Finally!

2011-05-21T17:46:00.000-07:00

A full day to play outside without RAIN or winter gear needed from the crazy extreme coldness.

Prince Charming

2011-05-20T17:27:00.000-07:00

Girls came running to tell me "Prince Charming" is in our back yard as they lead me to him they are squealing & giggling like no other.

Some of my favorite spring scents

2011-05-20T09:44:00.001-07:00

Fresh linen & lilacs

Already looking better

2011-05-19T19:16:00.000-07:00

My newest find.

2011-05-19T19:08:00.000-07:00

All I can say is thank goodness for primer & paint! When I am done with this piece you will not recognize it.

2011-05-19T19:06:00.000-07:00

Maybe this is like the equivalent of a four leaf clover?!

Yucky crud bugs

2011-03-30T16:10:00.000-07:00

We have been a house full of sickness for almost 2 weeks so ready to say goodbye to all these yucky crud bugs! BLAH

Last weeks bike ride.

2011-03-26T08:27:00.001-07:00

One lucky mommy! To get such sweets gifts made with love just for me!

2011-03-23T13:08:00.001-07:00

Some crafty ideas brewing!

2011-03-23T12:27:00.001-07:00

It's OK to be different!

2011-03-23T12:11:00.001-07:00

Never know what I will find in the girls' backpacks this one blew me away!

Skiing

2011-03-18T12:37:00.000-07:00

Sunday we headed out the door at 4:30am for a 4hr drive to go skiing/snowboarding. What an awesome day spent on the slopes with family. Girls did so well after only a few runs down the bunny hill that we ended up on the big hills and ski lifts for the remainder of our time there. I could not believe how fast the girls were able to pick up snowboarding. This definitely had to be one of my top days out as a family having fun. No more wasting money renting boards for the girls as they both have proved they can do it & love it. ** Insert happy momma dance** and some squeals

5K

2011-03-18T12:29:00.000-07:00

St Patty's Day Headbands

2011-03-10T07:57:00.001-08:00

Next time you see these they will have some flair.

2011-03-09T07:48:00.001-08:00

No sew easy to make skirts

2011-03-09T07:06:00.000-08:00

Easy to make.

2011-03-09T05:54:00.001-08:00

The two skirts in the post below are super duper easy to make. Not kidding! Oh, how I love my hot glue gun....told you it was super easy! I will post some more pictures today on how I did each step. You can see with your own eyes how easy it really is! I did not sew these skirts...you can only wear them this time of year so I did not bother to sew them together more than likely they would not fit the girls next yr if they get a couple wears out of them it's fine by me. Both skirts were made for under $6.00 if I do the math correctly that would be $3.00 each....cheap & easy another bonus!

Ready for St Patty's Day.

2011-03-09T05:53:00.001-08:00

Two skirts

2011-03-08T18:28:00.000-08:00

Are ready for two girls to complete this funky green ensemble. I was able to finish both skirts in no time at all. I like those kinds of fun projects. No sewing was involved, makes me like this project even more. When they were finished the 7yr old said I should be an fashion designer bless her heart. As long as the girls like it thats all that matters! Pictures tomorrow, I am too tired to load them up tonight.

A little sneak peek!

2011-03-08T12:55:00.001-08:00

St Patty's Day

2011-03-08T12:34:00.000-08:00

Last year for St Patty's Day we made fun little festive pants. This year we are making cute little festive skirts. I almost have one completed just a couple more finishing touches and I will post some pictures of it. The best part it requires no sewing! Gotta love that.

A fun time skiing

2011-03-07T15:10:00.000-08:00

We had a fun time skiing. Girls were able to learn how to ski pretty darn fast. I was super duper impressed with their quick learning maneuvers. Me on the other hand had only skied one other time in my life and that was 2 weeks ago. We were a family of newbies. I think we all did pretty darn good for being new to this sport! No broken bones...means a successful weekend on the slopes!

A fun weekend.

2011-03-01T08:34:00.000-08:00

Such a strong willed girl...

2011-03-01T08:08:00.000-08:00

I have never saw such a strong willed kid. She amazes me with her love to learn new things.

Such a happy girl...

2011-03-01T07:55:00.000-08:00

One of the most passive & happy kids I have ever met.

Avery's fabulous find

2011-02-27T20:05:00.000-08:00

Grandma K had sent the girls a Valentines card with $5 inside. You would have thought it was Christmas morning when she spotted these out thrifting. Price tag $3.99 at checkout realized they were half off! Way to score & still have some money left for future finds!

