Our Thanksgiving photos



The girls



For some reason I handed Calissa to Darrin for the 'boys' picture so we don't have just the boys.

Poor Calissa she is always getting lots of love ;)

My 4 favorite people in the world!!

Pictures of friends

My friend Mendy asked me to take their pictures several weeks ago.  A lot of the trees had already fallen by the time we took them, but they turned out pretty good. 

This little guy turned 2 last month and he is getting a baby brother in March.

First Day of School 2012

Posing with his sisters...

This year it worked out that we could send him to the bible school.  He loves it which is the opposite of how he felt about kindergarten.  He loved his teacher and classmates at the other school he just would cry or was sick at least once a week.  We haven't had any tears so far this year and he is doing really well.  He had all A's the first quarter...and loves Math?!  That came from his dad because I never liked math.  I remember doing homework late at night in tears because of math.

A photo compliments of Kaylee taken of Mommy and Bradyn. 

And he's off...to the car I didn't make him walk ;) Although we live about 2 minutes away which is wonderful.

Her 1 Year Photos

I actually took these several weeks before her first birthday.  I planned on taking some more, but time has gotten away from me.  We are getting ready to take some family pictures in a week or 2.

There are many pics because I can't decide on which I like best...

A silly pose...this was a face she was into making around that time.   Now she wrinkles her whole face when she smiles at you.

11 Month pictures

Part of the reason I have to start blogging again is because I don't have anything written down weight, height, etc...

Our little firecrackers

10 months old

Her sweet daddy helped me with all of those streamers

Our 'sweet' table something I have always wanted to do....and a little sugar never hurt anyone  ;)

I saw this cake online and knew I wanted to try something like it for one of my girls...I was very happy with how it turned out.

Dana snapped some pictures of us before the guests arrived.

Yum!

Cousins

Lots of friends and family to help her celebrate

So it has been awhile, but at the request of my family I am going to try to get back into blogging...  Blogger has of course changed since I left making it interesting to upload and arrange.  These are from Sept 14th Calissa's 1st Birthday party.  Her birthday is the 3rd, but due to a lot going on around that time we made it later in the month.  My friend Dana offered her house for the party when we realized how cold and rainy it was going to be.
