life with a 5 yr old boy- oh my!!!

so far (in five years) we have managed to avoid any nasty 'boo-boos".....well,
thank the Lord for angels!! my sweet MAC has quite a nasty "scratch" that COULD have been SOOOOOOO much worse!!! look below:

even though he was TOLD to put down the 4 ft wooden stake (to stake off tomatoes)- and NOT to slide down his slide with it in his hand.....well, you can see the result. he even has a little mark on his earlobe. hopefully next time he will be a little more obedient- and we will faster on our feet!!

yes, this is a daily ritual (in some form or another)...playing 'rough"

hahahaah!!! i LOOOOOVE this photo! he does this almost everytime he plays in the sprinkler!!!

and he always looks stunned after the fact---heehee

my sweet MAC- the day we took this photo he was spraying the hose in the air making rainbows for me, in honor of 'gift day' . he told me "you know why its gift day?? because i love you". my sweet boy!

i have a lot of photos to catch up on....but not today...i here my Doodle-Bear waking up!!

Family Photos!!!

it has been WAAAAYY to long since this family had a photo session..as in MAC was 1 yr-old. so last week we remedied that!! i am so blessed to have two photographers in my life. my sister is one(she took the boys photos a few weeks ago- they are posted previously)....and my sweet friend Leisha is the other. Leisha INSISTS that she isn't a photographer...but she is.
while visiting b'ham last week we met up for a photo shoot- all 4.5 (bunny is still in the oven) of us!!! i'm SOOOOO pleased with the way the photos turned out!!

one of my favorites is currently the header for this blog! there is NO telling what i was laughing at- T was in rare form that day and who knows what he said!!!

i'm not sure what they were looking at...but i love this one~~

MAC was LOVING the creek....this was before he slipped!

yeah, we weren't quite as comfortable in front of the camera as the boys were...

a family shot! poor doodle bug looks a little stunned....but he's teething...

sweet baby blues!!! (and a little grass on the chin for good measure)

ooooh yeah!!! flying and being bounced- what more could a 7 mo old ask for?

Leisha even managed to get MAC to smile!!! this is a rarity in photos!! well, unless you count the goofy smiles I usually get.

he was LOVING the creek~

thanks again Leisha for taking some great photos!!! i'll have to book an appointment again next time we are in town!!!
