Kool-Aid Mustache Wearing, Donut Eating, Wii Playing Five-Year-Old Fun!

We got to spend some quality time with our nephew this weekend. And thanks to him we are now better Wii players, enjoy the casual cup of Kool-aid along with the mustache that comes along...and we got to have some donuts! Thanks for the fun Johnny!

This gives a whole new meaning to "Pants no the Ground". I'm just sayin'...






Wii Victory--for a five-year-old!

Texture for I HEART FACES!

This week I tried something completey out of the ordinary. Not sure if I like it just yet or not...but thought it was worth a try. Check out more great entries at I Heart Faces.

Meet Josh--isn't he handsome! I was going for the distressed look and almost had it...

Turtles,Turtles and more Turtles

We have turtles...and now we have lots of them. We officially have four. Josh just got three small slider turtles online and they arrived on Friday.

This is one of the tiny ones. That is Josh's hand to show you the size of the turtle.






And this is Cuff. The older of the turtles.

New Year's Eve

We ended up back in Missouri just in time for some New Year's Eve celebrations with Josh's side of the family.

Sweet Ollie! She loved the doggies!


Whenever Josh talks about dogs (or bulldogs as he calls all dogs), this is the look I get. Don't ask me...but it's pretty darn funny!






More to come.

It's Been Too Long

So I've been on the road a bit for work and we've been working on hard on getting the house ready to sell. So unfortunately the blog has fallen to the bottom of the list. So back up to the top! I still haven't finished pictures from our Christmas trip!

Hmm...Mads--what do you want to be when you grow up?!


Puzzles!


Love the sharpness of this!




Pretties...


Hey pretty...




Love this one...I think that's a natural glow behind my mom!




Ok...next up some New Year's Eve fun!

Best Face Photo at I Heart Faces!

I'm entering this one of Maddie from just 2 1/2 weeks ago. We had so much fun celebrating Christmas this year with them! Her baby blues just make my heart melt everytime I look at this picture and this sweet patch of light. It's Josh's favorite too.

Trial & Error

I'm working with some new presets and am liking them. What do you think? Bridge--which one do you like? Weigh-in everyone. I'm interested to know what others like.

So We Danced

A tough week at work so I love looking at these pictures of Maddie dancing. No inhibitions, just savoring the moment of dancing to the snowman music. And so on weeks like this, I sometimes wish I could dance with her, no inhibitions, no worries or fears, just dancing. Thanks Maddie for the smile!

I've Got a Wicked Case of the Mondays

Today was the first day back to work and well...it's just not the same after having spent a great week with our fun families! Missing this already!

Jazz Game

Josh & I headed to the Utah Jazz game last Saturday night and had so much fun. I've been before but this was Josh's first time. It was nice to do something a bit different and change things up on this trip!







This little guy was pretty adorable.
