April 25 - Day 115

A birthday party for Morgan with all of our family!

Hamburgers and hot dogs (which Chloe roasted bun ketchup and all after it was grilled)

S'mores, blueberry shortbread and presents

Thanks for sharing the special time with us fam!

(we missed those of you who are far away)

April 24 - Day 114

I laughed out loud when I saw him sorting his marshmallows into lines by color.

It tells me that he is mine...really mine...

because I have a quirky habit of making color patterns with my candy in the palm of my hand...

gummy bears, skittles, jelly beans, smarties...

I am glad he does it too.

There is a special place under the crib where two little girls
(and their dog...and sometimes their brother) love to hide.
They read books, sing songs, try on each others shoes, play princesses and tell secrets,
and it warms my heart to know that they have a special place.

April 22 - Day 112

Is there anything more beautiful and moving than witnessing growth?

I think this is why motherhood is such a sweet job.

April 21 - Day 111

A happy, rainy, fun-filled birthday!
Taco lunch wth dad, a pirate ship, volcano car track, cowboy gun,
wii game, leapster game and lots of fun!
We are so glad Morgan was born...the past 5 years have been a blast!

April 20 - Day 110

"Tonight I am going to go to sleep little and when I wake up I will be all grown up!"

-Morgan

Sidenote...got a new camera lens...LOVE it!

April 19 - Day 109

This little one would be totally content to sit in this police car all day long.

April 18 - Day 108

The kids were playing in the yard before church.
I looked out the back door, left open for kids and dog to go in and out, and saw this.

And it made my heart sing.

I love spring, I love sunshine, I love my family, I love my backyard, I love Sundays!

This is my little brother.

He graduates from college this semester.

He is amazing and wonderful in so many ways!

Love you!

April 12 - Day 102

What, you don't have this on your ipod?

(and yes...this is not an ipod, it is a zune...I live in the dark ages, I know)

Every time it comes on, my kids sing it at the top of their lungs.

Even Brynn rocks out to it.

April 11 - Day 101

I love her

a little bit more.

watermark and copyright

The time has come for copyrighted and watermarked photos.

Sadly many people steal photos and since I now do photography professionally, I need to protect my work, even the every day/not professional quality/just a little slice of our life pictures. From here on out, you will find a watermark on all of the images I upload here.

Just wanted you to know that this is not an advertising ploy, it is just for protection.

Thanks for looking!
