Why is it already March?!

I can't believe that it is already March! It seems like the time flies by when Jason is home but when he is deployed it drags on. We have been keeping ourselves busy lately. Jason is going back to school for his Bachelor's degree and I am taking a Professional Photography course. The kids are getting TOO big and are TOO smart.

About two weeks ago we had a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. The thing that woke me up was the metal blinds banging off the metal window frames. All I could do was yell for Jason to get the babies. It only lasted about 15 seconds but it was enough to shake us up.


Early last month, Jason took the Girls and me to the Fukushuen Gardens so that I could work on some photography assignments. It was a gorgeous day and we all had a good time.









Can you tell that they hate having their pictures taken?












We have a lot of rainy days here in the winter so we try to take the Girls out to do things so they are not cooped up in the house so much. They love to go bowling.





Natalie's celebration dance!




We had a few nice days and I took the girls out to ride their scooters. Emme was totally done with having her helmet on and was trying to take it off.


This Barbie doll makes everything better for Emme. As long as she has her blue shoes on she is Emme's favorite.


And what Barbie could be without her stairs? Emme just wants the stairs, not the whole castle. And she sings "Walking, walking, walking..." up every step.


I have a macro assignment to do for class and I can't pick one to submit.
Mmmmmm! Cupcakes!


Jason got me this beautiful Orchid for Valentine's Day.










Would you believe that I actually have to bribe the kids to let me take pictures of them now?! And they are not cheap! They don't want coins, they want dollars!!








Poor Reagan got neutered last week. How can you not laugh at a dog wearing a cone?!

We took the Girls down to American Village last weekend when the weather was gorgeous. This is the only picture that Natalie let me get of her. She can not wait for Ne Ne to get her so they can ride the ferris wheel together!

I am having terrible lens issues and am going to have to send my beloved 28-75mm in. This shot is terribly out of focus but I love it anyway.
