So many

I feel like I should apologize for the amount of pictures I take of the kids jumping on the trampoline.   I take so many.

Annalise's hair in these is pretty stellar.  These two are such cute buddies!  I just wish Cameron would be as nice to Olivia as he is to Annalise.  I mean he is nice to Olivia sometimes, but not all the time.  And he is never mean to Annalise.  Just a benefit of being the baby, I guess.  Lucky little Leesie. 

Thoughtful Leesie

She looks thoughtful.  And also kind of grumpy.  Just a random picture I took when I got my 85 mm in the mail and wanted to take a picture with it.  But it's not really an inside lens, as our house is too small and it zooms in too much.  But I still took this picture anyway.

I can't believe this girl is going be three soon. 

And also Jace is going to be 10 one month from today.  Double digits.  I need to take him out and do a photo session.  Although that might be a bit difficult, because he is always so goofy and silly when I get the camera out.  But I guess I'll force him to do it.  And bribe him with ice cream or something.  

Yeah, that's a good plan. 

Grandma jumps!

Grandma and Paka were here for Easter!  I documented very little.  But I did take these pictures of Grandma jumping on the trampoline with the kids.  We had a great time with them while they were here.  Grandma helped the kids make confetti eggs, which is a tradition I used to do when I was little with my siblings, and which I've yet to carry on with my kids because its a huge mess and things are always crazy.  But now that we've done it once, I'm sure the kids won't let me skip doing it ever ever again.  Which is good.

Also in one of the pictures with the kids sitting around Grandma, Olivia has snot shooting straight out of her nose.  A big thick stream of it.  So disgusting.  But also kind of hilarious. 

Trampoline play while ago

I've got a little behind with documenting the photos from the big camera.  Not that far behind, as I've actually taken very little photos with the big camera.  But enough behind to not even remember when this was.  Also I feel like maybe I already put these on here, but I've searched back a little ways and haven't seen them.  So I'm hoping and thinking that I didn't.

Anyway, these were from the days when spring was hit and miss, and it was still mostly winter.  And maybe pretty soon after Olivia got her hair cut.  She sported a wavy hair look that day for church and I LOVED it.  And I've yet been able to replicate fixing it like that.  So I'm not sure I remember exactly what I did to get to looking for perfectly wavy.  Oh well. 

Three stooges

One day when Jace was out helping Brice on the house he's building, I was bored so I bribed the three stooges that were home with me to let me take some pictures of them.  And so that's where these came from.

Witching hour snacking

I love Leesie's messy hair in these.  Also it was really only like 6:30 when these photos were taken.  Yup, I put the girls to bed at 6:30.  Earlier, if I can get away with it.  Mostly because neither of them nap anymore, and they are so done with the day by 6:30.  Plus I'm done with the day by then, too.  Now that Liv has swim lessons that don't get done until 6:00, bedtime has been a little bit later, and we are all feeling it.  Annalise actually fell asleep in my arms at the McDonald's play place last week, and then another afternoon last week she fell asleep on my bed while she was hiding from the big bad wolf.  I could try and start making her nap again, but I think we'll just stick with trying to do early bedtimes, and then the occasional nap when she just can't take it anymore :)
