Gibson Family

As you can see me new little hobby has been to make collages. Part of this is because it is great to just have 1 photo with several images, second, it is way easier to upload, third, I want the practice to keep my mind sharp. This collage was a more traditional attempt with just family photos. I tried to give it a little more space between the photos.

The next one I tried to tie in some more sentiment. Nate told me it looked to boxy and I didn't get it proportioned well. It is all just a work in progress....

I just made this collage for my family on my moms side. It shows my grandpa and grandma Gibson on thier wedding day. The temple they were married in (Idaho Falls)--my grandpa always points to the sealing room and says "there is where it all began". The photo on the top with the kids looking out the window is from when I was a kid my grandparents would hire a Santa to come for the annual Christmas party. Santas getaway plan was for the kids to look out the big picture window and look for Rudolphs nose...wouldn't you know that each and every year we would all see it! This is also a special photo, because it is one of my grandpas favorites! The one below the wedding one is of my grandpa and Sarah (granddaughter) and Emily (greatgranddaughter) because they share the same birthday, as did his mother in law Grandma James who has passed. The other photos are of each of thier 5 children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren!

This has been a lot of fun! Now I will have to talk to Sean and decide which one to print and hang in our home!

Jarons Birthday Party

This year for Jarons birthday he got to have a friend party. Lucky for me, Anne called, and was not able to get a date schedule early for Jake's party (about 2 weeks before Jarons), and wanted to know if I wanted to do a combined party with her. It worked out great because they have pretty much the same friends, so they were able to invited twice as many kids! We let them to to Randys Tumbling gym and they were able to jump off the tower, run on the trampoline, slide into the pit, build with the blocks, play with the parachute, climb the wall, and just be wild animals! Sean even took part in the festivities and did some running and jumping, usually he will do the pit too, but there were too many kids.
I don't know what it is, but I am the mom that the kids attack! And yes, this party was no exception.....At one point in time I had about 10 kids who cornered me into a wall throwing foam blocks at me! If there is a water party, then I am drenched...you get the idea. Jaron had a blast and that made it all worth it. It was a fun and exhausting day! We love Jaron. I is a fun addition to our family. He brings a special sweetness that is just Jaron!
