More pages and some templates April 17, 2009

I haven’t shared pages in a while and I have quite a few to share.

 

Since I love using templates to make my pages so much (um, all of the ones above are from templates and most of the ones below), I decided to figure out how to make my own. So that’s just what I did today. And if anyone reads this blog and wants to download these freebie templates, have at it! (images are linked)

 

Are you a superhero? April 17, 2009

Filed under: Amelia, General — rachelsramblings @ 2:59 pm

Amelia and her Daddy were having a conversation the other day. I’m not exactly sure how it all started, but at some point they started talking about being a superhero. Here’s the rest of their conversation:

Daddy: Am I a superhero?

Amelia: You’re almost a superhero.

Daddy: What do I have to do to be a superhero?

Amelia: You just have to save the world.

 

Well, then, if that’s all there is to it, you’d think there would be more superheros, huh?

 

We started gymnastics classes yesterday. Amelia is in the Tiny Tots class  and Jack and I are in the Mommy & me class. For Jack’s class it’s pretty much just a time to play and learn to take turns. Amelia seems to really be liking her class and it gives her a safe way to jump on stuff without killing herself.

 

Last Friday (Good Friday), the Orlando Cooleys went to Ft. Pierce to visit the Ft. Pierce Cooleys. The Ft. Myers Cooleys were also there. It was Mawmaw’s birthday, so Amelia was very excited. Since we were staying in Orlando for Easter, we had our egg hunt while we were down there. Here are some pictures from the day.

Here’s me showing Jack where to find the eggs:

 

Ted installed a tire swing while were there, so everyone had to have a turn on it:

 

Daniel went a little wild on the horse swing:

 

Here are some pictures of Daddy and his kids:

Here is Mawmaw and her cake:

And finally some of the grandkids.

All of them after the egg hunt:

More Amelia-isms April 3, 2009

Some of the stuff that comes out of her mouth is quite hilarious!

The other day she was sitting on her Daddy’s lap. He asked her if she was his girlfriend and she said yes. He said that was a good thing because he only let his girlfriends sit on his lap. And to that Amelia said, “You silly old chum!” What? Who says that? Let alone a 3 year old.

Then this morning, Amelia was trying to get me out of bed to make her some breakfast. So I said I was stuck. She looked at me and at the bed and said, “There’s no honey on there.” What a nut!

And for a  total change of topic, here are some more scrapbook pages:
