~ A Birthday for a Princess ~

My Little Princess' Party

They grow up so fast. It feels like just yesterday that we welcomed her into this world! She has grown up and changed so much, but she is always Our Beautiful Baby Girl!

Cake YUMMMM!!!

I love how they always are wanting to share!

She is beautiful!!!

Dance to princess music and freeze in a prince or princess pose!

Our Emily is such a blessing from our Loving Heavenly Father. 

She is so precious. 

We love watching her grow!

Emily, 

Mommy, Daddy and Andrew love you  sooooo much!!! 

Thank you for being our little girl!

~ Imaginations ~

I LOVE ImAgInAtIoNs!!!

I think that our imaginations are one of God's greatest gifts to us. We can go so many places and have so much fun. My two children have been blessed with such great imaginations!

We go from riding on a boat, to swimming in shark infested water, to riding down the waterfalls (also known as the stairs)! At times we are kittens, dogs, bears, hunters, but most of all they are each others best friend!!

I was going to do a post on our January footprints, but I saw that I have a few posts that I never published. So, we will share some of those. Here is the first one.

For some time, I would do exercises by DVD here at home. The kids found some tinker toys and decided to make their own weights. Then, they moved on to producing their own exercise movie!!! Here I have just posted the pictures, but you will see that they have wonderful imaginations!

(Btw...right now, they are playing on the couches. They are pretending that they are getting on different lily pads to cross the river. One is floating down the river, the other is on the shore calling and attempting to save....We are not sure what their fates will be, but we look forward to our next adventure....Uhhh it's not looking so well, the hungry alligator is coming :0)  )

One, two, three...okay, we are almost done with this!

Here we have a demonstration of what we are not to do while exercising!

We are doing a little bit of ab work as well as arms!

Almost done!

A little more cardio!

Hope that you enjoyed your work out for the day. Please make sure that you do this under the supervision of your kids!!! They are not held liable for any injuries associated with participating in this exercise instructional!!!

What are some of the things that you or your children have imagined? What places did you go?!?

~ Foot Prints of 2011 ~

It is hard to believe that we are already 12 days into the New Year. Time has flown. I have been looking through pictures of our last year to see what made it go so fast!! I guess we had a lot of FUN!!! I thought that I would share some of our footsteps with you! I hope that you enjoy.

 Daddy reading the kids Bible before bedtime!!! They love their Devotion time before bed. Usually, we read a bible story or two and sing at least a song!!!

Mommy and Andrew dug a huge tunnel through the snow/ice!!! We had a lot of fun!

 A wedding! Aren't they cute! 

Time with family near and far!

Jeremy's brother and cousin, with his family, all were back for the wedding. We had a great time with them. We wish that would have had more time, but we cherish what we did have!! WE LOVE ALL OF YOU!

 We enjoyed a nice fall walk in the woods. There is nothing like the smell of fall and the crunchy leaves!!

Jeremy had the opportunity to play some soccer! It was good for him! We enjoyed watching it!

November 2011

The kids and Mommy did a LOT of baking! We had so much fun! Mommy was grateful to have people to give away all of the baked goods to! It is fun to bake, but we really don't need all of those goodies sitting around our house!

 The kids had fun using their imagination! They are making their own work out video. I actually did record it!!! It was so cute!

 Thanksgiving!!! I am so thankful that I have my Grandpa Bradish around to spend holidays with! He is such a great person. Love you Grandpa! Thanks for all of the laughs and love!

The kids and I made table decorations! Andrew is showing them off for you!

Emily, Bradish and Andrew!!!
