The last few

Whew. The end.

But two more things.

First, my kids are so pale.

Second, I feel like Sam always looks out of focus b/c he's so white. Does that make sense?

The girls

Wendy did great posing by herself.

Afton was trickier. She didn't like sitting in the flowers.

Siblings:

Ladies:

And now blogger's taking forever again. I'll post the last few later.

Photo shoot

It's that time of year again - bluebonnets! Dan had mentioned that he didn't want to drive 2 hours away to take pictures with them this year. After our car ride last week, I agreed. I noticed that some local photographers have mentioned some patches of bluebonnets not too far from our house so I figured out where to go close by and we invited Kirk and Gretchen along.

All of these are straight out of the camera - a little touching up would add something special, but I don't have photoshop.

Carter:
(A bee just flew in front of his face.)

 The "smoulder."

Sam:

Double trouble:

That's all I can do tonight. Blogger is taking FOREVER to upload the others. Stay tuned for Wendy, Afton, sibling shots and the whole gang.

Destination Destin

My brother said it best: "My sister already said it well on her blog. 'My parents rented a nice 8 br house with a pool and hot tub. It was also right on a lake and right across the street from the beach. It was fun to see my parents and all of my siblings and for all 7 of the little cousins to get together. Aiden has 3 cousins that were born just within 2 months of him. Besides going to the beach and swimming in/relaxing by the pool, we did a little Easter Egg Hunt for all the kids, played on the playground, got pedicures, went to the Blue Angels air show, bowled, shopped at the outlets, ate way too much, played games every night, etc. Here is a picture overload:' "

On the road. Somewhere in Louisiana.

Mother dear.

Dad - the one who pays for all our frivolities. Obviously it wears him out.

Blue Angels.

 Dad took some family pics for us. It was a cloudy windy day. I like this one. Sam's hair is awesome.

 All the cousins.

I wasn't joking about the picture overload. It was such a fun trip. I love my family. I'm grateful that my parents try so hard to get us all together.