Made with love...

2011-02-27T19:41:00.000-08:00

What could be more cute than monkeys in tutu's?!

What a day!

2011-02-26T20:00:00.001-08:00

We played from morning till night!

Breakfast is served.

Enjoying our Mid-Winter Break...

2011-02-21T12:03:00.000-08:00

Girls are on their Mid-Winter Break! As of 3pm yesterday we had no snow...by 4pm it started snowing like no ones business! We got so excited we could hardly stand it! When we woke up this morning and saw about 12 inches of this fluffy stuff we knew exactly what we needed to do! Head out to the local sledding hill!

I love making stuff

2011-02-20T16:43:00.000-08:00

Whether it's crafting with my hot glue gun or pulling out my paint brushes. I love making stuff. Makes me feel happy & content. I am always looking for things to turn into other things. Did I just lose you? What I mean is that I can see something that sometimes others can't!

So excited!

2011-02-20T16:23:00.000-08:00

While out thrifting recently I found these two tables. I cannot wait to put them to good use. I almost wished they would have had three of them! Not even kidding! I want one for my very own crafting table. Then I want one for the girls' playroom & the laundry room...slight problem thats two more rooms & only one more table...decisions, decisions! I was thinking if one goes in the playroom maybe we could ad sand into the top and they could play for hrs with all their dinosaurs. Yes! My girls adore dinosaurs and Yes, I just mentioned sand. Thats all they asked for from Santa last yr. How cool would it be to have their very own dino-land! I was also thinking one could be used in the laundry room as a folding center & on the shelves underneath baskets for organizing our dirty clothes. I almost forgot I will be painting these.

I surprised the girls with a little spa-day (at home) they loved every minute of it!

2011-02-20T12:17:00.000-08:00

So many neat things to share

2011-02-20T12:00:00.000-08:00

Not sure where I wanted this blog to go? Do I want it to be solely pictures? Just about my photography? About my family? The dog? Crafts? Painting? My daily adventures? I am still not sure?! For now I will post about things that are happening in my life...which may include the good, bad & ugly. OK! Hopefully not many of the last two. Here we go let the adventures begin.

That time of year

2011-02-20T11:52:00.000-08:00

When you are hoping for no more snow or want one last winter blast to get in any outdoor activities you may have missed. Which brings me to wanting another good winter blast (sorry) we have plans to go skiing in 2 weeks & I want it to be the best possible weather....that means we need more snow. We did get to enjoy 3 days of almost 60 degrees I won't lie it was awesome. Old Man Winter one more blast....PLEASE!

My bloggy where have you been?

2010-06-27T16:03:00.000-07:00

I have neglected you for so long you are covered with cobwebs & dust bunny's! I have so many updates to share...oh where do I begin?

Well....she did have eye's until our dog ran off with them! I know better next time not to use Ritz crackers!

Celebrating 100's day!

2010-02-22T18:52:00.001-08:00

Last week at school they celebrated 100's day on the 100th day of school! They had tons of fun filled activities all geared around counting to 100. If you look closely at Miss Avery's necklace I think she sampled a few of the fruity blue rings!

Love is...

Can you say future X Games!

2010-02-19T18:58:00.000-08:00

This kid is amazing, he just turned 2 in January and can already snowboard! Look at that face!

Taking a little break....

2010-02-19T18:54:00.000-08:00

Enjoying a little break after many runs down the hill.

Sisters...

2010-02-19T14:52:00.001-08:00

Having fun sledding with my sister. She screamed the whole way down the hill ; )

Sunset in February in Muskegon, Mi along Lake Michigan's amazing shoreline.

Winter bike ride

2010-02-18T17:17:00.000-08:00

Today was beautiful outside, for Michigan in February! We bundled up and went out for a nice ten mile ride. This was the first time I had the tag-a-long hooked to my bike lets just say it was a nice leg burning experience.

Finding time....

2010-02-18T17:12:00.000-08:00

I really need to find more time to add to my blog. Seems like whenever I try something else comes up then the blog gets neglected! I like how I have saw on some blogs they have committed to a picture a day for a year! I would love to do that....who am I kidding!

Cancer

2010-02-07T19:15:00.000-08:00

Deep in thought...

2010-01-12T15:03:00.001-08:00

When Avery is deep in thought I could just stare at her forever! I think she has the most beautiful deep soulful eyes!

