It’s all fun and games until you have to sit down

My boys were out playing in the beautiful weather we are having right now in Oklahoma the other night. I could have stayed out all night, so gorgeous! Anyway, my oldest got in a little bit of trouble so I made him sit next to me.

He was hopeful when I started taking pictures that he was not really in trouble.introuble

Then he found out he really was in trouble and I am just mean.introuble3

Then he forgot it all when he realized we were sitting in the spot on the driveway that echo’s. echo1

To my delite…I mean chagrin…oh forget it! I was happy that Caden got in trouble also! He was not happy with his camera happy mother though. introublecaden

And being the nice mommy I am I just kept on snapping. He is cute when he is mad! mommy'smean

Then there is this beautiful little boy! He does not actually mind me that much!

I can’t decide which one I like more? beautifulboy

Stephanie’s Family Carnival! ~Tulsa Area Family Photographer

I call them my test subjects/models or in other words good friends. My boys think they should see lily once a week and start going through withdrawal if it has been too long!

I think we have really dug a big hole now though, they went to the Illinois River Balloon Fest with us and I am a little worried that the boys might think Lily and Ava should come to every festival with us from now on.

The boys and Lily got to go on their first Carnival rides! It was a little unnerving for me to watch my son “give” Lily a ride.justin&lily

Then I got to take some really casual family pictures! They were so much fun!watchingrides

Most of the family. The two older one’s were out riding and rides and walking around.familyrides
