A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned

We got these piggy banks for Abigail & Caleb shortly after they were born. They love to feed their piggies with loose change and gifts of money they get. Abigail says her is a "pottamus" and Caleb says his is a Hippo.

Our hope is to instill good saving habits...seems we're off to a good start. :)

Got milk?

As in, got anymore milk? This girl would drink milk like this if you would let her. silly girl.

Baby Jeremy Dade

Meet Jeremy Dade (aka: Dade), my great nephew! :) Isn't he the cutest little bundle of preciousness you've ever seen?

Bridge Cuties

Swimming AND Ice Cream.....in February?

Ryan was helping finish up the work on Mona's van so we piled the kids in the car to go swimming at the YMCA again. We met Mona's Mom there, who was taking care of three of her younger grandkids - Joseph, Carter & Kayla. Such cuties! Later we helped get them to dinner, and of course ice cream for desert. :)

Abigail - "close your eyes and mouth like this when you go under?"


Caleb K - "mmmmm, warm water is coming in here"


Hannah - "another picture, again?"


Caleb H - "another picture, again?" :D


Joseph - "this is cool!"


Carter - "oh no, my head is getting wet!"


Kayla - "this stuff splashes everywhere"


Then later, Ice Cream

Yum!


Yummier!

Yummi-o-shis!


Yummatistic!


Yumalicious!

Random Outside Shots from today, February 7, 2009

There is nothing exciting to take photos of around my house, and for someone who thinks about taking photos all the time, that's a problem. So I turn to my favorite subjects. :)

p.s. Middle of the day light is hard to do.















and for giggles....ummm, where did THIS face come from? I forget WHY she was mad, but MAD she was.

Future Photographer and Photo Editor

OK, they were really just playing a computer game, and Caleb picked up a camera to "snap" a picture of Mommy, but I can dream! :)

Rock On Valentine!

I bought these cute T-shirts for the kids to get some cute Valentine shots. These turned out cute, but the light was too bright in some spots, so we will probably do a retake. (another excuse for me to take more pictures of my favorite subjects). :)

Rock on!







Is this how you make that "Rock On" sign?


"Oh Caleb, you're the coolest!"


"No, no, smile like THIS for your audience!"


"Hey Bay-bee!"


"Cool! Our groupies dig us!"
