Hmmmm..

Found it funny that i ran across these gems today.

these pics were taken a year ago of my clan enjoying what??

the swings.

love this one of papa swingin with his Bai

and of course Keegan-such a timid girl

such joy.

my kids

love to swing.

they do.

it calms them a bit.

unless of course daddy is there to push them to into the clouds.

then swinging=not so calming

but still a bunch of fun:)

 took these photos a couple months ago and just found them

love that i caught them all enjoying themselves

begging for daddy to push them 

soaring "to infinity and beyond" so they think

good times

Seriously

Excited.

WE are talking Finding Nemo excited...

First day of school-FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!

Brady could not stop giggling.  

He was overheard singing, and I quote:

"I am going potty-then I am going to school"

Bailey woke up and immediately said she was going 

to see Miss Stephanie today.

Keeg did her hair and choose her matching HS Musical headband;

devoured her Ego waffle and was at the door in record time.

I gotta say I was excited to get some routine back, too.

And was excited that they were so excited.

Happy 2008-09 school year everyone!!!!

GOtta

Love this girl.

Had some quality one-on-one time with

my youngest this weekend.

So i HAD to come up with a silly game 

that permitted camera use, right?

This is Bai putting the cap on my lens:

her solution to my photographic enjoyment.

Despite having photo time cut short,

had a really great time with her

giggling

chasing

jumping

devoring lollipops (shhhh)

playing with dolls

and snapping a few more goodies 

after i wiped the lollipop off 

the lens cap.

hehe

This one made me smile.

Mostly because its the type of shot I LOVE.

Not perfect--but summarizes the moment perfectly.

This one is going on my new website for sure;)

SWEETNESS

Absolute sweetness.

Met an adorable family this weekend.  

They were in Vero from Texas on holiday.

They wanted beach photos...we have Beach photos.

Wishing mom and the little ones safe/uneventful travels today;)

Tennis Anyone???

Little Miss Bai was all about playing tennis today.

She got all her gear....the bag was probably as heavy as her.

I think she packed a baby doll, a spoon and a crayon along with her

racket and a can of balls.

Man, I wish I could freeze her.

Over Due...

But hopefully worth the wait.

Some FUN FUN randomness from the rehearsal dinner.

Sooooo many more to look thru.

I'll keep you posted;)

Good Stuff

In celebration of 50 years

Looking forward to sharing all the wonderful 

photos with you this week.

Congratulations, again.

Off to see my little bro get married

FUN-FUn-Fun

I am not sure WHO had more fun....me or them????

This clan o'cousins were super energetic 

and so great to run around after......

But had a blast doing it:)

Hope you enjoy the results;  

Sand and all.
