A Day at the Beach

Over the Thanksgiving break (yes that was a while ago!) we took a day trip out to Point Reyes, which was way further from our house then we remembered!  But is was a gorgeous day (a little chilly) and we had a wonderful time!  The beach was nice and flat with lots of rocks to climb on and explore.  The kids loved it!  Here are a few of my fave pics from that day!

Scooter Time!

Both girls got scooter this year for Christmas.  Addy got a princess one and Kalli got a Barbi one (it was a Barbie Christmas for Kalli this year!)  They have been enjoying their scooters even thought it is pretty chilly!  The coolest thing about Kalli's scooter is it has a little scooter space for Barbie (too funny!)

And of course you have to ride a princess scooter in a princess dress, right?!  Love these silly girls!

A little quiet time!

All the kiddos are back at school today and I had nothing on the calendar for me!  So lovely!  I decided that I would tackle our catch all office that got super out of control over Christmas.

I know crazy!  I worked for a little bit, but then this was calling my name!

So here I am playing on the computer and drinking some delicious coffee!  (I am doing some work on the computer too, not all play.)  It is nice to have a quiet house and a moment for me!

The Many Faces of Addy

I wanted to try and do some kind of photography 365 this year, and of course I am only 6 days in and I have missed 2 days!!  Oh well.  I am going to try and take lots more pictures this year and work on shooting in manual.

Today Greg took the two big kids skiing and Addy and I spent the whole day together, running errands, playing games, watching shows, coloring, cleaning, napping and having a lovely day!  Of course I had to take a break from our game to snap the many faces of Miss Addy!  I just love this crazy, cute girl!

5 Year Old Birthday Fun!

My super sweet Kalli girl is turing 5 next week, which is craziness!  How do these little people get big so fast?  Well Kalli is the best!  She was a very clinging, quiet little girl who only liked her momma and this year she has  come out of her shell!  She is funny and outgoing and caring and loving and compassionate and such a sweet little lady!
We celebrated this sweet girl with a Fancy Nancy Pajama Party!  She had 4 cute friends come over for fancy fun.  They got fancy hair and fancy nails and fancy food and lots of fun!  It was a fun party with lots of sweet girls!

My fancy 5 year old!

Fancy table!

All the girlies in their glasses!

Day 4- Sunset

Sunset is really further down on the list, but I went to beach at Thanksgiving and got to enjoy many beautiful sunsets.  One evening we did a little photo shoot with the amazing sunset.  I always look forward to Thanksgiving because if we are with my family we get to be at the beach and I get some great family pictures (because my sister and brother in-law are wonderful photographers!)

This sunset picture is of my sister and her amazing family.  (I also an including a favorite picture that my sister took of my family!)

Day 3- Clouds

I am VERY slowly getting through my photo challenge list.  (Here are the clouds I actually took a while ago!)

I love how the sun is trying very hard to break through the dark clouds!!
