The Adventures of Kaydence and Ahria.

Go, go , go little man!!!
Double click on picture to enlarge!
These pictures are for anyone wondering what I accomplished in the last five days....NOTHING!! Little boy wonder and his amazing little sister came for a visit and as you can see they were very busy. Kaydence does not let time stand still , he is one busy little man. And you know, I love every minute of it. This was the first extended visit for Ahria and she did pretty well. The first three days were a breeze but the last two she got a little homesick for her mommy and daddy but still overall I was impressed with her new found independence. Luckily for the Antley girls their cousins got to be my models . Anyone who knows me very well knows that I think a camera and kids go together like peanut butter and jelly so here are just a couple of the pictures I took of the dynamic duo. As you can see Kaydence really adores his sister, she is the perfect target for both his affection and his naughtyness! When he is not loving her he is bugging the daylights out of her. But for the most part he really looks after her.
Do they not look like little angels here.
Just thought this picture was cool!
Now that I have updated my blog I can get back to work. Next blog I will update everyone on Sharae's and my new adventures into the land of retail. Stay tuned.

okay, get ready everyone!

I am babysitting Kaydence and Ahria and will have pictures and an update of all my fun soon! Stay posted, believe me a three year old has quite a lot to say, probably a lot more than he should. This blog update will happen of course, as long as I survive the five days and four nights.

More Easter pictures of the big kids.

A rare picture of Jaden. This is Easter Sunday, but we also celebrated his twenty- sixth birthday since the family was all together. I find it hard to believe that he is that old I still so clearly remember him as a little boy with the mischievous smile that got him out of a lot of trouble. He is a wonderful son and so loving and loyal towards his whole family. I feel very blessed that he is my son.


I had some fun at Easter taking pictures of the kids. The above pictures are of our sweet Kelly, Colton's girlfriend of over two years. (Don't tell anyone, but we like her more than we like Colton). Kelly showed up as we were taking pictures of the little kids and so of course she became our next model, like it or not. I must say her pictures turned out so cute (this is just a couple of quite a few, the top one is my favorite and the bottom one is Kelly's favorite) and she was a good sport about doing them. I do find taking pictures of a sixteen year old a lot easier than doing the little kids. Kelly is a very important part of our family and she adds a lot of fun to any special occasion. Colton is not allowed to ever break up with her!





Here of course is my little grouch! He, unlike Kelly, was not a good sport about having his picture taken. Thank heavens for our Crystal, she managed to get a smile out of him for us. I think he was pouting because Easter Bunny couldn't come until everyone arrived. But I love the pictures and think they are so cute. I don't know why my big kids don't like their pictures taken..maybe I took too many when they were little. The girls of course, always say, just wait until I have makeup on, or just wait until I have lost this baby fat (they need to quit getting pregnant or I will never get any pictures of them). Colton and Doug just don't like pictures taken, Jaden at least will let me take a few as long as I don't get carried away. And heaven knows, I can get carried away once I get my hands on a camera and willing subject. Sadly for me, my willing subjects are getting fewer and fewer, but I think I still can bribe Tasia with chocolate, actually that probably might work for a few others I know of.
Boy that was a close call, I almost lost this post! And believe me that would not be great as it takes me awhile to do these.
