Fishing

 A couple weeks ago we got to go to our Uncle's farm and go fishing! Something we haven't done in forever! We had a lot of fun and the girls caught lots of fish (even more than the boys:P)

James, the little fisherman.

Annalise's first fish, she was pretty much disgusted.

He blended right in with the grass:D

Well that's the pictures I have for now:) Have a great week!

Oliver:D

  Well its over now. I guess I don't have to tell you all again that I'm going into depression:P It was so wonderful to finally be part of a Fine Linen show! I will FOR SURE be trying out for their next one! Here are some memories from the show!

Megan, Tess, and I all had an overall day! It was so fun:D I think we can totally pull of the "farm girl" look, no?

Consider yourself! 

These two snagged my camera a took some pictures while I was away:D The funny part is I didn't find out until days later!

I love 'em

I made a great new friend in Oliver-Jantzen!! She is AWESOME and I love her!

Another friend I made-Marti! The SUPERB drummer that always said hi and wore some AWESOME hats;)
Well thats pretty much all the pics I got....I was so busy talking the whole time (probably why I lost my voice....:P)

WALT DISNEY MOVIES!!- Pocahontas

   There's just something wonderful about going back and watching old Walt Disney movies when your a teenager! When my brothers and I were little Walt Disney movies were the thing to watch, we had seen pretty much all of them, many times. Now, sadly, many kids, including my little sisters, have seen only a few if any! Recently, Netflix has been putting tons of the old Walt Disney movies on instant play! Last night we watched Pocahontas with the girls and it was still awesome! I had forgotten so much of it, such as the awesome music!! Next we are going to try watching Mulan and Dumbo. NONE OF US HAVE EVER SEEN DUMBO!!!!! Horrible, I know! So go watch a Walt Disney movie with you little sibilings if you have any, if not, well grab some popcorn and sing your heart out with the movie:D Have a great day!

Happy new year!

Happy New Year to all of you! Thank you all for following my blog faithfully even when I did not post anything for a while:D May the new year bring you health, happiness, and laughter!!

Christmas is Coming!!!!

 Here it is. The annual decorating of the Christmas tree! Its one of my favorite things about Christmas, our funny little ornaments, all of which hold some sort of memory:) Every kid has a bag full of THEIR special ornaments (or in Jake's case, a box, of which he likes to point out every year:) And slowly, we put them on the tree while listening to Christmas music. It always turns out a little lop-sided because of all the ornaments crammed in the front (well nobody likes theirs in the back!) but I rather like it. Hope you enjoy these pictures!

Here come the lights!

Ta-da! The lights are working then....

Here come the ornaments

And of course the tree topper!

"Later on, we'll conspire, as we dream by the fire....."
Have a WONDERFUL Christmas!

Looking back on Little women

*sigh* Well its over and done with. Little Women was by far my favorite play to be in (ok maybe I am a little bias because I some supper cool skirts and a wicked sword) that is, so far....:) Here is a little memento of our Little women days. It was literally the most beastly play ever! and I was obsessed with it:) Lol.
~Lena
P.s Thanks to Megan for the awesome pic:)

What in world am I?

Kudos to you if you can guess what I am going to dress up as tonight! Post a comment if you know (Caeley you are not allowed to guess;).

Little Women Update!

Little women practices are going well, it is going to be a FANTASTIC show! I hope you all can come see it! Again, if you want to come see it click on OAT's to get tickets. Here are some pictures I took at practice, sorry they aren't the best, its hard to take good pictures because of the lighting:( 

Have a good week!

James' is 1!!!

 It’s official. My little brudder is now 1 year old. I really cannot believe it is already a year since he was born!!! Now he is crawling, *almost* walking, eating foods, and I am SURE he said my name (no laughing now ya’hear). When he was born I wasn't sure what to expect, I had had only little sisters since I could remember (I don’t remember much of when Joe was a baby). I always thought of myself as a baby girl person and I wasn't prepared for the “crazy energetic little boy” I had imagined. Boy was I wrong. He is so much more relaxed than *ehem* certain little girl babies I have knownJ He is the most wonderful little baby in the world. I assume he will not stay so relaxed once he is a toddler but I’ll try to enjoy every minute of it..:D If you will excuse me now I shall go cry in a corner...*sniffle*

   I have more posts coming!

~Lena~

This is the VERY first picture I took of him!

He got to see the Cardinals win the World Series last year!

At his Baptism

What? You are so weird!

Look at them rolls!

He's a St.Pats baby alright!

Ahh those big blue eyes

"Now wait, I'll tell you how this is gonna go...."

AWW!

His first time eating Ice Cream on his birthday! He liked it I promise!:)

The Farm

Today we went to our farm house for a couple hours and I brought my camera along. I love how these pictures turned out! 

"We can't wait to get to the creek!"

*in a singing voice* "Sisters, Sisters......"

Awww:)

Does it scare you that this was our old tree-house? (the top part, not the bottom!)
Hope you enjoyed these! Which one is your favorite?
