Sunshine and Happiness

took the kids to the beach the other night... 

more sunshine and happiness to come.

better....

photos that is. ( than the last ones anyway ) 

I love love love this dress on her ( just sayin ) 

She loves this dress... I think it looks very pretty on her just makes her look too old... and its not appropriate for school...

and some more.. less on purpose photos.

ok well thats about it for now... the kids want to go swimming again..

 

 

some new stuff....

Hmmm lets see.. yesterday we took the kids to the beach in hopes of seeing the solar eclipse.. we did see a bit of it... but some dumbass ( me ) brought her good camera and then forgot to put the battery back in it.. (score one for me) so it was iphone photos at the beach.. so here those are or well some of those anyway.

ok so you get the idea.. so speaking of cell phone pics... also went to the drive-in recently to see The Avengers.. it was awesome and I love the drive in

( you cant beat movies in your pajama's outside in the early summer ) 

ok well these are some recent phone photos.. and let me say ..  AHEM.. the best camera is the one you have with you..... 

 

 

 

Things that make me happy....

For starters... my kids playing basketball together in the yard makes my heart happy oh so happy.

this also makes me happy... Zachary has gotten really into wood working this year and is taking it in school.. he made this for me as an early birthday present. I love it.. he did such a great job.

Also makes me Happy.. Cierra with her good friend Lexi.. they are too cute together.

Springtime makes me happy... I love things growing and the wonderful colors.. I love my crab apple tree when it blooms all in pink and my neighbors tree flowering all in little white flowers.. and just the wonderful springtime smells.

ok seriously now.. can some one please gentically engineer a tree that will stay like this from spring to fall?

well folks.. thats all I got for you presently... stay tuned for more spring stuffs

Tomorrow our baby girl is turning Eight Years old.. I know I say this with every one of the kids birthday's but seriously where does the time go?  She is such a good girl.. truly.. she does awesome at school, everyone seems to really like her.. she's girly yet not.. she loves Monster High Dolls and the Lochness Monster.. She loves to read, and draw.. play on the computer.. loves to play basketball and swim.. she is just such a good girl.. we all love her so much.. Happy Birthday baby girl... ( one day early ) I willdo an official 8 yr birthday shoot sometime this week... Here are some recent photos of her.

She is such a lovely light in our lives.. her smile and laugh.. her smartassness... she is just perfect.

 

 

 

wonderful weather

We have had the most wonderful weather for March.. so much so that this week we got the pool ready and the kids actually went swimming.. Yep thats right.. swimming in March in Western New York.. unheard of... Personally not sure how the kids could jump into a pool of water only around 68/69 degrees.. but they are kids and well I guess they dont care.. I need it to be in the 80s pushing 90's before you get me in the pool..ha.. anyway.. a few shots from our lovely weather...

Just lovely... we love to take advantage of this awesome weather for sure

 

ok so yesterday it was like spring... it was up to like 65 degrees the sun was shining.. it was just lovely.. you know my kind of weather.. so after everyone got home we took the kids hiking/shed hunting.. for those of you who are not sure what shed hunting is.. its not looking for a shed like for your yard.. its actually deer antlers.. they fall off the dear this time of year and if you are lucky you can come across them out in the woods.. kind of like a treasure hunt.. so.. we went up where my husband does alot of hunting and went out walking around.. just felt so good to be out in the fresh air.

( Miles clearly is not great at walking yet... ) sigh

I love this bark crown Jake made
