pics from our week

This is a post full of pics from our last couple of weeks that I have snapped here or at the park. We have spent several mornings at the park and spent our afternoons here playing. We have had some very nice weather. We have had a couple of rainy days this week but Ryan took the kids out to ride bikes in the rain and they had alot of fun. Again this week I don't have alot to blog about, we have just been enjoying Spring, and our schoolwork. Humdrum but happy :)
The days for the most part have been full of sunshine, smiles and laughter, as well as a meltdown from someone now and then. Picnics for lunch and dinner, a ring around the tub every night... Thats what we have been up to. Enjoying each day to the fullest and thanking God for our blessings which He abundantly supplies us with.

Oh Connie...these are some of the best brother & sister pictures! I love them all! Are they putting crawling bugs on Jacob's arm?? Ewwwww!

Lottie loves to watch bugs crawling on the driveway...HUGE fascination! She will follow them as long as they are walking.

I just love these pictures Connie! We're hoping for some warm weather this week so we can get out again. We've had plenty of rain for now!!
Have a great week, my friend. :)

You don't know how badly I want some of that warmer weather up here! Shorts and t-shirts outside? High of 40 here, and that's the warmest day lately. Saw people at the local ice cream stand that just opened eating ice cream, by a big snowbank! Too funny.

Great pictures and scrapping as always - you never disappoint!

You have a great talent in photography. I know I have said it before but these kiddos are beautiful. Your oldest daughter has a beautiful head of hair!!!!! Well they all do , but hers looks so thick and it is just gorgeous.

Love and blessings, Kristy

You're kids are going to grow up with the BEST childhood memories. It doesn't get much better than that.

By Paula, at April 6, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Connie my favorite part of this post is that Caitlyn is barefoot in most of the pics! I love that!
Your week sounds like my kind of week..enjoying life and slowing down to savor those rings around the tub...we all know it goes by too fast!

Beautiful pictures! They are so cute together.

Beautiful pictures of your three treasures. I love the one with the b/w picture behind it. I just may scraplift that idea from you. :-) Sometime, I'd love for you to tell me how you get your photos so big. I just love how the larger format shows the detail of your beautiful pics.

By Michelle R Photography, at April 6, 2008 at 10:47 PM
What can I say? Those are just stunning. With pictures like these, I want to have 2 more!!!

By Yoli, at April 7, 2008 at 5:09 AM

Beautiful! Very Impressed :D You have absolutely beautiful children!

Not to change the subject - but would love to chat. I was reading anothre blog and saw that you had left a post about HS your children. Ian actually went to school this year he is a 5th grades - taking mostly 6th grade classes. We are gearing up to HS again next year and as a family we are thrilled! I am always looking to extend my HS resources and friends for support - HS a middle schooler - yeah - I think that I am going to need support :D

Ladybug hugs,

By Gwen Oatsvall , at April 7, 2008 at 10:14 PM
your photography is amazing. I am always anxious to get on & see 'where' Miss Connie has taken pictures of the treasures this week! And the backdrops are always beautiful too!! We love "the woods" or anywhere where the kids can find water, dirt & possible critters! I think I will make an appointment to get some photographs done. You're up for it, right? Of course, we'll need a place to stay as well......(lol!!)

By Football and Fried Rice, at April 8, 2008 at 8:24 AM
These are just gorgeous! Do your kids get along as much as I envision them to? They are so sweet! Your son is so handsome and the girls are true beauties. You are blessed!

Looks like a great day outside. You always have the yummiest treats at the park. How do you bring popsicles etc to the park without them melting? deep question, I know.
