Pictures

It's time for more pictures! I had buried my computer in the office when I was working on painting and remodeling the back entryway/office so I finally dug my computer out and moved it to the Echo room. I seem to only use it for blogging and listening to Pandora anymore anyway. So here are some pictures from the past month.

This is one of my favorite pictures!

It's the mannequins at Old Navy with an added bonus......

Sophia in her pink coat in the middle :)

Davey, Sophia and Allison

(Sophia's half-siblings on her bio dad's side)

They gave her this little art table for Christmas.

I can't resist taking her picture when she's sleeping.

Brittney placing at a gymnastics meet.

Because of her foot injury, she wasn't able to compete most of the season.

This was the final competition and she competed on vault and bars.

Even with no practice for most of the season, she still placed in both events.

Brittney, Sam and Ashlynn

This is Brittney's 'other family'.

Riley first real basketball game.

He's the one in white at the bottom right.

Ben, Sophia, Riley and Mommy Rachel swimming at Sophia's 3rd birthday party.

Blowing out the candles!

Kids having fun swimming at the party.

We were excited to have lots of Sophia's bio family at the party too.

Her mom, aunts, uncle and cousin's came to help celebrate Sophia day.

My girls!!!

This is what I found written on the tub late last night after Taylor got in trouble.

It's a long story but the short version is that Taylor got on my nook earlier and we had a serious discussion about it. I wasn't going to take her to the party I was going to yesterday afternoon but after what I thought was a sincere apology from her, I showed mercy and took her with me.

Then in the evening, I caught Taylor on my nook again! Apparently she hadn't learned her lesson. So I sent her to bed and she had to miss popcorn & family movie night last night. I guess she wasn't exactly in bed the whole time because she left this note in the bathroom.

In case you can't read it, it says "Kill Mom".

Fortunately, it's written in bathtub crayons that will wash off.

And finally, here's a picture of our back entryway.

We've gotten a little more done so the kids now have space for all their winter gear.
