Outside again!

Celebrating the end of the year accomplishments from Awana.

 Kick that ball!

 Team huddle... "I believe that we will win!"

Playing with friends. Boys, boys, boys! My yard is always full of boys!

Little Ray of Sunshine

A little outfit I made for Miss Smiley-Pants. She was very happy to pose for the picture.

 Big girl got a princess helmet. She actually goes pretty fast on the scooter. I run behind her saying slow down!

 The Elmo cake returns. What is it with 2 year olds and Elmo? Without any prompting or watching the show she fell in love with the Elmo doll, so then we introduced her to the show. She always asks to watch Elmo now.

 Hanging out with Gana watching big brother's game.

 Daddy's little girl!

Over the Winter

There was snow. They played in it. I stayed inside except to snap a picture.

 They love their baby sister.

 Uncle K and the cousins are so much fun!

Homeschool

And we're homeschooling! Never thought I'd be saying that. We're about 2 months in now and haven't raised the white flag of surrender yet.  We have good days and bad days, but that's life!

Here is Mr. P... he picked the same thing to be as big brother... he loves his big bro!

 Growing, growing, growing...

 And here's Ms. Fireball! Oh my goodness... she has such a little personality already.  We have our hands full with this one!

 Little sister thought she needed to join in the school fun.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

A few months later the pictures have made it out of the camera! Baby girl had a great birthday!

 Her outfit coordinated with the wrapping paper.

Here is your cake baby girl!

 Fingers reaching in from both sides!

 Sweet girl!

9 months old!

She's growing. 2 full teeth on the bottom. 2 coming through up top. She does not want to sit still for a photo shoot! Blurry:

 More in focus, but not as smily:

 Me holding the camera up in the air hoping she was in the picture as she climbed on me trying to grab the camera... love her eyes!

 She can't move as fast when she's standing up.. She's pulling up and cruising around things now. Won't be long and she'll be a walker.  It's going too fast this time!

 She is soooooooo sweet. We can't get enough of this adorable face!

Scrunch Face

Our little lady has recently started smiling in a familiar way... This is S when he was a baby... scrunch face:

 And this is our little lady scrunch face:

And here he is 6 years later... playing with his remote control helicopter while I try out my new camera lens:

Many unfocused pictures coming in the next few years as I clumsily learn how to operate something manual instead of automatic :)

Catching Up. Again.

Here are the cuties from Halloween. Mario. Captain America. and Cabbage Patch Cutie.

 Being Silly.

 An attempt at a Christmas picture... oh well!

 Posing. They are growing up too fast.

 Another attempt to get all 3 looking at the camera and smiling :)  Can't say we didn't try!

 With Great-Grandpa and Gigi at Christmas!

Dedication

Dedicating to teach our daughter the gospel and train her up in it :)

 Look at the brothers! They DO love each other!!!

 Our pretty little girl!

5 months old!

5 months old!

 New texture! Grass!

4 months

4 month old picture! 

 The boys with their styled hair.

 This is the new smile for pictures... mouth wide open... still 4 months here.

 This was my favorite one... too bad there was user error with the camera and she's out of focus!  She's still beautiful!
