Sean's Photography

Sean went out late last night and shot some really cool pictures. Just thought I would share them. He is getting better and better everyday!!

Thanksgiving Day

Yesterday was Thanksgiving. This year we went over to my mom's house. It was something different since we are used to doing it at our home every year. I really enjoyed it though and had a great time. I made Sean bring his tripod so we could get a family picture with my mom since we don't have one. So here are the pictures from that.

This Thanksgiving I am really thankful for a our new home in a new location. We are loving it here and so are the kids. I am so thankful that God put us in a great place for the family. I am also thankful for my wonderful family that I have. I truly have the best husband and the best kids a wife and mommy could have. I am truly blessed!! We are also very thankful for all of our other family and friends that are so supportive in all we do. We love you all and couldn't do it without any of you. We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. :-)

Skating fun

So last Sunday we took the kids to the skating rink. We used to go in Puyallup all the time and then we moved and sort of quit going. It was the first time that neither one of us skated with them and they did it alone. They both had a lot of fun! Sean and I enjoyed watching them and hanging out together. It was nice! I like the skating rink here better. They both are really getting good at skating too. It sucks because their school has a skate night once a month but it falls on dance night for Breanne. One night we are going to have to skip dance and go just so they can go with their friends. Anyway here are some pictures of them skating. They didn't turn out the best due to lighting but thats ok they are still cute.

Letter to the tooth fairy

So last Tuesday Breanne lost her tooth. Well when the tooth fairy came that night she couldn't find her tooth under her pillow. So the next morning Breanne found her tooth along with her money. She came running to me and said look what the tooth fairy forgot. So we told her she should leave it under her pillow again because the tooth fairy needs her tooth. We suggested she write a note to her and this is what she wrote. She was really hoping that the tooth fairy would leave her more money again but that didn't happen. That tooth fairy is sure stingy!! The second picture is from when we lost power. Sean went around taking pictures of the fireplace and candles that were lit. He got some pretty cool looking pictures. I liked this one of the fireplace. This last week we had strong winds almost every night. I think the night we actually lost power it was gusts up to 60 mph. Luckily we only lost it for two hours.

School pictures for year 2009/2010

I like the pictures but wish the glare wouldn't have been in Cameron's glasses.

Our new house

My MIL asked that I post some pics of our new house. So that is what I am doing. I thought it was a great idea because I know lots of you out there have not yet seen our new home. Hope you enjoy!!

Will it ever go away??

So today Breanne woke up sick. She started off with a small fever that just kept going up. Then by 10 she was throwing up. I absolutely hate when my kids throw up. Not only for the obvious reasons but I feel so horrible for them. I just want to make it go away. She only threw up twice thank goodness. Now she has just ran a fever all day of around 102.5. She won't take medicine because the last time she did she threw up. She is worried it will make her do it again. She has slept off an on all day but is doing ok.

The good news is she lost her 4th tooth today. Her second top front tooth. Sean was so excited because he is never here when the kids lose their teeth. He actually got to pull it out. I can't believe Breanne let him but it was just hanging there so she said he could. Here is a picture of her showing her missing tooth. Sick and all she was still willing to show me. :-) We are still hoping to be healthy by Saturday and get out of the house together.

My sick sick girl :-(
Cameron got to stay home today because they have to be fever free for 24 hours. He was so bored all day....lol
I hate when they are sick!

Sick, Sick, Sick

So Cameron has been sick. It started off on Saturday we were all getting ready to go do something with the family. I actually called the kids in the room to see what they would rather do. As Cam comes walking in I can tell he doesn't feel good. I take his temp and sure enough he is sick. So now we are all stuck at home. Which was fine we all just really wanted to get out. So by Sunday Cam was getting quite a bit worse. His fever spiked to 104. Today he is doing better. He has kept it down to 100.4 most of the day. I am hoping he will be back to school by Wednesday. Now if we can just skip Breanne from getting it we will be good! I am just happy to see him getting better because I am so worried about the swine flu right now.
So Sean continues to practice his photography. It always ends up that he chases us around the house trying to take pics. Sean kept bugging me to take pictures. So I finally let him but I wasn't smiling on purpose cause I was annoyed....lol. He ended up getting a pretty good picture of me so that is what I am sharing.
The video that I added is an oldie of Breanne singing happy birthday to daddy. She was 2 years old. It was Seans 30th bday. I just thought it was so cute the way she was singing it. Well she is my kid so I think everything is cute. Also check out Cameron being a bull in the background...lol. I guess that was his awesome dance to Breanne's awesome singing. Anyway I just found it the other day and thought it would be a good one to share.

Breanne has a crush!!

So my mom was asking Breanne if she had a boyfriend. Her response was "no but I have a crush on Aaron". So my mom came in the room to tell me that my daughter has a crush. Then my mom asks how do you know what a crush is. She says my friend Olivia has a crush on him also. Then my mom asks what does a crush mean? She says "It means Love". L-O-V-E Love. She spelled it out and everything...lol. So my 6 year old daughter is learning about love in 1st grade?!?! That just seems a little young to be having a crush. I know I am just being a mom. Why is it that boys and girls are so different? My son who is 9 doesn't even think about girls yet. Then my daughter is already talking about boys at 6. I am not ready for all of this yet!! So anyway I am ending this post with a picture of Breanne and the pumpkin she did on her lite brite.

Tumwater Falls

So last Sunday we went down to Tumwater Falls. I heard about it right after we moved to Olympia when I was looking up things to do. It was a beautiful day last Sunday and we didn't have anything to do so we decided to go check it out. It ended up being a great day to go!! The colors were so pretty with it being fall. Sean got some awesome pictures of the water fall and we also got some pics for our Christmas cards. Those I will not be sharing until we send them out. We ended up being there for over 2 hours which I totally didn't expect. I thought it would be a waterfall. We would go there look and go home. Well it is this whole trail that walks you down the river and several areas of the trail there are more falls. It is just so pretty. Anyway, I wanted to share the pics with you all. It was a great family day. :-)

More pictures

I had some pictures the other day that I didn't get to post so I wanted to take a minute now and post them. Sean has some swords that his brother got him from Japan a long time ago. Well Cam was a ninja for Halloween. So Sean gave Cam one of the swords and took some pictures. Well Cameron got really into it....lol. It was funny!
