So first off.... I'm in love. With this:
and this....
and this and this and this...
and all of the above. Now just to pick out which ones I want for my wall collage :-)
Oh... and for a little behind the scenes.... Welcome to the life of a photographer!
And some of the girls 4th of July portraits this year...
and some from our Bubbilicious Event we had at the studio this summer (last Sat.)
It was so much fun! We have been staying SUPER busy this summer. We have been swimming at Mom's as much as possible. And we have been going out on our boat every Sunday after church. The kids just adore the water... and we are taking the time away from school to enjoy ourselves as a family! Enoch finished his last summer of t-ball (next year he will be playing baseball.. tear tear).
And some from the pool. nothing says summer more than popsicles ate at the poolside! The girls are really doing well swimming. Essa even jumps in and goes under.. its quite cute! They are very independent in the water- so if your close to them they will use you to kick off from!
And Enoch decided he wants to start folding and putting away his own laundry. I'm a bit of a perfectionists myself- so at first I wouldn't let him. I finally gave him the change- and I must say he completely blew me away. He does an amazing job. now he approaches me and says "Mom, can I do the laundry to help you out?" In ways, its sad to see them grow. But on the other hand- I love it. It helps so much.
And my 2 1/2 year old still bathing in the kitchen sink. (Ok... not on a normal basis, but when shes really dirty and I'm trying to clean the kitchen)!
And I did some bath time portraits of her for the month of June. I did them last year and when my computer crashed I lost them. I've been devastated ever since. So before she gets too big I thought I would do them again! And yes... I'm happy with the way they turned out!
And I just adore this one of Enoch i took last month as well. I wanted to show off his "foe-hawk". (And yes, that is the technical word for it-- I didn't make it up).
And Miss Eleesia in her tap shoes taken in May.
And Enoch has been in tae-kwan-d0 since Jan. but we finally bought him a uniform. So the first day they got it- they wanted to show them off!
And this was bike day at Mom's school back in May. We went to bike day, and water day as well. The kids had so much fun!
Just some more of the girls!
And this is the way we clean!!
So I must tell you this story. For our school project (in May) we watched tadpoles turn into frogs (collected from the nearby river)-- and catipillars turn into butterflys. When it was time to let them go, Enoch says "Mommy, do you think they will love me and want to stay here in our garden so they can see me?" Well, what do you say to that one? So sure enough- as soon as we let the thing go- it flew in a complete circle and landed no where else but right here...
So he says "MOMMY HE DOES LOVE ME!" Seriously.. how precious is that?!
And some of Enoch's t-ball portraits from this year...
This next one is his favorite because he doesn't like his hat!
I love this one... and apparently- he loves me.
And I wanted to share with you all Enoch's invitation we had for his "Reading Party" back in May. We celebrated because he got thru his Kindergarten Hooked on Phonics Program! Now we have moved on to 1st Grade!!
So here is a little clip of him reading...
So thats about it. I'm going to K.C. tomorrow to have Lasik Eye Surgery done on my eyes... I'm SOOO excited about that. And Adam bought a motercycle he has been working on fixing up. We are getting a lot of water time in.. and re-doing the studio (we ripped up the floors- so we now have hardwood floors). I'm also about to re-do my house. So.. things have been crazy and exciting. We are gearing up for school next month (trying to get everything organized so we can see what we need to buy for school supplies). So there are a just few pictures from our summer (well.. I guess since last April). But at least you can see whats up with our lives! Life is great!!
