Makes My Heart Sing

For so long I prayed for a little a girl. A little girl with spirit and fire. A little girl to hold, squeeze and love. A little girl to share things with, go places with and teach things to. A little girl with a contagious laugh and dimples. A little girl to say "Momma", "DaDa" and "book". I am so glad that God saw fit to bless me with every single thing I prayed for.

Pretty much my favorite pic EVER!

Fun with Analise

Blazing new trails.
Pusher of plastic mowers.
Wearer of saggy jeans.
Deep thinker.

Because I have the POWER...

...I am able to post such pictures as these. The day before Christmas Eve us and the sibs had a night of Wii fun. I laughed so hard I cried at the Wii form utilized by the fam. And, since I have the power I am able to post pictures of my BIL, Steve, who absolutely had the best, well funniest, form.

Getting ready...


...here it is! Way to go, Idaho!

Here is his lovely Bride. I think she was mocking him...say it isn't soo.

Now what kind of SIL would I be if I didn't post a normal pic of them. They are expecting their first child, Claire Elise, in May.

LOVE YOU GUYS!!! Please feel free to post any pics of my Wii form as well. Oh wait, I was the only one with a camera! Bwwaaahaaahaaaa.....

Has it really been that long?

Yeah, it really has been that long! it has been 6 weeks to be exact since I posted! I could give many reasons/excuses for the lack of posting but lets just move forward! I'm all about not dwelling on the past! So here's a bunch of pics to catch up!!

This was taken a couple weeks ago.
Around Christmas sometime.
