We had a nice lazy day at the house today so I took the opportunity to play with my camera a bit and capture some fun pics to share. Hope you enjoy! (It’s a little lengthy.) First things I saw when I looked out the window were a moose in the yard and a nice […]

2008 Tree Adventure
On Nov. 29th all four of us jumped into the rhino and got our first family tree! I didn’t know it was going to be so much fun, we’ll definitely be making a tradition of it. It sure beats an hour and a half of fluffing fake branches and the associated raw fingers. Those of you […]
I’m A Rebel
It’s here! Christmas came early for me this year and I got a Canon Rebel XSi. I’m super stoked to have a nice camera to get a little more artsy in my photographs and step up the quality a notch. That being said, I know that equipment is only a small part of actually taking […]
Fantastic Four
Isn’t four a wonderful number? Cars are made to comfortably fit four, family packs generally come in fours, four leaf clovers are special, people with bad vision claim that four eyes are better than two! All that to say, who would want a family bigger than four? Well, I guess I kind of wouldn’t mind. […]
Double Vision
I think we may have figured out who Elli looks like. There’s no denying that they’re sisters. (Nya on the left Elli on the right.)
Fireworks Fun
Today we had the privelage of taking Nya and Elli to see fireworks for the first time! It was really a fun experience. Nya was big eyed the whole time pointing at each new display and I probably souded like a complete dork…”Ooooh, look at that one, it’s so blue and pretty!” I must admit […]
The Day Niki Lost Her Wisdom
This is an oldie but a goodie. Shot back in August of 2004 BC (before children). Niki had her wisdom teeth removed and I think they took a little more than her teeth…. you be the judge. This video is fairly long but if you know Niki you’ll enjoy every minute of it. (If you […]
Mommy Moment 11-3-08
Do you ever catch yourself in one of those rare moments where time actually does seem to stand still just long enough for you to take in something truly wonderful? I have just stepped out of one of those moments ~ I literally had to shut the door on it, regretfully, for it was “night […]
Momma’s Little Helper
Every time Niki gets out the vacuum to clean, Nya always starts saying, “Vacuum! Help?” Of course being the selfless parents that we are, we get out her little toy “vacuum” and let her start training to take over the chores helping and playing… I’m not sure how long this will last but lets hope it’s […]
Winter’s Welcome Here!
It’s that time of year again, and we’re ready for it! We’ve been out in the snow a couple times now and we even went sledding behind our house. Of course I managed to accidently delete some of the best pictures that we’d taken, so I’m at least getting these up before I make them […]
