      Mckenzie got a phone call from a friend in NJ today and she was over the moon to hear from her little friend. She looked so grown up chatting away that I knew I just needed to snap a photo of this.

      Using the iPad to do a little reading tonight.     Reading “I Like Bugs” to Daddy. It is one of her favorite books right now and the best part is she can read the entire thing!

      The little man does not like to be gated in anywhere and this was his attempt at begging me to let him out. It didn’t work. In fact, he probably had to hang out behind the gate amongst his toys even longer so I could snap a photo 😉 If I don’t have the…

    Cooper turned 8 months old today! I can’t believe how quickly the time has flown. He is pulling up and cruising along furniture. He doesn’t like to sit still, preferring to crawl or stand (holding on to something). He still doesn’t sleep through the night, although that may have more to do with me not…

      Scott returned from his hunting trip and said he had a great time. I’m not sure what is so great about being outside in the freezing cold, but for some strange reason, he loves it! I am trying to challenge myself with using different lighting around the house. I have a tendency to shoot…

      She looked so peaceful sleeping in my bed this morning that I had to snap a quick photo. (I was going to get one of her sister as well, but she is an early riser and gets me up if the boy hasn’t already done so 🙂 ) It’s too bad that she wasn’t…

      I was a lucky mama to witness a fashion show in my very own home today, on my bed, nonetheless.  The girls dressed up, put on make-up and perfume and had their nails painted. Abby did her own for the first time and I could tell she felt like such a big girl. Mckenzie…

    I stepped out of the room to check on Mckenzie while I was feeding Cooper breakfast, and this is what I came back to. My little mama’s helper was busy feeding her brother. She was doing a great job at it so I let her finish 🙂   I love how hard she is concentrating…

    The girls had early dismissal from school again today because of parent/teacher conferences so we had extra time to play. Abby decided she wanted to make a grocery store, so she made a sign, stocked her store and ran it with a strictness that probably wouldn’t be good for business in the real world (think,…

    Dakota was a bit sad she didn’t get to go hunting with Scott today. She was pacing around and following him everywhere he went until he left.  I know Scott wishes he could have taken her, but unfortunately, she isn’t much of a hunting dog. The only time she has ever gone out, she was…
