Being silly

Just plain cute

I joined a group the is doing Project 365. It is a project that encourages you to take a photo a day. I am starting February 1st but since I take a lot of pictures I tried to pick one a day since January 1. Here are a few pictures I chose for the project. I'll keep posting throughout the year. Hope you enjoy!

My baby is a big boy

Today Tanner attended children's church for the first time. He has finally outgrown the nursery and now attends class with the big kids. Okay, I can handle this. What caught me off guard was that I now was the mother of a hot chocolate drinker. In between church and sunday school we have a short coffee time. Looking around, you will notice adults with coffee and donuts and kids carrying around there little cups of hot chocolate. I now have a boy big enough to carry around a cup of hot chocolate in church! I don't know why this event stuck me. Maybe it's because I remember drinking hot chocolate in the same church when I was younger. I can't help but smile at his little face covered in chocolate donut and hot chocolate! I only wish I'd had my camera with me!

Scrapbook pages

Here are a few recent pages I've scraped. I have found new inspiration from a designer...TaylorMade. I follow her blog so feel free to click her link and then looked at her personal scrapbook pages. They are beautiful and a little different from the traditional scrapbook pages. I started the second course from jessicasprague.com and am learning a lot. Anyone interested in learning the secrets to photoshop should take her class! Enjoy the photos!

6 month old comparison

Parker will be 6months old next week so I thought I'd post 6 month pictures of both of them. I've been going through pictures and have noticed that Tanner was sitting up by now. Parker is really close and can sit up for 10-15 seconds but is not near as steady as Tanner was at 6 months. Don't they have the cutest little noses?

Just the kids

Here are a few pictures of the kids from last week. They are getting bigger every day!


Tanner was "pretending" it was his birthday...he just wanted a candle on his cupcake!
Parker is so close to sitting up on her own. Right now she has mastered leaning over!

Our sweet little babies...

The Honesty of a Three Year Old

This morning Tanner was playing with his toys in the living room and I had turned PBS on. Curious George had been playing and Tanner was entertaining himself with his coloring books. A few minutues later, Tanner comes looking for me. With a speed and enthusiasm which only Tanner can manage, he starts describing a new show that had just come on. After a big presentation, he stops and calmly asks me "Is that a nice show Mom?" Trying not to laugh over the sudden seriousness of his question I asked him if he needed me to come and see if it was a "nice show" or not. Pulling me by the hand, I go "check" the show and give him my approval. Happily, he goes back to his coloring/show watching. I couldn't help but be proud of him since there are shows that we say are "not a nice show". He could have continued watching and never questioned it, but he wanted to make sure I thought it was okay. Of course, on PBS there wasn't anything to worry about.

Parker telling Zack a secret

This is baby Zachary...Rach's little boy...a big boy!

This is my third post tonight only because it's been a busy few days. I thought Abby would want to see pictures of tonights get-together since she wasn't able to by there. We missed you and the kids!..and Shane too..:)
