growing up

tonight was abby's class musical, ironically titled get up and grow. i must be feeding my kids too well cause they have been doing a lot of growing lately. (brace yourself mom and dad)

it had been awhile since i got the girls together for pics...and of course there is no better time than when you have a new camera:) so i had to break that baby in right!

can you tell my kids were born and raised with a camera in their face. they are not shy. i actually had to stop shooting them cause they had used up my entire memory card.

take another mommy...just one more....

ok i promise this is the last one mommy...

bwhaaa...boy do we really have her fooled!!

this would be the money shot. thanks kiddos. thanks for growing up on me when i was busy washing dishes and tucking you in at night. thanks for making me wonder where all these past years have gone. thanks for making me feel that much older. thanks for being simply amazing.

this is what happens...

when your baby grows up and no longer wants her picture taken :(

it ok...i will still take them...she will just look goofy in them:) bwhaaa!

2 can play this game:)

china photos

just been in the mood lately to catch up on photos i have yet to edit. so i started working on pics from my trip to china. little different editing style with these...but i really like it.

and of course this one is my favorite of all. i think it will be finding a place on my wall very soon :)

yard sale celebrities

you just never know whose gonna stop by and visit during a yard sale....yesterday we had ella montana drop in...she really worked the customers well, offered to take pics and sold some things too! bwhaaaa!

walking home

my and my girls walk home from school everyday we can. we live about a mile from the school and its a nice time for them to share their day with me and defuse if needed. the trees on our walk bloomed this week, so here is a shot with one of the trees. sorry its so grainy, i shot it with my phone.

on an exciting front....i ordered a NEW camera last night! woohoo! i am ready to move up and need more capability...so look forward to lots more pics coming soon!
