There's a reason why I love looking at pictures. You don't usually take pictures of the bad stuff. For instance, I don't have any photos of when my children are in time out or when Kaelah broke her collar bone in April. I don't have any photos of me praying for forgiveness after loosing my patience with Kaelah or telling my husband I just want to give up. But I do have pictures like this:
Dan took Danny on a date to go slot car racing & came home with an RC pick-up truck. This is what he looks like when he plays with it (usually when all the children are asleep).
Here's a picture of my girls when Danny was taking a nap. They love their girl time to be sisters!
And look at how proud I am in this one! If I am near her & Kaelah & Danny are not, Michelle will tell me she has to "poop" & goes pee or poop in the little potty. I was so shocked! The last couple of days Danny goes pee in the potty every morning after breakfast but then isn't interested the rest of the day. We're making progress!
And who can't smile when it is Grandma or Grandpa's birthday? Here my mom blew out the candles. I'm glad she laughed when she saw I was using the leftovers from Michelle's 1st birthday for her 61st. Love you, Mom!
I just had to add this action shot of Kaelah in our backyard on my dad's birthday (5 days after my mom's).
Here's Michelle helping re-decorate the cheese cakes for my dad's bbq. You might be able to tell which candles are hers by which ones are bent. But she was so happy to be helping! That smile is worth a million candles.
(He turned the big 6-5 so we made a bigger deal out of his birthday. Later that night Dan, Kaelah, my dad & I went to the Colorado National Speedway too. It was a new experience for all of us & quite educational!) We used the pavilion at our park that we've been saying would be nice for a party since we moved into our house back in 2004. Better late than never!
It got windy as it came time to blow out the candles. I'm grateful for friends who are willing to lend a helping hand.
Last but not least, here we are planting our 2011 garden. It was a beautiful day & most of the plants are doing well. 4 plants & the grass seed drowned due to all the rain we had. New experience for me in CO! Check out how willing Danny is to dig in. I'm amazed by how strong that 1-year-old is. Oh, & see Kaelah's hair? She wanted curly hair like her friend Bernadette but won't let me use a curling iron on her, so one night after bath time we watched a movie while I put 10 braids in her hair. That beautiful girl can rock any look. I'm so jealous!
