Violet turns 3!

I just can't describe Violet!  She is keeping me busy!!  Love the little thing to death and so blessed to have her as a daughter.  She gives the best hugs and loves her sis!  We celebrated at Monkey Joe's with a chocolate princess cake and candles.  I love how she keeps it simple.  

Hope you get a feel for her from these pics!

PJ day for V!

Here is Viley ready for PJ day at school!

quick trip to PG

We traveled to PG in Jan for the weekend for Kathryn's Baptism.  It was a special day to be a part of in my niece and extended family.  I pray she grows to love Jesus and feel special because she is his child.  Enjoy the pics from her special day.  (I admit, I had to switch to "cheat mode" for a few!)

Snow day and BCS!

Kick off 

2nd quarter

By half time, they were all out!

We were able to enjoy another snow!  Finally, the girls look and stayed warm!!  Bella loves being out and Weezie is a wimp!

With the snow came NO SCHOOL for 3 days!  We let the girls stay up to watch the game and you can tell they really enjoyed it! haha  War EAGLE!

(also, these were all taken manuel, no flash)

Back to school!

Finally, after years of wanting to, I'm talking photography classes!  Saturday was my first day and it was interesting to back in a learning mode!  I will now be taking all my pics in manual mode- no more instant!  haha!  Here is one of my homeplay projects...notice the tree and fence not in focus and then infocus?!  Okay, I'll get better!  

New Year!

The girls started out 2011 with breakfast in bed.  This is a first and once we told them we realized we really weren't prepared!  Oh well, we improvised!  They thought it was so fun and giggled!  

Our neighbors invited us down to decorate ginger trains for the afternoon.  We always have fun with them!

Our tree before we took it down- always a sad day for me!

SNOW pics!

So fun to wake up to this!

Bella spent most of the day out chasing squirrels!

This is how we spent the day after Christmas! It was a blast!!
