Last month my eldest turned nine. I got completely sidetracked and forgot to write up a birthday post, which is kinda sad since that is the only post I've been writing lately. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
ANYWAY....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Munch is nine now. Almost a decade. I've been a Mama for ALMOST A DECADE. That is so bizarre. </div>

I might be a bit biased, but he is AMAZING. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />He always jumps to help whenever I ask for it and rarely complains about it. He's also a bit of a mother hen and SOMETIMES has to be reminded that he isn't the parent.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi65jcDV_qM0xyKalah1nntMhzponlukhf7zAHQV700-p3ZorcD7UH7uGpVuHQAEN465QjppuN9nyheHndJBbQKsjp0sbRORdCblK_BHmnQwF4RNPLBFO_rNHq9gUTMAtP3RS0IlPqhDo/s1600/24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1065" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi65jcDV_qM0xyKalah1nntMhzponlukhf7zAHQV700-p3ZorcD7UH7uGpVuHQAEN465QjppuN9nyheHndJBbQKsjp0sbRORdCblK_BHmnQwF4RNPLBFO_rNHq9gUTMAtP3RS0IlPqhDo/s400/24.jpg" width="265" /></a></div>

<br />He still loves hugs and snuggles, which I secretly hope he won't ever grow out of...even though I know in my heart he probably will. He's growing up too quickly.</div>

He loves to dance to the records Daddy plays.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGvqNfyc3GnkSjqh6oUPtAsimIPnpVEvZfPHLZ_HAHslqPxwc_6-u6Ubk90jXWAPhvfcnq4rGd0Hb72y6yC3Vdh6Vy5jqqIbpd_HCj3roKsYsVuqyHBUnhDl-vuXsS3CGABh1grnhe3jo/s1600/15+Velvet+Ash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGvqNfyc3GnkSjqh6oUPtAsimIPnpVEvZfPHLZ_HAHslqPxwc_6-u6Ubk90jXWAPhvfcnq4rGd0Hb72y6yC3Vdh6Vy5jqqIbpd_HCj3roKsYsVuqyHBUnhDl-vuXsS3CGABh1grnhe3jo/s400/15+Velvet+Ash.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

When my sister told me she was having a girl, she asked me to make my niece to be a blanket. Happy was a month old at the time and I was still trying to figure out the ins and outs of being a mother of three. Let's be honest...I'm not sure I'll ever master it. </div>

We are currently in the second season. I enjoyed the first season more, but I like that it's a different story each season. </div>

It snatched me up at the first line "I once was a dinosaur." I'm so happy my father gifted it to me for Christmas, the dinosaur loving kid in me can't wait to dig in. </div>

Another gift from my father and signed by Neil Gaiman this album is a collection of songs written by various artists and based around their favorite works of Neil Gaiman. Not all the songs are to my taste, but it's a fun listen and one I look forward to trying when I have a chance to listen and have a good look at the artists and notes from Mr. Gaiman. </div>

Making: I just finished making a few things for Christmas, but I wasn't able to make Happy's stocking...and I'm now two years late on that project so I'll be trying to get that done before the end of the month. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Feeling: Like I'm coming down with something AGAIN, but we are starting Spark People again and we are going to stick with it. I haven't felt well for a long time now and I know it has to do with how we have been unhealthy couch potatoes for too long. </div>

Lately he's been craving alone time. I feel for him. Alone time is a rare and wonderful thing in our house; five humans and three animals can be hard to escape. There have been a few times that I've found him hiding in his closet. I wish I could find such a peaceful spot.</div>

