Trains and Impromptu Photo Shoot

One of the last things we did before we left Florida was take the little kids to a small train exhibit at a local church. There were all sorts of trains, including Thomas and his friends, along with interactive stations for the kids.

The kids, especially Chance loved the trains! He's a bit of a train freak and it was great to see him in his element.

After wards we took the kids outside to play. I received a new lens for Christmas, so I thought I would put it to good use and practice on the kids...it turned into an impromptu photo session (obviously nothing great...but we got some good pictures)

Here are the 3 muskateers...Kinley, Chance, & Landon
Can you believe this is how big they were when they first met, just a little over a year old in November of 2008. It's amazing how much they've grown and they are the best of buds!
Little Libbie has been accepted into the group, yet chooses to do her own thing. I have no doubt that in the near future she will be whipping the cousins and her brother into shape!
This is a perfect picture of Kinley...she is a bit sassy mixed with alot of sweet!
I can never get e good picture of Landon...this is all I could manage.
Chance being the goofball that he is...
a short bit later he was spending time in "time out" still being a goofball!
Finally, my Little Libbie posing for the camera...she knows what to do in front of a camera!

Old Friends = Good Times

Over the holidays, I was lucky enough to get together with some high school friends. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's always a great time.

Here's the break down of moms and kids
me: Landon & Libbie (but you already knew that!)
Katherine: Ben, Abbey, Juliette
Janice: Shane & Grayson
Kelly: Emily

Ben is the oldest of the bunch, then Landon, next are Shane & Abbey, finally Juliette, Emily & Libbie.

Landon has been going through a super heroes phase, so when he found out that Ben had super hero masks and capes, he had to play.
This is Grayson, the newest addition to Janice's family and the youngest at the get-together!
Grayson's big brother Shane also played super heroes with the big boys.
Unfortunately we never got a picture of all the mom's together in one photo (poor planning on our part). Here's me with Libbie, Kelley with Emily, & Katherine with Juliette.
Emily and Libbie are only a few days apart.


Isn't she the cutest... Little Abbey!
Libbie and Juliette look a bit like siblings!
Finally, we got Janice into a picture but with no Kelly...I guess Grayson will have to do!

I had such a great time catching up with old friends and letting our children play with each other, I hope we get to do it again!

Christmas in Pictures

I know I'm behind so this one will be pictures only!











Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was spent at church, then we came home for dinner and family time. What would Christmas be without a little photo session...
