Cheer Time!

For the past 3 years Grace has highly anticipated the local High School Cheer camp. It's another event that she enjoys with her BFF.  I have to say that I will be shocked if her friend isn't Captain of the squad in High School because she literally heads up "cheer practice" every recess.  This year Grace really stepped the enthusiasm up.  She looked like she was having so much fun and was able to follow the big girls pretty well.  And of course we are always so proud.

 

True Dat!

So sometimes I spend time surfing photography websites.  There's always something to learn and improve on.  So lately I've been admiring various photographers black and white images.  I ask myself how in the heck are they getting their images to look so great.  So I found this tutorial on how to get how to get true black and white images.  Here's my attempt.

Valentine's Do

We've been really busy lately with daddy's inspection.....so yesterday I thought we would all take a little nap.  Well at least mommy and Nathan got a nap.  Gracie, Elijah, and Micah woke up before me and decided to make Valentines for mommy.  It was a wonderful surprise except for the fact that Micah also decided to give himself a haircut.  It was bad enough I regretfully had to buzz his whole hair. It has taken us quite a while to grow out his beautiful locks....so as you can imagine I was not very happy.  I didn't even have it in me to take a picture of the do.  But here's the after pic.  I will say I was pretty impressed with their Valentines!  Gracie's was pretty creative I thought.  And Elijah is pretty good at drawing hearts and cutting them out.  A skill that will come in handy when he is wooing his wife I think.

She loves 'em

For the past couple of months Grace had complained of headaches and that her eyes were blurry sometimes.  So we thought we should take her in and get her eyes checked out.  Turns out that her eyes aren't super bad....but definitely could use a little help when her eyes get tired.  So we ended up ordering some glasses on zennioptical that were really really cheap.  In fact they were so cheap that we got her a couple pairs.  She has been waiting for 2 weeks for them to arrive and today was the day!  It's a little strange that my daughter thinks glasses are super cool.  Might be cause she wants to be like mommy and mommy has glasses.  I don't know just a shot in the dark. At any rate she should model for Lenscrafters cause she's rockin the smarty pants look.