He mostly avoids snuggles and hugs unless he's saying goodbye or goodnight....breaks this Mama's heart, because this kid gives some awesome monster hugs. Forget holding hands anymore. He is WAY too big for that.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd41clcmT22wjBvKdLSJ2dGfdRmLJ3H-G1Ph5IEJXCav8IjVlm7uSz6W1HxfKP2m5puHsphRg_XswToTEnffcpA-7H7a4vPJsok5qWbM8ohNWk6qL2mi6JOnqolQ1O4kd71XmEX8HkZ2Y/s1600/DSC_0019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd41clcmT22wjBvKdLSJ2dGfdRmLJ3H-G1Ph5IEJXCav8IjVlm7uSz6W1HxfKP2m5puHsphRg_XswToTEnffcpA-7H7a4vPJsok5qWbM8ohNWk6qL2mi6JOnqolQ1O4kd71XmEX8HkZ2Y/s400/DSC_0019.JPG" width="265" /></a></div>

This Summer was the Summer of <a href="http://pbskids.org/wildkratts/" target="_blank">Wild Kratts</a>. Happy requested every day and Nox soaked up every episode that we could get. It's so much fun hearing what new facts he picked up.</div>

.He started First Grade last week and loves it so far. He is so excited to tell me all about his day when I go pick him up. He still has a few Summer cobwebs to brush from his brain, but he can't wait to learn more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is so smart and bright. He is quick to smile, with a side of fiery temper. He has a cheeky, crooked grin that lights up the room. He loves to read to his little brother. He enjoys playing endless games of Plants Vs. Zombies and building <a href="http://www.lego.com/en-us/bionicle" target="_blank">Bionicles</a> with his older brother. For the third year running he's the <a href="http://www.lego.com/en-us/mixels" target="_blank">Mixel Master</a>.<br /><br />LOVE this kid. </div>

On Monday my little ball of crazy happy chaos turned TWO. Every year when birthdays roll around I'm always in awe of how quickly time can pass. It's insanity. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy is a pro at keeping everyone on their toes. If he can't do something he figures it out quickly. Fridge door? Mastered<br />Baby Gates? Pretty much pointless. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Doors? Lock them, because he WILL get in...or let himself right out.<br />Sleep? Okay, this is a work in progress, but we WILL get there. </div>

The Doctor and I had been a little concerned about his speech, but in the last few months he has just blossomed. So many words and new ones everyday. Yay!!<br />AND he recently decided to officially start calling me "MA!" Loud and clear. It's usually when he is demanding something, but that and "Mama" are the best words ever. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is a HUGE fan of trains. He loves dinosaurs, dragons and anything else that has the ability to ROAR. The furkids are his best buddies and are insanely patient with him and all his love. His big brothers are his Idols and even though I don't think they realize it half the time, Happy watches everything they do with awe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He loves dancing with Mickey Mouse, choo-chooing with Thomas, exploring the ocean with The Octonauts and learning about all things prehistoric with Buddy and The Dinosaur Train.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His biggest obsession, currently, is water (or really anything in liquid form). All drinks need to be pushed as far back on the counter as possible. Kaiser's water bowl is NOT safe. If Happy gets a drink you can be sure he'll turn it into a water toy and Daddy recently taught him how to work the water hose, so if you join Happy outside prepare to get soaked.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy is part monkey, part volcano and full of giggles. He is a puddle jumping, stick loving, outdoor explorer. He doesn't like strangers a whole lot, but once you win his affection he loves you fiercely. </div>

Happy has been having some serious sleep issues and as a result has turned our routine upside-down. Last Tuesday was the first night since Valentine's Day that he stayed in his own bed alone. We moved a twin mattress into his room and have been taking turns sleeping in there, slowly easing our way out. It has been exhausting to say the least. I'm hoping things will start getting back to some vague semblance of normal now.<br />

Happy is a kid of few words. It used to be he would say something once and that would be the end of it, but just in this past month he's decided that using words isn't a bad thing. Very often he speaks in a low pirate growl and it makes me so happy that he's finally showing an interest. </div>

Sorry if the lighting isn't fantastic. I waited till the last minute and most of my natural light was gone. Still doing really well on 2016. All the pictures are organized and ready to print, sticky notes are in place telling me what stories and which pictures go where. It's been pretty easy so far sticking to my plan and I really REALLY hope it stays that way.<br /><br />My "week one" runs January 1st -3rd </div>

