Mom is being creepy

That's what they wanted me to call this post. I'm not sure why. I was only stalking them in Natalie's bedroom.

Two of the sisters spent the afternoon hanging out (and baking!). One spent it in the backyard weeding and earning money.

I love you

Because she can

 

My ballerina taking off her bootie over her head... You would too if you were that flexible.  

A rare moment

All 3 in one place.  It's rare for the girls and for the boys.

Cats and fire

We all love the fireplace!

The winter garden! (2015-2016)

I'm not sure I blogged the planting over here... Click here to see the planting in November.

Never met a fallen tree they didn't like

 

The best thing about mud boots

Mom doesn't care if we wade through puddles... (In fact she encourages it and does it herself when she is wearing her boots.)

Second pair

 

Kira and I went to the city and got these!  Miracle Grishkos.  Fun fun!

Presenting in class

 

I was volunteering in Tia's class and got to see her present a video she and a classmate made.

Having fun!

Coale likes Nat's Toys

 
  

Natalie's friends know she loves her kitty friends and they give her kitty toys as presents.  Coale thinks this one is interesting.... It is battery operated and moves on it's own.  Coale is a mighty hunter.

so cool! Nat's birthday present from Grandma K.

 

Grandma K is so talented! So amazing!

Bluejay

 

Natalie got a great shot of this bluejay coming in for some peanuts.

Pizza with 7

 

Last night.... Of course, Tia is ducking down behind Kira.  

Happy Birthday

Our 14 year old.  We love you, Natalie!

Crossing a stream

The creak crosses over the hiking trail, or is it that the hiking trail crosses the creek?

Party (Midnight!)

Happy 2016!

 

 

 

 

 

We go to a super fun New Years Party where the girls and their friends have the time of their life.  Thank, Julie!  

(Yes, they stay up until midnight and they love it! They have for 3 or 4 years... Before that they probably would have but we didn't go out to parties on NYE.)
