Klendworths Send Christmas!

This made me laugh.  It was taped to the outside of Mimi's new tent!  Girl needs some quiet time!


Time to open more presents!







Daddy checking out the new tents!  

Thank you so much for the darling new pop up tents.  The girls love them.  They had a sleep over in the living room.   The perfect gift for these little girls.  We love you and miss you!

Tooth Number 5 GONE!



Last smile with tooth in tacked!

New big kid smile!  Oh....she is growing up much to fast for this mama!

There it is!





Mia was not quite awake yet, but couldn't believe the Tooth Fairy left a note for her too!

Daddy's Girls!



Happy Birthday to the BEST daddy in the world!

Celebrating Daddy's Birthday!








We celebrated Scott's birthday this year with our first day back to school and work!  Actually, Scott was booked for the spa, but Mia's school was closed (which we didn't know).  So after a little juggling, he got to get his massage.  It wasn't as relaxing as I had hoped, but we were not on vacation anymore so.... we did the best we could.   He chose Popeye's for dinner and we sang Happy Birthday  as he blew out candles on his pie!   I am so thankful for my amazing husband.  I pray each day of this year is filled with all of the love and happiness he deserves!

Spa Day...


for Daddy!

Back to Arkansas...




And a play date!  Ansley LOVES to climb trees and Payson has the perfect one.  Big smiles all around!

Ice Skating





Our last day in Knoxville was spent Ice Skating!  The kids loved it and no one broke a bone!  Success

Buzz Rocks!

Our girl showing off her new PJ's.  She  LOVES Buzz , so these were one of her favorite gifts from Santa!  She already told me, "Mom, when it is pajama day at school I'm wearing these!"   

Kids on Christmas Day

This was the first picture where my technology and knowledge "clicked".   I am finally able to use what I learned in my photo class!   This is going to be fun....



My little test markets!  I made them pose for tons of pictures!

The boys were not into lighting and camera settings, but they did love their  Star Wars toys!  So cute!

I'm ALMOST Back!

Okay, so you know I am not the most technological person in the world.  However, I do have some skills so I claim "user error" in the Blog delay, but I'm working with an old computer so I will share the blame.  The good news for those of you still hanging in there for more family pictures is...(drum roll please)....pictures are downloaded from camera to computer.  The bad news is that I was unable to access the internet after the download because my computer was chugging so slowly.   I will try again tomorrow night.  Pictures are sorted and ready to post!  Thanks for hanging in there!

Christmas 2011

First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.   We are blessed beyond words.  It is amazing to see God's work all around us.  That is the best gift of all.   This year we traveled to the Thome's in Knoxville to celebrate with the Sharpless Family.  What a great time we had!   The kids loved being with their cousins, and we enjoyed catching up with Rita, JT, Greg, Karen and Grammy and Paw Paw.   A special thank you to Rita and JT for hosting.  We had a wonderful time and you were both gracious hosts.   We love you and wish you continued blessings for 2012.  




More pictures to follow.....I have to figure out how to upload pix from my NEW camera!
