Diggin' into the stockings!

More pics from December

A few requests for Santa.

"This hair wraps so nicely between my fingers."

My horse lovin' girls grab a ride every chance they get.

This is a very, very little pony. Savy is not that big.

We went to a church event this past weekend that was so much fun. There was a huge snow pit. They brought in a couple of dump truck loads full. The kids had a blast.

(I will learn how to get these turned around, eventually.)

This is Maddison at a church Christmas pagent. It was almost comical because none of the kids smiled till the very end. It was all at once, like someone turned on a light.

A few pics from October and November

These sweet clean cheeks say it all.
Relaxing at the 'punkin' patch

We ventured down to the beach one day to skip a few shells and enjoy the crisp air.

Savanna's 2nd birthday!

These are a few pics from Savy's birthday. She was so tired by the end of the day.

The four of us. Rare that we're all on the same side of the camera lense together.

Time to Catch Up!

I realize this post is somewhat fragmented. The next one will be better because I'm going to do a little posting research between now and then. It's been so long since I posted previously that I forgot how to do it. Sorry guys!

The "ranch house" as Dad likes to call it, is not yet finished. At the time of this post it should be. The Ozarks are beautiful, lots of rocks and clay.

That is Dad with Maddie on his shoulders, and me fishing in the river.

I need some help getting these pictures turned. These are some various pics of fun moments.

Mom and the girls caught a hermit crab on Mother's day on the boat in Stump Pass.



We took a trip to Arkansas with my mom and dad to work on the ranch house they had built. We did some trout fishing almost every morning we were there. I love river fishing!

Maddie is holding a container of nightcrawlers.

I spent some time with Savanna at the beach while Maddison was finishing up school.

The girls love going to the water fountains on Venice Island. This was Savy's first visit.

Maddie was so proud of herself after a great gymnastics exhibition. She is very strong and has great muscle tone. We're learning about sportsmanship now. She expects a lot of herself and has a hard time loosing.
