Michelle's 2 year old Photoshoot (March 2017)

These are Michelle's 2 year old photos, though not really any awesome ones, she is still a cutie.

My parents new HOUSE!!!!!

Here are pictures of my parent's new house, though I may have already posted some of these, but that is ok, it is worth it.

I don't know if I ever thought my mom would actually have a home but I am SO happy that she does.

The basement isn't done yet, but it is mostly for the grandkids anyways:)

Michelle's Pigtails

I don't always take the time to do Michelle's hair but when I do, she sure looks even more cute.

This isn't the first time I have done pigtails but she is adorable!!

She also loves her little bench that she sits on when she watches a show. 

She is kind of hard to capture sometimes.

I also am lazy to pull out the good big camera to take pictures. That has a better lens than my camera but the camera is usually closer and sometimes faster.

Matthew & Allison's Piano Duets

I love seeing the talent these kids are developing....though I don't love all the grief I get during lessons AND when it comes to practicing.....BUT they LOVE to show off:)

Almost 2

Man, we sure have fun with this little one around.

She is sort of the life of the party, most of the time and she is who everyone looks for. I am so glad she is apart of our family. We love her to pieces. We love watching her learn all these new little things like pockets and her "belbows" it is so cute listening to her say elbow, or having her say "watch why".... meaning she wants to watch Super Why. She is starting to say lots of words but unless you know the context of what she is doing you can't understand them very well.

She is just too cute to handle:)

Girlies

Michelle was SOO adorable on the plane. I finally figured out this whole flying with a toddler business. Usually the plane isn't completely full so I was able to get the seat next to me open. This little one was so cute just sitting in her seat and eating her crackers and cheese.

Allison was very happy to have Michelle and I back. Though I am not sure who she missed more, Michelle or I.....I actually think she missed Michelle more but she won't actually admit that to me:) She just adores her little sister.

Allison got invited to a Valentine's party just for the girls in her class. She had a fun time and just loves being around friends.

Here is a sweet little baby that you can tell she had been crying. I don't remember why but she is still smiling for the camera.

My "home" growing up

I don't remember if I have shared these pictures or not but if not, here are some of the pictures I have of my "house" growing up without running water.



I was never proud of where we lived but now that they have a new house I am ok with sharing these pictures.

Here is the link of pictures of the trailers.....where I grew up with no running water.

Last September, my mom had an electrical cord running from somewhere outside to inside the front door that had a whole in the bottom so that the fridge could be plugged in. When she wnated to use the microwave, she unplugged the fridge and plugged the microwave in the extension cord coming in from a different area for a lamp. One burner worked on her stove.

The following album has picture from a long time ago, and then starting with the snowy one, that is from when I was just up there, they have taken some stuff out already but lots of stuff needs to just get burned. You don't appreciate the new house as much unless you have seen the old place.
