Christmas at Grandmas

I know Christmas is sooooo last year. But these are for Grandma Breeze. I am slow to blog, but I do eventually get to it. And Steven and Tanner were there but somehow managed to avoid the camera. Hmmmmm. Teenagers.

Easter weekend

Bonnie and Matt cheater pants. I can't believe you two. Starting the Easter egg hunt without everyone! You two are going to spoil that boy! If you will all closely notice, Jackson is not in the Easter egg line up. Hmmmm..... And Matt Hargreaves... dumping your eggs in everyones car.... I posted Gracies egg for you. In case you can't read it it says STINKER!

Isaac was the only one interested for a while in coloring eggs , so we let him have the eggs all to himself for a while. I love the last picture, if you look at the cheeks on Isaacs bunny bag they look alot like his cute little cheeks.

And Ben and Erica took off just before the egg hunt(didnt you two want your share of the five million eggs to take home)? Grandma and Grandpa almost had Ethan lured away with kisses but then he started waving goodbye to everyone.

Happy Easter!

California.....

Sunshine, palm trees , hydrangeas, roses, the sound of the ocean, the smell of the ocean in the air.Running on the beach(my favorite!). Watching the kids chase the waves. Watching the big boys attempting to surf.Watching THE sufers. I can't wait. As my dad says, these are the paydays, and I am sooo glad we ge to go!

Newport Beach

Newport,obviously not the greatest photo, I think I took it three years ago with a disposable camera. But hey you get the idea. And then there is me, with my very own MR. Incredible at one of our favorite places to eat the Blue Bayou. I am looking forward to having a great time with my family, and then also all of my brothers and sisters!

Just realized I should have posted that the other way , with the sledding coming first and thennnn the story about her scar. But oh well.

Hanging out on a long cold Sunday, love, love,love my kids. Even if she won't let me document the scar up close!

The wound her brother gave her

Ok , I feel like a terrible mother, it actually was a little deeper than I originally thought. I just brushed her off and told her to get back on the sled and have fun. She wouldn't let me photograph it up close but you get the idea.

Saturday Fun

We went to my brothers for some snowmobiling and it was alot of fun. I can't believe how long those kids can stay out there. I do not like to be cold! I had taken my camera because it was such a pretty day, but, as I just said I do not like to be cold, so I came in after just a few shots. Tanner got to learn to drive the snowmobile and he loved that. Even tho he was going in a circle over and over and not very fast , he managed to throw the kids from the sled. Lili and Jade were scared but not hurt, Brightyn came up laughing, and of course the only one to get wounded was his sister, who is not going to let him forget that he scratched up her face. ( It was a long ride home,all the way to far off Salem with Gracie reminding him of her wound)

Ezra again,.... for Bonnie who wanted to see the other version of processing on this photo. I like this one too.

Newport Beach

My brother Ezra. Braving the cold water on a beautiful day in California. Oh I can't wait to get back to the beach!

So we were just playing with lighting, or I guess I should say I was. She is so darn cute. But the last one scares me....... I thought the Hannah Montanna concert went great, with no lasting effects.( I am the conservative one where stuff like that is concerned) It would seem I am wrong.....there is something about that photo that suggests something from that night sunk in. (and yes her pom pom is her mike)

I have a few more pictures from Halloween to post still, maybe on the weekend. I am out of time for blogging today!

I loved thier costumes! Bonnie was the crazy girl in Nemo and of course Jack was Nemo and Matt was the dentist! I will get a bigger picture up of Bonnie. That photo dosent do her headgear justice! Those costumes were great.

This is Padmas Jedi, Walter. I think the top photo says it all.

Princess Padma and Grim. Gracie was lovin the gun!

Ethan was not to sure of me in my witches hat.

OK I dont know how Candi escaped without her picture bieng taken, she was the bride of Frankenstine and Matt is the mad scientist. ( We will expect Miss Piggy next year!) Great costumes!

Eli, Brightyn and Jen. Harry Potter, and a evil fairy? I dont remember the name and a warning sign! Love it! Captin Hook was not here with his crew yet.
