Cousins!

Emma being silly in the pool

Izzy being so cute


Willy being entertained

Anna being exceptionally photogenic


I had to bribe them with ice cream to get this shot! (Works every time *wink*)

Nathan Photo Shoot

I had the pleasure of practicing with my camera a few weekends ago with Nathan.
He did such a great job! We'll have to try it again soon.

Let me know what you think.

Internet Down

At the pool at Nanny's house last weekend


I have so many pictures to add to the blog, but my service is down at the house, so I will have to wait until next week. I think the Tuesday storm knocked out our modem.





We plan to go to Disney (Magic Kingdom) Saturday, so hopefully I will have lots of fun pictures to share.

H-O-T!

It has been miserably hot down here for the past few weeks. We decided it was time to get a pool for the backyard, so we got a cheapie from WalMart. Hey, it does it's purpose and keeps Avery entertained in the evenings before dinner. Most of these pictures were taken last week. She actually surprised me and allowed me to take several posed shots of her. I played around a little with them in PhotoShop. I'm still learning, but here goes....

Play date with her friend Sienna

Sienna and Avery met when they were about 3-4 weeks old at the local hospital's 'Mother's Luncheons'. Sienna is born the day before Avery. We used to frequent our playgoups before Avery started daycare. Now we just get to see our playgroup friends every now and then. Avery and Sienna will be in the same class this fall at the Montessori school. Sienna's mommy and I thought it would be a good idea to get the girls together to play a few times this summer, so they could be good friends and Avery would be able to know someone in her new classroom.

Here they are enjoying playing in the sprinkler. I couldn't get many good pictures with this both looking at the camera, so these will have to do. :)


A tea party!


Sienna has a really cool Barbie Jam Jeep. I had a little flash forward of these two girls driving away at age 16 and I cringed.


See ya later!


Sienna stopped the car and set up the umbrella. Too funny!

More Pictures from the Weekend

Water Fairies


Matt & Olivia in the ocean


Boogie Boarding



Saltwater Cowboy Sunset


Huggy Girls


Avery thought this lady waiting for a table was Nana (Scott's mom). It was pretty funny to hear Avery yelling Nana's name over and over right after I took this picture.



Playing in the sand




Last few minutes of beach fun

Memorial Day Weekend

We headed to the beach for some R&R and super fun this weekend!
Today is my birthday and we went out on the beach this morning and now we are about to head to dinner. Yesterday was my sister Becky's birthday, we got subs and drank beer and watched 'You Tube' clips. It was fun.

Here are a few pics from today - stay tuned for more to come.
