Shoes...

Here are Alyssa's shoes for prom. Don't your feet hurt just looking at this picture???

She said her feet were swollen Sunday afternoon and she didn't know why?!! I had a pretty good guess! :)

I like the swooshy hair in this picture!

Have a great Monday!

Prom

This is Alyssa and her date for the Prom! :) OK, not really....but I think he is pretty cute!
Alyssa got Aiden dressed up in his fancy clothes too. My camera is acting up in the house with low light so the picture is not the best.

This is the back of Alyssa's fancy dress. I have a better picture somewhere on my camera, I will look for it. The dress is a little long, even with the heels that she is wearing! And the HEELS!!! Holey, Moley!!!! She is almost as tall as Richard in those things! (I also have a picture of those too!) She says they are comfortable, but I don't see how they possibly could be. I just hope I don't get a call later, having to meet them at ER for a broken ankle!

I love this picture of her. Pretty light, natural look. Alyssa is just so beautiful! (She gets it from me, I know! :) )

....and here are the three of them together. I have some of just the two of them, but I will post them later.

That is all for tonight. I will upload some of these and others to FB.

Aiden in his Bumbo

This is Aiden in his new toy! It is called a BUMBO and it is the coolest seat for babies!!! They can sit unassisted (but still supervised!!) in this neat chair. The seat is lower and it really supports them pretty well. He is having a great time!

More Tulip pictures!

Here are a couple more pictures from the Tulip Fields. We have hundreds to pick from, but I will just show you a few!

Alyssa and I in front of "the tree". I like to get my picture taken with each girl in front of this tree each year. It is a fun way to see how each of them has grown. Alyssa is almost as tall as I am now!

Here is Alexandra....she is almost as tall as me too! She is 10 and growing quickly! She loves big oversize sweatshirts, and we have had to get her bigger ones, because she "fits" the other ones now!

McKenzie and I. McKenzie is 8 and is also growing quickly! We just had to git rid of some more jeans and dresses because the ones that fit her in the fall......just don't work anymore! Sometimes I wish I could just freeze frame this moment in time because it is going so fast.....other times I am looking for the fast forward button! :)

Here are my three beautiful daughters! My goal this year is to take more time off of work and hang out with them more doing fun things! Not expensive or far away, just relaxed, fun, and maybe even spur of the moment.

Here is Alyssa taking pictures (I think of Alexandra and I) and little miss McKenzie in the background giving here bunny ears! :) She is a little too short to see the bunny ears, but the thought is there! :)

Another photo shoot!

This is the biggest laugh I could get on camera. Too bad it is just a picture and not video! He was laughing pretty good! The picture is a little blurry, but I didn't want to delete it. I can just hear his little baby laugh by looking at his smile! :)

This picture is clearer, but he is not laughing as hard! He is still totally cute! He is seven weeks old today! He has been with us for almost TWO months! It seems like just yesterday....and forever ago! CrAzy!!

Have a great Wednesday! Mine will be super busy!!!

a visit with Great Great Grandma

Aiden got to meet his Great Great Grandma Joyce on Monday night. I think she likes him! :)

We went in to her shop and had a great visit. She got to hold Aiden and visit with him. I fed him his bottle, Alyssa changed him, and Joyce got to hold him again. It was fun!

I told Joyce that I would like to get together around MOther's Day for a five generation picture. I don't think the Sunday will work for everybody, but maybe the Wed or Thurs night of that week would work (around 6ish).

Have a great Wednesday!

Part two...

Here is my beautiful daughter Alyssa. I like this picture because of the tree in the background. She has a nice natural smile on her cute little face! :)

It was a really long day and not all of the pictures turned out like I wanted them too, but some are just tooo cute to not post! :) Alyssa was pretty tired and I caught her mid-yawn! Alexandra and McKenzie look cute! :)

Even Aiden got in on the tulip pictures! Alyssa held him up in front of some tulips and I was able to expertly zoom in, so her hands don't show, and just get Aiden and the tulips! (Isn't his hat cute?!)

This is what happens when you give a camera to a 10 year old and you don't supervise what she is taking pictures of! Some of the things I find on my camera when I go through the pictures just make me shake my head and smile!

All in all, we had a really fun day! Great weather, yummy treat (we stopped at the Fabulous Fudge booth for our treat!) and lots of fun pictures!!! I can't wait to see the mini book when I am done! :)

Have a great day!

Guess where we went today?

We, along with 153,936,295,284 other people, went to the Tulip Fields!!! It was lots of fun. The weather was really nice, but it was super duper crowded! I figured with it probably being the last weekend that there would be tulips, it would be busy, but it was CRAZY!!!

My girls and I and Aiden in front of the windmill. A very kind stranger took this picture for us. I asked for the whole windmill in the back, and then zoom in and take just us. We got some windmill, and us. Close. It still turned out cute. I like that Aiden was able to be a part of the picture even though he was sleeping in his stroller. He slept most of the time.

Here is a beautiful tulip. I don't remember the name but I like the fuzzy edge!

Here is my beautiful Alexandra! I like this picture of her because she is not squinting in the sun and she is not making a silly face! You can see all of her beautiful face.

Here is my beautiful McKenzie! I like this picture of her for the same reasons, No squinting or silly faces, but I also like it because she has just a hint of stinker in her expression!

Can you find Aiden?

This is like the Where's Waldo books, except that Aiden is on McKenzie's bed with her and Alexandra's stuffed animals all around him!

This is him with McKenzie's collection of elephants. We didn't get all of the elephants, but we found most of them!

Alexandra is letting Aiden hold Blueberry. It is her most very special bear ever! She doesn't share Blueberry very well! :) Aiden looks pretty happy with Blueberry though!
