More Pictures

Last week I took the girls to the Benson Grist Mill to have their pictures taken by our friend, Keli. She is a FABULOUS photographer! I love the pictures she took of the girls! Taylor was feeling a little mellow that day and went for the more serious look, but even those turned out so cute! If you are looking for a good photographer, please call her! Her website is http://kelibphotography.blogspot.com

Thanks again, Keli! We'll be calling soon to have you do some family pics!

Friday night

I went on a date Friday night!!!

(And it didn't include grocery shopping!)
This is what he brought me when he came home from work to pick me up:

Don't I have the sweetest hubby ever??? We went with some of our very good friends, the Holbrooks, to eat at the Olive Garden and then went out for some dessert.

An absolutely wonderful evening!! Thanks for the roses, honey!

I wuv you!

Pictures

I found a few (ok, more than just a few) cute pictures on my computer that I thought I'd put up today just for fun... I love looking back at my little angels and seeing how they've grown and changed -- time goes by way too fast!Kylie (May 2006)

Picture Day

A couple of weeks ago, Kylie's school held their yearly picture day.

I sent her off to school in her chosen outfit, hair freshly done and told her to smile her best ... deep down inside praying for no spills, dirt from the playground or injuries from recess.

Well, the long awaited day came yesterday - Kylie brought her pictures home!

I love them! They are perfect!

Her hair looks fabulous, I love the new pose and she has a clean face.

But, she also looks like she is in a little bit of pain. . .

So, what to do?

Retakes? Just to go through all of this again for potentially the same result?

or

Frame it up and put it on the wall and smile every time I walk by knowing that some goofy photographer was trying the very best they could to make her laugh and her little teenage personality was thinking as she clenched her teeth and smiled the best she could,

"Seriously? You're kidding, right?"
