My NEW Business....

I take TONS of photos of my adorable kids and our adventures as a family and I'm always thinking of new ways and places to display them. They are, after all, the most important thing in my life. Last weekend I was introduced to a business opportunity I just COULDN'T pass up. When I saw the products I was just in love and so I signed on to show others how awesome this is. Heritage Makers is a business that allows you to turn your pictures into awesome projects like photobooks, storybooks, playing cards, calendars, canvases, greeting cards and much more. But it's not your ordinary digital scrapbooking. They are the leaders in the industry and designed the ideas that make it all possible. Think you could never figure it out? They allow you to upload your photos and save them as you make your projects with THOUSANDS of templates and art pieces to guide you. If you think you aren't creative enough to write your stories, NO PROBLEM. You have access to story maps (questions that guide you in writing your stories), and cute and memorable quotes that you can look up by topic. You can edit pictures and change out anything you don't like simply with a drag and drop system. IT'S SO EASY! Can you tell I'm excited!? If I've intrigued you just a little, check this out...

Because I'm a new consultant I get some awesome deals to get friends and family started up so let me know right away if your interested. You can get started as a client and I can help you through some projects or you can host a party and get your friends involved and earn products for yourself or you could even sign up to be a consultant like me and get some pretty amazing commission and products as well. I can even meet you in a "webinar" (online seminar) to tell you all about it if you don't live close to me. I'm so excited to show you this...Be the Heritage Maker in your family!

It's A......

GIRL!!! I have a beautiful little princess in my house! We named her Kallie. She's a 6 1/2 week old (tiny) black lab. She is just adorable and we are loving her a lot already.

A little more of Haydn...

Here's Haydn and his big cookie after his first day of joy school. After doing it for Connor, he requested a cookie too. I guess it will have to be our new tradition!


Oh, here's a funny story... we were sitting in a restaurant with our crew of little boys recently and the kids we drawing on there little place mats being very good and Scott and I were having a conversation. All of a sudden Haydn stands halfway up and yells..."FIRE"! We were both seriously caught off guard and there was no reason for him to think there was a fire. It just came out of nowhere! Holy cow! Of all the things you could scream...that was just too perfect! We were then reminded why we don't like to go to sit down restaurants with kids!

(addendum by Scott - at least we weren't in a crowded theater!)

Joy School Starts!!!

Haydn went off to his first day of joy school today. To say he was excited would be the understatement of the year. He's been asking me all week when he gets to go. He was so happy to have me pack his lunch and talk about what was in his backpack. Then we got to hop on the "bus", my big blue bus (car) and drive to school. When we got there he was greeted by one of his friends and her mom(the teacher for the week) and he took off. I love this little man. He's just growing up too fast. He's so smart and he's the little clown of our family too. His laugh is just to die for! He's really so sweet to his brothers and a great friend. My little Haydn is off to his first day of school! The house is quiet (Tristan is napping)! I could get used to this I suppose.
Showing off his backpack...


This was the forgotten goodbye I got.

Conversation this morning...
Me: "Haydn please finish your breakfast so you can walk with Connor to the bus." (he missed yesterday because he wasn't finished and Connor went by himself)
Haydn(nonchalantly): "No, I don't want to go to the bus."
Me: "Connor, do you like going to the bus stop by yourself?"
Connor: "Well, I like having Haydn to go with me, it's more fun."
Haydn(brightly): "Just me!"
Connor: "Well, I like everyone to go with me." pause..."I would be sad if you couldn't come with me Haydn."
Haydn: "If you are sad, I hope you get happy again Connor." Then Haydn went into high speed to finish so we could all walk Connor to the bus. Nothing like a loving brother for motivation!

Tristan WALKING!

Here's my Mr. T. walking! He's getting better every day! He also learned his first word other than Dada and Mama...if you know Tristan well you could guess it, BALL. Listen close and you'll hear his version of it. He also says car very similarly by saying Broom Broom, more "R" rolling than when he says Ball.
