another flower girl

So, I did not get as many pictures of Anya being a flower girl as I did of Kyria; but she was BEAUTIFUL and did a FABULOUS job!! When the bride gets the photos, I will have to ask her for some of Anya actually in the wedding.

with the bride {who was also gorgeous!}

Mikalah in the foyer... we were there for hours. lol

Kyria brought a book...

 {and she also saw the lady whose wedding she was in... 3 years ago!!}

thanks for stopping by!

Corban is **1**

like.... a MONTH AGO!! :)

Kyria made him a banner...

She traced a store-bought one we had with a bow in the middle and made her own monkey!! Some of the letters are backwards because she traced them "right" but then did not want the pencil marks to show. So she turned them over. :)

"SMILE!" yes, I can do that!

really??? I have spaghetti all over my mouth?!?

playing on the iPad

Spring 2011. {school picture & seasonal update}

Dont faint! I'm posting something {smiles}

Kryia Esther - first grade

My cutie pie! We are staying busy, busy, busy. and we have many pictures I could post, but they are all still on our camera. WOW. ok. that's not a good thing, but that's the way it is. I am purging 'stuff' and rearranging furniture {small stuff, hubby will move beds when the time comes!} in preparation for adding another blessing to our household. So, at the moment, there are piles here and there and bags to donate and bags to throw out. It is an unorganized chaos that apparently only I know how to right- haha. Baby boy is progressing nicely and getting bigger. You can kinda see my belly in our valentine photo.

John & Tascha - Valentines 2011

We have soil turned for our garden and seeds planted in starter boxes. We do still have 2 other little girlies- {grin} but as I said before, photos are still on the camera! They are growing like crazy, and Mikalah's pronunciation is getting clearer each day. She and Anya both have quite the imagination and can entertain themselves beautifully. And sometimes they even play together beautifully! I can hardly believe Anya will be **4** in 3 weeks, and Kyria will be ***7*** in just over a month! Where does time go?  Saturday will mark exactly 3 months left until my due date, and I hope to have more pictures posted before that! 

Piles are beckoning my organization... I can seriously hear them calling.

togetherness...

well.. that's us :)

been a couple days for the fur --LOL

FREEDOM!!

Let's GO!!

I love being outside!!

it is OH so fun...

let's go backwards :)

MY man... again!

Big helper!

and BIGGER helper!!

being SILLY!!

more helping...

sweet baby.... set free :D

more being silly...

John trimmed the trees on the side of our driveway. The girls helped dispose of the limbs. Mikalah gets so excited to be outside! It was a bit overcast but not too cool today. We are now all clean and I (mommy) am READY for bed! :D though we still have about an hour before we begin devotions. Don't you just love Kyria's outfit!!?? The only day I pick her clothes is Sunday; and the only time I insist she match somewhat is for school. For any other occasion - being at home, going to a friends house or the store - she can wear whatever her little heart fancies! Some of her combos have actually hurt my eyes (this one did at first) ... but I lOvE to see what she comes up with !!!

I pray you all had a blessed Thanksgiving day, weekend and start of the "holiday season"....
