Calista in June 2008

They're on Wheels!

Ursula on her uncle Jason's mini 4-wheeler.

Calista riding our neighbor's dirt bike :)

They both had such a good time on those bikes :) Don't worry, they were going slow.

Ursula's First Loose Teeth

Excuse her dirty hands... lol The kids are always playing outside.
Anyways...
Yes, she lost 2 teeth at once!
Her dad helped them out... because her big teeth were already out behind them!!!

She thanked her dad the next day for pulling her teeth out :)

Little Guitar Hero

Calista got every note on that song (on easy) :D She was so psyched :D hehe

Calista on March 21st, 2008

I was in a picture taking mood:D
Ursula declared that she didn't want to take any... so, I didn't take any of her... well, I took one of her... not so great... she was squinting because of the sun and had her arms covering most or half of her face.

Anyways... here's my photogenic child, Calista :)
I enjoy taking her pictures because she usually listens. She'll hold her head where I put it or where I tell her to put it/look.
Cropped and in Sepia of above picture:

Notice the band-aid on her forehead? yeah... She busted her head coming the wrong way down off of the bunk bed.

Cropped and in black & white of above pic:

Cropped & put into Sepia of above pic:

Cropped version of above:

This one is how Calista wanted to enhance its color:

And in Sepia:

And just think... how much better pictures I can take with a working camera... :D
Yes, I'm still using the one with no flash :((
So, all outside pictures and no inside candid ones... or sweet, sleeping ones...

Recent Pictures of Urusla since Halloween

See the pink around her eye? That's her putting on make-up...

Hanging around :) Yes, all 3 of my kids are monkeys :)

Ursula with our newest kitten (this little guy just showed up at our house last Monday and he's soooo sweet!).

And my favorite of Ursula as of late :)

Recent Pictures of Calista since Halloween

Skating at her Aunt Angele's house in November.

Cute outfit, huh? Size 7/8. :D Fits Ursula too... LMAO
While we were at Angele's, we went through some clothes they had there from Cherie. Cherie's gotten lots of stuff from the community to help with losing all that she did in her house fire. Some of the clothes were too big for Olivia (5 yrs old and narrow like Calista) so, I was able to get some new stuff for my girls :)

Look at the biceps on this child!
She may be skinny, but she's not bony!!!

Still likes hanging around :)

This is one of my favorite pictures of her of recent.

Happy Halloween!

Well, after receiving the costumes from eBay, we decided to not wear what was planned. Calista's, even though it was labeled a size 7/8, was really short; even on her! So, Ursula wore it instead, along with the shoes; they were a little big for her, she didn't care... she had been wearing them around the house anyways. The costume for Ursula fit okay... but, again, the length just seemed too short. Maybe they were supposed to be that short, but I guess I just rather Princess dresses longer. So, Calista wore the same costume she wore last year; good thing it fit her still!

The actual time we spent trick-or-treating was probably 45 min and then the lights were out :( But, the kids came back with a good bit of candy... way more than they need... believe me! So, Jeremy & I will help them eat it... :D

Ursula also decided she didn't want to wear her wig so, Calista did.

You can see in this first picture to the left her true feelings... I finally got her to smile for this picture to the right.

Halloween 2007

This year, the girls want to be princesses... again... LOL

So, I went to eBay and found a couple of costumes.

Ursula will be Sleeping Beauty (aka Aurora). A long blonde wig is also included :D woohoo

New with tags

Cost me a total of: $13.75
The Buy-It-Now price was $24.99 plus s&h.

Calista will be Cinderella :D

Her costume comes with a headband and shoes.

Cost me a total of: $15.70

There were so many pretty and well made costumes... but, its not like I have THAT much extra money to spend on them. What's cool is that this was bought totally by me. It had NOTHING to do with Jeremy. I was able to buy them because of all of the surveys I do that pay money. They send the money to my Paypal account.

Oh, I'm bidding on a prince outfit for Wyatt... I figured if the girls are princesses, he should be a prince :D If I don't win it and can't find another one... I'll see about getting him a frog costume. :D

Crazy Girl

Yes, she's my crazy kid...

If she's not doing something silly with her mouth, like lining her teeth right on top of one another or jutting her lower jaw out... she's doing something crazy with her eyes... LOL But, yes, it gets a tad bit fustrating when I really want to get some updated pictures of her.

The Girls in October

Picture quality isn't here due to my broken camera... sucks that just because of the flash, I can't take as good of pictures anymore... even if the flash wouldn't have been required.
Also, in these pictures, I had put a little mascara and lip gloss on the girls :D
Of course, the background is no good either :D
