Its DONE!!!

Hurray!! I LOVE how it turned out and am so happy have had it done by my Nonna's birthday which is this Friday, so here is a birthday shout to her!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to an amazing, inspiring, loving woman who brings so much light to our world. Love you Grandma!

Here is the finished product. With the exception of a few photos that through MANY attempts I am having a pretty tough time tracking down. This was a fantastic lesson in family history, I pretty much can name EVERY family member and can put children with parents there are probably about 170 currently so that is a big deal to me!
I love it and hope my Granny loves it too.



(we did not intend to coordinate but doesn't she look great?!)



One of the best ladies I know (you know I love you Doll!) gave Curtis and I some tix to go to the Haunted Canyon (Heber Creeper) I thought it would be a little more kid friendly, since it seems targeted to children. It was, for the most part. We had a great time riding the train and spotting the spooky characters along the track. But then things headed South when those 'creepy' characters joined us for the ride back and started 'haunting' up and down the train cars. Oli and Emerson did NOT appreciate this. JR even advised Emers to 'growl' back at the scary dead lady to show he wasn't scared... you want to know what she did? She growled right back and wouldn't leave Emers alone until she proved it to him that she was scary! Poor Oli was CLINGING on to me and kept his face shoved into my neck I admit I loved the nuzzling but hated that they kept trying to scare him.

Are we bad parents to do this to our kids?

Like I said, Oli doesnt like men in hats. Uncle JR wanted to test him. Not cool, Uncle JR!
