January 2011

This is actually from December (over Christmas break) - Charlize was enjoying her Mac & cheese so I was able to take some pics of her enjoying it. Yes, we like the old phonebook booster - it comes in quite handy! :)

Jan.3rd - SNOW!! It was the Monday when there was no school, but teachers went in for meetings. I was able to take Charlize out in it at lunch time and we hoped it would still be around for Daddy to help her make a snowman when he got off work, but snow in the dessert doesn't last very long... She had fun while it was there!


Official "Tail Hair"!
Charlize loves her pig tails - well now any time its in a ponytail its 'tail hair'. She had fun playing in the laundry basket that morning too!

Playing in the dirt at the arena :)

We decided to take all the kiddos on a walk from Eleanore's house (up the Main Street hill). Uncle James helped us get the girls in and then he chilled inside while we went for our walk. 4 kids and 4 Moms :) Charlize was in heaven having Addi there with her!

One evening as Dad was working, I told Charlize over to the park to swing and go down the slides. On the way home she found a better way to ride in the stroller.

Playing with my studio lights, I tried to use my spunky daughter as a model. She's actually letting me take a few and will pose now and again. Today she's sporting her new 'soft coat' that Grandma B & Grandpa B got her for Christmas. She loves to sleep in them and wears them regularly! Lion is a regular since he's out for Valentine's decor. She loves him to bits!

True 'Lightning McQueen' fans have the pajamas and she loves them! My studio lights were still set up and she woke up and said, "Take pictures of Boo Mom" so cute bedhead hair and Lion got captured in our morning shoot!

Again trying some variations with my lights and this time I got Daddy and Boo in the picture!

*McGuire Family pictures coming soon!*

Uncle James received his Eagle Scout Award and the whole family was here to support him!

Way to go James!!

Playing at the arena. We love her soft, curls and sweet smile. She is spunky and independent and I just love that about her! She's determined to try and knows what she wants (or doesn't). What a blessing it is to have this vivacious, beautiful little girl to call our own. :)

1-30-2011 Roping in Mesquite, NV

She helped Dad get ready, brushing the horses and saddling. Time to swing the rope ad go for a ride.

Dirt! Always fun to have around!

She found some rubber left over from someone else and decided it was a purse to hold a few handfuls of dirt.

Sitting by Daddy, a hug from Mommy and lots of love for Charlize!
