My First TV Dinner

One night while Dave was out of town, I just didn't feel like making a big dinner and then having to eat it for 4 days in left overs...So, I decided to do TV dinners. It was the first time Sarah had had a TV dinner and from the mess on her face, I would say she really got in to it. She LOVED it! I may have to try them again sometime.

Smooth Skin

The other day I was helping Amanda put lotion on after a bath. She was rubbing it into her legs and she commented on how smooth her skin is. I said, "Yes, you have very smooth skin." Then, Amanda reached over her hand, rubbed it on my leg and said..."And, you have old, rough skin." Gee thanks Kid!!!!

Flowers

I went crazy this spring taking pic's of flowers. I thought I would share a few of my favorites with you. Enjoy!

Birthday at McD's and 100th post!

Ahhhh, post number 100! Took long enough to get there. :0) What a great post to hold no. 100...a post about Amanda's 4th bday party. Sorry it's taken so long for me to get it posted. But, atleast it's here now. We had a shared bday with our friend Aden. He turned 3 the day before Amanda turned 4...so, we decided to share a bday at McDonalds. I love having the party there, because I can actually enjoy the party, too. I got to take a ton of pic's that I wouldn't have been able to get if I had to throw the party myself. (as you'll soon see) So, here are the highlights of the party....Enjoy!


The birthday girl. Amanda turns 4...where has the time gone?

This is that little cutie, Aden. I just love his expressions!

Here is little Sarah with her new friend...Pink Bruce. Thank you 'Drama Sandy.

A shot of the loot.

My cousins children...Rachel and Cory.

Aden on the little slide.

Ok, so this is a pic. that Mom wanted and Amanda wasn't too thrilled about....can you tell by the smile? ;0)

The whole crew. Can't believe we got them all to stand still for 2 sec. :0)

Sarah playing the ring toss. That is what is so great also...I didn't have to come up with or supervise the games. Yippee!

Lunch time!

Two full tables. It was difficult taking pic's in here because of all the glare from the windows, but I was pretty happy with most of the pic's. They weren't great, but you could at least tell who everyone is.

Aaahhhh, chicken nuggets. My girls love them.

Corey finding the hidden cotton ball. He's so smart.

Now it's Amanda's turn to play.

Time to blow out the candles. Wonder what she wished for....

Now it's Aden's turn.

I love her expression on opening this package. So much joy.

Amanda loves Dora, so this was a great card to get her.

I like how her little foot is holding up the bag so she can see what's inside.

Looks like another great present!

MMMMMMmmmmm, Cake!

Another Trip to the Park

Here we are at the park again. The girls were really good at letting me take pic's of them. I'm so lucky. Usually they get sick of me pointing the camera at them. But, it was one of the first times in a long time they got to play outside in just a light jacket. It started out pretty warm, but by the time we left, it was VERY cold. I can't wait for the snow to melt in the mtn's. Then, the wind will let up.
Amanda was walking a head of me and just turned around and gave me this great smile.

We actually bought this hat for Amanda in Vegas, but Sarah has adopted it and loves to wear it ALL the time. So cute!

At the park we like to play at they have these great little dino's. The kids love to play on them.

I just couldn't decide between these last two above pic's. Sarah was just too cute!

Sarah was showing something to our friend Ann.

Sarah was kind enough to sit at this tree for me and take a cute little pic.

Amanda put all these on a bench and I decided to try taking a really close up pic. I kind of like the outcome.

Aden loves it when I take pic's of him and ask him to scream for me. They make for some really entertaining pic's.

Oh, here's another pic. of shoes. These are Aden's. I like all the blue.

Look at that little button nose. I just love me girls. Can you tell? :0)

Amanda wanted to give her dog Biscuit a ride on the swing. I thought this would be a fun pic. and I was right. I love it!

The Many Faces Of Sarah

Here I am practicing again with out the flash. Sarah made a great subject on this day. Who could resist taking at least one pic. of that hair! I, of course, took more than one. She really made me giggle with all the dif. faces she was making. Enjoy!
