Forgotten Blog

So, as I received an e-mail about someone's blog, I'm remembering that I too once had a blog. Thanks for the "keep me signed in" button I was able to remember my password. It is hard to believe it has been an entire year since I last posted. I'm not making any promises, but I will try to write and post pics on here more often than I have!!

stupid blogger won't let me post pictures right now.

Fall fun

Last weekend we went to my aunt's cabin in Silverthorne. We had a great time just getting away for the weekend. The girls were so excited about going to the mountains. They had a blast running around and playing hide and seek. The weather was nice and cool and it just felt like a beautiful fall weekend. I wanted to capture some of the beauty. The aspens were just beginning to turn.

Two words.....

Bowling balls. OK, I guess three words......OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Missing.....

This post is dedicated to my faithful friend Amber who is probably the only one that actually logs on to check this thing! Sorry it has been so long! So much has been going on....I can't even begin to back track so I will just start over again.

We recently went on a vacation to Missouri to visit my parents and relatives. It was great seeing my parents because I hadn't seen my dad since Jan. and my mom since March. I had an enjoyable time and the weather was awesome! I was dreading MO in the middle of July, but it was in the 70's and low 80's, not too humid and even a bit breezy.

The girls got to go to a county fair and ride some of the kiddie rides. We indulged ourselves on carnival food and made a night of it. The girls also got to ride my uncle's horses. Ella has been into horses so much since she watched the movie "Flicka". Abby did surprisingly well. I think they had the most fun doing that. They got to play all over my grandpa's property in the country, rode the tire swing, and rode bikes.

It is good to be home now and get back into a routine. Unfortunately I had to return to that dreaded place called work. It actually hasn't been too bad to come back to this time. I hope you enjoy the pics and I'll try to keep more updated posts!!!

Happy Belated Easter!

OK, so I'm a few days behind. What can I say? I had every intention of getting some pictures posted in time for Easter, but never got around to doing it until now. I try to keep up with professional pictures as much as I can. I started with high expectations with Ella. Abby came along and I missed her 9 month pics. I've promised myself that I have to at least get as many pictures of Lily as I did of Abby. I have so many pictures I don't even know what to do with them all. It's going to get harder and harder to keep up with all of them and not spend so much money. The girls did pretty well this past week with pictures. Lily surprisingly smiled and Abby didn't so much. I guess I'll take what I can get. 2 out of 3 isn't bad. Hope you all had a Happy Easter!!

Lost Tooth

The toothless smile!

THE tooth, guts and all!

Right after Ella pulled it

Working on it amidst the drama

My baby girl is getting big! Not my little baby, my big baby. Ella has had a loose tooth for a couple of months now. She's been wiggling it every now and then. This morning she showed me how loose it was and I told her it was loose enough to pull. So...we worked and worked at it. The tooth really didn't need a lot of pulling on, most of the work came from convincing Ella to push on it and that the blood wasn't hurting at all. The moment she saw blood the drama began. I left her alone after a while to work on it herself. She then asked me to help her. I gave it a good push and then she did the rest. She was so excited about it! She has a little box that she got as a souvenir from South Dakota a while back. It's actually a tooth fairy box. She has been sleeping with it by her bed for a while in anticipation. She put her tooth in it today and has it under her pillow. Now, just waiting for the tooth fairy.....
