Morning at the Arboretun

Granny came up for a short visit! We decided to spend a morning at Cox Arboretum and walk around. It was a beautiful day, but got hot quick! We had a lovely time :)

This turtle was enjoying the sunshine.

So many bumblebees!  

This one was so cute, scratching himself with his foot :)

I love waterfalls.

Sammy's Day Out

The homeschool moms had a planning meeting - that day of the year when they all decide what is going to happen to the students of next year while the kids run wild.  One family lives on a farm, and kindly "donated" it's front porch for planning, and the property for the kids to explore! I was disappointed not to be going, until I had a brilliant idea - Sammy needed to come! Sure enough, Sam loved his field trip to the farm, and the car ride there (he yelled, "Go! Go! Go!" for fifteen minutes.)  He ate [my] pizza and watched llamas and walked the quarter mile driveway all by his little self - and then walked back!  Squirt was tired by the time we were done . . . and so was I!  Still, we had a good day exploring the great outdoors :D

Myself and little Squirt

Walking together :)

Walking . . . not as together ;) 

We went down to a little creek :)  Michelle was nice enough to let him play in the water a little bit.

Walking back from the creek. It was a lot of walking!  Riley tried to carry Sammy boy back for me, but he got mad. This was the look he gave Riley. 

It's been a long, fun day!  We slept well that night!

Elizabeth Photo Shoot

Not long before dark, a quick photo shoot with my awesome gorgeous friend! 

Bible Photos

There was some beautiful light outside yesterday, just begging for a photoshoot!  I have been wanting to take picture of my Bible for some time now, and with the lovely flowers and overcast light, I couldn't hardly pass up the opportunity! 

Goofing Off In The Sunshine

A gorgeous day in the midst of April showers!  With temperatures settling around 80 degrees, it was a perfect day for some fun photos.  Sammy and I had a short but semi-professional shoot (which may have turned out a bit great, thank God for that Magnolia tree!)  Madi and I took turns with my nice DSLR until the battery was nigh dead and we were hot and sweaty.  We finished our outdoor session with My Little Pony and Popsicles and Ice Cream!

Madi took this picture of me.  First time using my camera. Not bad, girly!

Hooray for cute flip flops!

Squirt's Teeth XD

We like to do crazy things ;)

Gorgeous flower petals everywhere!

Don't you just love this picture of Sammy Boy?

Spring Break in KY

Once again we took our spring break at Granny and Papa's house.  Unfortunately, this year wasn't very warm.  We had a bit of sunshine the first day, and after that it snowed . . . and kept snowing!  We spent most of the week indoors.  Here are some pictures :)

Flowers are in bloom.  If they survived the March snow.

Bible study at the house on Sunday :)

Don't  you just love Papa's Bible?

A lot of Solitaire was played! 

Movies were watched.

Kitty cats joined us in front of the fire :D

And Aly decided we needed to model, after about 10 hours of America's Next Top Model.  Exclusively at Granny's house ;)

Doesn't she look like Emma Watson/Hermione?
