State Capital Crowd . . .

I was at the State Capital yesterday taking engagement pictures . . . while I was waiting for the couple to arrive I was looking around the building and I noticed something, kinda gross. I looked up and saw A TON of Barn Swallow nests under the newly remodeled building. Check it out! Now I know what these look like because they try and make them on our front porch, but we prevent it . . . BUT WOW . . . there's a lot :)

Pomp Pa and the Grand Babies . . .

Here's a cute picture of "Pomp Pa" (my daddy) and the grandbabies. These two little ladies are only one month apart and they love him. Ohhhhhhhh so cute!

The Twelve . . . Reindeer?????

Ok so the other day I was reading a book 21 DAYS CLOSER TO CHRIST (great read I highly recommend) and there's a picture of Christ walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee. Princess was with me and started to ask who the people were in the pictures (painted by Simon Dewey). So I pointed out Jesus and then there were the fishermen. I turned the page and she said "who is that" . . . I replied, "That's Simon and Andrew" and to that she said "Where's Donner and Blitzen!" HA HA HA . . . apparently we need to work on our church history OR our Christmas Song knowledge. Either way I had a good laugh.

Christmas Post #3

Ok, so my life may not be interesting enough to post three times in one day, but hey, my kids are cute, he he he . . .
Here's the last post for the day and it's Christmas Morning.
Princess got the ever so important "Talking Doll-House" and she knew as quick as she looked under the tree which one it was. Cowgirl got an iPod (which was a total surprise as you can tell by the look on her face, LOVE IT!). As for baby, well just look at her, she got clothes :) She loves the wrapping paper though . . . Hope your holidays were happy and bright!

Christmas Post #2

So at the same party we have a pinata for the little kids and my super BRAVE/CRAZY Father in Law holds it while the kids take a swing/stab at it! There are pictures of him doing this from way back when, what a trooper! The kids went through a couple of times before someone finally broke through (they even had to enlist the "bigger" kids). My little princess got FOUR pieces of candy and thought she was in Heaven, so easily pleased.

Christmas Post #1

Ok, so to catch up for the holidays I may be doing a couple of posts. We started off the holidays with the BIG family party (at the church, yay!) We had family, food and fun, that's what it is all about right!
The kids did the Christmas Nativity and it was so cute, here's the pictures from that

I especially love the "nose-picking" shepherd.