I organize my cards mostly by color and buy a lot of mixed lots...so I rarely know where anything comes from. The little boom box is a Studio Calico stamp and it's one of my favorites. The picture of hubby and I is an extra from our family pictures I used for my title page. It didn't work out there, but I had to include it. Three of the pictures on this page were snagged from my husband's phone. It's nice to have another person taking pictures. </div>

We drove through a neighborhood which is SO super busy during December, but not so busy January 1st, even though a lot of the houses were still decked out. The Star Wars lawn was my favorite. Our family also had the last of our FIVE Christmas celebrations. </div>

I think I did a good job of keeping it simple. Once all the pictures were in the protectors I think it took all of 15 minutes to complete, if that. It really feels good to simplify things this year.</div>

White I have all the pictures printed for 2014, I'm not done with book two. 2015? Still on March. But I'm still plugging away...I have a good rotation and I'm getting those photos out of my computer and all our stories told. I'm slow, but I love it.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So far this year I've managed to stay on top of things. I clear our phones and cameras every Sunday. I check Facebook and Emails for important updates and add them to my super duper PL planner and I get to work. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my 2016 Title Page</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Pretty simple and I enjoyed digging through my stash for the perfect cards. I think I have a mix of Elle's Studio, Freckled Fawn and Studio Calico. I know the W is an ancient find from Michaels.<br /><br />My game plan for staying on top Project Life this year is to keep it SIMPLE. </div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">I don't need to use EVERY picture I take. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I don't need to use ALL the things on every page. (Those can be saved for traditional layouts)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I'm going to try and stick to Design A. In past years I've mixed it up and while I LOVE the look and I find it fun to work with the different layouts, sticking to this ONE should simplify things.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I know January tends to be my lazy month and then everything picks up and gets crazy, but hopefully I can keep on top of things. Would love to hear how other Project Life Scrappers stay current. </div>

I plan to walk, run and be active. I plan to be healthier and stronger. I plan to love myself more, because my guys deserve a happier Mama and wife.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So lots of more with a little less mixed in. I hope everyone is having and continues to have a wonderful 2016. </div>

Yesterday, Munch turned seven. We opened presents, went on a family field trip, and ate good burgers and ice cream cake. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday marked seven years of being Mama and I am so proud of this sweet boy who first called me that name. </div>

I have joined a no buy challenge for all things scrappy. It's mainly for the month of October, but some (me included) are going into a deep freeze. My goal is to not buy anything scrapbook related (other than prints and maybe adhesive) for 3 months. <br /><br />I have a pretty large stash of stuff that I haven't looked at in forever. After having Munch, I moved away from traditional scrapbooking and into digital, but kept all my old goodies. Then when I started Project Life, I started buying stuff again. I usually just buy a little at a time, but it's added up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So NO shopping until January. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first layout of the month fits well with Throwback Thursday. .The papers are a good 8 years old and the picture is of my sister and I in the 80s. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's fun looking through my photos and searching my hoard of supplies for the perfect items to use. I'm really looking forward to getting everything down to a more manageable level. I'm going to reevaluate in January and if I can, I would love to go six months. </div>

Currently Happy is...<br />
<br />
Waking up early<br />
<br />
Enjoying our morning walks with Kaiser.<br />
<br />
Picking up any bag he can carry and giving out air kisses. (Just like Daddy when he leaves the house for work.)<br />
<br />
Loving his <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Little-Teapot-Carry-Along-Board/dp/076962989X/ref=sr_1_9?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1440626251&sr=1-9&keywords=i%27m+a+little+teapot&pebp=1440626274988&perid=1YAX7WRB3DPB3NQ0QTJV" target="_blank">I'm a Little Teapot</a> book. He makes me sing it a dozen times a day and his "thank-you" smiles are precious.<br />
<br />
Dancing on tables and laughing like a maniac as Mama and Daddy run to "save" him.<br />
<br />
Doing whatever Daddy and the Bigs are doing, whether they want him to or not. (He is, at this moment, "helping" put together our new vacuum.)<br />

