Hi Laura-After a 13 year break we're going back to Disneyland and taking the new grand baby. I am so excited that I can't hardly stand it! I also have some great pictures of our 4th of July family celebration where we had both kids (and their families) with us. Mighty good summer if you ask me!!!

I can't wait to scrap our trip to Newport and Boston for my husband's nephews wedding in 3 weeks. It is a black tie affair and it will be the first time my son has worn a suit.

My step-daughter is getting married this Saturday in South Lake Tahoe and hoping that the pictures are beautiful and will be making her a scrapbook for sure. The reception is in August and it'll be an outside bbq with all of our family and friends and of course those will be getting scrapped too! lol :)

Oh that is a beautiful page!!! I love the design!! For me scrapping some zoo pics, slip n slide, pool and garden photos. We go to the zoo so often. I swear I could have quite a few albums filled with photos from all of our trips. Pretty much a staycation this summer.

I get to spend 2 months with my family in California this summer so I hope to have a ton of family photos to scrap. So far I've got lots of flag football and skateboard photos. I really liked your soccer layouts last week and hope to do something like that with the football pics although I've only got 2 years worth (so far). Thanks for all your inspiration!
