Love is in the Air

(this one is my favorite)

My little brother is getting married in August. It was so much fun taking their engagement pictures. I hope they love them as much as I do. Honestly one of the easiest photo shoots I have done. They were so much fun, relaxed and in LOVE. I Think it shows in the photos. It's going to be impossible for them to choose just one.

Happy Happy Birthday!

Mckenna's Birthday was a success!

Our present (a rope swing) however, was not. She is terrified of it, can't get on it, and pretty much hates it! I guess we were lucky she didn't like it too much, because Annie chewed it to pieces last night. Hurray for dog ownership!

I love to see the Temple

(Yes he is spitting the water... and yes he'll probably get jardia. I wonder where his mother is?)

They know I love the temple.

So they love it too!

What a blessing, my family... is mine forever!

Papa

I remember when Brad & I found out we were expecting our first baby; she would be the first grandchild in my family. I couldn't picture my dad as a grandpa. Now as I watch I don't know why I ever wondered. He is so natural and amazing with my kids. He adores them and they adore him. I love these pictures, when I opened them up for the first time, I cried. They just express their relationship so perfectly. My kids are blessed to be surrounded by people who love them so much. I honestly believe the one thing every child needs is to be surrounded by family who love them this deeply.

T-W-O

Two, that what he is and he lets us know daily.

All of this, because some girl took this...

Our Boy

I cannot believe our little guy will be two soon. It feels like a life time ago that we brought home a new addition to our growing family. At that time I didn't understand how much he would hold my heart. I am completely in love with him. I am hopeless. Everyday brings a more handsome, smart and loving baby. Who is suddenly becoming all boy. Gone are the sweet baby smells they've been traded in for a sweaty boy scent. Gone are the chubby legs and cherubic cheeks. Replaced with skinned knees and messy bugger face. Gone is the familiar newborn cry. Instead the all too terrible tantrums and screams. And yet I am more enchanted everyday with my growing, changing, loving, BOY. And who could blame me, after all he is so dang cute!

We love birdies & wormies

For McKenna's Preschool Field trip we went to the Aviary. I was such a nice day.

Notice Ethan trying to be like the big kids. He is growing up too fast.

These girls are the best of friends. From the first day of preschool they bonded, and are inseparable.

McKenna's favorite part was feeding the ducks. There were tons of little ducklings... so cute.

She has such a funny little personality. Nothing like a winter scarf and Dora hat to finish off your spring outfit. She wanted to wear her gloves too, until I told her she couldn't play in the dirt with them on.

Is it strange that my kids love worms? Seriously its a new obsession for them. First thing, every time we go outside, they go worm hunting. Ethan even cries if he can't find one. I hate worms...GROSS!

I love his expression in this picture (minus the buggers of course)! He is so curious, and interested in everything especially gross wiggling things.
