Happy Fourth!

Here are some snapshots from our backyard photoshoot today.

I knew our little Sam was a ham....but seriously???

Check out the progression of shots...is he for real???

And the cap I found on clearance...it's so awful it's awesome!

Don't you think?

Under Construction

So I am in the process of changing things and unfortunately 

I am running into some technical difficulties. 

Please excuse the mess as  I know a bunch of stuff looks weird right now.

Hopefully by this weekend I will get it all back in order. 

Thanks for your patience.

Apologetic Wednesday

 So I owe everyone an apology for getting so behind on posting to this blog.

There are many reasons I have not had much time to do so lately 

(most of which involve the three rug-rats pictured below).  

However to tide you over here are some random photos.  

Nothing earth shattering about them but at least you know we are all alive and well!

 Silly tub time

 Amelia

 

 Natalie

 

 Summer fun

 

 Sammy

little dude

(This one makes me want to squeeze him until he giggles uncontrollably

and shower him with kisses.)

Future Prom Queens?

With it being prom season and all I thought it would be fitting

to share some photos of Natalie and Amelia in their finest gowns.

How lucky each girl is to have a sister who shares her love for everything fancy.

And of course it's always nice to have a dance partner nearby!

For those of you not keeping up with the Disney Princess Couture line...

Natalie in blue is the enchanting Cinderella

(though she must have her tiara at the cleaners and she is wearing Snow White's crown)

and Amelia in pink is the wonderful Sleeping Beauty.

Scenic North Shore

Our annual trip to the North Shore proved to be both tiring and relaxing.

The days were filled with a variety of fun.

Everything from playing games, watching movies, flying kites, swimming in pools,

celebrating Easter and endless rock throwing.

There are so many photos I could share with you

but I thought I would do my best to highlight some of the scenic beauty of our trip.

I wish I could take credit for what follows

however it is Mike who captured all this scenic glory.

Palm Sunday Finery

Is it just me or does it seem like they are growing up fast?

To ease my worries that time is speeding up on me I will just think...
"it must be the fancy clothes, yeah...that's it...the clothes"

They are still my little babies right?

Spring Has Sprung....FINALLY!

Number of winter coats.....zero.

Number of winter boots.....zero.

Hats, gloves, mittens....ZERO, ZERO, ZERO!

Amount of snow.....almost zero.

Smiles, sunshine and springtime fun.....endless!
