Odessa, supermodel

Here's a link to Odessa's modeling debut. I think she rather enjoyed it.

I'm supposed to choose a favorite picture so they can send me an 8x10. Which do you think?
Also, I'm going to take Lily and Ella in and give them a test shoot to see if they like it. The lady already said she'd start Ella with dresses if that's what she likes :)
I forgot to post something funny before. A few days ago, Bob was doing some questions with the girls and he asked, "Why did God make you and all things?" The answer is supposed to be, "for His own glory." But Ella took poetic liberties and answered, "To SNUGGLE!"

Links

Hey, I just added some links to my page. You should check them out! LeRoy, could you email me your website again, please? That is if you don't mind me adding it. Oh, and Linnea said you like talk radio--you must check out the American View link.

here we go again

now that I've cooled off (and had some help from my husband) I'm going to try posting another picture.
HEY!! IT WORKED!!

So here is Bob's snowman, with the girl's help, of course.
And also, a tea party with grandma. Quite messy, but you can't tell that in the pictures!
I can't figure out how to arrange these the way I want, so I guess it will just be a hodge-podge collection.
The picture of Ella with the things on her feet--That's just one of those Ella Ideas she gets. THe things are rolled up auto shades.

Pictures again

Just a quick test. I'm continually trying to find a less complicated way to get pictures on the blog because usually I have to try really hard not to bash the computer or cry. I guess I'd better go to bed SINCE IT DIDN'T WORK. GRAAAAAAAHHHHHH

The rest of what I couldn't fit in the last post

This is Ella in our stockings. Wonder what she'll do when there's five of them!











A picture from my parent's property in MT

Back from Montana

Mike is back from Marine boot camp. For some reason, the only picture I got of him is when he was eating something.






Ethan's first sled ride




















The first thing we did when we got home from Montana was turn the heaters up and Bob bundled the girls up on the couch. Ella said, "I'm all bumbled up!" It was snowing and cold!
We got our Christmas tree up. I will post pictures as soon as the rest of the house is clean enough to take a picture.

Thanksgiving

We are headed to Montana tomorrow for Thanksgiving. The girls are so excited! We get to see my brother, Mike, who is just finished with Marine boot camp. Also, I get to do Christmasy things with my mom right after Thanksgiving, which I haven't gotten to do for some years.
Here is a picture of Odessa with her toy we call her "snuggle bear." She likes to hug my hand when I give her pacifier to her at bed time, so I have to replace my hand with something when I want to let her go to sleep. Thanks for her snuggle bear, Wade!
She rubs the bear across her face and closes her eyes. At some point the bear and the plug get tossed aside, but still, it's cute while it lasts!
