Happy Birthday to My Nate!

Today is Uncle Nate's Birthday! Emma wanted to send a special message to her Nate for his birthday! Emma says "I love you Nate, come see me soon!" Elle says ditto!

Fun with Friends

Elle and Emma have been asking to play with their friends Ryan and Dylan for a couple of weeks, so Saturday, they came over. The girls had a great time! They all played inside for a while, and then we took the fun outside! The girls were kissing on Ryan, and he did not seem to mind much. It barely interrupted his drinking! Dylan was a bit camera shy..

Hair Cuts!

Well I finally got the nerve to cut the girls hair, not just trim...cut. Mom Kim (Logan's Fraternity House Mom) cut Elle and Emma's hair on Wednesday, and she took off about 2 1/2 inches! The girls love their new dos and really like how much easier it is to comb. I got a picture of Hollywood getting her hair cut, and the final product on both.

I love having my camera back!

I love my digital camera, but it has been a rocky road. I have sent it in twice for battery issues, and have been told twice that there is not a problem. I guess I just need an additional battery because the charge does not last as long as I think it should. Anyway, I love all of the special effects that it can do! Here are some of my favorites!

My Eyes Are Open!

We have been working on keeping our eyes open when we smile for pictures...as opposed to the typical Cheese! w/ eyes completely shut! The bad habit has made it difficult lately to get great smiles and eyes in pictures. When I took the picture on the left of Emma, I told her to make sure her eyes were open...and she did. Emma is so good at following directions....sometimes!

Calling all Models

I took the girls to a model search today at Eskimo Joe's. They had an ad in the paper that they were looking for models of all ages for their Joe's Clothes Magazine. Scott actually saw the ad first and suggested I take them. After the fact he told me he was only kidding. Oh well, the girls were #95 of the evening. They just took their pictures and you had to write down contact information on the back of the number they were photographed with. We'll see if they get a call! I took these pictures outside Joe's after the Model Search Photo. I think Elle smiled in the Joe's picture, and she wanted to pose with a Joe's Football. Since I was standing just to the left of them, I really never saw their faces, but I don't think Emma ever smiled.

Attack of the Geese!

We went outside on Sunday and we were being invaded by Geese! There was probably about 50 or so. Luckily the wild ones were close to the house and not the domesticated white ones that the girls call the "mean geese". Otherwise we would have been back inside and not able to enjoy the cool air and peaceful sounds of the evening. The girls just continued to play and act as if they were not there. I do love our house and the bit of country that we have, with the luxury of neighbors.
