Favorite Foto Friday- "Silly"

What is it about Peter and silly glasses??!! He likes to entertain us with his silliness lately. He really has a good sense of humor for a little guy! He loves to copy what we do and pretend he is a big person. Here he was pretending to be typing on the girls computer!!

Happy Anniversary!

It was 15 years ago today that Rich and I were in Lillehammer, Norway for the Winter Olympics AND our wedding!! We stayed with his relatives while we were there and saw lots of neat Olympic events like Tanya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan (remember them?!) in Women's figure skating, and we saw Dan Jansen and Bonnie Blair win the Gold in Speed Skating. Our wedding was so special. We were married in a quaint little church that was built in 1280 and nestled in to the hills outside Lillehammer! Can you imagine a building being around since 1280!!! I wish I had pictures to post of the day but I can't find my wedding album at the moment!

For our anniversary I made this Chocolate Chip Cheesecake...maybe not as beautiful as yours, Mrs. D.,(you can see her recipe here) but not bad for me!! This is the first cheesecake I have ever made and I think it is going to be good...I've been snitching some as I made it! I also treated myself to a new camera...FINALLY!! For those who follow my blog, you've heard me complain more than once about my crappy camera. Well, there's no excuse for bad pictures anymore with my new Nikon D40! I love it already! My kids were even taking pictures of their noses to see how close into their nostrils it would zoom...disgusting but fun, I guess!

Anyway, happy anniversary to a wonderful husband and father and a very hard-working man. Rich is a great person, devout christian, and good friend to all who know him. God has richly blessed me with you. I love you honey!!!!!

The friendship award
Rules:
These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find friends and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships will be propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to five bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly- written text into the body of their award.

I nominate the following blogs to receive this award:

-Jenny: She's a fellow Minnesotan who I knew from church. They have since moved but we still follow her on her blog. She just had a beautiful baby girl!

-Mary Ann: What a sweet lady who always leaves sweet comments. She also makes the cutest handmade tutus...check them out!

-Mary: Our children were in the same foster home in Guatemala. She just started making the cutest handmade children's clothing...at a great price! Check out her fashions at her new blog...her other blog is private.

-Jill Marie: I can totally relate to her blog where she writes about life with a teenager and a toddler...we are there too!

-Tera: Such a sweet, awesome friend who designs blogs and made my Sox That Rock button for me. She's a fellow Minnesotan too!

Pizza Pete!!

This little guy is just so fun to watch! He really has a great imagination and can play by himself for long periods of time. He and Ricky are the closest of buddies too. He follows Ricky around the house and copies everything Ricky does...some nice and lots of naughty stuff!! Peter also is doing an AMAZING job with potty training at only 21 months. I think he would be completely trained if he was more verbal but his speech is slow to come. He uses the potty at least 5 times a day now! I haven't changed a dirty diaper in weeks so he consistently poops on the potty! He usually has 1 or 2 wet diapers in a day but he's is doing so well. Peter is such a joy for this family. His easy-going personality fits right in with the Type A personalities of most of the rest of this family!!! We are so lucky that he just goes with the flow...

Favorite Foto Friday-"Fake Out"

I bet that for every 10 photos I take of my kids, at least 7 of them are of fake, cheesy smiles like these! I end up delteting many and retaking tons of pictures. I REALLY need a new camera too. Mine is an older digital and takes terrible pictures..if it's even working right! Peter, at 21 months is already king of the cheesy, fake smiles. How do kids learn that so early??

Anyone have any suggestions on a good digital camera in the $200-$500 price range? Nothing too complicated though. Let me know your ideas. Blessings to you today!!!
