Family Pics

Because we took the kids to the park the other day and Jess just started snapping pics - with his CELL PHONE. I can't believe some of the shots he got. Crazy good!! CLICK TO ENLARGE THEM!

Yep. Took every single one with this crappy beat up cell phone. Everything the man touches turns to gold. =)

Kindergarten Grad

More later. But does Jesse take great pictures, or what?? With his cell phone, no less...

Mini Photo Shoot

So, I took about 100 pictures of the girls. And I told myself as I went thru them I was only going to post A FEW...just my VERY FAVORITES.

Half an hour later I had it narrowed down...to about 80. =) What can I say, I think these 3 little girls are the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

So, here I go, posting waaaaaaaaaaay too many pictures of the girls, because I couldn't decide on just 5. Please to enjoy.

The little stinkers just melt my heart. Lilah is 8 months now and growing growing growing. I am trying to do this more often, b/c I am the worst about taking pictures...and then I turn around and she will be starting Kindergarten...and I will have no baby pictures.

Besides, we have some vacancies in the family picture frames on the wall going upstairs that I purposefully left open for a certain tiny face. So, gotta go fill in those blanks with our new addition.

Hi, I'm Lilah

I am the world's sweetest 7 month old.

I love to eat my fingers.

I adore my big sisters.

I love my fishy teether.

I say "Hiiiiiii!!!" when Mommy comes to get me after nap.

I suck my thumb when I am sleepy.

I am Miss Perpetually Mellow.

I love to scoot around in my Jeep (just like my Mama.)

I love to give slobbery kisses.

I grab everything.

If you give me my blanket, I grab it and go right to sleep.

And sleep for 10 hours. =)

I have the most gorgeous hazel eyes (just like my Daddy.)

I am ALWAYS ready with a smile.

And if you come to visit me, you will fall in love. ♥

Family Day

Jesse suggested a family walk and a swim in the lake this morning and boy am I glad we went!  Absolutely lovely 4.5 mile loop trail called the Iron Hill Trail.  Totally in the shade the whole way, slathered with moss on all sides, and around the lake a lot of the way so you can see the water, which was perfectly clear and emerald green.

Now I wish I had taken a few shots of the trail on the way because it was really a treat to walk on.

The girls are basically fearless when it comes to the water, which could be a bad thing, but I don't worry when Jesse is so close by.

Silly and sweet, sweet and silly.  They take turns. :)

And the very best part of the day...Daddy had to take Lilah for her very first dip in the lake.  With him as her Daddy, it will be the very first of many.  But I think it is supercool that we got the moment "on film."  The older girls were both about 2 their first time on the boat, so it won't be long before she is joining them on their fishing excursions.

We all had a great time and by the time we got back to the Jeep the girls were completely pooped.  They are sacked out watching a movie and eating popcorn right now, I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't both sound asleep in the next half hour.

On the drive home Jesse said, "We should make this a Saturday morning tradition."  ♥♥♥  He's the best.

The summer is winding down, school has started, and in the mornings there is the teeny-tiniest breath of Fall.  We all look forward to the weather breaking in the deep South, but after today, I do wish we had another month of Summer to enjoy a new found Saturday morning tradition.  Maybe we can squeeze it in again a couple more times before it gets chilly.

Hope your Saturday's been full of family and fun!
