A Day at the River with the Kiddos

We took the kids out to the River for a few hours and found an awesome rope swing that the kids played on for hours!

Here is Adda enjoying the water. It was a HOT day!




The rope swing was definately the highlight!


and Madison got a new lunch box that she was so excited about. Ryan and Jacob are both getting ready to start school soon and Madison felt left out at the store! So I invested $3.00 into her happiness and let her get a lunchbox! Thanks Wal-Mart for the smiles!

Photos taken for my sisters family!

This session was for my sister Jenny and her family. Here are a few of my favorites taken! We had a half hour session with only the girls since the boys were late... so we didn't get to start till around 8:00 and we lost light fast... may have to do reshoot!

The whole clan!

and just for fun! 3200 ISO.... no flash... so not the greatest photo... but the only available light was from the moon and a streelight a ways back behind me

Easter Weekend - Part Three - Sunday

The kids woke up to their Easter Baskets


Ryan was showing off his new Bronco's hat he got in his Easter Basket! Sorry for lack of clothes... my boys sleep in there underwear! Does anyone elses boys to the same thing?


Aunt Courtnee stopped by for a moment to show us her new pet bunny


Here is my nephew Zach eating away at his waffles!


Madison LOVES puzzles. She is so smart too. She can do puzzles all day. She put this 48 piece puzzle together by herself. She was happy to sit on it and pose for me for a treat.


I love this photo! Everyone is smiling. I need to take more grandpa photos with the kids. They just love him! They look forward to his weekly visits. They climb on him, read stories with him. It is so fun to see them with him.


The kids found these beautiful flowers growing in our backyard... and my sweet little Jacob put them in a shot glass vase and brought them to me for Easter. They were my gift the kids.


Then we headed to Aunt Jenny's house for dinner and an egg hunt. Here is a picture of my beauitful niece Mckynlee


Kylie was running from me! LOL! She didn't want a picture... little brat princess! :D


Here is Kaden just sleeping away! Already 11 lbs!


Madison found her place in life... underneath a kitchen table with a book! LOL! Goofy kid


Time to eat my turkey! Madison had to eat with this baseball... and she protected it with every bite she took!


Here is the little princess table


This is the way we eat! Totally Flinstoning it!


Uh-Oh! Accidents happen... Kylie found nail polish and spilled it all over her brand new Easter Dress.... mommy had to change her! Notice the different dress. But now it is also time for the Egg Hunt.


Good ol egg in the mail box... I bet the mailman wish he worked on Easter Sunday's!


Candy on the car roof... isn't that a little predjudice against short people... I couldn't have reached that one!


Ooooh! Whats up there? If there is only one who gets it?


So proud of his eggs he collected


Taking time for a quick smile.... she has better things to do like find chocolate!


Ryan was multi tasking... for every egg he found he ate a new piece of candy


After the egg hunt I come in and find this! Daddy found a moment to rest.


and the end result after combing my kids baskets. My kids know that everything they find is equally shared cause I am a mean mommy.
