Fun with Brooke...

So, it has been B-E-A-U-tiful lately here in AZ - in fact this may just go down as the best month of June EVER!! (knock on wood, fingers crossed, etc, etc.) We've been blessed with cloudy skies, highs in the 80's, low 90's and even a few early monsoon storms.

Brooke and I took a few minutes the other day to water our grass and garden (you're welcome Scott :-) and she just couldn't resist getting wet in the sprinklers. As I was sitting watching her (snapping pictures, of course) I became overwhelmed by how lucky we were at that very minute to be outside playing in the water - it was around 3pm and on most average June days our skin would be melting off our bodies. However on this particular day it was beyond fantastic weather and I enjoyed every minute of it... as did Brooke.




GARDEN UPDATE


We actually no longer have watermelon... so sad! Those pesty critters ate all of the plants. We are, however, growing our own pumpkin patch! Can’t wait ‘til October. The Herrick’s will have one wicked pumpkin display for Halloween... fingers crossed!

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.

Someone had a birthday...

Albeit almost 6 months ago, but better late than never. Samantha turned 9 years old in January and I cannot believe how big she is. Every once in a while I will catch a glimpse of her and just think to myself...WOW, you are all mine...I get to keep you forever!! I love that she is in our family and it would not be the same without her.

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]
