POTD-Picture of the Day

Rylee and Uncle Ryan playing at Peyton and Maci's soccer practice tonight. You can't see her face...but let me describe it for you-no fear and pure joy!

I can't committ to a quote jar like Erin S. on her post here, but I do love the idea. So here's an idea, a virtual quote jar. So I'll try to record quotes in my "virtual" quote jar when my kids...or husband provide material.

And here's the first entry:

Mommy: "How 'bout you put your jacket on?"

Brady: "How 'bout No."

Favorite POTD for January

Since I'm a little behind on my blogging I thought I'd post my favorite Photos of the Day from January as a sort of review. I've taken at least one photo since Jan. 1! I've made it about 3 weeks past where I made it last year for Project 365 so at least I'm making progress.

What to do when you don't have a Bat Cave to park your Bat Cycle in??? Park in Mommy's bathroom of course!
Wednesday evenings are Mommy and Rylee time together-whether it's hanging out at home or heading to church it's just the girls.Hopscotch was just one of the lazy day activities we participated in on the MLK, Jr. holiday.We, of course, headed to the Fair for food, fun, rides, and did I mention, food!Peyton started his basketball games the last weekend of January. Not much dribbling occurs in his games and they don't keep score but he loves every minute of it!
So there it is, January in pictures...or a few of them anyway.

Christmas Rewind

We had a lovely Christmas here in our new home. We opened our new Christmas Pajamas on Christmas Eve. . .We fed reindeer. . .in pjs and boots We woke up to a Christmas tree filled with presents (wrapped expertly by Mommy. . .I mean Santa). I was particularly proud if this one for Brady.We enjoyed Christmas morning with Nana and Papa in Indiana via webcam.Then on Saturday we went with Grandma, Madison, and Maci to see Alvin and The Chipmunks, The Squeakquel. It was squeaktacular (oh, I do crack myself up).

Wishing you. . .

Christmas Program

Family Photos

My wonderfully, wonderfully talented cousin Carrie took some pictures of our family this past Sunday afternoon while she was in town for Thanksgiving. She is not only my cousin, but also my "roomie-for-life," and Brady's birthday buddy (Feb. 22). She's one of my favorite people in the whole wide world and I love her a lot. And she takes pretty cool pictures. One of her photos was just featured in a book about "Ace of Cakes." You can read about it on her blog http://www.carolineprietzphotography.blogspot.com/. Here's just a sample. . .
