Body Art Ada Style

And once again, Ada found a way to do body art...oh the joys of markers!

Ada's Curls

Being aware that my opinion is probably a little bit biased, I have to share that I think Ada has the most beautiful ringlet curls I have ever seen. I took these pictures the other night after her hair had dried from her bath. I love that they go all curly on their own!

Playing with Socks

Ever since Ada was a baby she has been obsessed with feet...and with the things that go on them. She steals shoes, slippers and socks from everyone in the house and loves to wear them. She thinks it is very funny! She put on a pair of Dan's socks the other night and was dancing around the living room with them. It was very cute...albeit a bit strange!

Shopping for Jet Skis

Dad has hat Jet Skis on the brain for months, and to be very honest Mom is surprised she has held off a purchase this long! He has been shopping craigslist, the classified ads and of course our local motor sports showroom.

Today he took the girls to check out the showroom and they both seemed right at home on the stand-up water bikes. Dad captured these pictures with his cell phone and then told mom "See, they would know exactly what to do if we bought these!" Mom has the feeling she is going to get outnumbered on this decision too.....

More Photo Shoot Pictures

Here are a couple more headshot pictures from my photo shoot with Paul at Blackbird Portraits. I had a really good time taking a couple of hours for "me time" and am very pleased with the results of the shoot. Thanks again Paul!

Sleepy Sisters

Dan got these pictures in his truck the other day with his cell phone....both girls were completely passed out! They must have had a long day of play at Mary Jeans!

Dads Gamer Girls

Today Dad and both of his girls had some Xbox time together. Ada took her turn with the controller too and did a really good job. Tehya was very nice and helped her little sister with the buttons when it was her turn. Mom is for sure out numbered with this deal - three against one in favor of video games!

Grandma Diane has Brain Surgery

Grandma Diane stopped by for a visit Saturday afternoon and the girls had her go downstairs to play right away. Mom went down to switch a load of laundry and found that Tehya was performing "brain surgery" on Grandma. She said that half of Grandma's brain needed to come out for fixing and that it would only be 700 weeks of recovery. Ada was Tehya's assistant and did a great job of handing the pretend medical tools to surgeon Tehya.

We hope you had a wonderful day.

We were thinking about you and wishing that we could be in person to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY GG!

"Finger" Painting

This afternoon while Mom was grocery shopping and Dad was cleaning upstairs the girls decided to play downstairs. They were apparently feeling a bit on the creative side because Tehya climbed up the bookshelf in their playroom (scary!) and got the finger paints down. The girls did more than paint us a picture though - they painted the futon, the end table and some of the floor too! We couldn't help but smile...Tehya painted a beautiful picture and Ada painted most of her face! We also had to giggle when we saw the little Ada footprints painted on the floor!
