Happy Valentines Day from the Strader Kids!

Avery {8 Year Pictures}

We finally got around to taking Avery's 8 year pictures! I love how they all turned out! Avery has gotten to the point where she has as much fun with her photo shoots as I do! There is so much I could say about Miss Avery at eight.  She is compassionate, loving, quite the little diva, dramatic, imaginative, a little on the bossy side, wants to please but also stands her ground, says what she thinks, loves every sport she tries, happy, fun, has an amazing laugh, loves to play tricks, needs her one on one time with Mommy & Daddy, nurturing, and so much more.  But instead of a long post of what I had to say about her, this year I decided to interview Avery and she what she had to say about herself. It was so fun to here what she had to say and I am sure she will enjoy looking back on it someday. So without further adieu, here is Miss Avery's interview:

January In Pictrues

Not much snow this January, but I did take my fair share of frost pictures. :) 

The boys wound up with the flu, then Jason's turned into strep.  The girls and I stayed upstairs while we contained the boys downstairs!

Avery would much rather make goofy faces for the camera than smile!

Lakelyn decided to decorate herself with stickers.  Notice the strategic placement of some of them!  LOL!

We have cooked lots of yummy comfort food!

Lakelyn love to turn her bath water colors!  She can't wait to pick out the color each night.

Avery started basketball season.

We had many warm days this January so we took full advantage with walks in the woods.

Yes, we really do have one of these!

A few weeks ago my Mom came over to watch Oaks and Lakelyn for us. I randomly decided to take some pictures of them. I am so glad I did, because I love these so much! I only wish Avery would have been home so I could of got some of her too.  I would love to have pictures of my kids with all their grandparents like this.  So Papa, Nana and Papaw watch out, your time is coming!
