Zoe's Parents Observation Day

Tim made it home in time for Zoe's Observation Day at gymnastics

Annie's Gymnastics Show

Annie had Parent's Observation day 01 April

leaf car

Annie and Zoe made a leaf car from the numerous leaves that are still hanging around in the yard. I wish the wind blew the other way sometimes.

Cat on the loose

Little Boy enjoyed hanging around outside with us on a warm spring day. He was on his way to check out the barn. His first foray there ever. No barn criiters were harmed. Maybe next time.

A New CAMERA!!!

Tim got tired of us trying to find the camera and bought us a new one. Here are a few of the pictures I've taken with it...

We are still looking for the camera. I have a missed a few good photo ops. Maybe I should get a new one at Circuit City.

Sorry

I'm sorry there have been no new posts lately, but we currently cannot find the camera. We have been looking everyday for 2 weeks. So far, no luck and no one is 'fessing up about where one might look. Everyone here is still cute though so you are not missing too much.

Lily

January 1997- January 2009
We miss you, Lily.
Go find Posey-cat.

big girl

It's hard to see in the picture but Zoe got her ears pierced. She checks herself out in the mirror regularly to make sure her ears are still attached.

Rudolph

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer paid a visit to our house to see if the girls were behaving themselves.

Uh-oh!

Zoe just finished devouring a smurf. Actually, it was a blue marshmallow reindeer lollipop. I don't know why the reindeer was blue. Maybe it found out it wasn't going to guide Santa's sleigh.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am copying this, spelling and all, from a list hanging in Zoe's room.

snow

Annie-It is snowing, Mommy! I want to make a snow angel! I want to EAT IT!! I NEED A BOWL!!!!!

New bed

Annie got a big girl bed with Care Bear sheets for her birthday. So far, she loves it.

Annie

Annie laughed after blowing out the candles on her cake. Zoe helped a little. I wonder what they wished for.

The cake

Annie's new favorites, My Little Pony, are the decoration for her birthday cake.

Annie's party

Annie and Zoe's friends, Max and Chloe came over to celebrate Annie's 4th birthday. They got to decorate their own t-shirts for the craft part of the party. T-shirts are much better to decorate than walls...

Weightlifter II

You are supposed to work opposing muscle groups, right?

Weightlifter

Zoe decided Annie needed some help getting around the park.

Zoe's desk

This is Zoe's belated birthday present. It took a while to find it but I think it was worth the wait. And it was a bargain too.

train

Choo-Choo, make way for the Grandpa Train.

This little piggy

We went to Green Meadows Petting Farm again this year. We got to play with this 2 day old piglet. They wouldn't let us take him home with us. Poor Little Boy and Lily didn't get a new friend.

Girls

A rare moment when the girls like each other.

Annie

Annie is mad because no one will wait for her.

Zoe

Zoe in cheater mode.

Straw Maze

Zoe is climbing around in the straw maze at a pumpkin farm. Eventually she got bored with the regular route and started climbing over the bales. She got in trouble for that and she got some scratched up legs for her effort. Cheaters never win, Zoe.

Exercise

Zoe tried out the exercise bike at the b&b in Georgia.

More fun

Zoe and Sarah were dueling with their Chick-fil-A fans/cow masks. A fun time was had by all.

Chick-fil-A party

The only reason to go for a quick trip to Georgia-Free Chick-fil-A. Well, I guess to see some family, too.

Slackers

This is the first sight we encountered on our quick trip to Georgia last weekend. Okay, they aren't really slackers, Keith and Josh were just resting after their yard sale.

Extra dog

Annie and Jen found this dog in the driveway taking a rest. Eventually we found her owners. Annie was sad becasue she wanted to keep her.

Mr Toad

This toad has taken to hanging around in the pool area. Hopefully he won't go for a swim in the pool.

A new pet

The girls got a new pet unicorn, just kidding. The girls were visiting Max and Chloe at their house and Chloe was dressed as a unicorn. Max ran away before the pictures clicked. He had been dressed as Spiderman. Zoe was a mermaid and Annie was a fairy.

Another quilt

This quilt is for the newest cousin, Kiyah.

Before

These are the before pictures. We took these to see how tall Zoe and Annie are now and when Tim comes home from Iraq in April, we'll take new pictures and see how much they grew. Also, it was Zoe's first day of first grade.

Babies

This is typical of Annie when it's time to go anywhere, arms full of baby dolls.

Nose ring

Annie demonstrates one of the many uses of a Tootsie Roll.

Becky and Tim

Becky and Tim hanging around in RI. Note the Kewpie doll hairstyle for Tim. He has since had it cut. No more teasing.

Jailbird

While in RI, Zoe and Annie played Jail with Auntie Becky. It involved wrapping the criminal in a blanket like a pig (in a blanket) (get it) and the jailbird has to get free. Auntie Becky was the warden.

girls

Zoe and Annie being sweet to one another. We had to take a picture to prove that it does happen every so often.
