new MENTOR? yes, please.

Today while surfing the "world-wide-web"

I inadvertently stumbled across this 

OUTTA THIS WORLD blog!!!!

And I have now deemed it worthy of mentor status  :)

You just gotta hop on over here and enjoy this morsel of fabulousness

go ahead...

                    it's on me ;)

it's photos like this that remind me why I got into photography.

what an amazing and inspiring business it is.

the "Homeschool Phenomena"

has been going on in our house for quite a while now...

it's when the older children teach the younger

and it is so cool to watch!

HAPPY 2011!!!

On New Years Day we had my brother & sister-in-law and my parents

over to play games, open gifts, eat LOTS of hors d'oeuvres 

and watch a movie together.

Everyone had so much fun and did GREAT testing out Johan's 

new game he got for Christmas!
although it got a bit more competitive than expected  ;)

 My hubby doing what he does best:

STRATEGY

 Zian was really into it and concentrating hard on her next move!

and sometime during the evening

we found Jonah like this (uh oh!)

he was very happy to be there!

Growing Crystals

Johan and Zian did this fun experiment together 

a few months back for science class

and me, being the minimalist I am,

said it's time to take a picture and move it out ;)

(you just can't keep everything, even if you want to)

so here it is..

in all it's glory
