Some photos...........and ramblings..........and completely pointless things.......

Hello!
Okay, I'm back! *cough* With some pictures! Go too my other blog to see my Thanksgiving post...but here are some photos I took the other day...............enjoy!

We have this little book-each Thanksgiving, everyone
writes in it what they are thankful for! There is a lot
of  stuff to be thankful for in this book!

Here is a close up......

What's the best of waking up? Well, this isn't Folgers,
but it's coffee!:)

My mom recently had my grandfather over-she wanted this
old ladder she had hung-he hung it from the ceiling over the
supper table-then, using three old Mason Jars,
they turned them into lights, hung them in between
the rungs of the ladder and then wound white Christmas
lights all around the ladder and then wrapped some Christmas
greens around! I think it is soo pretty when we leave
the Christmas lights on at light!

Another one of those beautiful lights......kind of like
any early Christmas tree!

This isn't exactly a sunset, but I think it is just as gorgeous!

This is a trail right by our house leading back
into the woods-you can hike up the mountain
on that trail-we did last summer!

This is our huge, beautiful old maple tree. It is beautiful,
and we can always depend on it for maple syrup in
sap season....or whatever it's called:)

I love when the sky is like that.......
cloudy blue.....with wisps of cloud
and streaks of grey.......

It's getting too cold to lie down on the ground and
get nice tree shots anymore!!




Well, those were my pictures! I hope you enjoyed them!

Thanks for looking at my blog!

A Year in Photo-2007

Hello!
OK, gotta make this quick  since we're starting school soon:P I am back with another year in photo-this time, it's 2007! Without further ado,I present to you..........................2007!

That is Anna and Ethan-you know those burp cloths you
use for babies? Anna carried one of those around for years
and called it her Burpy-Ethan had a knitted blanket
that he carried around for years and called his ufa.
Ufa is in pretty bad shape now, he slept with it and pulled
the strings and made holes........;)

That was the year when the ceiling of the family room had not been
put in yet!

This is Aaron and Mom-Thanksgiving
at Grammy's house!

That was the year that we realized that we could grab
Dad and tickle him too!

Christmas at Nana and Poppy's house!

Poppy and Anna among a flood of presents:)

Dying Easter eggs!

Ethan's 3rd birthday!

His cake was so cool! It's a muddy car cake!

Apple picking!

Going down the lane.........

Where'd they go?

Coming back up the lane!

Aaron always picked up all the apples from the ground.

And I'll wrap this up by saying "Happy Halloween!"
Ethan up top is a pumpkin, Anna and I are China
girls, Aaron is fresh lemon and that girl on the end, her name is
Sofia Milo and she has been Ethan's girlfriend since they were both 3:)

Lots and Lots of Owen.

Hello!
I'm stuck a home here-sick, again! This time, it's everyone with hand-foot-mouth sickness which gives you spots and sores all over you body:P So, I'll take advantage of that and do a blog post! In the past few weeks, I have done two photo shoots with Owen(I am going to try to do some of all my siblings) and I would like to share some of my favorites with you:) Did I mention he is three years old now?!? His birthday was October 9-he is SO big!!

You can't make me smile........

Well, maybe just one.

You can't get me- na-na-na-boo-boo.

Crinkle face!!!

We'll wrap up this first photo shoot with my favorite shot:)

Photo Shoot #2- We have this little Fisher Price harmonica-
he loves it and of course it had to be in the picture:)

So..........what's up?

Don't you always get a picture like this in a photo shoot?
No matter how hard you try to get everything perfect!

Laugh!!!!

Ummm........big spider on the wall....can't really look at you!

Then he also had a toy airplane and that is his elephant in
his lap:)

Oh, in case you were wondering, that's a little scab on his nose-
he keeps picking at it!

Another airplane one:)

Phew! That was a lotta pictures! I hope you enjoyed them!
