Stay Cool

Summer is here and I couldn't be happier about it! I must admit I HATE the heat since I sweat like a pig on those hot days (something hormonal changed in me when I gave birth to Kira, and I haven't been the same since), but I still LOVE summer. Weird, huh? My favorite part is definitely swimming in the pool with the kids, and then taking it easy in the gazebo.  Sometimes we have treats, too!

These pictures are from May 2010. Sean was 6-years-old back then. He sure was enjoying his Drumstick!

 

I love the #summer collection from American Crafts. So fun and bright, it was perfect for these photos!

I am entering this layout in the Stuck?! June 15th challenge.

Thanks for dropping by! ♥

Treat

I've been having so much fun scrapbooking lately!  It's back to being on my mind all the time, and it's an amazing feeling!  I've been having fun with my supplies, using this and that, a bit at random.  It's so fun when things are not so "rigid", kwim?

Here's one I made using pictures of Sean and Kira from 2010. I remember that day, I am amazed that 2 years have passed!
