my, how time flies....

My little brother is 1 year old already!!

It's so hard to believe a whole year has past since he was born...I will always remember that day. If I get around to it sometime I'll right a super long post about his miracle story.. It's an amazing story I don't think I will ever tire of telling....

----

-less than an hour old at the hospital-

----

He loves to shake hands, bump fists, and give a high-five.

----

-week and 1/2 old-

-----

These days he mostly walks.. Not so much crawling anymore.

-----

-2 weeks-

----

Me and him hang out all the time! He's jus cool like that!

----

-1 month-

----

I tell him "kiss you", and he leans in for a smooch!! So sweet!

----

-7 weeks old-

----

He can be hyper or cuddly, happy or sad, grumpy or content, smiley or whiny.

----

-3 months-

----

He has a scream like none other.. The kind that has the ability to break glass!

----

-6 months old-

----

He's got the cutest grin that will melt even the hardest of hearts!

----

-9months-

----

He's got the cutest tan. You should've seen him last night.. We went to the pool yesterday and he(along with all the rest of us) got tons of sun.. His poor little red cheeks and arms! Before I put him to bed I rubbed lots of aloe on..

----

-1 year-

 

{pardon the creases in the sheet...a result of my laziness...}

My lil mister all growed up!(or atleast on his way!)

I don't consider myself an animal photog at all, but....I must admit, it is kinda fun (:

We usually take the dogs along with us when we go to the tennis court so they can run around and I usually take my camera along.

Oreo loves to have her picture taken!

Wide angle usually works best for her because her nose is always a few inches from the lens..

Brownie....thats another story.

Anytime she see's my camera, she head turns her head the other way!

She won't even come close to me if she know's I have the camera hiding behind my back.

To be honest, these are the best pictures I've ever gotten of her. And they're not that good...

hehe. I just noticed the tongues hangin out on these pictures.. (:

Fourth of July and more

A basketful of gorgeous veggies from ours and the neighbors gardens...

Did you northern people notice the green tomatoes?? (:

First time I ever had fried green tomatoes and I must say they're not too bad!!

-------

There's a tennis court in town that we've been going to not quite every evening to ribstick, skateboard, scooter, and bike around..

Oh yeah, we play tennis sometimes too.(:

.the fence around the tennis court.

I'm learning[ahem] to ripstick... (:

I really am, but I still have a little ways to go yet before you could consider me good..

It's still fun.

Crazy brother trying crazy things on his bike. {nothing new}

Is it just me or are silhouette's of tree's gorgeous?!

-----------------

Oh groan. Not another stacker in the house!

 

 

Last week I went out to the kitchen and found Harrison playing with some small plastic containers(it looked like he was trying to do with them what he's seen his older siblings do with speedstacks).

So out of curiosity I brought him some stacks and stacked them up for him, just to see what he would do. He loved it! By the way he handled the cups it looked as he'd been born to stack!

I have a feeling this boy's gonna be one of the smartest kids on the planet! haha

Small town "bike parade". The kids get there bikes all patriotic looking then bike around the square..

Courtney and her friend Anna walking around town holding hands(sometimes going the wrong direction!).

love.love it!! They didn't even realize what they were doing but I thought it was cute!

At the parade::

I think black and white parade pictures are a.mazing!!

fireworks!!

 

diet coke + mento's = fun amazing crazy chemical reaction!!

--------------------

We made a bonfire the other eve for smores!! (:

-------------------

 The girls were taking pics of me while were at the tennis court.

If you can get past the facts that my hair was all frizzy, I had an old shirt on, and I was super sweaty,  you'll see the work of budding photographers!
