I was super proud.

In order to for Landrey to get off and let Lo have a turn {that girl LOVES to ride horses} they told her she could walk Lo. And boy did she. I couldn't believe how she just took control of that horse.
It was a blast, thanks for letting us tag along. Aunt Misa.

This and That

I am sort of in a blah phase. Too much, yet so little going on. Make sense? Every felt like that?

So here is a little glimpse into our lives my brain.

{one}. All of September was shot with my sister and family coming for two weeks. {good thing}
Then as soon as they left I had to go back to work. {bad thing}.
My house is a wreck and I feel like my little routine I was getting into is lost. I just can't find my groove again.

{two}. I want a piano for Lo {and maybe me too}. I am still working on how to get my piano from childhood over here and where I can put it. Lo shows a real interest in music and the arts and I want to get her started early.

I use to play, but man it has been a loooong time, I really have to concentrate on something that use to be so natural to me. Not like riding a bike. HA!


{three}. How about them Cats? We are 4-0! Hope we can keep it up. And isn't this the cutest Wildcat fan ever?!
{four}. I did find some motivation to get my fall decor out. Really Lo wanted to get out the Pumpkin man, so badly, how could I refuse that face. So I bucked up and got it all out.





{five}. Micah went in for his weight check yesterday. 14#12z. Awesome. While I truly mean that this is awesome that he gained 10z in 2 weeks something he hasn't done in over 6 months it is a tad frustrating because now I am questioning whether to go forward with this surgery. Aghhh! He still spits up a ton, but I think the weight could be attributed to the fact that I have mostly weaned him {post to come}. My doc wants us to just to keep an eye on him still and worse/best case scenario we cancel the surgery.

{six}. This is what trying to get a picture of my two kids is like, especially when one is very mobile and busy!

{seven}. This past weekend we went to our city's festival. Really all we did was the parade. Lo was so pumped about it, she had no idea what it was about. She did enjoy getting candy and standing in the street. Me I enjoyed snuggling a baby boy who never falls asleep in my arms anymore. I just couldn't put him down, you have to enjoy those fleeting moments.

{eight}. These are the Keethler Men. Chad's half brother's family came to visit us on Saturday.
Also, funny because clearly we are a house divided. :) {KU vs KSU}

There is our lives in a nut shell. I can't believe we are entering the holiday season already. Lo is already talking about Sany Clause. :)
