Just some favorites

I love taking pictures of my children!! Especially Mackenzie because she just doesn't care if I follow her around all day with the camera, and she's just so cute. She will definitely be my most photographed child. Here are some of my favorites.




I just love those sweet blue eyes!

Mackenzie's first pig tales. She wasn't very cooperative,
but I managed to get two little pig tales from that baby
fine hair.

More coming soon--I have some good pics from our visit with Pa
and Granny Joyce and the 4th of July. I just have to find the time
to get them posted.

Birthday Boy

Matthias turned 5 back on May 27. Poor guy didn't get much of a birthday. I was at my worst with pneumonia and got out of bed to watch him open his few presents and eat a cupcake. All other festivities were postponed. He's such a sweet little guy, and I hope he knows just how much we're thankful for him. Hopefully soon, we can have a proper belated birthday party. Only now, it's so stinckin' hot!!

Mickey and Boy Scouts

I am so proud of Mickey!! He joined Boy Scouts in January and has done a GREAT job! I think he may have found his niche, we'll see. He earned his rifle and horsemanship badges and worked to earn the money for summer camp (all by himself). He really takes it seriously (finally something) and works hard to do what he's supposed to do.

He's gone to Boy Scout camp this week at Camp Constantine. I haven't heard from him in days and have no idea how things are going. They have a phone on site for emergencies, but other than that, they are not permitted to take cell phones, i-pods, or game devices of any kind. I suppose a glimpse into the future for me. It's weird when your children are home all the time and all of a sudden their gone. Now it's temporary, but in a few short years, he'll be an adult--aaahhh, a bit scary. Such a short time to prepare him for the world!
