A Warm Evening

Last Thursday was absolutely gorgeous...with a bit of wind!!  I left work a little early to pick up Ali from detention, ran and got Kynedy and her daycare was having a fundraiser so we picked up spaghetti dinners; which allowed us more time outside.  So the girls headed to the park as I finished picking up the house, then I was out the door. I ran into a friend and visited with her on her porch swing with the girls.  Then Kynedy and I walked around the park and enjoyed being outside, the park was so busy this evening it was great to see the kids out playing. 

This Week

As I said earlier this time of the year is slow for me (at least a couple weeks) so this week we visited my mother for her birthday, did some much needed housework, made some good food :) and just hung around the house in the evening.  Today it is going to be around 70 and I am so excited!!!  I hope soon I am posting pictures of all the spring flowers. On Tuesday I brought home a huge box of legos leftover from a contest and the girls have had a ball making stuff.  It really is amazing they had legos for years and never touched them when they were young.  Yesterday when I arrived home from work Ali had built a house, it had to take her at least an hour and it turned out great!

The night before Kynedy worked very hard making a garage and a couple of cars. 

I can't wait to see what else they create.

Kynedy wanted a bead door for her room, so for Christmas I bought her one....well we just got around to hanging them this week.  I had to take some photos of them, they kept catching my eye and are very pretty when the lights hit them.  And best of all Kynedy is very happy!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!

On Tuesday my mom turned 69!! We all got together to celebrate that evening at her house.  We ate and had cake and ice cream.  Of course my family is not too thrilled when I bring out the camera...so I had a little trouble getting pictures.  Then they seemed to be willing to let me take silly pictures of them.  This is my brother, his girlfriend Sandy and my mother.

And Ali and my sister.

You can tell Ali is my child....she is use to the camera!

Kynedy and Autumn had a great time hanging out with each other.

Down Time

That is what I call this time of year!  We have no sports going on at this time, so I have some down time.  Last week consisted of Ali's Winter Sports Awards and then all weekend Ali went to soccer referee classes, that kept me busy enough running her back and forth.  She passed her test and is now a certified soccer referee...congratulations Ali!! I was able to get some photos of her and some of her teammates at the awards ceremony.

 

Ali with the microphone.  The girls did a great job thanking their coach!

Ali with her basketball award!  Great Job Ali!!

A Little Photo Fun

I LOVE playing with my photos, but don't always have the time. So I took some time to enhance a couple of my favorite photos from this winter. I hope you enjoy :)

Great Season Lady Otters!!

Last night Ali played her last basketball game this season. It was a great game, we were up against West Vigo, we had been beaten by them twice this year. It was an on and off game, first they led then we led and then in the end they beat us by around 6 points. Ali played tough and made an awesome 3 point basket. She of course was not so thrilled they didn't win, but had a great season anyways!

This is the last picture I took and I have to say it is very interesting

Bleacher Buddies

Kynedy spends a lot of time sitting in the bleachers and.....well visiting various concession stands also!! Kynedy always seems to meet new friends and this year during basketball season she hung out with Kennah. They loved that their names were so close, and had a ball running back and forth to the concession stand and taking pictures of each other with my camera.