It's a dogs life.....woof woof!

2010-01-12T14:31:00.000-08:00

Love is....BEAUTIFUL!

Today while eating lunch Little Miss Meilee informed us she wants to be a Paramedic! I had taken some pictures earlier this past spring with an old Kodak camera. Not the best quality...still cute!

Those are some pretty big shoes to fill. One day I want to be just like you! You are my hero! XOXO Meilee

Snow....finally!

2009-12-01T14:58:00.000-08:00

I gave my dogie the worlds worst haircut not long ago! I decided to give her her very own dogie photo shoot to make up for my lack of dogie hair cutting skills! We will need to hide the pictures from her for awhile yet until her hair grows back in some more! Sorry Bella!

2009-11-28T20:52:00.000-08:00

Sweetness

Precious face

2009-11-18T18:41:00.000-08:00

I don't know what it is but I love her face in this picture. She is in her own little world with her own little thoughts what a precious little face.

Love this picture!

2009-11-17T13:11:00.000-08:00

A rose still blooming in Michigan in October?! Avery girl sure didn't waste any time taking a moment to stop and smell the roses.

I did not forget about you!

2009-11-16T16:48:00.000-08:00

I know its been some time since I posted on here. Man I have been busy. Dealing with some strange new allergy issues that have me swelling, tingling, itching, and wanting to crawl right out of my own skin! Hopefully after seeing the Specialist on wed we can figure out what is causing this crazy madness. No matter what I eat or drink it seems to get the best of me....sigh! It ALL started while out of town on a business trip. Got into town late in the evening, got settled into the hotel room had to run to the store for a few last minute items for the expo, did a quick drive through at Mickey D's ordered a snack wrap....within just a few minutes my body went into a tail spin. Hours later I was in the ER with iv's and tons of meds pumped into me to get the swelling to come down. My new best friend is Ben(dryl) he is not so reliable as he still lets me swell up and tingle....come wed you my friend will be traded in for something stronger & more reliable. Hey, a girl has to do what a girl has to do ; )

Hocus Pocus...

2009-11-01T18:37:00.000-08:00

Oh where is my magic wand? I have so much to do this week, and two little sick girls. We have a HUGE project we are working on for this coming up weekend. One of the largest mountain bike races in the country "The Iceman" Lots to do to prepare for filming this race........GULP!

Avery's fall photos

2009-10-31T10:44:00.000-07:00

There is something about her eyes that just captivates me...

Meilee's fall photos

2009-10-31T10:15:00.000-07:00

Something about her smile that warms your heart...

2009-10-30T10:51:00.000-07:00

Hoping for a beautiful day for all the kids to go out trick-or-treating tomorrow, not that often we can enjoy a Saturday Halloween.

My Little Lady Bug...

2009-10-30T10:47:00.000-07:00

How cute is this little bug? If you notice her dots on the body of her costume are hearts, I had to match up the dots on her little face to match as well!

One old pillow case & some gauze..

2009-10-30T10:40:00.000-07:00

Equal a very cute Mummy Girl! By the time this picture was taken her make-up was beginning to fade...away! Look at the cuteness of the pig tails poking through the head wrap...love it! I just know she was saying " I LOVE MY MUMMY!"

Only one picture from Meilee's party...

2009-10-29T12:40:00.000-07:00

Only one picture from Meilee's party today.

Arrived at school to find a sad quiet & sick little girl...poor thing. We only lasted 10 minutes. Homeward bound we went.

Gorgeous day...

2009-10-28T18:14:00.000-07:00

Wow! Was it gorgeous out today, what a nice surprise to have the sun shinning and it warm out too. I had not taken pictures of my girls yet this fall, it was totally unplanned, as soon as the bus dropped each one off we did an impromptu shoot! Can't wait to get them up to share with everyone.

I really have a lot to do....

2009-10-28T09:09:00.000-07:00

I really have a lot to do..... Why can't I grasp the new hosting site that I am looking into to host my pictures?! Trust me, I have spent hours on it...and have got no where except more frustrated....now it's come down to me verses this new site and I will not let it defeat me!

2009-10-26T19:03:00.000-07:00

I love what I do, I do what I love.

2009-10-26T16:12:00.000-07:00

I'm trying & learning many new things and my head is spinning......it's a good spin I think!?! No, it really is, I want to know all of it now....I don't want to wait!
