Here's three of my kids skate 'n it up on our new quarter pipe. Taylor just learned her first trick called the rock to fakey, Trent is learning how to push then go up the ramp, and John is learning how to be more civilized in public.

I think it's time to post some more cute baby pictures. She's growing and changing so much that I'm just going to say, "she's only 2 months old"... for a couple more months.

How to properly care for a baby.

Boy am I glad that my dad shared these diagrams with me. You forget the smallest details on caring for a baby!

Now welcoming all comments!

My store is up and running with new products being added daily so give me the good, bad, and the ugly comments so I can perfect it! Thanks!

My Dad, The Artist

This is one of my favorite paintings that my dad did. The background is snow peak and it's a place we would drive up to in the late fall when the vine maples are bright red and sometimes there would be a little snow on the ground. It's a peak that is so close to my parent's house that it looks like a mountain. The flowers in the picture are Lupine, Indian Paintbrush, and Bear grass. I was probably five years old when I learned all the names of these flowers from my parents. When most kids were drawing cats and dogs in grade school, I was drawing a red tailed hawk. Being outside and learning about God's creation was one of my favorite memories of my childhood.

Rough Draft, any comments?

20 weeks prego = letting it all hang out

I got the official, " no more sit-ups" from my doctor today. So, I said "probably shouldn't do push ups either." Maybe I should try to get out of tricep dips, dishes, and laundry too. My jeans are getting a little tight now so I'm wearing my funky pants around the house. I don't suppose anyone out there in Blogland is trying to sell Sevens, Citizens, or Paige jeans in size 27 maternity. Doesn't hurt to ask.

I think SHE is smiling and waving.

What do you think of these red hot shoes?

I'm just experimenting with photos, so please excuse my oddness.

Taylor's First Day of Kindergarten!

Okay, she's not really a model just super cute. Two songs that she learned at school were " 5 little monkeys jumping on a bed, one fell off and bumped his head..." and "Taylor stole the cookie from the cookie jar, Who me? Couldn't be!" So I heard these through out the evening, over and over. She was shocked to find out that I, a mom, would know these songs too.

Steady....steady...Yeah, it didn't fall!

A fun day at uncle Ben's wedding.

Calling all creative mom's.....

I had to put this on here because John is one of my Towheads, and we are a cute couple.

Mommy & Me Tea Party

Taylor and I went to a mommy and me tea at Deepwood Estates, which is a really really old house. We had a lesson in manners during the tea w/ blueberry scones which was much needed for me. You know I can be really ill mannered at times.