Lately, Munch has been completely fascinated by my Project Life albums and all my supplies. He's been begging to let him help. Instead I grabbed an "extra" album out of my stash and gave it to him. We went through my left over photos that I had copies of or ones that just didn't make the cut.<br /><br />He decided to start with some 6x8 layouts and had so much fun going through my stash for the perfect embellishments.</div>

This one he used a tag he took off his new Batman jacket. He was so thrilled with the idea of reusing something for his book.<br /><br />He's grown up so much since these pictures were taken. I love that he's interested in scrapping with me, because it's so nice to have a scrapping buddy.<br /></div>

Munch has been bouncing with excitement for the past week. He has SO been looking forward to being back at school with his friends. We were all delighted to see that he had so many good friends in his 1st grade class.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
So super proud of him. He's worked hard on his reading this year and worked all summer on his work books, a lot of time without being asked. He is so ready for this year. I can't wait to see how much he grows and learns. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My little Nox finished up his very last day of preschool on Thursday. He is so insanely happy to be in school with his big brother this year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have been nervous about him starting. He's only 4 and makes cut off for this year's class by mere days. I worry about how he'll do. I wonder if he's mature enough. He might know as much, if not more than Munch did his first day. He knows all the teachers already and they all know him..but still, he's only four.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I'll miss his crooked smile, the out of the blue hugs and kisses and his singing to himself all day as he plays. </div>

Today we said farewell to our sweet furbaby, Skye. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
She had gotten seriously ill in November and I don't think she truly ever bounced back. Last night she refused a can of tuna and just stared weakly at her water. This morning I found her barely able to move next to her litter box and we knew it was her time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
John adopted Skye while we were dating. She came to us in 2003 as Miss. Molly. We found her on Petfinder and John had to request a special meeting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
She was insanely shy at first, but it was hard not to love her. One look at those intense blue eyes and that fluffy cloud of white fur and John knew her name had to be Skye. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
She for sure was John's girl. They had a super special connection and she never loved another human so much, until Munch was born and she warmed quickly up to him. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
She was always happy to visit company and sit down for a chat. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
She loved being pet and wasn't afraid to let you know by giving out love nips. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
She probably would have preferred to be the only furbaby and never quite warmed up to Kaiser and Joplin. She did tolerate Gandalf though and at times her relationship with The Old Bear resembled an old married couple.</div>

He coasts easily all over the place, stands on his own like nothing and even manages a few small steps before crashing. He loves holding hands though, because then he can really move. </div>

He is SUPER into music. Doesn't matter what really. If it's got a beat he'll dance to it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He loves LOVES animals. Our personal, at home zoo cracks him up and delights him. He also loves watching animal videos. Those are pretty much the best things ever. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He likes to wave, salute and point and everything. He's working on a heart stealing trick of blowing kisses too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He likes to talk to and watch strangers, but isn't all about them touching him. Lately, you really have to be the right person at the right time to get holding rights. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Through this whole year it has been so delightful to have such a joy filled baby. From day one he has been quick to smile. He almost always has a laugh for you, even when he's just gotten tackled by his brothers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all adore this sweet boy and are looking forward to seeing his journey from babyhood to toddler. </div>

I have been working on getting pictures organized for Happy's baby album this past week. Most of the book will be PL style which so far is working beautifully. However, there are always those stray pictures that just have to be in there, but can't really go on a PL spread all by their lonesome.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is one of my favorite pictures and one of the very few of Happy and my sister (and my niece). It was a lucky snap with my phone and I'm so glad I captured it. </div>

I'm loving the flow I have right now with Happy's book and hope I can go back and finish up Munch and Nox's books in the same style. </div>
