4th of july treat!

Know why Mishka has such a big smile on her face during the 4th of July parade...?









That's right, they were throwing out lollipops :)

Strike a pose!

Bringing Mishka pics back!

It's been a while, here some pics of the 'lil mouse' :)

In the snow...

Guitars, fairies and snowbanks...oh my!

Here's Mishka kickin' it down at the Somer's residence with Ollie and Daddy...daddy's lil' rock n' roller (btw, Jimi Hendrix is one of her favorites ;))

Mommy & Mishka hanging out in the snowbank...I think Mommy's a bit more excited than Mish!

Behold Mishka and her wings, all bedazzled by the fairy princess Mishka!

"Look at me, look at me!"

Sisters

"I'm the king of this snowbank, hahahaha!!!!!"

The recorder...

Mishka got a recorder...it was loud...

First thing Christmas morning

First thing this Christmas morning you'll find Callie eating, Mishka opening her stocking, and Mommy exhuberant as anything!

Presents!!!

So the undisputed coolest present of this morning was toothbrushes...although Callie lacks teeth, it didn't deter her one bit...naturally Mishka had to get into the act as well, so for a solid 5 minutes this morning, the two of them sat together and brushed their teeth...the American Dental Association smiled.

Mishka got a bat and ball and immediately wanted to go outside and play...in the 2 feet of snow in the back yard...we're gonna wait until the snow only goes slightly past daddy's ankles :)

Mommy's present to Mishka...a recorder. Yup, it was possible, Mishka got louder! ;)

And here's Mishka all snuggled up in her new princess blanket made by her Nina...thank you Nina!!! :)

Christmas morning

Okay bloggers, we're gonna be working a little backwards today...there's a ton of pics I haven't posted over the past month, but I'm posting what happened today for now...






well, sorta...this is Mishka writing a note to Santa last night to let him know the cookies were for him and the carrots for the reindeer...

and Santa wrote back...cookies & carrots eaten

The girls were ready to check out their new presents!!!

Neglectful blogging...sorry

Okay, daddy DB has been slacking...let's get a few pics out...

Merry almost Christmas!!!

Of note, that is 2 feet of snow out the window in the background and Mishka is in a bathing suit and shades...we did hit up the pool which is why she's got on the bathing suit. The shades, well, it's because Mishka defines SUPER COOL!!!!! :)

Temur

Some sad news today, Temur passed away last night very unexpectedly. As you can see here he was well loved by the girls, he'll be missed.
