Spring Family Pictures

At the end of May we did a family photo shoot outdoors. I love outdoor shoots, there so personal. it did happen to be freezing that day so we had to change what we were planning on wearing but we did get some great shots. Here are a few of my favorites.

Robins

A robin built a nest in the light under our garage and laid 4 eggs. We got to watch them go from eggs to babies birds. After they hatched it was less than 3 weeks till they all flew away. It was a great process for the girls to watch and we learned a lot about Robins during this time. The coolest thing was they hatched on Mother's Day.

 This is one of the pictures I got of one of the baby birds hanging out waiting for food.

Memorial Day

On Sunday Jason was part of the service at church. On Monday we had a bbq at our house. Unfortunately we were inside because the weather wasn't very good but we still had a nice time. I saw a photo idea online of a baby in a camo onsie and then his Dad's military boots so I decided to do that.

Mother's Day

I had a nice Mother's Day. I got some cards and orchids which I love. I have quite a lot of orchids in my house right now. Jason and the kids took me to Red Lobster on Monday after to celebrate. The girls love going with Daddy to pick me out their cards for me. They also decorated me a cake, they were so proud.

Zoo

The weather has finally been nice enough to go to the zoo and the girls love going there. They have made a lot of updates to the zoo. The girls love the new bridge to walk over and see the ducks and swans. Here's a few pictures I took the last couple of times that we went.

Bubble time

The weather is finally starting to get nice after a really long winter. One day when it was nice outside we took the bubbles out and had some fun.

3 year check up

A week after Peyton's birthday I took her for her 3 year check up. She was 31 (50%) pounds and 40 1/2 (98%) inches tall. She is not far off from Brooke and they are 25 months apart. She has been potty trained for a year now, she can write her name and do her numbers and abc's. Peyton is very funny, compassionate, sweet, silly and many other things. She recently learned to whistle and is very good at it. Brooke's a little jealous she cant do it. She's now trying to learn to snap. When she wants to learn something she doesn't get frustrated. She just works and works until she gets it. I think that's a great quality to have. Here are some recent pictures of her.
