Grandma's Girl

We've been spending a lot of time w/ my parents as my grandparents are visiting up from California and staying at their house. It's been a lot of fun (for everybody).

Peekaboo Kate

This is a 6mo size outfit, and it fit ok (little big), but this flappidy thing kept flapping up. I thought it was cute. it ended up getting soaked cuz she couldn't keep it out of her mouth.

Are You Tired of Kate the Great Yet??

I just can't help myself...Katie is catching up on some much needed sleep today, Mitch & Maddie are out of the house, the house is fairly clean, and I might lose weight if I exercise, so i'm posting more pics of my beautiful baby!

Indira Jane is Here!!

Madison and her new baby sis, Indira Jane at little less than 2 wks old. She's a beautiful baby!!

Check out those Lashes. They would make those gals on the mascara commercials jealous!

One More Before I Climb Into Bed...

Madison's new baby sister Indira Jane. Congratulations eric and alethea



Mitch had to calm katie down the other day by standing in front of the window in the front door and whisper sweet nothings into her ear. It worked and made for a lovely shot.

Dream Big My Love

I Love you Madison! I'm sooo proud of you. You are so full of life, love and peace I have to stop and wonder where it all came from. Certainly not me. The good Lord gave you a deep soul, a soothing soul and I need to remind myself to thank Him everyday for you and the peace you give me in this crazy busy world. I love you dearly my sweet young lady! Dream big and no doubt you will fulfill each and every thing you set your mind too. A friend once told me you could rule a country (and you were only 4 when she said this). I've no doubt you could!! Dream big my love, dream big.

Precious Moments

It was sweet of Colson to take a break from his adventuring to feed the little princess. Good practice for him as he will soon have a little princess of his own.

Happy Birthday Mitchell, etc. etc...

My sister-in-law inspired me through her blog to play with contrast/ b&w photos. She has a few BEAUTIFUL photos of mitch, nan, and nick on her page. I don't even come close, but here is my attempt w/ mitch and my dad's pictures.

maddie allowed me to take a few close ups. I love taking her picture. She's sooo lovely.

Little miss Katie-Muffin is turning out to be quite the smiler. I love her lopsided grin. she's got everybody wrapped around her finger.

I love the curiousity little Lewis has. Here is getting into the dirt at grandma and grandpa's house. I couldn't bear to tell on him just yet cuz the dirtier he got the more pictures I wanted to take. And boy did he get dirty!!

Colson showing his dad KC how to turn a walking stick into firewood. I wonder what sort of adventure he's cooking up in his head...

I love this shot of Nan. so soft... except if looks could kill baby :)


Last weekend we celebrated mitch's 33rd birthday in the way we do it best. Gathering the family together to cook up a great meal (ribs) and enjoy one another's company. I had a great time!!

Tribal Maddie

Madison got bored, so she found another use for mascara. Thankfully it wasn't the waterproof kind!! TRIBAL MADDIE!!

For Daddy

Daddy believes all babies should run around in the nude! Messy, but I do LOVE the wrinkles and soft baby skin. Nothing cuter than a neked bebe!!

Cry Baby

Poor katie had to have her 2 month immunization shots yesterday. These are the "bad" ones. The Dr warned she'd prob be extra fussy for us today. She was. Cry cry cry till bedtime. She did sleep through the night though and woke up today in her usual chipper mood. Grandma Wendy doesn't believe me that this baby can throw a fit, so this one's for you Grandma!!

Blue Eyes??

I think her eyes might be blue...

Meet the Family

Thanks to my Dad for taking the pictures so we could ALL participate. Even Bob the dog got in in the fun. and WHAT is THIS? Mitch, SMILING???? How do you get an unwilling participant to smile for the camera? Allow him to pinch your backside!! Hahaha
