Dress Up - Early June

Fancy Ladies!! Those are aprons from my great grandmother. They have been carefully preserved and protected all of these years so that they could be passed down as treasured gifts from the past. So, you know, I gave them to my toddlers to play with. Kathryn likes to "pose" and it always turns out that the poses require closed eyes...and a weird hand gesture. She also likes props, such as fake potted plants or wands. Hannah is content to be lovely without any frills and furbelows.

Kathryn's Creative Movement Performance - end of May










I'm not really sure what to say about these pictures. :) Kathryn is the one in the middle. I tried to get pictures of the front of her about 40 times. There weren't many times she was facing me close up. She kept turning her back and spinning around every time I would get close to a good picture! The entire thing was pretty hilarious. The teacher would say, "Be a tree, you're a tree!" And they would be trees. Then they would "get their own space" and be a seed. It just went on like that. The music was also very hippie-esque. They would freeze and their faces were so serious. You could tell they had practiced hard. :)

It's been a long, long time...

As everyone already knows, we've moved and have spent the last few months getting settled and unpacked. I have been getting a large amount of hate mail from my friends and family about updating this blog. I finally found the cord that goes from the camera to the computer. So, without further delay....Summer Memories!!!

This was in May. Kathryn still had her long hair and Baby Bomb was only 6.5 months old. We're at the ranch looking picture perfect.











Ok, so now we're starting to lose the moment. Kathryn wants to leave and I'm trying to get her to get back in the picture. Hannah has no idea what to do with James who is flailing around wondering why I am not holding him.








We are now in stage 3. K. has totally given up on us but Hannah is bound and determined to look adorable for the camera. James is seriously about to lose it.










Now we're pouting until further notice.
