You are my sunshine...

So I feel really bad that its taken me so long to get this post out. I have started it three or four times now and just havent been able to devote enough time to get it finished. To make matters worse Ben bought me a fancy new camera a couple of weeks ago. Since then I have been a bit picture happy and because of my new classes that I'm taking I have also been a bit editing happy too. So sorting thru 200 some odd pictures and then editing said pictures has been a bit labor intensive. The funny part is its been seriously fun!!! I am loving taking pictures of the kids and then making them look great. I know its no where near what it could be (and will be with practice and some classes I am planning to take) but please be patient with me over the next few days while I get my backlog on the blog and then try my best to keep up the steady pace I had before. 

Here is a little peak at my new toy and some of the resulting pictures. I know Lina has a bruise that I could have so totally removed. But I figured that I would get them on here instead of spending any more time tinkering with them. More pics to come over then next few days.

George decided to attempt the jump picture that I got of his sister. We didnt really time it right the first time around, but that was the only chance he was willing to give me. Much more important things to do, like picking dandelions. 

Everyone is happy when the sun is out around here. Its amazing what a few hours in the sunshine will do for some grumpy preschoolers. It even makes them bring me "bootifull" flowers.  

Here is my beautiful Carolina enjoying being in front of the camera. She really was enjoying the weather and her attitude showed it.

I tried my hand at making some hair bows the other day. It wasn't quite as easy as I thought it was going to be and each one took much longer then I thought it was going to. Making things isnt really my "thing" and I lose interest quickly (no say it aint so, Mandi lose interest in something). Anyways I was able to get three or four made before I decided I was done with that little task. The kids were getting up from naps and hot glue gun + preschoolers didnt sound like a good idea to me. The moment Laney saw all the new bows she wanted them in her hair, all of them in her hair. The last two pictures are of what happens now when Laney says "CHEESE". I can feel the picture revolt coming soon. All of the kids got to the point where letting me take cute little pictures wasnt fun anymore and sitting still and cute wasnt an option any longer. 

Oh please baby girl... Give Mommy just a few more months. You are growing so fast and I feel like its just another thing that is slipping away from your baby days. Slow down baby girl...

It has been a really crazy week (as in week since Ben left last Wednesday) and I am so very glad that Ben will be home tomorrow. It has also been a very beautiful week. God must have heard all the whining I have been doing the past couple of weeks months about the weather. It has been warm and sunny for the past three days. Okay, so today was not quite as warm but the sun was out and that was enough for me.
