Is there anything sweeter than hot pink and brown?

Yep..my sweet girl wearing it!

Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture?
(I swear Jake has cute clothes too and doesn't wear his pj's all day!)

Courage...

My sweet Jake has never been one to like water poured anywhere near his head or face. I never forced the issue and was always cautious during bathtime. Well a little while ago my big boy decided that tonight was the night that he would pour water on his head all by himself! He loved every single second of it and it was definately worthy of some picture taking. I couldn't help but smile when my sweet boy got up enough courage to do this all by himself.

This picture in undeniably PRICELESS

Aftermath...

Can anyone guess what she did? Let's just say I was covered!

Redhanded...

Most everyone knows that Jake loves suckers a.k.a "huckers". He knows that he is only allowed to have 2 huckers at a time and they are not allowed on the carpet. Tonight as I turned the corner into the office I caught the little "hucker thief" redhanded. I love the surprised look on his face. The evidence

at least he followed the "No huckers on carpet rule"

and back to work he went

My sweet pumpkin..

I just love the color orange. It is so bright and cheery and I couldn't help but take some pics of my sweet girl.

Always..

I may not always have time to post by I always have time to take pictures. Here's what we've been up to lately..

Who knew chinese food could be this much fun?!

Our trip to the Cider Mill

Too heavy

Come on, "You do play football don't you?"



He was so happy he found a green one!

Finally he picks an orange one!

Now this is a GREAT cousin!

Just to prove she's not ALWAYS in pink

Now these are the ones we need to watch around water...

check out her chicken fuzz.

her "apple bottom jeans"

(Keek-Where's her boots with the fur?)

Sissy gets some sugar

So very true....

She's fired!

Ok so here's the deal everytime I ask Keek to take a pic with my camera I get some crazy photo of me with my kids. Now when I take pics of her with her kids I get her something nice. Let me show just one example of what I'm talking about...

Keek and Anthony's "moon" pic

now all I wanted was a pic with Austin and I and "our moon pic" and here's what I got...

I guess I'll just settle for a pic of the moon and just pretend we're in it

and just for good measure here's yet another family pic for her and I won't even bother to post mine she took for me :)
It's alright Keek I luv ya..but you're still fired!!

Her 1st sink bath...

and she loved it...

uh-oh...
she wasn't to sure about that...
a quick recovery...
love the eyes...

I don't think I'll ever be able to say no..

Hmm..Let me think, maybe if I do something really cute

"Please momma can I have those new pair of shoes that match my dress"

"Yep I think that did the trick"
