A day at the Beach

Well, not exactly. . . or not at all. This is just outside our back door. Thus the concrete, stones, and dog.

That looks like a great shot right?? Well, let's look a little closer.

Here's "Mr. NoEyes"


And "Mr. CrookedMouth-WeirdGrin"


We have enjoyed the small respite from Winter these last few days. It's back to blustery and chilly today, but we don't feel bad. We took advantage of every warm day this week.


My little Beach Bums even got Sunburned necks! Guess that's confirmation that we have two Red-necks. ugggg


They made this lovely configuration all by themselves! It's just what they do! If they have access to lots of toys they line them all up. Whether it's 150 matchbox cars or 4 chairs. Hmmm wonder if they got Rodney's "superorganizational" gene???? One can hope.

Trying to get a good picture

Sunday was the first day Gideon ever wore a tie. So, naturally, I wanted to get a picture of him all dolled up.
I run for my camera before they can mess up their hair or otherwise wreck themselves. Then I enlist my hubby to get them to look at me and pose.

Here are the results of the impromptu Sunday Morning Photo Session:


I should have quit after the first 2 pictures. That is apparent now.

Rodney's attempt to get them to sit up straight resulted in this:

leaning boys.


Look up. Not so far up.

ahhhhh








Have ya had enough Gabe?


leaning again.

not sure how this happened


Well, this was the best I could do with the "first tie" boy.

Does anyone else struggle to get nice pictures of their kids?? Is it just me?

How to avoid having a home you love

Hey everyone! I've been out of town on a short little trip. We saw the weather report and decided to go visit Rodney's Parents for the weekend. (Our weekend is Friday and Saturday because we sort of have to be home for Sundays.)

Here is a post that I thought was Great! It really helped me since I just can't seem to get my house how I want it.

Check it out here. Hope you enjoy it.
