Ballerina

Photobucket
Not sure what she was doing pulling up her skirt but she's obviously very creative....

Photobucket

And here is a little video of Gretta's final ballet class. She had a lot of fun with it so maybe we'll do another session, it was just through the community so nothing too serious or strict! Just fun!

Beautiful views, weather and fun time spent together sums up our weekend! We had a wonderful trip and are so thankful for our friends and family even though they are far away and we couldn't be with them. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend!

Once upon a time....

In a faraway land called California, there lived a family who didn't blog for a long time and kind of forgot to take many or any pictures for a long time too....So oops, here are some random, random pictures and a few updates! We haven't been all that busy since Halloween but we had some visitors a couple weeks ago. Our friends Kirk and Melissa who were married this past summer are moving out here! So they were house hunting and stayed with us for a weekend. Other than that....a few house/decorating tweaks, a quick trip to MN for hunting and a baby shower and then just normal life stuff that apparently didn't need much photo documentation, except for a few random moments.

Photobucket
Like this girl who has been on/off interested in the potty. And for those of you who might notice that LOVELY tile in the background....well this is where I've been spending a lot of time and (needless to say) I think some more house tweaking will be happening soon and it will begin with a sledgehammer in this room!

Photobucket
The house tweaking....back hallway before.

Photobucket
Now, painted the same color as the entryway.

Photobucket
The living room/entryway before.

Photobucket
Where we are so far....decided to take down ski pics in other living room as they looked more at home here!

Photobucket
Fireplace wall before

Photobucket
Still a work in progress, but I'm liking it better. The ski pics were too tall/big.

Photobucket
Finally, an event to take pictures of! Tonight there was pj story/music time at our neighborhood clubhouse.

Photobucket
With snacks!

Photobucket

Photobucket
Not the greatest pics, but I felt I really needed to update. So hopefully in the coming week with Thanksgiving coming and Gretta off school we will get out and take some fun pictures to share! 
The End.

Fall tra-la

Photobucket
Front Step Fallified!

Photobucket

Photobucket
Off to the Harvest Festival where we perused crafts and sampled kettle corn, white sweet potato pies (SO YUMMY) and a pulled pork sandwich! Nice fall day for it too! 

Photobucket
And because I hardly ever get pics of just me and my girls.....

Photobucket
Oh eyelashes.

Photobucket
And more eyelashes!

Photobucket
Say CHEEEEEEEESE!

Better than a picture

Here is a little video....I realize I don't post them enough and living far away they show so much more than pictures! So here are a few little snippets of their lives! The first one is actually from the summer and the rest are more recent. Such as Maggie showing off her counting and ABC skills, the girls showing sisterly love and a little jump fest! Enjoy!
