This is the first day of first grade. Taken in front of my room. You can look back at last years to see how much she has grown. I think I am going to do this every year. She picked out her own outfit. Of course her daddy took her to school, and walked her to class on the first day. He did not take near as many pictures as he did last year.

Izzy in First Grade

Izzy with Ms. Orr at open house.

This is her cubby.

Ms. Orr's amazing pink reading chair. It is Izzy's favorite thing in the room.

Her new desk. Last year they had tables.

Chase and Izzy took swim lessons this year. Chase did a great job, he even jumped off of the diving board. Izzy can even swim under water, much better than last year when she would not even go under.


Chase especially loved the goggles. He wanted to change every time he crossed the pool.



Izzy swimming with Laney and the kickboard.



Cami begged to go in the water. She loved it. I had to hold her back a few times I let her step off the last step and she just came out and went back in.


The three of them, very excited about swimlessons. Chase was kinda upset, because he wanted to see Mrs. Kim's dog. He loves that big dog.

Motherlode Crafty Momma

Hey guys just wanted to share this e-mail I received from Motherlode.com. Basicly brag that someone bragged about my kids. I love their website and think every mom in NWA should also join/visit. I have their link under friends and family. I had e-mailed some pictures of Izzy's ladybug costume, to try to win a gift from signed sealed and delivered.

Hi, Leah! This is absolutely adorable. I'm so impressed! I just looked at your blog and may I say your children are GORGEOUS.

Hope you have a fabulous Friday!

Thanks Grandad and Grandmother for coming to eat cupcakes with us!

Happy Birthday to Cami, Happy Birthday to Cami...

Cami wanting to eat her cupcake!

Mom Nel aka Grandmother, bought her a bee balloon and she loved every minute of it until it was popped!

She really loved the attention of everyone in the restraunt. Especially when they said, "Today is Cami's Birthday."

We ate lunch at Logan's. Cami really enjoyed when the Logan crew gave her a big yee haw!

My kids are the greatest!

These are a few of our Easter pictures. These are the ones that Justin was considering putting in his portfolio. They are amazing.

These are a couple more of our family pictures that were taken.

Chase our boy!!

I love this picture of us.

He was throwing rocks and I was talking him into getting into the water. Well really just giving him permission.


Ched and Chase


I really like this picture. Again just shows Justin's skills.


He may jump?


Come on mom, really look how adorable I am.

Isabella-Wow is she beautiful

Izzy also loved splashing in the water.


This is my favorite in the water. She looks like and is having a good time.


Ok, when did she get so big?


She is 6 right? She is totally beautiful.


Loved posing for the camera.


Ched and his Sweet Pea. Yes that is one of the reasons I loved the song at the bottom, and my mom used to sing it to me when I was little.

Cami's almost two! So 2year old pictures.

Cami loved playing. We were all headed to the trees and water, and she wanted to slide.


We have the most beautiful little girl ever!


This is one of my favorites, Ok I could say that about everyone of them.


Me and Cami

Family Pictures

Our great friend, Justin Huddleston took our family pictues at the Farmington Park. Be sure to check out his blog americatobrazil.blogspot.com for more pictures. He is now in Brazil and we are missing him termendiously! Thanks again Justin!

Hope you enjoy these as much as I do.


Love Chase's face in this picture!



Is Cami happy about taking this picture?



This one is my favorite. I love the ripples in the water. Cami did not want to get out of the water. When we were at Aubrey and Ava's birthday she begged to get in. We really were laughing at something I just don't remember what.



These were the hardest to take you would get one looking and then the others would not. I really just like the playing pictures the best!



Well Izzy and Chase have down that fake smile!!



I think this one is my favorite of the kids.



Cami did not want to sit down.
