I like this one too. One day we'll have some great shot of what seems of the vast flat landscape of Twin Falls. But in the mean time, this one is pretty darn cute. Esp with all those people that I love in it with me. :)

How do YOU say Jello?

Learning to say every word can be so much fun! :) This is hilarious to me!! :)

Shout out to my friend Burgandy Keel on the Biggest Looser!

You are Inspiring Girl!

How do I know Burgandy? She is my old Bakers Shoes boss, Chris Keel's, wife. They might be the best people on this planet! :) We kept in touch for a few years after Bakers Shoes, but you know Facebook.

Professional Family Photo

I am weird and when I see a picture of friends or family, I want to see them as close up as possible. :) Maybe has to do with closing the gap of the distance. Who knows. I couldnt figure out how to let you see the pics close up with out having them small and then have you click on it. Weird, but there it is. I loved the pics and the session . :)

Some friends have been asking... so I'll tell. I made Bea's tutu and Charlottes dress. Then the day of the pictures I noticed Addy's outfit would not work, so I made her black shirt out of one of my old ones. It worked out great!

family photos... amature style

So what does 14 kids, 6 adults at a farm with 3 cameras going to do with themselfs?

I'll show you what came out of my amature camera.... The proffesionals from Jessica will follow another day soon.

This is our group of great friends!

" ummm... are they summosed to go back there??"

Dang! Almost got her!

Yep, thats a real farm behind them.

We tried to focus on the great parts!

Chris and the kids

OK! We can be done! Oh well...

We have some pretty cute kids at "Joy School" Preschool this year!!

I know all the kids werent here the day we had school, but we had a great day playing and learning! I am so glad there is something for just Beatrice and I to do with her friends as she misses her bros and sisters when they are at school all day.

And I am excited to have a chance to teach these kids. And I am super excited to only do it once week every 2 months. :)

new look

A new look for the girls room anyway!

I was so excited to find these CUTE bedspreads at Target for $14 for each set! Even in these "times of need", how could I pass that up?? :) I say... heck ya! They are the same print, but in the different colors... totally fitting for Bea (blue) and Adeline (pink)! CUTE! And it makes their room look so fun and clean. YAY!!

first tomato!

This is the first of MANY tomatoes! I wish they would ripen up gradually... maybe 5 at a time. BUT! 8 tomato plants all ripen up at the SAME TIME! And this year, I am not pregnant so I cant use the excuse of gagging every time I smell them so I can't can them. Bummer. I have a lot of work ahead of me. CANNING!! :)

WORMS

It's finally raining in Twin Falls!!

Naturally, I thought we should go outside this morning to go look at the worms... because they are ALL over the patio!

You can see by Bea's face that she really doesnt like this idea!

Ad and Char

I couldnt ask for better kids. They all really take care of eachother well. Adeline feels like she never gets enough time with Charlotte.

Just some more cute pics. :)

Dirt

As I have explained before, Beatrice is pretty creative and gets a lot done in a very short amount of time. Looking at her face... yes, well, you get the idea. I couldnt get the girl to keep clothes on and so once the dirt started happening... who cares!

Enjoy baby!

I am already missing those summer days.

"Joy School"

I am alone! :) Ok, so the baby is sleeping.

A few days a week Beatrice gets to go to our neighborhood preschool!

This morning I finally told her about it. I don't think I was ready for all the kids to be gone to school, so I didn't tell Bea about her time away. She barely let me take this picture, let alone any others. She just wanted to get to our friends house! Next week is my turn to teach the kidos! I am really excited too!

Look at how totally cute this girl is!!!

I think we have found the hairdo we are going to use for our family pics!!! :)
