We spent the weekend away from home, with friends… enjoying food, fellowship, swimming, and shopping.
Oh yeah… and the Monster Jam 
. This guy {Nitro Circus} is a home grown Canadian and put on a great show.
The boys were fond of Taz though and made these cute signs at the hotel for the show.
He stole the show when he ended up upside down during freestyle. I have it on video but wasn’t able to share it. Anyone willing to teach me the right way to load videos?
All in all we had a great weekend. What did you do?

I didn’t know if I should title this one: vintage, toes, or tub time but regardless of what I call it I love it.
I took this photo during bath time last night and used Florabella’s Milk & Honey action on it. I was thinking about using Brenda’s Earth Canvas texture also but because this image already has lots of grain I don’t think it needs a texture .

Life has been keeping me busy. So today I’m posting a few random pictures I have been meaning to share.
Alex and Buddy playing on a snowy day.
Ariel working on her history.
Celena enjoying the snow hill in the back yard.
Josiah loving hockey.
Thanks for your prayers… for those of you praying. Though I’m not glad that I have a kidney problem I am glad to that we are moving ahead and it wasn’t all in my head.

I realize I’m not posting often… trying to take a picture every day though . Too many other things are keeping my attention right now so the blog is lagging. Hopefully spring comes quickly!

loves hockey.
He loves to play it by himself. With his big brother.
Or with his dad.
But mostly.. he just loves wearing his hockey jersey. {which he found in his closet the other day and hasn’t been willing to take off since}
And I’m kind of fond him wearing it too .

It was time for a hair cut again and up until now Ariel has always wanted to keep her long hair. This time, though… she decided to cut it off
Here is the before.
Between. {the longest strands are at least 6 inches long}
And the after.
She is really cute with her new do .
Enjoy your weekend.
{I know it’s not weekend but I have an appointment tomorrow morning and it really isn’t worth taking the books out for an hour. We always make up for it the following week by sticking in an extra page here and there.}

We had a great holiday.. just hanging out.
Sorry.. I just couldn’t resist .
This week we are back into our schedules… school, music, work, etc. I started my photography course with Karen Russell on Monday and am having a great time!
Yesterday the kids and I headed to the city to trade Ariel’s 1/4 size violin in for a 1/2 size… she’s growing up.
Have a great week.

I wanted to take a moment on my blog and reflect on this past year. August I decided to jump into the world of photography. What a joy it has been. I have loved every moment I have been given to take pictures for others… and for my own family. Thanks to everyone who has been a part of my first year… it has been a pleasure! I am starting 2010 off by taking a photography course and hope to be back in full swing … better than ever… in spring. {if you have a newborn or are expecting and would like newborn photographs please contact me… I would love to have something to do over the cold winter months 
}.
I will leave you with a couple of pics I took a few weeks back of these two beautiful barns.
Happy New Year… may the Lord bless you richly in 2010!

On my last post I mentioned Christmas traditions…. now you get a sneak peek at Christmas in our house. We tell the kids the night before {Dec 23} to stay in bed until 8:30am… that gives us {the parents} time to shower, dress and put the turkey in the oven before the hub bub of the day.
Then the kids get to come in and rumage through their bowls {which took the place of stockings in our house this year… as was tradition in my growing up years}. Breakfast consists of oranges, nuts, and a treat or two from their bowl.
After breakfast the kids get dressed in their new outfits and share with us their verses and songs. This year the kids memorized the Christmas story from Luke to share with us.
Finally … time for unwrapping gifts .
While the kids enjoy their new toys and daddy helps out with batteries I get our turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy on the table.
We have started a tradition of getting a new family game each year…. this year we replace our well loved/played Guess Who with a new one.
We then spend a very relaxing afternoon enjoying our new toys and finish the evening off with our Christmas program at Church. Christmas day we spent at my parents and Sunday at his parents. The blizzard didn’t keep us from enjoying the holidays with family and friends.
God Bless.
