Fishing

If fishing is judged by the amount of family time together, we were successful.

One of the best parts of camping

Friendship bracelets. Lots and lots of bracelets.

Show Stopper

Maybe it is her competitive nature. Maybe it is because she has been playing on teams since she was three. Or maybe it is because of her mother, but this girl is one STELLAR athlete!!!

I was a part of a successful neighborhood league created for me and my neighbors that just recently ended.

I got goosebumps watching this girl play. Amazing.

Homework Overload

After a long homework session, I secretly began video tapping Raea to later show her how crazy she had gotten. I love her.



(We later found out her teacher did NOT want her to reduce fractions yet. It was a new concept to learn later.)

Penguin Night

"Why don't you want to go to Antarctica?

"It doesn't support life well. It is too cold. I would surely die!"

Nap Time

If you look through any of my photo collections, you are bound to see several pictures of sleeping babies. Nothing is more precious to me than a sleeping child.

Welcome for the winter

I always think it is funny to find ducks in our pool.

Second time around

Just waiting for my baby. Kissed him goodbye a couple minutes ago. We are optimistic.

My Boys

Worried because it was getting late, I went downstairs to wake up Ethan. (They do so much better without an alarm clock.)

Much to my happiness, I came upon story time.

Love them all.
