Being Educated by an Eleven Year Old

My Gavin is an encyclopedia of various odd facts. Today he told me about a toothpick fish...have you heard of one? More importantly he told a terrifying tale of what could happen if you are a man that happens to be swimming in the Amazon River and decided to pee. I couldn't believe him so I had to come home and google it. This is what I found. Ok...so he was right.

What do you mean....

you won't be my valentine?

I found this one last night when looking for the Gavin photo for the iheartfaces photo contest.

Tonight was madness of homework catch up. Gavin is going to his first dance tomorrow. American Idol is on...and Macey still has her little book to read.

p.s. don't you love her stuffed mouse. It is a Jelly Cat stuffed animal. Google them and see where you can find one near you. They are so super cute and soft!

p.s.s. these photos are from 2008, only three quick years ago!

This week's photo theme is "hearts". I knew I had these photos somewhere and when I found them and saw how much my son had grown in such a few short years...the theme was very appropriate!



Talk about melting my heart. Tonight I took him to the hallmark store so he could pick out a few special valentines for girls.

This is what capturing images is all about. Capture the moments in the here and now..because they are gone so quickly! My little valentine is trying to be Romeo..except for the fact that he is still very much an eleven year old boy that doesn't always feel the need to use soap! Maybe I can use this to my advantage for a little while longer.

A winter’s break

School out again today! Tomorrow it will be a week. This weekend was crazy with my bank’s awards banquet on Saturday, and the Bridal Show I attended with Moore Photography yesterday. With all of that work my kids got spend a weekend with Grammy and Papa! Grammy took these photos of the kids and their snowmen. The vote is still out on who’s snowman was the “Best!”

Snow Days

My kids are getting cabin fever. The cold weather doesn't even faze them. Gavin has been sliding across our ice covered yard for the last two days.

Ice

Our Tree Henry

Yes, this tree has a name...and is not handling the ice very well. I just took these to show my husband. I will venture out and take good pics today of all the ice to post later. Just hope it doesn't hurt our house...or Macey little house either!
