Our Family

Hey, Mom...

Yes, Honey?

I want to show you something. . .

She tells me it's our family. I can't believe she did these all by herself.

Oh, and I LOVE that the lego me is as thin as my children!  :)

Celebrating 5

A few more pictures of my boy to help celebrate his 5th year. The last image is something I've wanted to do for quite some time, and just got around to doing it. 

Technically, I guess he's 5 years and 1 month and 11 days old . . . but who's counting?

Even Super Heroes Get Fevers

Today, she's using her super powers to fight off this fever.

Hope it works.

Sick

We're home sick today. She's picked up a virus and has spent the afternoon in bed with a 101+ fever. These two pictures were taken after her nap and about 20 minutes after a dose of children's ibuprofen. She had no energy all morning and slept all afternoon, but after her medicine, she was all smiles - even put a on a tutu because she wanted to dance. Miracle drug. . .

Love my girl!

Simple Math

The Simple Things

A few pictures from early this morning. 

I love to watch my kids just be themselves. My favorite images remind me of these moments where they are nothing but their own selves. 

Go enjoy some simple time with whoever or whatever makes you happy. For me, that's those two little ones up there. 

Photo Dump And A Few Words

Well, here it is middle of February and I haven't blogged in over a month.  I've taken tons of pictures and we've done some fun things, but in the midst of photo-ing and fun-ing, I haven't had much time for blog-ing. :(

I have a very hard time editing pictures of my kids - not editing them in photoshop mind you, but editing down the many pictures I take and just taking one or two of the best and moving on.  Seems I love them all - I suppose it's the subject matter.

I tried to take some fun pictures of my boy to mark his 5 awesome years on this earth . . . Yep, these are almost all the same, but I can't part with one of them, so here they are. Have I mentioned that I love him?

I've been thinking of taking a picture of the kids on our front porch for quite some time now - I wanted the house number in the picture and well. This is kinda what I had in mind. I don't know how long we will be in this house, but it's our home, and I wanted a way to remember it . . . and have the kids remember it.

We've had such a mild winter. It's been wonderful. I've loved the sunshine - loved it!

Speaking of sunshine, this little lady is Little Miss Eternal Sunshine. Always smiling and usually happy. Have I mentioned that I love her? 

Seems everything is a gun now-a-days.  From what I hear, this just magically happens when little boys turn 5.

I had a great picnic with my little lady recently.  She arranged her blanket and the plates and food. She even invited her pink pony (although I tried to convince her that vegetables and fruit would be a better choice for a pony, but she insisted that the pony needed an egg and some chicken), and our dog, Scout sat down to join the party. The wonderful hostess that she is,  she gave Scout a plate and a large chunk of cheese for playing along.

Oh, fun in the tub. She'd laugh at herself all night long, and as much fun as she was having, I think I was having more. . .

My Boy - thinking of having this printed on a large square canvas.  I did say I loved him, right?

And my Little Lady. She's amazing & I love her. So much. So, so much. . .

Aaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd. . . we're caught up.

For now. :)
