After we had between 4 and 5 inches of snow on Sunday, we had a couple of pretty downpours today. After one of the breif showers, I noticed the sun had come out as it was setting. I looked out of the front door and found a beautiful rainbow. I don't think the pictures quite do it justice. To me, the rainbow was a huge sign of spring. I say BRING IT ON! I can't wait for the warmer weather!

We are at the end of our spring break with nothing other than a nice heavy snow! Truth be told, it is really quite beautiful. Unfortunately, there were lots of tree limbs down as we were driving to church. Then this afternoon the sun came out and the kids were outside making snowmen and rolling snow balls. The snow sure won't last long but our kids had one great last hurrah in the snow!

This last Thursday, we had the pleasure of getting together with some dear friends. I had the extreme pleasure to photograph their three beautiful girls. They were so good to let me play around and do some fun shots. It was such good practice as well. I haven't done just a ton of baby shots. We found a few ways to get her to sit, but it was also just fun to watch her to explore. I think these are some of my favorites once I went over and did some of the editing. Enjoy!

Today is my oldest son's 10th birthday. I am having a hard time believing that he is 10 already. 10! Where has the time gone? He continues to grow and change and is starting to turn into a young man.
For his birthday, we did a baseball theme. He got a net that will bounce the ball out back to him as one of his gifts. He was outside playing with it this morning already. I wasn't brave enough to get right behind the net while he was throwing for some really cool shots, but I did get a few. (I also noticed how brown it is right now. I hope it greens up soon!)
Happy birthday, my 10 year old!

** For some reason today, the pictures are doing some weird sharpening thing when I post them. :-( They really look a little better than these are showing. Sorry!
I find it quite funny what will tend to distract my boys. For instance, my older son likes to have things all lined up when he is playing games. I captured that yesterday as my son was setting up history of the world.
My younger son has a totally different vice that gets him every time. READING! How wonderful is that? Well, it is wonderful most of the time. However, when he is changing his clothes he gets distracted and starts to read. I got some pictures of him the other day when he was changing after coming home from church.
Then when he was done, there was a HUGE stretch and he was ready for the rest of the changing process.
What also amazes me is that both of my boys just kind of ignore me with the camera anymore. Unless I specifically ask them to look, they just don't seem to look much. That is the only way I got the stretch, but it is priceless!

It was another beautiful day. As I was wondering if spring is coming, I looked in the trees and look what I found!
Yes, as spring does start to show it's beautiful face, the boys are happy to be outside. I think that climbing trees is one of their favorite things to do. We also decided to go for a walk. I was able to find the first hints of buds on trees and green shoots starting to make their way through the drab colored ground. I am looking forward to the warmer weather!
I hope that it is warm and sunny and spring is springing wherever you are!

This week is a spirit week at my kids school. Today was dress up day. I really didn't think that they would get into it, but they did. They both wanted to get as dressed up as possible. They even went and got on ties! Well, I had to help them, but I thought it was cute that they wanted them. When they were ready for school, they just looked so sharp that they needed to be photographed. Enjoy!
