Free Spirit

The minute I saw this line of paper and embellishments from Bo Bunny I knew it was the perfect match for these photos of Kiahana.
the only thing on this layout that is not BoBunny is the yellow button, fiber and the brads that came from my stash. I don't usually scrap this way, but the title labels were so perfect for the pictures!

When Alan was little he loved wearing hats. It didn't matter who the hat belonged to or if he was wearing it backwards, he just wanted a hat on his head!

We were at Great Grandma & Grandpa May's house for Easter Dinner 2006 when out the window I saw Kiahana on the patio just enjoying the music in her own way, never worrying if anyone was watching. I snapped the first few of these pictures before she even realized I was there, of course once she saw me she did a little posing for the camera. Kiahana has such a wonderful free spirit and love of life. I really hope she can hold on to this as she grows older. I am so grateful I get to be called Grandma by tis amazing child.

The text on page two tells the story of putting the tramp together:

What could possible be more fun than assembling a trampoline with the help of your two daughters and four grandchildren? Brent's answer to this would be ANYTHING! About the time the frame was almost finished he got so frustrated he had to go inside and lay down. I jumped in an helped the girls do the last couple of screws. Heather was convinced that we had the wrong size mat and it would never fit. I kept telling her that the springs were new so they were tight.Kelli got out the spring stretcher, she and Heather both tried but could not get the last few springs to stretch. About this time Cole walks over, takes a look at what we are doing doing, grabs the stretcher handle and calmly finishes them all with no problems and very little effort. Thank heaven for teenage Grandsons! Then before the spring cover is even tied down Kiahana is up there insisting that she is going to start jumping right now! Thank you Great Grandma May - the kids love the trampoline.
