That Time of Year.

My Kids.

Last minute decided to take my kids to do fourth of july pictures.  

But when we got to our "location" it was way too hot. 

 So we ditched the posed picture idea.  

Played in the water.
Had lots of fun.
(And what do you know, I still got some super cute pictures!)

 

4th of July {mini's}

Say it with me.... awwwww.

More pictures of my cutie patootie niece. Love her. So do my kids.  My girls fight over who gets to hold her.  And yet if you ask them if mommy should have another baby, they both say no.  Hmmm.  Guess we will just have to borrow Hazel every once in awhile {wink}.

Baby Hazel.

Meet Hazel Milan.  

My newest niece. She is absolutely scrumptious.

And because it is my right as an aunt.  

I will say it again.  She is absolutely scrumptious.

8 hours old and I am fairly certain

She already has me wrapped around her little finger.

Some Days.

Sometimes when you walk into the room.  You see your two year old.  Sitting on the treadmill.  Eating a stick of butter.  And you just know it's just been one of those days.  The kind where your bagel and cream cheese, apple slices, and steamed zucchini... just wasn't enough.  I mean, I would go for the chocolate when I have one of "those days".  But whatevs.  To each their own.

 

 

*and just because some people don't have a sense of humor and might be worried. She did not get to eat the whole stick of butter. I took it away after taking pictures. But only after pictures. Because that's what good moms do. Always take pictures first. And then we put that butter back in the fridge. Because I am also a frugal mom. Butter ain't cheap my friends. Plus we all know the real reason you have butter is to make cookies. And everyone knows that toddler slobber bakes out when making cookies. Duh. So no need to waste nibbled butter. Common sense here folks.

Eclipse.

I don't have the right equipment for amazing pictures.  But it was kind of fun to try.
