My girls the photographers...and models






Madison and Mikaela get creative sometimes, and Madi has really started to enjoy her new camera. It is funny sometimes to see how they turn out as she doesn't have patience to wait for it to focus and actually shoot the shot she wants. They also make some of the most interesting dress up outfits--the sun was beautiful when we were taking pictures, so I thought I would share. Madison loves to make up new poses :) She is my model, actress, creative one. Mikaela is definitely an athlete and so far is happy to follow her sister in whatever she is doing! They both are so cute sometimes...I believe it is so they stay alive longer!

Less sugar diet...





So...we are trying to eat less sugar and are failing miserably! Here we are on a Friday night making caramel popcorn with only 2 cups of brown sugar!! They were soo good and the girls had a blast making them. Thanks Katrina for the awesome recipe :)

Hanging out



SO...our posts aren't nearly as exciting as living in the Caribbean, but we still have fun and want Grandma and Grandpas to know what we are up to. This is yet another way my girls get o so creative with their boring mother!

Home School


This is Madison's "body" from our home school creation. Michelle has the best ideas (I claim none of this creativity!) There is a brain on top, painted bones underneath and then the arteries and veins. So cool. In the background you can see our attempt at recreating Matisse (a famous artist) and our calendar that is struggling to be kept current.

Costume Creations



We went to Jasper's birthday party and it was one where you got to dress up in your favorite costume...well! Mikeala was a fairy and Madison created her own princess, fairy type thing. This is what she decided to do with her hair! She is so creative! Must get it from her Grandma Diana :)

"Married" girls


When my girls dress up they like to say they are getting married--then they are "married" girls. It is really cute; it is nice to have them at home and to get to do so many fun things with them. I love being a mom.
