I love rainy days!

I am not sure how you feel about the rain, but down here in Houston it means it's going to be a little cooler. That makes it wonderful!!

Never mind that within 24 hours it will be hot again.

And then it will be nasty and humid.

Which means the mosquitoes will be out soon.

But first it means a few hours of cooler temps and the perfect time to be outside. The complete overcast makes it PERFECT for taking pictures! (as long as there is no lightening)

The second shot is a little dark for my normal liking, but in this picture I think it works. Tell me, what do you think.?

Baby "C" is 10 months old.

I squeezed in a little session this morning. Even though it was raining, we were able to get some great pictures! Here is one that I was able to get to before running out to do my laundry list of errands. Yuck!!

Looking at this sweet face puts a smile back on mine!

Sneak Peak of the "W" kids.

Wow! These kids were a photographer's dream. Not once did they lose the smile on their face! Thank you so much for coming out yesterday. I am so glad we missed the rain!

VBS Week

VBS was a crazy week.

It was however a week filled with God's love! I thoroughly enjoyed Grace coming home everyday yelling "Jesus is real!!!" It was so cute. I can always count on her telling me what the lesson for the day was. The other two?? Well I have to pretty much drag it out of them. It's pretty hard to do that with Joshua. He was usually asleep before we made it out of the parking lot.

Here are a few pictures to share from the week.


Grace and her sweet friend doing the chicken dance.




My future daughter-in-law.




Grace is finally over her stage fright.
This is her singing in the program on the last day of VBS.



Joshua playing with one of his best friends.

This is Elli...she is a sweet princess from Guatemala.
She is my BFF's princess, and I get to spoil her! :)



You may not get who this is from the back, but this is Noah.
He is another of my BFF's sweet angels.



Oh, here she is again. You can't see them here, but she has dimples that are irresistible!



Grace playing one of the recreation games. This was so fun to watch!



Grace and her new friend walking in to the church from music.

Anna and her best friend.

Do you remember laughing this hard? I do. I remember my best friend in Jr. High, we used to laugh so hard that Dr. Pepper would come out of our noses! This usually followed our competition of who could stick the most Jello squares to the ceiling.

Yes, we were dorks.

This is Anna and her best friend "E" at the Boys and Girls country last month. I LOVE these pictures!!







Hopefully I will be getting back on track with my posting now. Last week was VBS and this weekend Rodney and I went out of town with two other couples. I wasn't able to get any pictures because everyone wanted to make cameras off limits for the weekend. I guess it worked out though, I spent the entire weekend by the pool, taking naps, sleeping in, and eating chocolate!! yippee!!!

Sneak Peak of Baby "K"

I am so exhausted and VBS starts EARLY for me, BUT I couldn't stand waiting to go through these pictures.

Then I had to edit a couple so I could share them.

What do you think? Color or BW or both?

Momma...I cannot wait to go through the rest of the pics!!

Grace went missing...or so I thought.

Grace was very whiny today.

So much so that she spent alot of time in her room.

This afternoon when daddy got home he took her out to play for awhile. Mommy ruined it by calling them in half an hour later for dinner. She ate well, but then she wanted to go back outside. By this time the mosquitoes were in full force, daddy was crashed out, and So You Think You Can Dance was on. I was not going outside!!

When she decided to throw a fit I sent her to her room.

Usually she just comes down after awhile and all is well after her apology. But this time...an hour went by (without me really noticing) and I went looking for her.

Where was Grace?? (you must know that sometimes she likes to try and walk out to a friends house by herself)




This is what I saw when I went in her room. (oh and it was dark, here I had a flash)

Do you see it??





Let me help you out a bit.





TOO FUNNY!!!

Not surprising though...she falls asleep on the floor every now and then.

Just never under the bed before. :)

MMM...(many more Monday)

I thought instead of FFF (favorite foto Friday), I would do a Monday post instead. I always have so much catching up to do from the weekend! I can never really pick just one picture anyways. :)

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. I had to take a special moment out and pray for all of my family members in the military.


Grace dressed up as "Bible Girl"



I have no idea what this was...I just thought it looked cool.



I do not like fireworks. Let me correct myself. I enjoy watching fireworks at places like Disney World and such, but NOT at home. I spend all of my time making sure the kids don't burn up! It makes me so nervous!!!!!! Aack!!!

Did I mention that my husband LOVES to shoot fireworks???? And since I don't like them, he has created a bonding opportunity with Anna. It works, she LOVES them!





In between chasing kids I took the opportunity to take some pictures. (of course)

Isn't this purty?? :)



After the 4th celebration we went to my mom's on Sat. and celebrated Joshua's birthday.

Here he is blowing out his candles.

(my mom insists that I tell you the cake was just a "quicky"....hee hee. She did not try and get the colors or anything right. Believe me, she amazes me with her cakes!! I will post one of my wedding cake sometime. She just decorated this one really quickly because the kids were hungry! (Joshua doesn't know any better anyways, he thinks it was Wall-E's friend)



He can NEVER resist stealing a lick!! :)

I wish I would have caught a picture of what he did later to the cake. Of the cake that was left, I think he licked off 1/4 the icing. Oops...who was supposed to put the cake away???



My grandmother and her great-grand babies.



If you have read my blog at all, then you would know that usually it's Joshua sleeping in strange positions. Here is one I caught of Grace before I woke her up for church.

Yes, that is our coffee table. :)




"Working at the car wash..."



Something fun to do on those HOT Texas days!!!
