Fun with the camera!

We LOVE our new camera. I love the quality of pictures I can take and Tim loves the fact that he can just snap away using the burst. We could have a video just by him taking pictures! Here are some of my favorites from the last few days.

Glade with his hat. He loves hats!
(Kristina took this one playing with our camera!) Such a sweet boy. Who has suddenly found lots of vocabulary and is talking our ears off.
He even talks to strangers! Everyone is commenting on how much he is talking. Today at Walmart he told the checker "My daddy's at work!"
This boy loves his football. We play catch all the time...even in the house. He is talented, and I'm not just saying that because I am his mom...this boy can throw the ball! We are hoping for a good scholarship and NFL contract...well maybe just a scholarship!
Maybe he will be a kicker!




Then there is my sweet girl. I just love this picture she was running and would say "Watch me run. I running faster!"
Such a cutie! This was on one of the cold days last week. We went outside to get groceries and she wanted to go for a walk. So I grabbed my camera and down the street we went, but not for long. It was COLD!She loves to help me in the kitchen. Here she is putting away the silverware from the dishwasher! I know there will come a day when she won't want to, but I love this! She always comes in the kitchen and with her Texas drawl (we don't know where she gets it) says "I want to help you"
Enjoying the Sprite that Santa left in their stocking.
Here is what I have been doing. I painted the extra bedroom upstairs and made a Reading/TV room. Before this room was my craft room. Then we cleaned that out and moved the baby cribs in because it was going to be a nursery...well maybe someday! (I am praying for it!)
So now, it is our "relaxation room" I love how it turned out. But, cried as we put the baby beds in the attic.

My 200th post!

This is my 200th post so I thought I could do 200 pictures from our new camera. I transferred the 1037 pictures we have taken since getting the camera right before Christmas. I don't think I have the time today to do 200 pictures, but I will give you a sampling of the great pictures we are getting.

Addison in the leaves
Such a cutie I love the new camera...just need to learn the ins and outs of it. The color seems a little off on these.

New "clippers" from Santa

"I got tools!"
Santa came to our house...a little early! Merry Christmas

Playing with the camera

One happy family


It's a mini Timmy!
Silly girl

This girl loves to swing!

Riding the giraffe
He's definitely ALL boy

I could just squeeze him
I know it wasn't 200 pictures, but it was a lot. I will do more later, but I have dinner to get ready. You can't have new year without black eyed peas and cabbage!
Happy 2010!
We are praying God will bless us beyond anything we could ever imagine!

Catching Up

These are just some random pictures of cuteness!

This is Diva Addison in the car. She loves her sunglasses.
Glade loves to wear hats. Here he is in one of Tim's

Glade took a tumble out of his bed the other night. We still aren't sure what he hit his head on. But, I'm pretty sure he won't lean out of his bed to look out the door again!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Glade and Addison got caught licking the frosting!
Just because she is so cute!- and has started refusing to keep her clothes on!

Looking at Lights

Last night we took the kids to look at Christmas Lights. We went to the Deerfield neighborhood in Plano. It's amazing, there are so many lights and fun things to see. We even were greeted my Santa and Mrs. Claus! The kids enjoyed riding in front seat with us to look at the lights. It was a great night to enjoy my family and be reminded of God's blessings in my life!
Mommy and GladeDaddy and Addison

Mommy and Addison- I can't believe how grown up she is looking!

Daddy and Glade- Glade really wanted to help drive!




Mesmerized by all the lights

He was so excited when we first turned in!


Preschool Party

On Thursday Glade and Addison got to enjoy a Christmas Party with their class. I wasn't able to be there, but I heard they had a lot of fun. Glade was even a sweet boy and pulled the chair out for another little girl. His comment about it... "I'm strong!"




Here is just a sweet picture of the kids with their buddy Ryan. He came over with Meredith one night to watch the kids.

Still here, I promise

I promise I haven't forgotten the blog. Glade and Addison spent several days at my parents house the beginning of December. I don't have pictures but will try to get some. We have been busy this December, but things will be slowing down and I will be trying to re-establish some kind of order and routine into our world. First on the list is Potty Training! Today is the last day of preschool for a few weeks and the perfect opportunity to get it done. Say some prayers for us!


Here are some pictures from our Christmas card session.
