Beau's Favorite Snack Spot

Beau decided that his alligator push toy is the perfect seat to pull up to the shelf in our kitchen when enjoying a snack.

So proud of his discovery!

Glamour Shots

Justin snapped these pics of Beau playing on our bed the other day, & they crack me up.  He looks like he's posing for nude photos.  I promise he has a diaper on, even in the fourth one where you definitely can't see it.  Love those baby blues!

Pillow Play

The couch pillows in our living room take quite a beating, but somehow they're the perfect plaything to my kids.  Whether their pretend play has turned those pillows into a pool, a car or just a fun place to jump, there's much fun to be had!

Who Needs Toys?

A bowl of cheerios, a big spoon & a bottle of vitamins provide plenty of fun.  No need for real toys!

Outtakes from the Beach

With a family the size of ours, & as many little ones as we have, our photo sessions usually have more "bloopers" than keepers.  Here are few, for your amusement.

Justin always has to test our chosen spot once he gets the camera set up, which results in some awkward looking photos of him by himself...

or perhaps with another test subject.

Most of us are doing all right in this one, but check out Jake & Mallory.

This is more typical for our kids than perfectly posed smiles.

 

Bored, annoyed & held captive

But the outtakes also capture some sweet shots here & there, like this one!

And this, which is one of my faves from this year

The boys' shirts were removed for popsicle eating, & somehow we ended up at belly bumping.

 

And a couple more of Jake, who always provides more than his fair share of less-than-perfect pictures.
