Sunday in the sunshine

Aaaahhh...
The weather here in Helena has been so nice the past few weeks and my kids looked so adorable yesterday that I decided I needed to get out the camera and take some pictures to capture these precious moments. (I know. Cheese for ya. Right there.)
The previous owners of the house did a lot of landscaping in the backyard and while we don't really love some parts of it, it does make a nice backdrop for pictures. (Plus the kids love to hide in all the trees and bushes.)
So here's some of my favorite shots from our pleasant Sunday afternoon:


Our beautiful Rebecca

I've loved this dress since it was Samantha's. Rebecca seems to be dancing for the camera in this one!

Someday I'll get a more natural smile from this pretty girl. It comes out every once in a while, but I think with all the sun and her awareness of the camera yesterday this is as good as she could give me. Funny little face!

Samantha took this one.

Love the expression on Logan's face here. I'm also glad that Samantha's hair fell between her legs in just the right spot...

More kisses

Rebecca was a very tired girl by the time I took this one. I'm glad Luke was able to follow my direction to kiss her cheek though!

Logan loves to talk and I'm sure that he was talking to me when I took this. :o)

Sweet Logan

I begged Ross to tighten his tie up and come outside for a picture. He wasn't thrilled, but he did it and I'm glad. Happy wife, happy life, right? ;o)

I love it that you just paused life to take some pictures in the back yard. Sometimes Jeff is the one who gets this done in our family. But it needs to be me too! I love your pretty girls and handsome boys. Give them hugs from us.

Hi. I just read your other blog. you didn't tell me you had another blog. I like it, but I can't seem to find a way to comment on it. I just wanted you to know that I like it. And, I like you.

Cute, cute pics. My favorite is the one of Samantha kissing Logan too. Thats a forever keeper!
And I can so relate to how happy you were to get Ross to come out to take one with you. Dave is the same way. He'll do it but its reluctant. All I care about is the outcome though.
And you had the same surgery as Ella? No way! Did you have problems like she did with being able to "feel when it was time" afterwards? Its hard because she never knew what it felt like before, her having the surgery so young. I am so intrigued. I never knew anyone else who had the surgery for reflux before.
