I sometimes love using this photo effect to make the point of interest pop out.

Emily for her Hawaiian Day at her Camp Liberty, at church.

It was Emily's day to write on our gratitude board.  We do love our pancake Saturday breakfasts!



Picture This...Day 226

Elliot & Emily chose Krispy Kreme donuts for our slumber party treat tonight.  Emily loved watching the donuts go through.  When she saw them falling into the grease, she said "I love watching them get their water bath!" :)

Throw back Thursday - Elliot at age 5 (Sept. 2008) on the day he'd learned to write his name.

Avery, lost in thought as she peers out the window at a Vegas casino.  Probably wishing she was in one of the pools. :)

Avery wanted to wear this mask everywhere for weeks!  She called herself 'Mr. Man'. :)

Beautiful Bird of Paradise

Love this view of Emily & her Lilly sitting beside me during church.

Passed by her room & saw her checking out her wings. :)

Made my coconut granola tonight.  It's Elliot's favorite cereal.

Our sweet Tinkerbell.  She is such a Princess!



Picture This...Day 216

I was going through my photos & found this one that I took 20 years ago.  We'd just gotten a Canon.  This was the 'old fashioned' way - no digital then, so I had to scan this in to share it.

Happy Birthday Shad! 



Picture This...Day 214

Yippee!  Rain in Las Vegas, as we drove down our street.  Only lasted for about 30 minutes, but we enjoyed every moment!

This guy stands in our kitchen holding a chalkboard so that you can post a menu.  Last fall I started having  him hold our family rules, & I love it.

The mailman brought a special surprise to me today from a treasured & sweet friend.  It made my day!  There were special cards in the box, & a gift each, for Elliot & Emily from some little friends too - so sweet & thoughtful!

Emily got a surprise in the mail today.  The retired doll 'Samantha' from the American Girl collection .   She's one very happy little girl!

One of my favorite parts of the day - iced latte with Almond Joy creamer...pure bliss!
