Happy Birthday Anna

Yesterday Anna said she wanted to stay 5 forever, it's nice to think she's enjoying her childhood.


After I took this shot I thought, I've seen her pose like this before... that smile, the tilt of the head, that double chin...


Ok, I saw her pose like that about two years ago, look!

Even Cuter in 2007

By the title, you can tell I'm their mom.
But they are cute! I love how Sam's pants are crinkled up, and how they are holding hands.

Valentines 2007

The day started off with new bedding from Steve, very nice! Anna says it looks like something from a hotel. I think Steve said it's a cross between the Luxor and the Venetian. And we finally have a bedframe to elevate the bed at a normal height.

I made Steve an accordian book, I went to a scrapbooking class and an instructor showed us step-by-step how to make it. I was pleased with Steve's reaction as he brought it to school to show off the photos.

These are my two favorite pages of the book with the two cutest photos of Sam and Anna.

Photobooth Photos

These were taken a few weeks ago via Mari's laptop. Her computer has a camera right above the screen, it also has a cool photobooth program...


... with several special effects.


Ok, are you laughing or totally creeped out?

The Farm

It's been a while, I don't like too much time to pass in between postings but lots has been going on, here are some farm "archive" photos...


Funny/cute pose.

"Oh Sammy..." says Olivia.


"Ok, my turn now," replies Sam.
