good bye nicole...

a day's worth of fun...

barefeet...

so this weeks theme at iheartfaces is all about feet and the soles for souls organization...a couple weeks ago at recess one of the kids needed to take their shoes of cuz they were wet or something like that and then it kind of snowballed and soon everyone had their shoes off. and now it is almost a daily occurrence that i get asked "can i take my shoes off" when we're at recess. some days i say yes, some days i say no this particular day i had said yes and it just so happened that all the girls took their shoes off but the boys left there's on. so i took a pic of shoed feet and unshoed feet.














yeah then i found another pic with feet...to play tag they put their feet together and say "tag, tag, tag." until there's a group and then they do enie minie mini mo to figure out who is it. so here's three girls getting ready to play tag...

Editing fun

well...i should be working on something...but editing is so much fun :)

i couldn't resist as these two little girls sat and watched shannon and her dad dance the father daughter dance

who can resist the lilacs...they were just begging to be photographed. it was such a huge blessing for me that they were blooming while i was there... i didn't notice the bee when i was taking the pic...

spring break

this past spring break i traveled with many people to tiomen (i'm never sure if it's tiomen or tioman, it's spelled both ways when i google it :)). the highlight of the trip...was the snorkeling, well it's really all i did. cuz the pool was small and the water was FREEZING (the water comes off the mountain), the pool chairs were nice, but there was little breeze by them so they were HOT. so i just spent the days in the ocean amazed at God's under sea creations. the fish were amazing the coral was amazing, the sea turtle and sting ray i saw were amazing...i could have stayed their forever...

some highlights of the trip.....
