Shhhh, we are making memories

I decided it had been long enough since the last time I took pictures with my boys.

I grabbed my tripod and a blanket and yelled for my boys to come outside with me.

Then I started grabbing, tickling, and talking to my little men.

When will I ever learn not to tell my boys they can attack me?

I want them to see picture time as special time with me.

It does not mean stop playing and smile at the camera.

It means come here and let me show you how much I love you.

I love them for the rough little boys they are.

And I they know it.

Rockets Over Rhema ~Broken Arrow, Ok

We have attended Rocket’s Over Rhema for several years.

It is held by our church so I figure we really should go!

We do not usually stay for the whole thing but we do go to the patriotic tribute in the beginning.

Our Pastor’s, Pastor Kenneth Hagin and Lynette.

My favorite part!

There are live concerts going on outside.

This is the churches Axis Youth Band.

There are A LOT of people!

A small car show.

My boys were a little excited we bought them cotton candy.

I made sure it tasted okay for them.

It is the kind of parent I am.

I always go the extra mile…

My youngest lost his balloon minutes after getting it.

It took a little bit to get the lower lip to go back in.

I kept going on and on about how his balloon was flying so high.

What finally sold it was when I made up a story about a bird finding it and trying to figure out what it was.

So beautiful.

It is an amazing event, although a little bit crowded for my taste.

If you like fireworks and the excitement of big crowds, this is the perfect event for you!

The Girls with the Curls

I was able to take my favorite little curly headed girls to the park with my boys!

She is getting too big.

She is so adorable!

Big sisters are always there to help us go faster.

Hiding from my youngest.

There was a lot of chasing and hiding going on.

Hanging out.

Look at the squirrel!

He was walking with Ava and I heard him saying, “And I lost my dinosaur, I do not know where it is and I cannot find it.” In a very serious voice.

She came over all concerned and asked, “Do you know where Caden’s dinosaur is? He lost it!”

I had to tell her no, she continued to frown and shake her head at the lost toy.

I think he has found a little sympathizer.

“I help, you will not fall.”

She took a break on the blanket and wanted me to tickle her over and over.

I cannot say no to that face.

Justin was there just not in the shot. 4 kids and no tripod = no retakes!

I love that my friend has little girls.
