catch air!

 we went to catch air with the jambors.... like always the girls had a par-tay!

and miss hollis didn't budge the entire time.... just busy watching everything going on around her :)

Burt's Pumpkin Patch 2012

 our family of four :) got a family pic... CHECK!  the more bodies you add to the photo the bigger the challenge!  miss phoebe was an absolute GEM on this day!  she smiled all day long.... it was hard to select which photos to share from the over 100 i took all day... and miss hollis, not one teensy weensy smile the whole day... little turkey!

 

  

 

 gotta love that scowl!!!

 

our FAVORITE jambor clan! (curse you arizona)

 by this point the kiddos were D.O.N.E.... but the pic still makes me smile.  i love it when children are busy doing their own thing :)

michelle-eangelo thomas... ha!

...the simple touch... a masterpiece...

trampoline time...

 something about this pic is extremely reminiscent of my childhood... bald baby? cocker spaniel? green grass in a onesie?  backyard?? all of the above.... i love it all :)

 i'd have to say probably one of my most favorite childhood toys would be the trampoline.... that would be my first choice of ANY activity at our friends who had one. wanna jump?? YES PLEASE!!  then, they moved and gave it to us... HEAVEN!  and now, my girls play on it too :) there were just too many pics to choose just one.  so i give you a film strip! and i love every. single. pic.

 something about this pic is me too???  messy kid playing outside??  blondie? frizzy hair?? cheese... nothing beats fresh air :)  it's fun seeing pieces of yourself relived through your little minis. it's like seeing yourself as a child.  probably one of the best things about motherhood.  living what you lived.
