Just a Funny Picture!

Hahaha!  I love snapping pictures when my subjects are not expecting it, because I end up with a few treasures!  

Happy Birthday

Gracie turned 17 a few weeks ago and what a joy it was to celebrate with these 3 charming girls!

:gasp:

What could Emma & Gracie have heard to shock them so?  Oh dear!

"Film Stills"

  

 Getting ready for a glamor shot.

"Ouch!"  Gracie fixes something in her slipper.  Sarah waiting for her turn in the picture.

"Come on Sarah, loosen up!"

"Oh!!!  Did you hear....?"  *gasp*

 Unsuspecting ladies.

 *scream* EEKKK   A bad guy!

"Don't worry!  I'll take care of it!"  Gracie always prepared and ready.

Fish....ish....ish!!!!!!

What could they be looking at?????

Oh.....What!!!!! LOL!!

Heads or tails???? ;)

Don't worry! The sink was bleached VERY well! You can come over to our home knowing that every inch of that island and sink are very clean! LOL!

Enjoying our new home!

Like the title says, we are greatly enjoying our new home! Here are some pictures of the goings-on!

Lydia fell asleep on dads lap
after an exhausting day of decorating!

Anna was here on Sunday with her mom and Lydia wanted Anna to read a book! Everyone was captivated!

I have been very much enjoying the kitchen! I made four loaves of spelt bread.

And also scones!

Dad finished all the tile he could do till after the range hood is installed. I was able to get all the grouting done as well! Whew! There is still so much to do in this house! Here is the kitchen window sill.

Detail!

Also, much to the joy of our whole family, Grandpa got the door knobs installed! Whew! It was such a pain to get them open and not scratch the wood with our finger nails! The knobs make the kitchen look finished!

Mom got the drawer pulls at a garage sale and then painted them black! The knobs were garage sale bargains as well, $1 total, and were painted to match the pulls!


On the island!

The other day was so lovely and the sunshine was calling to us! Keslie was here so we all took a walk down to the creek and had a lovely time throwing rocks and building towers!



"See what I found?"

Keslie and Gracie made this tower!

Ben andLydia made this one!
A cute cottage in the woods!

On our way back!

Spring is coming!!!!! Look at those lovely tulips that a friend gave us!

Then Gracie made some coconut cookies and Lydia was more than eager to help! Look at that smile!

Now she's a little more serious and getting to work!

Thanks for taking time to stop by! Hope you have a lovely day!

Gracie and Anna's photo shoot

I've been taking far too many pictures for the lack of time I have to get them posted! But there is so much going on! First I have to share with you some pictures I took of Anna and Gracie. They looked just darling together!

~Wedding Bells~

Spring Ball!

Once again we had the honor of attending a Ball with Keslie and Kami. They came for the weekend then I took them home and stayed for a few days. Here are some pictures from the ball:

We're all ready!

Hummm... =)


Me, Gracie and Heather! It was Gracie's first Ball!

Me!

Can anyone guess what he's holding? I can't wait to hear what you all think it is! Hehe!

Two sisters (or almost) trying to be cool. I think we failed....

=)

Gracie!

Heather and Kami goofing off! But they sure look darling while doing so!

Some dancing pictures! Keslie is looking at David like she really wishes she was closer to him! Awww!

Taylor and Heather are in the background.

Our Keslie!

David is really concentrating in this picture. Actually both he and Keslie said they had to really concentrate the whole time just to be able to dance the right steps!

Brittany and Josh G. Josh works with David and often comes over to our house and helps work on the new house in the evenings. He is a great help!

Our Kami!

After the Ball we went to Shari's with some friends. It was great fun despite the fact that we were all very tired after dancing for hours!

Gracie and I.
