We got our tree at Corner Crest Farm again this year. It was a nice trip, and Orion got to play with Logan for a bit, and didn't want to leave lol. We got an awesome natural tree, and Orion took a few pictures with the little camera.
Chattin it up with Craig. Al and Paco. Orion actually took a bunch of them, but was really excited with this one since they were both looking at the camera. They are so sweet and cute! I liked this one so much I had to crop it in! Orion was pretty excited about the new sandbox Craig made. What a handy guy he is! Pictures of tree coming later.
Bet this wasn't what you were expecting! Hey, me neither LOL! Of course I did know Tessi and Amma were coming for a visit, but I wasn't expecting to find that cute little bare butt sticking out of Orion's cooking apron when I walked in the door! hahaha!
Orion took this one - notice the finger on the side. :) He is getting pretty good with the camera though. He is really into taking movies right now. He shot this one of Tessi chasing Amma right around the same time. Wish I had her energy!
So we moved, phew. I cannot believe we had 6 weeks and we were still right down to the wire at the end. And it isn't like I have been slacking off! Now the long task of getting a new place in order starts. It is especially tricky as this is an even smaller place than the last one. Must reducereducereduce! Good think I actually like to organize!
I haven't taken hardly any pictures, but here are a few that were floating around in my little camera. I know I have some in the big camera as well, but I have lost the reader. Bah! Guess those will show up when they show up. :)
Akasha pondering the yard. She spends alot of time out there! "Why did you interrupt my meditation?" Orion has been into using the little camera again, and has discovered video making as well. He likes to say silly things in another room and then come play them back for me. Sometimes he tells me what I am supposed to respond LOL!
He took this one of me. Silly smile, but he *almost* got Akasha nursing haha! Some other things Orion finds worthy of photographing. "Here mom, now you take a picture of me!"
Wow, a year. Funny I can remember thinking the same thing when Orion was a year, and here he is almost 5!
Our day started out playing with balloons. Orion took this one! Then we discovered something funny.
Impromptu rocking chair photo session. Trying on the party hats! Akasha is totally coming out of her stranger anxiety lately and is enjoying hanging out with other people. She especially enjoyed Miss Allison today. My homemade gluten free, dairy free cake. I even bought beet dye for the writing. My decorating abilities are not the best, but at least you can read what it says LOL!
The store bought cake looks just a little bit better. :) Waiting for the cake.... "Happy birthday to you..." The yellow and red sign on the wall was the same one that was up for Orion's 1st birthday. I had saved it, so I thought it would be neat to reuse!
Ooooh, fire... "What's all the fuss about? I'm still sitting here with an empty tray." "Ah, so this is the good stuff. Get away from my cake!" Ooey gooey frosting! Finally, a taste! Gettin' down to business... OK, now a big bite! Didn't realize how big it was! This was right before she choked. :( And the choking on too much cake face. Dad asking if she is OK. Stupid cake! "All done!" Orion getting a huge piece. I had to get just one gift so she could have fun tearing the paper. Ciara is on hand in case she needs help. ;) "What's the big deal about this paper?" "Oh, there is something in here!" Silly motorcycle kids. Orion likes to say he is going to Hollywood to see his sissy. Akasha was having a blast bouncing up and down on the seat! Kristin made her this awesome hemp and bead necklace! The spiral bead in the middle is the same design she gave me at my Blessing, so there is one just like it on my birth beads! End of a long day.... Orion loves juice boxes and was overwhelmed with choices. He had three of them lined up like this and was drinking them all at the same time I guess LOL!
