94|365 it's not permanent marker joy

It was time to walk out the door and Kyle came downstairs like this. Luckily it was a dry-erase marker and came off pretty easily. And now I have another picture to show his future girlfriends :)

93|365 baseball at dusk joy

92|365 golden hour joy

The golden hour is the hour before the sun sets and everything has a warm golden hue, even the air. A great time of day for pictures!

91|365 finally finished the puzzle from Christmas joy

Finished...minus 9 pieces. But that IS finished when there are three kids in the house who want to "help" with the puzzle.

90|365 peek-a-boo joy

89|365 fishy kisses joy

88|365 whopper joy

On Easter Sunday, Cody and Papa took the boys outside for a little fishing. A few minutes later Barrett came running in saying, "I got a whopper!"

87|365 Easter Egg Hunt joy

Today was the Mom to Mom Easter Egg Hunt. We had a great time and Annabelle had her first Easter Bunny experience.

The boys were having a ball on the bounce houses!







And here's Annabelle with the Easter Bunny

86|365 Kyle "read" a sign joy

We had a showing today, and so to get out of the house for a while we all went to McDonalds. Kyle saw this sign and he said," This sign says NO NAKED PEOPLE ALLOWED!" yup. that's right.

85|365 orange belt joy

I am so proud! MY son got his orange belt in Taekwondo. AND he was one of 3 kids out of about 15 who got a special recognition award! He is really enjoying "karate". (Cody corrected me today about calling it karate, but it says karate on the sign!)

84|365 coloring easter eggs joy

My mom and the kids dyed hands eggs today.

83|365 wherrrrre's Annabelle? joy

She's crawling and finding herself in places she's never been.

82|365 reading in bed joy

I went to check on the boys in bed and found this scene. I went to get my camera and took this picture without them knowing. Then, I promptly extinguished the fire hazard they had created and replaced the lamp with a flashlight.

81|365 daddy did my hair joy

81|365 gourmet-looking dinner joy

This dinner was so yummy and impressive looking with the lemon rinds and rosemary sprigs. I also made corn pudding to go with it. I don't know what got into me.

79|365 crawling joy

Annabelle is crawling. It's not organized, but she can get across a room by rolling, scooting, army crawling, real crawling, or back scooting. She is getting lots of practice by crawling to where Aggie is laying, only to have Aggie get up and move across the room as soon as Annabelle gets close. So Annabelle crawls to Aggie in her new location and the crazy cycle repeats.

78|365 lost in his eyes joy

I was looking at Barrett's eyes as we were playing outside and and thought I HAVE to take a picture of his gorgeous eyes!


If you look closely, you can see me.

77|365 supergolfer joy

Somebody's gearing up for the Masters. It's hard to tell but he has on a cape which is why he called himself "Supergolfer."

76|365 surrounded by the state flower joy

75|365 newborn session joy

Today I took outdoor newborn pictures of my friend's precious new baby.

74|365 cuddle joy

I have never seen a brother/sister relationship as sweet as this one.

72|365 swinging joy

We met up with some friends at the park. Annabelle loves swinging...or just hanging out in the swing while I was busy pushing the other kids.

71|365 family walk joy

We decided to enjoy the nice weather and go for a walk after dinner tonight. I always like the idea of going on a walk after dinner with Cody but that just isn't likely to happen right now. So we all went and it was nice.

Here's Barrett on our walk.

70|365 visiting the new baby joy

Our good friends had their third daughter the other day. Unfortunately it was when we were all sick so we couldn't visit them until now. Little Molly is such a doll! I can't wait to take her newborn photos later this week.

I got a picture of big sis with Molly. Kyle wasn't in the mood for pictures and Annabelle kept pulling Emma's hair and Barrett was at school. Such is life.

69|365 buzzards are good luck joy

This one's for Meredith.
This guy was at the gate as we were leaving for school this morning. I don't know if he brought me any luck though.

68|365 first karate stripe joy

Barrett got a stripe on his belt today. The stripe means that he knows the moves that they have been teaching. He felt very proud and so do I.

67|365 just joy
