what it takes...

oh alright...

you all convinced me to suck it up and just do it

your request for beach hair sent me in a little loop I'll tell ya...

but it did force me to get a little creative

it took you asking...

yes it did

because I had know idea that's what you would be waiting for

so thank you my friends

 it made for a fun couple of hours for our family

what I love about Bobby, Madison, and Hayley

is that they are game for pretty much anything

I love that about them

I really will not admit we perhaps trespassed because we didn't

{wink, wink}

we just went on a little hike through fields of which the girls were braver than me

when it came to possibly seeing s-n-a-....e...s...

{you know...}

I cannot even finish spelling what they are because I am that deathly afraid of them

and thank goodness we didn't

because there would be no pictures

so here we go

you wanted beach hair...

I swear I had it lookin' like cute beach hair when we left the house

but my hair turns straight as a board

with humidity

so I give you

"true" humidified beach hair perhaps, right?

with my "would-be" beach comfort wear

comfortable jeans and a tank

because I would live in jeans if I could

and I hope I don't disappoint

but since I am supposed to be showing beach hair

just imagine that the field behind us {even though I love this field} 

is actually an endless sea

a beautiful bright blue

one thing I noticed with my hair is that it is a bit more textured now than normal

exactly what I was striving for

since it is normally thin and no texture

and I love the messier not so put together look anyway

I tell you when Bobby and I take pictures of one another

one of us ends up pouting...

I'll be honest

we aren't comfortable people behind the camera

but we do it anyway and end up laughing at one another

because it takes a lot for us to ease up behind the camera

except for this lil cutie...

she picked a bouquet to hold and is quite comfortable behind the camera

we are finding it matters today and it'll matter someday too

to have pictures of our little adventures

of hiking through fields

and going behind fences

with our girls

when we aren't supposed to

Bobby has become so patient with

with these sorts of things

He was ready to drag around my grandmother's chair

and the newly finished frame I did for the mirror we turned into a chalkboard

I told you that chocolate cake works every time for him

like a charm...

because not one complaint from him the entire time

even when we had to drive separately for the chair

and I was shoving the frame in the back of my car because it wouldn't fit in my trunk

well he didn't like it much when I was having difficulty doing a real smile

which I don't blame him

I have this thing when I take pictures

I have to make sure my neck and jaw are in the "right" place

because otherwise it looks like I have a football players neck

because when I laugh

I throw my heck back for some weird reason

making my jaw look humungo!

and then I start deleting pictures

that really upsets him

for some reason...

so that is when I plant a big ole' kiss on him

and he forgets all about it...

in the matter of seconds

he forgets that I deleted a couple of pictures

thank goodness

kissing him works like a charm just like the chocolate cake...

did you know that?

I even got a handsome smile of his with our two special girls

I'm in love with all three of them together in pictures...

we managed to stop back by the pet store over the weekend

with Daddy this time

and left with some gourmet dog biscuits for a little birthday celebration

for Miss Cadence

I say gourmet because the girls got to pick one biscuit they wanted to get for her

out of about 15 different kinds

all with sprinkles, colors, and shapes

and my good girls chose white

thats my girls!
