Bath Time




































I posted my very first blog on "my babies" feet. Here they are about 8 months later. Their feet are ever growing and each of them are so special to me in their own unique ways. Last night I had the joy of keeping them...all five of them. We had so much fun and they were absolutely wonderful, so when I say all five of them I don't mean it in any way except to say I kept all of them. :) We got to play for just a little while before it was bath time. Maggie, now 8, takes a shower on her own, as does Sam who is now 6. They are both such great older siblings. I did however have the privilege to still bathe Tommy, now 4, and Jake who just turned 3. I bathed them one at a time and then dressed them for bed and had picture time with both of them separately and then together. They are so cute and will do anything that I ask them to do for the camera. The only way I get them to do these cute and funny things is to show them their pictures right after I take them. They get to press the button on the camera and everything! haha Jake (the one with the curly blonde hair) let me take some really great pictures of him...even one on the toilet! Tommy is always good for a laugh and some "crazy faces" as he calls them. Sam is now Mr. Serious as he has taken on the role of the much older (only by two years) big brother to three younger siblings. He is very good with his two younger brothers and is very sweet with Libby who turned 6 months yesterday. Maggie is my posing queen bee. She doesn't always like to be in front of the camera, but when she wants to, she REALLY wants to. She even posed with the boys for one of them. Unfortunately, Libby was already asleep and wasn't able to participate for these cute pictures. Nonetheless, they are aborable and precious pictures of my sweet babies!!

Homecoming
























It is Spencer's Senior year and this was his last homecoming. It was a weekend filled and I do mean filled to the brim with bonfire, game, fifth quarter, and the dinner/dance. Spencer got homecoming king and we are very proud of him. :) Bridgette, one of his best friends, got queen which made it even more special. They were both very deserving of these honors. Spencer very much enjoyed his last homecoming with three of his closest friends. They are pictured below in front of our house. Eric, Bridgette, Alex, and Spencer all said they had a blast and danced the night away, three of them for the last time at GCS. I am so proud as the big sister and was honored to get to photograph the weekend.
