piano

i have to admit that i saw jessica zimmerman's blog where she got a piano and i thought, "we really need a piano." well funny enough, that next sunday at church i over heard that someone was giving away their piano and i took it. we got it for free and it needs some work but i think it has some charm. it was made sometime in late 1800's to the early 1900's not really sure the actual year. all i know is that the company stopped making pianos in the 1930's. when we get some money, we need to get it tuned and we would like to refinish it. someone had painted it black and that paint definitely needs some work. the previous owner let their children color on it with crayon but luckily most of that came out. well here it is.

pictures

i have been trying to take pictures of my children since we bought our new camera. i never realized how frustrating this could be. no one wants to sit still or pay attention at the same time. i have been able to get some good shots of them individually but not one good one of them all together. maybe someone can give me some hints. if one of them is actually looking at the camera and smiling, the 2nd is looking away and the 3rd is trying to crawl away. my camera takes fast pictures but not fast enough. here are some of the ones that i like.

i am not sure what lily is doing in this picture but i really like it.

asher trying to get away. now that he can get away, he will!

jackson and his best friend.

this is one of my favorite pictures of lily.

this picture completely captures jackson to me. he is the sweetest little boy. i only wish you could hear his squeaky little voice.

i don't remember why he was crying but i think he has the saddest crying face and i wanted to remember it.

free jamba juice

today we went to jamba juice because if you were there before 10am then you got free smoothies. so we also got a new camera and i took it with us to capture this event.

lily loving her juice!

jackson decided that he loved the blueberry one and didn't want to share it with the rest of us. i think he actually thought he could drink it in one long drink so we couldn't get any.

asher along for the ride. i actually got one of their new breakfast drinks that had peaches and granola on top. he loved it!
