Fall is in the air...

Fall is definately in the air around here. It feels so good to wake up to cool crisp mornings and I just love little sweaters. Here is little sis' in her first sweater of the season...

Stinkin' cute...
Surprise "M" (oh wait, not much of a surprise anymore)...Last week I was so excited to take some pictures of one of my best friends kids. She has a cute boy "R" and adorable twin girls "S" and "S". The twins are usually so happy, in fact, I had never heard them cry until our little photo shoot...they obviously did not like me or my camera in their faces...I did however manage to get a few pics of them...

first up, big bro. "R"




next up, "S" who wanted nothing to do with me...she just wanted to be held by "nana"



finally, "S" who was not quite sure about me at first but warmed up by the end...

and, the twins with their darling cousin....they were born just 3 days apart...

hope you had a great birthday "M", I can't wait to get together on tuesday!

Just Chillin'...
A few of big bro. chillin' on the couch after school...

Power Rangers and Dolls
I just love to watch and listen when big bro. and little sis are playing with their toys. It is so funny the difference in the way they play. Big bro. is so rough and uses all kinds of sound effects while little sis is so gentle and so girly. I love it when they get so involved in play that they do not notice anything else around them. Just a few pics of the two of them at play...

Cowboy "T"...
Yesterday I had such a fun time taking pictures of this cute little cowboy. He wasn't too thrilled about pictures at first but he soon warmed up and started to smile and laugh. He showed me all of his horses and told me all of their names, he even showed me how he feeds them...cowboy T has this darling cowboy hat and chaps but he refused to wear them....oh well, we got some cute pics anyway. Here is a little peek K, thanks so much...I hope you like them...

(beware...picture overload)

lollipop, lollipop, ooooh lolli, lolli, lolli, lollipop...

I am loving her new hair accessory...

Soccer...
Big bro. started soccer last month and he is loving it. He gets so excited for his games and asks all day if it is time to go yet. The minute he puts on his soccer uniform he gets this attitude of "look how cool I am..." His team consists of kindergarten and 1st graders and it is amazing how much taller and how much faster 1st graders are. He did score a goal at his last game so he was very excited. He looked over at me to make sure I was watching and then he was all grins. It is so fun and so entertaining to watch him!!


and,a few more of my little fairy...

Fairy and Airplanes...

Last weekend my mom and I along with my sister-in-law and my aunt went on a little shopping spree and boy did we have fun!! Here are a couple of the items I picked up...
first, a darling fairy costume for little sis (I think this may have to be her Halloween costume). She was thrilled to put it on but quickly got tired of the wings (before I bought it I knew she wouldn't keep the wings on but I just had to get it. I did however manage to snap a few photos before the wings came off)

next up, some awesome vintage airplanes to decorate big bro's bedroom...

Cousins...
One of the best things about living so close to family is that my kids get to play with their cousins. It has been so great having so many cousins to play with. Growing up some of my best friends were my cousins. I am so happy now that my kids will be able to play with and be great friends with their cousins...

I love these first two--the lighting was perfect!
