#101 Air conditioner

#100

I just realized the other day that this should be #101. With some research, I discovered that somehow I skipped March 1. I can't let myself get stuck on that, though. I'll just keep on moving forward.

#99 Love

I love this picture of dh and our daughter. Its such a sweet moment.

#98 My neck hurts

We spent the day (14+ hours) driving from Virginia back to Michigan. I did not take any pictures. About 5 minutes before we got home I realized I hadn't taken a picture. So, I took this with my husband's blackberry. Would have used my iPhone, but no flash! My neck does hurt just looking at the picture!

#97 Pouting

Lily was pouting because I wouldn't push her on the swing at that moment. I was taking a break to play basketball with her brothers. I love the way she's sitting.

#96 The forbidden garden

Today Lily and I got to visit with our friends Denise and Maggie. I took a ton of pictures of the girls, but this is my favorite picture of the day. We saw some beautiful flowers and entered the open gate of the garden. After spending about 15 minutes in there, we exited through the same gate, closed this time. I then saw the sign "Private residence, not open to the public." To our defense, the sign was about 3x5. It was worth it. The tulip blooms in this picture were about 6 inches tall!

#95 The team

The kids insisted on putting on their W&M attire immediately after putting it on. Tribe pride was high after we went to the introduction of W&M's new mascot (the Griffin).

#94 Through the tire

Just love that toothless smile!

#93 Big girl bike

Lily learned how to ride a big girl bike last week. We brought it along to visit Grandma & Grandpa. She has ridden it every day!

#92 Peaceful

Most of the day on Saturday was spent driving. We stopped for the night somewhere in Pennsylvania. As I was sharing a bed with Lily, I was able to get a picture after she was asleep.

#91 Bounce

#90 Watching for (polar) bears

We saw one swimming. Otherwise, they were content to walk around outside.

#89 Mud Pie

#88 On the ball

#87 Go Blue Devils!

Taken while watching the Duke - Baylor game. Watching a game for Ben is like a workout. He jumps, he shouts, he can't sit still!

#86 I can't get up!

Lily fell into the bin holding princess clothes. Most people would immediately grab their daughter. I immediately grabbed my camera~

#85 Princess & her pals

Lily wore this outfit out to dinner that night!

#84 Tired dog

Taken at night in very low light with a very slow shutter speed. Rested camera on the floor to steady it.

#83 Drying nails

#82 Walking the wire

#81 Bowhead

She took out her bow and put it back in all by herself. She was so proud. I couldn't break it to her that it was smack dab in the middle of her forehead!

#80 Heavy lifting

SOOC, taken with my point and shoot. Lily couldn't wait to get into the pallet lifter at the Detroit Science Center this weekend. Gotta love that smile!

#79 3 boys and a DS

The effect of a kid playing a Nint*nd* DS always amazes me. My younger son always brings his to his brother's karate class. Just about every boy walks up and glances to see what he is playing. I would say at least half the time, they stay and watch for at least 2 minutes if they have the time. This picture was taken during Lily's karate class (I tried getting pictures of karate, but none came out very well), and the three boys sat around the entire time watching each other play.

#78 The birthday cake

I am having trouble getting good images in the harsh, late afternoon sunshine.

#77 Twisted

#76 Tulip again

Yes, I milked these tulips for all they were worth. I am lacking in motivation and inspiration this month, so these flowers helped me out for a few days! Amazingly, the morning after this picture was taken the flowers were completely dead and ugly!

#75 Cutting the grass

#74 Smell the flower

#73 My future quarterback

The boys have been playing football in the basement all winter. I have played catch with them a little bit, but its hard to really see what they can do indoors. Today they played outside and Dylan can throw the ball like a bullet with a perfect spiral. I was so impressed! Ben is quite the defensive player, too. My boys may be football players - I'm kind of frightened!

#72 Puppy dog eyes

#71 Tulips make me happy

#70 Friends

Lily had a play date with a friend from karate yesterday. The girls had a fantastic time dressing in princess dresses, pretending they were puppies and kitties, taking their babies for walks, and just being silly.

#69 The elusive one

My oldest son actually let me take his picture. Can you tell that originally there were two boys wrestling in the distance? My photoshop class had paid off!

#68 Heel tap

#67 Cheesy

Taken while making the Pioneer Woman's Cheese Puffs. I took a bunch of pictures, trying to document my cooking with each step like she does. In the rush to finish so I could pick the boys up from school, I forgot to take a picture of the finished product!

#66 Up the wall

Taken moments before Cathy's hands slipped off the wall as she reached for the top, resulting in her dangling upside down by her pants let. I was in too much shock to get a picture of that! Cathy, Susan and I did make it to the top of the wall though!

Thanks for letting me post another picture Cathy!

#65 Lily

How could I resist taking a picture of this?

#64 Jumping for joy

Thank you to my friend Cathy for humoring me in posing for the jumping in the air beach picture! Thank you also for letting me use your picture while wearing a bathing suit! You look great.

This picture is SOOC. The skin is a little too bright, but the blues are just beautiful!

#63 Lavender pillow martini

#62 Love that smile

Can you see my reflection in her eyes?

#61 Spring can't get here soon enough...

...for my daughter to wear these clothes!

It was 11:30 pm and I hadn't taken a picture. I took this in bad light and accidentally in JPEG. Not a great image, but great clothes!

#60 Dog in the snow

I like this picture of our dog. The only thing I was a little bummed about was the shadow on one of his eyes.

#59 Lily & me

The only pictures I took yesterday were with my point and shoot while at Disney on Ice. Needless to say, none of them were very good. This was the best, probably since I wasn't trying to shoot moving figures in a dark arena with spotlights with a p&S camera!

#58 Have a drink

#57 New shoes

#56 Purplicious

Lily was painting the other day with brushes. Before I knew it, all the colors were mixed together and her hands were covered with paint. Wasn't I lucky that it matched her shirt! Notice the paint splatters on her face. She was clapping!

#55 Tree

This tree is in the yard of a home down the street. I wish I knew what kind of tree it was.

#54 Waiting for the splash

#53 Snowman

Yesterday was our second snow day this year. Not great timing on what was supposed to be the first day back after mid-winter break. I motivated to build a snowman. Notice the lego mouth and eyes.

#52 Herding cats

Trying to take a picture of all 3 of my kids together is kind of like herding cats.
