Trying to get sun flair

I am trying to figure out how to get sun flair in my pictures. I wasn't able to capture it. I guess it needs to be sunnier, or I am doing it wrong. Oh well, here are some pictures of Maia. She asked me if she had to smile. "Of course not dear, just let me practice."

My new business cards

So check these out and tell me what you think. I found these very unique cards from a business called Moo.com. They are based out of London. Lots of cool stuff but I thought it would be cool to make some different looking cards, just to be different. I am sure that doesn't surprise anyone though. Soon, soon, I will have my new improved photo blog up, with my new biz name and I will be getting my license! In the mean time though...let me know what you think of my new cards..only if you have nice things to say.

By the way, not that it is any surprise to anyone, but this weather sucks. I am stuck indoors, no photo opportunities, going crazy.

A Starbucks Evening

It has been pretty quiet around here lately. The snow was insane, but now it is starting to rain, which is making a bigger mess on our street. We have been stuck indoors forever it seems, so tonight Steve and I decided to get out of the house and take little Dane out for a treat. The other kids were all other places for the night, so it was just the three of us.

Ahhh, Santa was good!

So we celebrated Christmas a day early this year. The kids were up very late last night, trying to see if they could catch Santa! They finally fell asleep around 1130 and I could break out the stockings and the gifts! This morning they were all very excited and they all got exactly what they wanted! The older boys got Guitar Hero for our Wii. I think that is my favorite present so far. Very addicting. But....I have to share Wii time with the Wii master (Davis). It is going to be hard to tear him away from it to take him back to his moms tonight. Dane got his Handy Manny tool set/truck, and Maia got her American Doll (Mia). Looks just like her. It was a fabulous Christmas and the kids had a great time. We also woke up to a TON of snow! it is still snowing and I bet we have a couple feet. I am not sure how I am going to get our Tahoe out of our driveway this evening. The snowplow keeps going buy and burying in the car so we cant get out!

Good thing they didnt break my bed frame! Goofy kids!

Cabin Fever

I guess we dont really have cabin fever just yet, but I can feel it is going to come on soon. We were suppose to get a huge storm last night, but it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. I decided I could drive out and get the rest of our stocking stuffers. Parts of the roads were completely bare, while the wind had created huge snow drifts on other parts of the road. I was just making it through in 4 wheel drive, I couldnt believe people were driving around in their little cars, some stuck and trying to shovel their way out. It was kind of fun driving though. I was also scheduled for some pictures today but of course this pesky weather got in the way. I tried to get my kids to let me take pictures of them instead. No luck.

Maia will not smile

They both run from me

These two asked for a snack. I told them they had to eat it in the kitchen. They brought the kitchen into the living room.

Just for Heather and Suzie

In honor of Heather and Suzie making fun of my music selection, I added 4 new songs by the ever popular group Hanson. And don't worry, I definitely got MMMbop on there for ya both!
