Brett has enjoyed 5 seasons of soccer and looking forward to another in the Spring.
This is Dot. Here she is about 3 months. Getting bigger everyday.
This fall we discovered Lake Murray in Oklahoma. Took the jetskis and a tent and had a great time.
This is Brett's Halloween costume. He was an accident victim.
We are making the most of living where we do and the local farmer's market. This past Sunday we got 10 ct. shrimp from the gulf and some red snapper. The vendor said it is the first that she has sold in the past three months due to the oil spill. I am happy they are starting to turn things around again. Here are some photos of tonights lovely meal.
You can tell it was a bit on the cool side, but we didn't care.
This is my cousin's baby, Chloe.
This is the other sweetie, Mya. She LOVED the pool (despite the face).
We have had some amazing animal life at our pond over the past few years. Today we had a pair of mallards. The photo of the owl was taken in the light of our Christmas lights a couple of years ago.
Today I made it out to shoot some blue bonnets. The site had been suggested by my friend, Kelli. It was amazing.
This was a beautiful field on the way home. I almost liked it more than the blue bonnets.
Spring soccer has begun and I am anxious to get that perfect photo of Brett at his best. Here are a couple from the beginning of the season. More to come I hope.
Jeff and I always wonder what Kozmo does during the day when we are away. Well, last Friday Jeff had a rare day off, alone. He captured this photo of dog entertainment that Kozmo alerted him to. So the answer is, this is what Kozmo does, watches for ducks and squirrels on our fence all day when we are away.
For Jeff's birthday I planned ahead and made him the Pioneer Woman's Strawberry Shortcake Cake. I think he was pleased (I know everyone else was) and had a great birthday.
We returned to Lawrence in mid-January for a mini-vacation only to find the snow from three weeks before still there. We had lots of fun sledding on some bigger hills this time and even the big people got involved this time.
Every January I look forward to the return of a large flock of Cedar Waxwings. They come to eat all the holly berries off my tree. They are stunning and peaceful and so enjoyable. Now my January is complete!
This past week I was asked to take photos for my good friend, Grace. She just had a baby and needed some newborn photos. How fun! It was even more fun because little Juliette was awake almost the whole time. She was born at 36 weeks and was a whole 4.5 lbs. So darn cute!
We took a road trip out to the country to get photos of this spectacular site. It was amazing!
The snow was Kozmo's favorite Christmas present. What more could a furry guy ask for?
Brett was my Christmas helper this year and we took full advantage of our time off to make holiday goodies for our friends and family (and some for ourselves too).
On Christmas day we picked the fruits of our labor. After another year of babying our lemon tree it gave us these gifts. We got them off the tree just before the freeze.
