Elle surprised me and set the table "fancy like the tea room" with little cup cake liners filled with our appetizer cereal and everything. :)

Mmm bowl full of deliciousness. Just one pomegranate. My shirt looks like I butchered something.

She figured out how to make a tee-pee like structure with three branches to stand on its own. didnt even tell her how just watched her figure it out.

Girls building a play house from the branches daddy cut down before we burn them in the fire place later.

Hawaiian grilled chicken, pomegranate salad, and mashed potatoes. only took me two hours. pfff! why can master chef jr. cook even more amazing food in 20 mins!!!

And in with the new! (well two owners before us, but so much nicer!)

Out with the old nasty torn couch.

Special notes from my husband

My husband is so sweet!

Thinking of you and the girls. Pulling weeds...

We worked hard getting the house tiddy. Time to relax and watch a show before bed. landlord comes early in the morning.

Big fat belly. The baby has almost reached my belly button now which will be the half way point!

Goodnight!

6 years ago today Daniel asked if I would spend thre rest of my life married to him. Gave me this rainbow clock ring. The rainbow representing God's promises. God sent me lots of rainbows reminding me He was in control as I fell in love with Daniel through our Bible study friendship. The clock represents all our time on this earth spent forever married. He told me he still wanted to do a formal proposal with a diamond ring, but this moment was more meaningful to me. I always hoped I would be proposed to out of the blue so I didnt expect it and didnt want a large audience, so this night was absolutly perfect.

Tashi's letters. both girls have gotten much better in just the few months we've been practicing.

Elle practicing letters. Love these dry erase boards from target dollar bins.

Looks like one of thoughs norman rockwell paintings with the guy looking in the miror painting himself or something.

Earlier today after balloons. Met a friend at the park to play.

This is the way we cut our hair. . .. Daniel tried my dad's flo-be robot hair cutter that you attach to the vaccum, but Daniel said it was too painful and stopped. So back to the old cutting with scissors. Looks crazy, but normally he's able to make it look ok in the end.

Beautiful morning chassing balloons. Claira esp. loved the "iggy" balloon.

Watching balloons

Taking this to see if blown up you can see it better. Gas balloons flying by.

Claira woke up from nap and looked longingly and the muffin I was eatting. I gave her the rest of mine and went back to checking my ebay listings right next to her. look over and shes ate the whole thing and fell back asleep! Full belly, happy sleepy baby.

Elle wanted to know why we take naps. So I found a you tube on the science of naps. Now her and daddy are watching a bunch of science you tubes. Natasha and Claira are playing together in the playroom.

There are holes like this all along our bedroom wall. Termites have got to go or we're not going to have a wall.

Claira took a nap on the car ride home so now we are napping and she is ready to play. Letting her play in my room so she doesn't bug the big girls.
