My loves

These kids.  I don't know what I did to deserve them, but some day I hope to be worthy of their wonderfulness.  I love them so much. 

The dynamic of our family is changing. Very soon. But no matter where we are, together or apart, they will always be the loves of my life. 

Change it up.

This beautiful girl of mine would look good bald. She'd look good no matter what she wanted to do with her hair but she looks super good with her new hair cut!  

She inherited her Mama's thin hair and was not feeling so into the long straight hair anymore.  

 So... she had about 5 inches cut off! 

And it looks gorgeous!  

But how could it not?? 

Like I said, she could shave her head bald and still look beautiful. 

This looks really cute too though! 

18.

18. . . . all grown up. 

Wow. Time flies.  

18 years of being a Mom.  
18 years of being Austin's Mom.  

I know you need to spread your wings my boy, but don't forget you'll always be my baby. 

        "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always.

               As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." 

We are all gonna miss this boy so much.  Too bad they have to grow up so fast!

Happy 18th Birthday Austin! 

Happy 11th Birthday Cam

Happy 11th Birthday Cameron!! 

Cam and Hailey, BFFS! 

Brothers gotta hug!

These two love to read Harry Potter together. 

Hogwarts letter... What!?!

This boy.  

We love him so much! He truly has been making us laugh and lighting up the room with his big dimpled smile for so many years.  He is a lover of Minecraft, "My Singing Monsters" and cats. His most recent accomplishment, aside from building amazing hotels in Mincraft, is learning to Ripstick.    He has been practicing for months and has successfully taught himself to ride pretty well! 

He asked if he could spend the day with his family instead of having a party with friends.  So, we did just that. We had a fun time with bumper boats, go karts, arcade, mini golf, laser tag and more.  We love our little Cam the man and are so thankful for the 11 years we've had with him so far.  Looking forward to many more. 

A little get away for the little ones.

These two kids have been begging to go to the Great Wolf Lodge for a long time.  

We have been talking about it for months and trying to get it on the calendar and it just hasn't worked out.  Until now.  We squeezed it in just in time this past weekend right before we move away from Colorado.  They had so much fun being little.  

They are such good sports always tagging along with the big kids and it was fun to just have a little kid activity where they could run free and have a great time.  

I love that they are best friends.  I hope it never changes.  

Girls just wanna... have photo shoots!

These girls of mine. I just love 'em. 

Yesterday they had horseback riding lessons, which they love. BTW. 

Then we spent the rest of the afternoon and evening, having a photo shoot!  Brooke packed a bag with all sorts of props and clothing changes for Hailey. Brooke was behind the camera and Hailey was the model.  I was assisting as needed but was able to capture a few cell phone pictures of the fun interactions between my two favorite girls.
