Ahead of Schedule!

Well I have to say I am quite proud of myself. I have pretty much completed my 2011 collage! This is so impressive because I just finished my 2010 collage a couple weeks ago (trust me I put the pro in procrastinator)! This year I vowed that I would get it finished before I had to head back to school.

Had a wonderful Christmas filled with love, laughs and the enjoyment of having young kids! I hope to post the Nichols Top 20 of 20-11 tonight so stay posted!

Of course don't think I would not let you off the hook so easy...I am still my indecisive self so I can't decide if I like black or white better...what do you think? Whatever I choose I pretty much have to stick with and since I have just completed my 2010 I haven't gotten it printed yet...so I can change it to black if needed...HELP!!!!

I {heart} holidays!!!

Now if I can get my house cleaned from top to bottom I would be a be all grown up!

10 Reasons Anesa

Finally finised and ordered my 10 Reasons Books...this is a pretty big deal for this gal! Thanks again for everyone who helped me!

10 Reasons Rowyn

Well...I am finally ALMOST finished the girls books...I have decided to give them to the girls for Valentine's Day! Thanks for that idea Melissa! Also thanks to Melissa Speelman from FrecklePhotoBlog for your patience in answering all my silly questions and for inspiring to try many of your cool photo projects! I am so having trouble with the frame that I want to put on Rowyn's cover page. It is a png file and I have no idea how to get rid of the background so that I can use it over a few layers (if that makes any sense?!!?).

I sure hope Ro loves this! I can't wait to read it to her at bedtime!!!! I printed the books at PhotoCanada (they had a great sale and actually the program was super easy for a custom format). There was a couple cm that are cut off from the edge of the picture so that is why the numbers are in from the edge of the page.

What do you think?

Love you Ro Ro M Jo!

Freeze Frame!

With 2011 soon coming to a close I figured I should get my 2010 collage finished so it can take me a year to get my 2010 collage done ;) Here is a snapshot of 2 years ago! I hope to get my 2011 done before 2012! I love these as I find it sooo cool to look back and see how much the girls have changed and what we did that year!

you are so sweet...

Ok~so I am a million posts behind! I haven't even finished my post about Ro getting glasses!... my little girl turning 3 (mom guilt since her birthday is the day after Anesa's and Anesa's post is up)! I need to get it together and do some serious catching up!

BUT... I have finally started my Love You Because books for Christmas!

Thanks so much Jocelyn for helping me get started...so excited to finish and get them printed!
Here is a sample page from each girl...aren't I so creative...almost exactly the same lol! The rest of their books will be different I promise but those were the pics that I had handy!

What do you think? 

I will post the entire book when I am finished!

Hope to post like a mad woman this weekend! Between school, coaching, volunteer commitees and 2 girls in dance and music...I can hardly put 2 feet in front of the other at 8 pm (sad but true)! Not much happening this weekend so stay tuned! I am pretty much finished my 2010 collage (I know...just in time to start my 2011 but I will have it done by the end of January...already starting my list of 10000 resolutions ;)!!

Rabbits, Frogs and Giggles!

Thanks so much for putting up with my craziness! I had a blast! Hope we got a few keepers!

Anesa's 5!

Honestly! Where has the time gone it feels just like yesterday that I brought you home from the hospital and you were so, so tiny!

Now you are 5!

Long gone are the days of sitting up on your own, taking your first steps and saying your first words!  They have been long replaced by days without training wheels, first days of preschool, coloring in the lines and writing your own name! Each time I focus on the past you are a constant reminder to me to live in the now because every "step" you take has been just as amazing as your first!  Thanks so much for the ride Anesa Shae!

Happy 5th Birthday Little Frog!!!

Life's short...

Play hard...

Baby B!

Welcome to the world Breckin! You are adorable!

Pumpkins

Did a maternity/family shoot today and we just had to use pumpkins! 


It was so windy and bright but everyone was so patient and the kids were so good!  I have a great time,  Thanks Tiffany!  Enjoy your last weeks of pregancy!
