Easter

Happy Belated Easter. This was taken up at John's parents church. Why they still have a Christmas stocking hanging there is beyond me. Oh well, gives me a chuckle:D.

Tammy

The lady finally gave me the disks with Seth's baseball pictures on it from last year. Thought I would share one:). I may have to post some action shots in the future.

Tammy

Look who lost their first tooth!! She lost it 3-11-2011 and Spring school pictures were taken 3-13-2011..........sigh. I was hoping for one more set of pictures with all her baby teeth. Needless to say, she was so excited it finally fell out (at school) and the tooth fairy could visit!!

Tammy

Seth played basketball again this year for his school. This is the official picture. Of course, being 13 it is not cool to smile..........lol.

Tammy

Happy New Year!!

From our house to yours............

Cousins

On Thanksgiving Day both my niece and nephew were present, so we decided it would be a good time to snap a picture of the kids together. Back Row (L to R) Seth and Amy. Middle Row (L to R) Eric and Zackery. Front Row (L to R) Kami and Ciah. Needless to say, they had a grand time hanging out together...........

Tammy

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Every year the kindergarten class has their Thanksgiving Feast. One class dresses as Pilgrims while the other dresses as Native Americans. I snapped this picture of Ciah this morning before she left for school. Needless to say, she could not wait to get to school to show off her costume.....

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!!
Tammy

Happy Halloween!!

Last night was trick or treating here. My sister and her son came down for a visit and Eric was able to go trick or treating with the kids. Needless to say, they all had a blast:).

Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!!
Tammy

Happy Birthday Kami!!

Happy Birthday Kami!! Hard to believe my baby turned 4. Seems just like yesterday she came home (age 2). Needless to say, I think the pictures says it all.........lol.

Tammy

Preschool

Kami started preschool this week, so I quick snapped a picture her first day. She is loving preschool and always has a big smile when I pick her up at the end of her day. I cannot wait to see what all she learns as she starts a new adventure in her life:).

Tammy

Happy Birthday Zackery

Last night we celebrated Zackery's 9th birthday. Hard to believe he is 9!! It was just yesterday he was 1 and being placed in my arms. Happy birthday Zackery we hope it was a good one!!

Love,
Mommy and Daddy

It was the first day of school today. I tearfully sent Ciah off to her first day of kindergarten. It just does not seem possible for her to be old enough to start school. I tried my best to talk her into staying home with me, but she would not hear of it. She knew I was joking and kept telling her brother that he was right, I didn't want her to grow up........lol. Zackery started 3rd grade and Seth is in 7th grade this year. How did I get old enough to have a 7th grader?!? Before I know it, he will be in college............sigh.

Tammy

Happy 5th Birthday Ciah!!

Party Girl

Impatiently waiting for Daddy.......

Hope everyone has and wonderful and safe 4th of July. We will be spending it at home and later in the evening joining my BIL and his family to watch the fireworks. Nice restful weekend:)................

Doodlecharms Throwback Challenge

A scrapbook page I made with the Cricut cartridge Doodlecharms for Creative Time with Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge. Am hoping to get a good picture of the kids this summer to put on the page:).

Tammy

Happy Gotcha Day Seth!!

Today was Seth's 12th "Gotcha Day". I will never forget standing in the airport in New York waiting on him to pass through customs. When he finally came around the corner, my hands were shaking so bad, I could not get him out of the stroller....lol. Thankfully the lady that met the plane and escorted him through customs took him out and placed him in my arms. Words cannot begin to describe the emotions and feelings that hit when his little head came to rest on my shoulder. The mounds of paperwork, police checks, and what seemed to be the endless wait was over. I had my son in my arms:). Now he is 12.5 years old and I wonder where the last 12 years have went.........

Tammy

Red, Blue and Brown My Creative Time Challenge

A simple red, blue and brown layout for Seth's baseball picture. He has been playing the catcher position some this year and doing quite well at the position. Needless to say, I'm proud of my boy:).

Tammy

Wordless Wed.

Can you tell she has older brothers? Wonder which one taught her this move.......lol

Tammy

My Creative Time Throwback Challenge

A card I made for Emma's My Creative Time Throwback Challenge. I did not have the Animal Kingdom cartridge, so I use the Create A Critter cartridge with my Cricut machine. Love how the lion looks like he is walking down the "black carpet" for his close-up............lol.

Tammy

Wordless Wed.

6 Years Ago...........

6 years ago today we said good-bye, unexpectedly, to our daughter Marcail. You were an angel here on earth for the 2 years. Heaven sure holds a special angel now. We know you are the most beautiful angel and we cannot wait to see you again........

Love you and miss you,
Mommy, Daddy
Seth, Zackery
Ciah & Kami

My Pink Stampers Father's Day Challenge

I made this card for the Father's Day Challenge for My Pink Stamper. I do not have a lot of male oriented stamps, so I decided to make a more elegant card.

Tammy

My Graduate

As part of the school pictures, they took one of Ciah in her cap and gown. Love the little tassel that says 2010 on it...........

Tammy

Ciah Graduates

Today Ciah graduated from preschool. Does not seem possible, as it was just yesterday her birth mom was giving birth to her!! Needless to say, her Daddy and I are so proud of her:)

It's Spring!!!

Since the weather was nice here today we all headed outside. Kami decided she was going to join Seth in a game of baseball. I do not know how those little arms were holding up that wooden bat, but she got a few swings in:).

An Irish Blessing for St. Patrick's Day.........

Wishing you always,
A wall for the wind
A roof for the rain
Tea beside the fire.
Laughter to cheer you
Those you love near you
And all that your heart might desire.

-Irish blessing

Finalization Day

Today at 9 am our youngest legally became "ours". Granted, she has been ours, in our hearts, from the moment we seen her picture, but it is always nice to hear the judge say what we already know. Needless to say, it has been an exciting day..........
