Fun with FRIENDS!!

The Two of them...

Here is two more pictures of both Isabella & Chase. The last picture I have of them together that actually looks okay is of last Easter. I am excited that I have a few that turned out!!!

Formal Easter Pictures

This is the first time that I have taken Isabella & Chase's professional type pictures in over a year. I guess when you take pictures of everyones children all the time you seem to not make the time to take pictures of your own kids. Oops! Plus, it is really hard to take a picture of the two of them by myself. Thanks to Brenda for being there and helping me out! I couldn't have done it without her!!!!

I am going to try and be better about taking their pictures this year. I am going to schedule it in just like I schedule my photo shoots! Well, here are a few of my favorites!!

Buddies...

Look how cute! Brenda met us at Mickey's Grove today to do Easter pictures of our kids. It was tons of fun. Look at what good buddies they are!

Ok, don't laugh!!!

This is my very first attempt to digital scrapbooking. Amazingly enough it only took me 5 minutes to produce this! It was quite easy. This is a picture of Isabella and Chase with Severine. She was my babysitter for the past 3 months and we all loved her. She did fun and creative things with my kids. She will truely be missed by all of us! She went back home to Paris, France. Maybe we could go visit her sometime.

Easter Morning!

This Easter morning we were actually at home. We are usually in Bakersfield. The Easter Bunny brought Isabella and Chase lots of fun stuff!! It was really hard to get them up this morning! They didn't go to sleep until 11:30 or 12:00 last night and we woke them up at 8:00. Chase only took two tries to get up but Isabella took about ten tries! She was so tired. We had to practically drag her out of bed. Once she was out of bed she was so excited to see her goodies!

You gotta watch out for Isabella's crazy hair in the morning!

Then we went to church so that they could learn the "true" meaning of Easter. They both looked so good in their Easter outfits. I didn't get a picture of the outfits this morning but will be taking them on Friday. Check back to see their adorable outfits!!

Brandow Easter

The kids always have fun at Grandpa Tractor and Grandma Cookies house. How could you not have fun when you can jump on the trampoline, ride quads, play with balls, and hang out with your cousins?

Isabella was so excited to see Serenity. They had a lot of fun playing together and there were also a lot of HUGS!

Isabella had tons of fun looking for Easter eggs. Chase found one egg and then was side tracked by watching the "big" boys ride their dirt bikes. After we hunted Easter eggs I took Chase for a ride on the quad. He loved it!!!

It's been a while...

This is the first time since Isabella was 2 weeks old that Danny and I have had pictures with our children. We had a profession Brandow family picture taken on Saturday and so we took advantage of us all matching and took a few extra pictures. Here is a sample of some of the pictures.

#10 of my goals is complete!

I will be receiving my new camera sometime this week. I am SO SO excited. I am going to do Easter pictures of my children and Brenda's children this week to try it out at Mickey's Grove! Thanks Brenda! You will be my first!! =) I will officially have a "professional" camera!

We love the Easter Bunny!

Well, I guess we can say that Isabella loves the Easter Bunny as for Chase, the picture speaks louder then words. I'm sure all the parents felt that I was torturing my child for "making' him take a picture but what is a photographer to do????

Exploring, Painting, and Having Fun!

We went to the Children's Museum on Saturday for Makayla's Birthday Party. We had so much fun. It was our first time there. I had no clue how neat it was. We will definitely go back. Maybe for Isabella's birthday!!

It's already been a year!

In Loving Memory of Gina Sinichko Jan. 31, 1964 - Apr. 3, 2006 We miss you more than words can express! You have been in our thoughts, prayers, and conversations for the entire year. We love you always!! Love, Misty, Danny, Isabella & Chase

I submitted this to the Bakersfield Californian today in memorial of my sister's year anniversary of her passing. The time has gone by so fast. It still doesn't feel real that she isn't here. I miss her everyday and so does Isabella. She still talks about her Aunt Gina. It just breaks my heart because she loved her so much! It comforts me to know that Gina was waiting there for my Daddy when he passed. What a reunion they had!
