With all the fun of the Birthday Blog Hop and CHA projects, I realized that I haven’t shared a couple of projects that I did for the My Mind’s Eye Blog.
This first layout was shown on the Birthday Blog Hop. The other girls ROCKED their birthday layouts. You need to check them out.
On Neal’s 8th birthday, my Dad wrapped up a bunch of rocks and let Neal think that was his gift. He wasn’t sure how to take it. Grandpa and Grandma bailed him out with his own set of scriptures.
Last Christmas, my Dad wrapped up a roll of toilet paper. Neal was on to him this time and wrapped it up and gave it back.
For Neal’s birthday this year, my Dad wrapped up 9 Lego bricks for a 9 year old. It was fun because Neal was anticipating it. A couple of days before the big day, Neal said to me “I wonder what trick Grandpa is going to play on me this time.” All I can say is: “Look out on your birthday this year, Grandpa!”

We had a crazy-busy June! My June Top Ten ended up being a Top Twelve and could have easily been a Top Twenty!
I feel like June went by at a full and complete RUN! The minute school ended, we were in a race to get everything done: a concert, a new baby (an absolute miracle), planting the garden after the wet spring was over, swimming lessons, TWO Open Houses at the hospital and one retreat my husband worked so hard on, Cub Scout Camp, Basketball Camp, The Wasatch Back relay (third year in a row for Bryan), Father’s Day, Father’s & Sons Campout.
Somehow I fit in work amongst all that! It was a fun, event-filled month with very few computer games played.
I can’t believe the July is almost done and I’ll get to document another fun-filled month. I love this. I think I may just keep this up every year. It’s a great way to capture memories before they are lost.
