Who took my camera????

The other day ago I couldn't find my camera, can you guess who had it last? Yep, Emery has found the photo bug inside and loves to steal my camera and take random photos. I have a whole bunch of this pose. I think it was the push the button and pose shot... Funny girl

Isa and Emery with permission took over the camera another day. These are their funny random shots. I particularly love Colin sitting on Em. That is so his everyday. He is not happy unless he is climbing on something!


Isa was bored with D.E.A.R. (drop everything and read) Time. She decided that reading would be much more exciting in a fort, so with chairs and blankets in hand, she created a nook for a day. What a sweet creative girl!

So I splurged and bought myself some high heel black boots. Em LOVES them. She came down the other day ago looking like this (see below) Her comment? " Mom aren't I sassy!" Yes, my silly sweet wonderful girl, you are sassy!

It'a not very often that I share a photo of me, but since Em took one and it's not too bad I'll put it in, someday, I will take my hair out of the bun, I promise... Ok, well I promise to give a thought at least!


You may be wondering why there are no photos of Liam, well we are going through a rather fun stage, where Liam appears to have his head stuck to the ds or wii, therefore we tend to forget he's there. I'll remedy that next time!

isa LOVES crafting. she is passionate about art on all levels. All she wanted for Christmas was a sewing machine. Santa told her no, not till she learned to hand sew. Well, she has taken the challenge and can produce a more even hemline than her mom! Yep, she's a natural. Aunt Mandy and Aunt Kimberly found a steal of a deal. A Barbie sewing machine for 2.50 at goodwill. Isa is over the moon! She and I put together a project for baby K. She did all the colored squares and I did the denim. I say she's got a gift, what do you think?

Baby K is my baby buddy. Doesn't he have the sweetest face!
Those eyes melt my heart!

The fountains are their favorite part!

I love my kids!~

Cute toothless grin!

The Opry hotel reopened and do I took the kids for a walk. You should have seen the funny looks I got with all five kids...

All in all a good day. I'm glad we get to experience so many neat places here!

Best Day Ever!

We got our yearly bit of snow and LOVED it. Of course snow means we have to get our igloo/ snow fort built which went really well based on the fact that we filled bins to make the ice blocks. Yes yes, we are creative and cool... Isabelle asked for syrup snow, (I just learned that it needs to be heated to 250 degrees to make the taffy they talk about in little house on the prairie, so next year I'll be ready) Emery just ran around like a crazy woman shouting at the top of her lungs and trying everything, from the new snowball gun to snow angels. (yes Aunt Tam, Liam is wearing his hat over his hood. He wanted it to show and said it was cooler that way. ) She even put in some good time on the snow fort. Colin just thought the whole day was really cool and ooood and awed over everything. It was a really fun day and I for one am grateful for the snow. In fact I think I can count it as a class in architecture for homeschooling don't you?
