Fun at The Pool

One of the boys favorite things to do at the pool is to be thrown into the air by their Daddy.  Got some really fun shots of them having fun!

Photos of John

Here are a few pictures that I took of John for his 5th Birthday.  Hoping to start learning more about photography, such a fun hobby to have!

John is 5!!!

Today we celebrated John's 5th Birthday!  It was such a wonderful day and the weather was perfect!  We opened presents, at at the pizza place, played arcade games, went swimming, and then finished off with some Kentucky Fried Chicken.  Such a perfect day to celebrate and to thank God for blessing us with Johnny!  We love you John and we are so proud of you!

Yes, John picked pink frosting so I had to add cars to make it more boyish. :)

Waking up with donuts and candles.

This was the 2nd time blowing out candles as Stuart blew out the first round.

John loved every present he got!

Priceless facial expression!

Arts Festival

Today was the Arts Festival at Stuart's school.  Each grade performed a dance from different places all around the world.  Stuart's class had a Hawaiian theme and they did a dance to the "Lilo and Stitch" song and it was ADORABLE!!  Stuart also carried the flag for his classroom so he was extra excited about that.  So proud of him!

Super Johnny!!

Oh how I love taking pictures of my kids!  John is so much fun to take pictures of and I had to snap this adorable picture of him.  Love this little boy!

John is Ready!

John is registered, tested, and ready to go to Kindergarten!!  Can't believe my little boy is growing so fast!  John had tears in his eyes and said, "Momma, I don't want to go to school!"  So, obviously, I think he's going to tell me how he is going to miss me and so I asked him, "Why not John?"  John sweetly replied, "Because they're going to make me work!"  HAAAAAAAAA!!

Little Miss Cutie Pie

One of Anne's favorite things to wear is a swimsuit and rain boots.  It doesn't matter where we go, that is her outfit of choice.  I captured this picture of Anne tonight and as I look at her, it's one of those moments that I don't want to forget.  I don't want to forget her beautiful spirit, her energy, her laugh, and I'm so thankful that I captured it on camera.  So here's to my Little Miss Cutie Pie!! :)

Anne: 3 years old

Strawberry Farm Field Trip

Stuart's first grade class took a field trip to a strawberry farm and I was able to go.  We had a great time picking strawberries, riding a hay-rack ride, eating lunch at the park, and just hanging out with Stuart. 

Water Slide

It has been getting really hot in the afternoons here in Georgia and the kids have been getting bored with the little pool I have in the backyard.  So I looked up some ideas for cheap water fun and I found some information on how to make your own water slide.  I decided to give it a try and it really worked!  The kids had so much fun and they thought I was amazing for making something so cool! :)  Here are some fun pictures I took of them while they were slip sliding away!

Anne is 3!

My sweet little Anne turned 3 today!  I honestly can't believe that my little girl is growing up so fast.  She is so funny in so many different ways.  She loves to wear dresses, but refuses to wear a shirt with skirts.  She loves the movie Frozen and loves to rub her blanket on her lips.  Anne loves her chocolate milk and loves swimming in the pool.  She can make us laugh so hard by making funny faces or funny noises.  She truly is a blessing to our family.  Today was all about Anne!  Today we celebrated her and what a gift she is from God.  Thank you God for loaning us this sweet little girl; may her heart always want to serve You and live for You!

Ocean Visit

It has been such a long time since we have been to the ocean so we decided to take the opportunity to head out and spend the afternoon.  We had such a great time!  We knew the water was going to be cold so I didn't put the kids in their swimsuits.  By the time we left, the kids were completely soaked and they had the time of their lives.  Love watching them play in the ocean!  So neat that they will grow up with ocean memories.
