Summer is Here

Scarlett graduated from Kindergarten last week.  The twins finish up the 3's class this Thursday.

We're excited for summer.. Birthday parties, road trips, baby Montoya arrival, swimming and more...

The 4 wheeler never gets old.

They love making and viewing videos of themselves.

She picks chocolate every time.

Caroline picked one of these Black Eyed Susans and Grandma Tricia gave her a vase.  It is now sitting on my kitchen table.  She walked around with it all day.

The girls like to pick out out their own outfits and Maddy was set on wearing polka dot tights.  We warned her it may be too warm out.   She wore them all day.

This is what happens when I ask for a picture of the three of them. Typical.

Weekend Snapshots

Feeling so blessed on this Mother's Day.  

Not only do I have the honor of raising these girlies but we are surrounded by the most amazing grandmothers. 

Prayers tonight for expecting moms, those trying to conceive, and single mamas. 

A co-worker and friend has started her own photography business.  She's always been so good at taking pictures and has such a creative side to her.

Here are some of the pics she took for us at her most recent mini session.

Caroline.  A funny thing she said yesterday before we left Grandma's house. "Mama, my best day is the day you don't ask me to go potty."  haha.

Bluebonnet Bust

We found a small field but the girls weren't interested.  The field wasn't very dense anyway.

There were too many ladybugs for Scarlett to capture.  Caroline didn't want to get out of the wagon and Maddy was busy snacking the whole time.

Owell.. The weather was nice and it was good to get out and explore.

They wanted to check out the lake afterwards.  We got some sweet snapshots.

My favorite.

The twins were singing a very repetitive song that they made up that is known to drive me crazy.

Tomorrow, we are taking pictures with Angela and I'm excited!

A Field of Flowers

Our plan was for a long walk or ride in the double stroller.  But we saw these bright yellow flowers and I just couldn't help but to take pictures.

Their Aunt Meghan got them these pretty dresses a while back. 

We did finish our walk and Maddy pointed out the turtles.

On the Farm

They love the country.

They love dressing up.  And they love the color pink. 

 They love to pretend..  Caroline paddling her way back to the house.. Occasionally throwing the anchor down to fish...

They love getting their hands dirty.

They're a mess.  Each different in their own ways.  It's hard to believe how much love one mama can have for each of her children.

Warm Winter Days

We love the sun and random warm days in January.

The girls brought their favorite stuffed animal and we went walking.

Holiday Snapshots

We had a lovely Christmas.  And it even snowed on Christmas Day! We were so excited and it was so pretty.

Only a handful of pictures were taken and I always wish I'd taken more. 

Christmas Eve at Grandma Tricia's and Papa Jamie's.

The day after it snowed..

Static hair!

 Visited with out of town cousins.

We spent Christmas Day at home.  My parents came by before church.  The girl's opened their santa gifts and they played the entire day.  My brothers were out of town this year.  We sure did miss them and their families.

Looking forward to 2013!
