Just Because...

she's so darn cute!

 *quick side note on this one...Adam taught her to say "I am not a crook" while holding her fingers like this. Apparently a Richard Nixon thing? I don't know...she started doing this to tell us how old she is! Now it's always "I ammn't a crook" Oh, and Adelle created the word "ammn't". They all still say it!*

even when she's doing this...

We Love Leila!!

A Summertime Favorite

My girls have been begging and begging to have corn on the cob. So when we went grocery shopping last week, I picked some up for us. Around here the rule is...if you want to eat it, you have to help husk it. Not a problem for these girlies! I think they enjoyed this more than actually eating it! *which btw, I did take pics of, but I can't remember which memory card they are on!*

Lovin' me some BLUE ice cream!!!
Not loving the blurriness of this picture...but check out the mess she was making! Miraculously I DID manage to get that dress clean. No blue stains, can you believe it?!

My Favorite Soldier...recent photoshoot

My cousin is home on a 2 week leave from Iraq, and his wife wanted a family picture done before he went back. So I happily obliged :) Enjoy!

This is my all time favorite picture!!! I ran PW's "seventies" action on it in photoshop.

Finishing up the job!

Thanks Uncle Chris!

Where Did My Baby Go?

Abbie had a big thing happen today. I'll let the pictures tell the story.

 

Having second thoughts?

 

The moment of impact :)

That's it? I'm done?

 

That wasn't so bad!

 

Abbie girl, you are growing up so fast. I remember when you were the teeny tiny 6 lb bundle we flew home with from Florida. We were first time parents and had no idea what we were doing :) Fortunately we figured it out (I think?!) and you are becoming a wonderful young lady. We thank God and S everyday for the wonderful gift of being your mommy and daddy. We are so proud of you!

Love, Mommy and Daddy
