You Be The Judge

Does all of this go against the
Child Labor Acts
or is it just Ingenious Parenting????

You Be The Judge!!

Welcome to the Family

There was an addition to the Nilsson Family made yesterday.
Like all Nilsson girls she is beautiful and unafordable..........yet IRRESISTIBLE!!!

"Raia Rocks"

So Raia discovered the rock wall not to long ago and decided she should get a turn like all the other kids. I hesitated putting a harness on her and told her to take it to Daddy. I assumed that dad wouldn't let her go. I was wrong!!! The harness tightened up right around her and the following display of pictures tells the whole story.

At first she didn't quite understand what she was supposed to do.......
Do I just hang here and look cute???
Or do I just plain look cute??
Maybe if Dad just shows me what to do I could get the hang of it. . . .



Yeah, that's me more than half way up the wall.
Whatever you do, just don't make me come in for dinner!!!!!

She loved every minute of it, and nearly every day she says, "Climb...wall...high" "Yes Raia you did "climb, wall, high!"

Every Girls Dream

Raia has really taken up cooking.
It is her favorite thing to do.
Most of the time she just wants to taste everything.
So I decided to let her do what EVERY girl wants to do while making brownies.

Just One of the BOYS

It sure is fun to have girls as the bread of our little family sandwich, and the boys as the meat. The only downside I have found is that sometimes the bread on the bottom of the sandwich gets a little saturated with the meats flavor!!!! I don't know, you can be the judge of that.

I do think she was the winner of that push-up contest!!

Photo Shoot

These are my beautiful children on the day of our Christmas Photo Shoot. I had forgotten about these pictures because of the busy December we had. It was fun to find them again. Some days I wonder how I got so lucky to be their Mother!!!!!
