Nina Bean and Me

Last weekend, Nina and I got away from the boys for a little while. We had some time to kill while waiting to set up for a vendor fair. It was at a vineyard. Made for a pretty photo op!

I'm glad we could spend some alone time together. She's a good girl and growing up fast!

Monkeys

My little monkeys! They will climb a tree whenever they get a chance.

He's a pro.  He has no fear and will go as high as he can.

Nina is a little more cautious. : )

He did not want his picture taken!

Has to do what the big kids are doing!

Silly Boys

While waiting on Nina at her piano lesson I decided to get some shots of my boys.  

I told Aidan to lie down next to the flowers.  It looked better in my head... He thought it was hilarious how his arm was coming out of his ear.

It's so hard to get a good picture of the both of them.  It's rather funny...

 They really show their personality!

 

Dallas is saying, "Let me go!"

Cute kids.  Are they really mine?

I give Aidan a hard time about how his eyes disappear  when he smiles. I told him to give me big eyes and no teeth.  He thought that was funny, of course and gave me the opposite.

So he tried on my pretty, purple glasses.

Sweet boy. Almost 3!

Now, THAT'S a good one!!

So proud to call them my sons. : )

Nana!!

Fun times with Nana!

There is a fish in there...

Sweet Snuggles with Nana

My fourth child

 

Here's that "best cat in the world" I was talking about. 

My sweet Bogey. Love this cat. 

I had a nice opportunity to photograph him next to some

lovely roses that Kevin got me.

 

             A white cat and red roses....

                                                              He usually looks like this. : ) 

          So, I  had fun with this photo shoot.

                       
                          Isn't he purrrrty??

You like these angles? I'm like a professional photographer!

Thanks for looking at my cat. He's a great cat. Really. We're always saying we wish we could share him with other people so they could experience his awesomeness. : )

Last weeks if being 2...

 I can't believe my baby is almost 3!!!

He drives me crazy most days but I when I think back over the past three years, I don't remember any of that. 

This is him at Nana's today.  He didn't want me to take his picture so he pulled his hood on.  That little frown is in so many of our pictures.

It's sweet how little boys want to be just like their daddy. He loves to skateboard!

Kevin says he is left handed and "goofy-footed".  Whatever that means...

Skateboarding jargon.

Sigh....

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be skateboarders...

Fall Festival

Today was our Fall Festival at church.  It was lots of fun!!!  We are really happy to have found Trailhead Church.  We are all making friends and fitting right in.  

First, the kids hit the bouncy houses.

 

 Dallas needed a little help from Dad.

 Next, came cotton candy.

And hot dogs.

Nina got her face painted.  Can you tell what she is?

A fox!  And a beautiful one at that. : )

Let's see... what did we do next....

 How bout some more cotton candy? And snow cones!

Kevin got to play some cornhole with the guys.

Time for pony rides!

Nina rode both ponies.

She's a natural.

My little animal lover

Dallas loved petting the pony.

But he did NOT want to ride one!

Blurry picture of Mom. : )

 

Time for cupcakes!!!

Sugar, anyone?

It was a cool day!  The wind was brisk.  Thank goodness the sun was out!

I know this is not a great picture but I wanted to be on the other side of the camera.

Fun hay bales!

 

And fun friends.

Happy Fall, Y'all!
