Project 365ish

I wanted to do this great project where I took (and posted) pictures every day for a year. This was supposed to give me a few months practice before Baby Girl got here so I would be in the habit of taking daily pictures. I have not done such a great job, but I will post what I have and attempt to carry on! I want to capture some of our day-to-day moments instead of just breaking out the camera at
Christmas, birthdays, etc. I am going to backdate the photos to the date they were actually taken. :)
Today's photo: what our school table looks like most of the time. My kids are addicted to crayons and markers, although they are currently on a marker ban. Landon decorated his nightstand with guns and deer, while Allie colored herself green one day while I was in the bathtub. I knew we were in trouble when I heard her tell Landon, "Look Landon, I'm not white anymore, I'm green!"

Girls' night!

Saturday night I was in the homeland and my sister was nice enough to get together a group of girls from my previous church together to hang out, eat, and talk. We had a fabulous time! My cousin from out-of-state was also able to join us. I miss these ladies!

The nephew's 1st birthday!

My sweet little nephew A and my beautiful sister Lindsey. Brother-in-law was not home from work yet. Isn't the baby so adorable?

camping trip

Ben took the kiddos backyard camping. This included a night swim, followed by sitting by the fire. Only in Houston!

Baking, and cooking, and frying, and sauteeing...

Can you tell what my daughter and I have been up to lately? Making lots of yummy things to eat, that's what. It has been really fun teaching her- she can already crack an egg at age 3!
I knew we had been cooking a lot when she told me (10/5) that "eggs, milk, and sugar, they are precious in His sight." Got a few little themes of the house mixed up!

Allie brought mommy "flowers." They were beautiful!

night with Nikki

Couldn't choose between these two photos:

Allie with her "hair twin" Nikki. A great friend to the whole family, but especially Mama! :)



Not sure what Landon was doing here, but it sure was funny.

Mrs. Rita

My kids love their teacher, Mrs. Rita. She is such a sweetheart. Of course, this picture was taken the day Landon told her some not-nice things and had to get in trouble when he got home. But overall, they love her!
