Princess or not?

Our little lady LOVES to dress up like a princess. ALL THE TIME. Everyday she is wearing a princess dress, and if not a princess dress, a dress at least. She will dance around a sing songs, about princesses, and she will try to act like one. At least she tries.

Cinderella


Dancing around like Cinderella would.

Princess Anneliese (barbie princess)

This photo makes me laugh, she is flying around like a princess would of course.

And what is a princess without her wand and crown?

She died. Like all princesses do.

And don't most princesses have moods like her?

Oh boy...

Goofy girl

Really goofy...

Kinda snooty if you ask me...

Yes, princesses can be like this I suppose...

But I think we all would prefer this??

Aww, this is more like it, my Princess Alyssah

So sweet. When she wants to be.

Jake and his Homework

After our trip, Jake has so much homework. He worked very hard and did it all! I am so proud of him! He is a hard worker and hardly complained about doing it. And that makes it easier on me!

I love this picture of him, he is concentrating so hard on his work.

These are all the sheets he had to do, he also had 4 books to read and sight words too. He had a spelling test and a sentence test as well.

These were the packets he had. They each had 5 or more sheets in it. So he had a lot, but he is such a trooper, and he got them all done. I am so proud of him!

Snow Fog

I am loving my new camera! I love that I can take such good pictures with it and up close, or through a window too! I am so lucky to have such a great husband who knows that I can take good pictures of the kids and he got this for me for christmas!!

This was taken through my window and zoomed up close. The fog was so thick, but the trees looked BEAUTIFUL!
I love how the animals were outlined with the snow fog. So cool!

SO BEAUTIFUL!!

Taken from my kitchen window of the deck. Zoomed in good.

I zoomed in a lot here. I love how it focused on the second layer of the deck gate. So cool!

Grandma and Grandpa Torno

We had a nice visit with Grandpa Dennis and Grandma Carol. They wanted to hear how our trip went, so they came down and got to hear from the kids how the trip was, and to see all the almost 1000 pictures I have of the trip. It was a great visit, and I am glad they came to see us!

Things

I bought these shirts at Universal Studios for my kids. I love the Thing 1, Thing 2 and Thing 3. These are so cute. They like to wear them too. Except Alyssah who likes to wear only princess stuff. Mark wasn't too happy about getting these, they were 20 a piece, so pricey but fun anyways!

The snow is good for something

My kids LOVE snow sooooo much! They are very excited to go sledding all the time! They love it! We bought a new sled for the boys from Wal-mart, they really love it. I am so glad they go out to enjoy the snow, you have too, the winters are too long not too.

The boys about to go down the hill!

Weeeeee!!

Jake going to go down again, he isn't wearing his boots, he left them at school, and this day was a sunday. I didn't know this, the little stinker!!

There he goes!

Josh~ always has a smile!!

Alyssah loves to get outside too, this is the first year that she really can, she isn't so little and I don't need to be out there with her. I still watch her from the window though, and I got alot of cute pictures of her and her friend Kenzie.

Alyssah saw Kenzie and she was so excited!! She has a huge smile on her face! Click on the picture and you can see her big smile! So cute!!

Old friends meeting! I love this pic!
