Photo a Day, June 17 - 23

Sun: Father's Day! The boys and I are so blessed to have so many wonderful fathers in our lives. I love this pic of Travis and his dad with the boys. // Mon: Grey and I singing "The itsy, bitsy spider."

Tues: Cherries, pitted and ready to be turned into jam. // Wed: Micah likes to throw tantrums. Sometimes I am sympathetic, and sometimes, I take his picture instead. 

 Thurs: Grey likes to wear my glasses. // Fri: the boys like to stand on the chair in their room. 

Sat: Grey and I, getting ready to go to the local water park 7 Peaks.

Cherry picking

This morning the boys and I went cherry-picking.

Yum. I will turn all these cherries into jam and a pie. I am a teeny bit obsessed with sour cherry pie.
I mean... who isn't?

Photo a day, June 10 - 16

Yummmm! We go through about 2 watermelon a week. We'd eat more, if only they were cheaper. // Poor Grey, it is not much fun to have a brother sitting on your lap in a teeny cart! 

Micah pushed the laundry basket to the couch, so he could use it as a footstool. // Grey's favorite book: Animals. 

Playing in the mudpit in our front yard. // Micah snuggling with daddy. Poor boy is feeling sick again. Always sick. :( 

And Micah and his auntie Noelle reading Micah's favorite book, I Speak Dinosaur before bedtime. 

A happy week, all in all. 

Haircuts

I have been holding off on haircuts for a LONG TIME. But it was time. My boys needed haircuts. I mean, look at those goofy bangs:

So I let Travis cut the boys' hair, and I coped the only way that I could: by viewing the whole situation from behind a camera.  

We let the boys eat some snacks while we cut their hair... that was a bad idea. Look what I found in Grey's lap afterward: 

Yikes!

Cousin Fun

The boys and I had a fun afternoon a few days ago, spent with my little cousins. My aunt and uncle's whole backyard was a baby wonderland!

This pink swing was by far the most coveted toy. Everyone wanted to spend all their time in it!

More pictures to come, including about 1 bazillion (approximately) pictures of my son Micah in the pink swing.
Cute boy, I just couldn't stop clicking away!

Grey

Oh, Grey! How I love my sweet little boy. Yesterday we played a game: I would throw him into a pile of pillows on my bed, and then tickle him. Then he would scramble and crawl to the edge of the bed as fast as he could, and before he could escape, I would throw him back into the pillows.

We sure had a lot of fun while his brother was sleeping.

I guess now I will have to try to take some pictures of just Micah later this week.

Summertime boys

I love the summertime, and if there's anything I love more than sitting in the shade on a warm day, eating a popsicle, it's these shirtless little boys getting sticky with their own ice pops.

Do you have any summer plans like this? The type of plans that aren't really plans?

Pool Party

The boys have had so much fun lately playing in their little kiddie pool.
And I have had so much fun buying little baby swim trucks for them.
At one time, we had over five in our house... but Travis made me  *ahem* I decided to take some back.

I love the chaos of these pictures! We have a very busy front yard!

My boys - 14 months

My little boys are fourteen months old! I can hardly believe it!

I decided the perfect place to photograph them this month was out on my Aunt's trampoline. Early in the morning, before everyone else is awake.

Party for babies

I suspect that you readers will get sick of pictures of my kids in their kiddie pool long before I do.
But how could you? When they're so blasted cute!

Duck Pond

We went to the duck pond this weekend with my husband Travis. It was lovely.
I mean, it was stinky, and full of squaking ducks and sliny duck poo... but we had a lovely time nonetheless.
And the lighting was pretty dang perfect.

One of the nice things about having a husband who spends his days behind a camera, is that he knows how to take nice pictures. So sometimes, I get to be in pictures! Hurray!

And that is my face.
Crooked glasses and all.

But doesn't it look like a nice face? A face you want to hire to take pictures of your babies at a duck pond (or elsewhere)?
