Easter Dresses

My mom made the three cousins matching dresses for Easter. We weren't all together on Easter, but we got the girls together a week before to take their pictures.

With subjects this beautiful, you wouldn't think getting a cute picture would be so hard. We did get a lot of laughs and eventually got a few good ones.


If you are happy and you know it clap your hands!

3 cutest kids EVER

I know I know I am biased. But they really are adorable. And watching them interact is even cuter. I love that my girls have a cousin that lives close by that they can adore, share clothes and hair accessories with.

Ahh, the cuteness. And yes, it did take like 10 shots to get these two. Love those cutie pies.

Elena really wanted Elizabeth to wear her hair clip. I love how incredibly ridiculous it looks with her tiny amount of hair, which thankfully, is finally starting to grow.

Happy Thanksgiving

In the spirit of thanksgiving, here are some pictures of Grace and Elena in their Happy Thanksgiving shirts.

I am so thankful for what God has done in my life. I hope you all have a wonderful day, surrounded by family, food and fun. Happy Thanksgiving!

A visit from Elena and company

My family came up last week to see us, and to go to the hymn sing at our church. Which, by the way, was loads of fun. I always enjoy their company, and Grace, as always was beside herself with excitement. The only thing better than Grampy and Grammy coming up, is of course, Grampy, Grammy, Tia, Uncle Danny, Uncle Mike, Auntie Ann, and Baby Elena coming up. Good times, good times.

When they got here, both Elena and Grace were sleeping. How cute are those girls?Grampy (also known as Grandpa Pa or my dad) helped Grace look over the fence. She thought it was fun.

Elena just gets cuter and cuter. She is the happiest baby and will sit there and smile and smile. She is super mellow and goes with the flow (just like her mommy). She is such a joy to be around. She even let us put her in Grace's baby's stroller. Times like this are when it is the downside to being the baby of the family.

Cousin time

It is so fun to have family near by. I love to see the love that Grace has for her Aunts and Uncles, and most of all, her baby cousin! Michael and Ann are so sweet and patient and with the affection she pours on their sweet daughter. Elena, is a great sport although sometimes she does look a little worried.


Grace loves having company. She wanted to show Tia where we get our mail, so walked out by the mail box. Our road reminds me of a country western song for some reason.


Michael just got a new lens and some new flashes so he was trying some of his equipment out on the girls.

Elena is such a happy baby. She will light up with a smile when you talk to her! So cute!




I really do enjoy being an Auntie. It isn't quite as much fun as being a mom, of course, becuase they have to go home after a while. Elena is such a good baby too. She is so cute and content.


I love my sisters! :)
There is this praying mantis that spends a good amount of time out by our front door. I have moved him before and he seems to come back. Either that or we have been attracting praying mantis, one at a time, by our front door. Maria took these pictures of him, and I thought they were kind of cool.

Cousin time

Last Wednesday my mom, Maria, Ann and Elena came up for a visit. Although it was her first time at my house (since her birth) Elena slept through most of the visit. She was a good sport and let us take many pictures of her while she slept though. She even let her big cousin Grace hold her. What a trouper. We took tons of pictures, and so I boiled it down to my very favorites, which for me was quite a challenge. :)

Elena's smiling!

Silly girls
My mom took a couple so I could be in them. I love my sisters.
