Mia has officially signed with Ford Models and we are so PROUD of her. When we were in the office, Mia asked if she could go over and look at all the comp cards they had displayed on the wall, and then she asked her agent if those kids are going to be in magazines! LOL We were also referred to another agency by Ford who has offices in Orlando. We spent the day in Miami Beach yesterday meeting with the Ford Models agent and Mia's comp cards are being printed as we speak. I can't wait to see where this little adventure takes us! either way, the Harrell's always seem to enjoy the ride!!!

Is this a mischievous smile or what? She is just about to soak Alyssa with the hose!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!!!

this is a video that the photographer put together! It brought tears to my eyes! I can't believe our girl is growing up so fast. I feel like we were just gathering all the things that we needed to travel to China.

Family Time is the best time!!!
Mike has been wanting to take a trip to a state park about 30 minutes south of us
to spend a family day together, just the 3 of us. I enjoyed some relaxation and Mike was able to throw a line in as well. I can't help myself when it comes to taking some photos so i snapped a few of our beach bum!

Happy Easter!

the Easter Bunny paid our house a visit early this morning and he must have had wet feet because he left several footprints on our porch and his cotton tail was shedding too! I thought he did a WONDERFUL job cramming all that stuff into that basket!! The look on Mia's face was priceless when she opened the front door!

Beach days are back!

the water temperature was a little too chilly for me, but we have been blessed

with unbelievably beautiful weather.

A little bathtime fun!

Playing with Photoshop! I feel like I have gone back to college!

Saturday afternoon was a perfect day for a picnic! I organized a get together for Mia's close friends and their parents to have an Easter celebration, decorate some eggs and just have a good time! The Easter Bunny paid them a visit too!! We all met up at a local park and relaxed in some lawn chairs while the kids ran around and had a blast! We arranged an egg hunt and some squeals were heard when one of the 3 golden eggs were found!

Mia's school had their annual Easter Egg Hunt today and Marshmallow the Bunny made an appearance too! It was mayhem when the kids took off in search of the eggs but the kids all had a great time!

I won!!

a couple months ago, I entered in a Nestle' photo contest.
I entered our family holiday card and a photo that I took for my friend's Christmas card. Both shots won first place and I was sooo excited when I received the news!!!
just click here to go directly the site that shows the winners in each category!

these eyes are always thinking and wondering!!!

Not to much gets past this one! I can't even sneak a snack or two from her, she can sniff a piece of chocolate on my breath from miles away I think!!! Summer is approaching and we can't wait! I have sooo enjoyed picking out some cute suits for Mia and she also has informed us that she rrreeeeaaalllllyyyy wants to take horseback riding lessons, so we have decided to give gymanstics a little break and give horseback riding lessons a try. The ranch we want to take her to, will start the kids once they are comfortable with their right and left so they can help guide the horse! Although Mia is a strong swimmer we have decided to continue her summer swim lessons also. I can't wait til she is old enough to put on a snorkel and mask and jump off the boat like Mike and I did as kids!!

Take me out to the Ballgame!

we spent a beautiful day today at the Mets spring training facility and caught a game! Mia was up and dancing when the music was playing between innings and she somehow must have tugged at the heart strings of 2 guys sitting behind us because, they came back from a beer run with a baseball for her. The look on her face was priceless!
