Romancing your Marriage {Week 5}
I thought we all deserved a alittle break in order for those of us whom were getting behind could catch up ... that would be ME.
With Valentine's Day being tomorrow and the fact that all of us are pretty much already planning or have something special that we will be doing with our partner, I am really only going to post about how important it really is to tell your partner how much you love them everyday. I have been reading tons lately and its the one thing that never fails to be mentioned. The need that each of us has to hear the words "I Love You" from our lover at least once a day.

Quite a Productive Weekend
This past weekend I was feeling extremely motivated and well the "mojo fairy" was good to me. I finally finished 2 albums that have been sitting around, and made Ryan a Valentine's Day Gift. Since I didn't want to overwhelm everyone with tons of pictures I created these photo collages and will post the individual ones in my gallery at scrapbook.com sometime soon.
Christmas Journal
I decided to create a Christmas Journal and originally the idea was to complete Shimelle's "Christmas Journal Class", however I got way behind and ended up doing a mix of the pages she talked about and things that I wanted to include about our family and our traditions.
It was my first time working with the Clear Albums and I have to say that even though I was extremely intimidated at first, I really ended up enjoying it. I used quite of mix of sizes in the album also, from envelopes to small 4x6 pages. And even though I didn't finish it until this past weekend I am so happy that I did it. It will be something that I plan on doing every year.
I Love You Album
A few weeks ago I was browsing through some of my favorite blogs and Ali Edwards had this cute, cute album for Valentine's Day. I simply couldn't resist trying it out since I have a large supply of felt which I have never even really touched. It was super simple and I love it. Can't wait to fill it out and give it to Ryan on Valentine's Day.
Altered Children's Book
Now this I am SUPER happy that I have finally finished! I have been working on this on and off for probably a good 4 months or more. Seriously! Its a children's book which I altered with Olivia's pictures from the summer and some of my favorite memories. {Like her being complety obessed with Daddy's John Deer!!!}
Now this is the best picture EVER! This is how I found Ms. Olivia on Monday...when I called her name she looked at me and gave me that cheesy smile. I had to add the "Caught Red-Handed" on the picture because not only was she playing with my stuff, but she had taken her pants & socks off and was sitting there in her Cinderella undies. LOL She loves being in her shirt and that's it!!!!!!!!!!!! God I can only hope she gets over that really really fast. LOL
I made tons of cards too, but I guess I will leave those for another post.

Belly Pictrues - 25 Weeks
A few people have been asking for more belly pictures and I guess I better post a few before they "yell" at me. LOL
This was our third little photo shoot {Thank you Honey for being so patient} and I am still not happy w/them but its not the photographers fault that I am feeling a little insecure. I've been having a couple of those days where you run past the mirror really fast because you can't believe that is your butt staring back at you. I mean seriously pregnancy is wonderful, yes a MIRACLE, I know that, but the baby is growing in my belly NOT my BUTT. {Ok I feel better now!} LOL
I just love this picture. Olivia loves to see and rub my belly and she is really starting to sound excited about her baby brother.
Funny Story: Today she was laying with her head on my belly and the baby kicked really hard and she said: "Did you bop me?" When I responded that the baby had kicked she lifted my shirt and ask me to do it again. We must have sat there for a good five minutes before the baby kicked again. She was so excited and kept on saying "Do it again!!!"
