Some Misc Pics from 2011

Christmas Pictures 2011

We ventured out to Jetton Park at Lake Norman and I took the kids Christmas pictures this year.....

One of my favorite pictures from the day.....Jason was teaching the kids how to skip rocks on the lake.

Taylor's Christmas Concert

So, it has been a long, long time since I have updated this old blog. Sorry folks for the delay :)

Taylor had her Christmas concert at school last week. Her class played a couple songs on their recorders. She looked so pretty in her Christmas dress and they all did a wonderful job!!

And a side note from the evening......

Just after the performance began, Owen started to throw a huge temper tantrum. When Owen gets upset, he kicks his shoes off. So, as I picked him up to take him out to the hallway, he kicked off one of his shoes and it hit a man in the head who was kneeling down taking pictures of his child. I took a couple more steps toward the door and Owen kicked off his other shoe, which hit the same man in the head, again! Once we got to the hallway, Owen screams at the top of his lungs "I wet my pants!" It was so embarrassing! And I missed the entire performance....I was so bummed. Luckily, Jason got to watch the show and he said Taylor and her classmates did an excellent job!

New Pic

Took the kids to the park today while Jason completed massive amounts of homework. This one is my favorite pics of the day!

The Fountain at Birkdale Village

Took the kids to the fountain today to cool off and give Jason some quite time to study. They had a blast and I had fun taking pictures!

New pics....

I took the kids out to Latta Plantation Nature Preserve last weekend to scope out some areas to take Senior Pictures for a family friend of ours. I am excited to get some practice in and hope the pics turn out well. Here are a couple pictures from our trip.

I left Owen in the bathroom for literally two seconds to grab a towel out of the very nearby closet, and Owen decided to climb into the bathtub with all of his cloths on. Socks and all- he thought it was pretty funny. I wanted to be upset, but had to laugh!

Father Daughter Dance

Jason took Taylor to her first Father/Daughter Dance. They looked so cute! Got their picture taken at the dance and had a wonderful time! Here's a picture of them before they left.

Discovery Place

Today was a teacher workday at Taylor's school, so I took the day off of work and we headed to the Discovery Place. It was so much more fun this visit because it wasn't crowded. This place is so cool, so many awesome exhibits for the kids to explore! They have a grocery store, restaurant, fire truck, doctors office, construction site and water zone- just to name a few. I took these pictures with my cell phone, so they aren't wonderful- but I think you can see how much fun they had.

Flying the plane together.

Up, up and away!

Owen insisted that his big sister fly with him.
