A little summer fun...






The twins seem to have this "love/hate" relationship with water.  They don't mind splashing around in the pool, but when it comes to sprinklers they just can't get used to water falling and/or dripping on them; they're usually running and screaming in horror at the very sight of any sort of sprinkler.  So much to my delight I was able to capture these few rare and precious pictures of them actually enjoying themselves in this $1 store sprinkler find - granted the water is barely shooting out... but a sprinkler is a sprinkler.

Now Samantha on the other hand I believe was actually some sort of water animal in another life.  This girl loves, I mean truly L-O-V-E-S the water so thank goodness we have a pool or I'm sure we'd actually have to move in with family during the summer just to use their pool everyday.  Sam is now taking swim lessons from her aunt Marci - sorry City of Mesa, you just weren't cuttin' it - and already her aunt is super impressed with how well she swims.

We are so excited for summer - now if we could just turn down the furnace that would be great!

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

A fish called Sam!!

It's sort of a given when you live in this desert land that your kids have to go through this right of passage called city league swim team. And I gotta say... BRING IT ON! Growing up I always wanted to be on a swim team, nevermind that my strokes often look like someone is having a seizure in the water, but none the less I wished I had tried. Well, you better believe that this mama is living vicariously through her kids when it comes to swim. Sweating palms. Nervous stomach. Pacing back and forth... this is usually how you can find me and Scott on the sidelines. I LOVE IT!! She was pretty good last year for her first year, and this year she really did even BETTER...bringing home 3 first place ribbons. I actually only ended up bring my camera to one of her meets, shameful, I know. But in my quest to be ever more present in my kids' lives I didn't want to be all camera-crazed, jockeying for the BEST position with all the mom-tographers videoing their super-star athletes. R...

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]
