Haha!
Well, obviously not really. I am just way behind in getting these up here!
This past 4th of july my family went camping with my aunt and her family. My aunt is only 3 years older than me and she was always more of a cousin to the rest of us cousins. And being an only child, my cousins are the closet thing I will ever have to siblings and I love them a ton! Our trip was great and it was fab to see everyone. I had it in my head to do an Americana themed shoot and thankfully they went along with it. My cousin Monica and another aunt, Sam, came down for the day and brought her kids. So all off the little cousins were together! We took 15 minutes before dinner and I am pretty happy with what we got
Here are all of the little girls! From left there is Morgan, Dylan, and then my Katie. I have more I need to edit from this set up- they were being so cheeky with each other!
Isn’t Dylan a beauty? She *loved* having her picture taken which didn’t surprise me at all. I swear you will be seeing this face in big things one day! She is extremely theatrical in the most adorable way
And this is Dylan’s brother Braden. He is about to start kindergarten which makes me feel super old! I loved this soulful look he gave me
Them together <3
Here is Braden with my David. They get along super well! As far as boys go, they are pretty calm and they both *love* cars!
This is one of my favorites of the day!
This is Morgan, one of the toughest little girls I have ever known. She gets herself so banged up and just goes right about right business like nothing ever happened! She is a firecracker and super sweet! And adorable too
Here is my Peyton who is getting older much faster than I ever dreamed would be possible
She got the brilliant idea that grooming eyebrows must mean shaving them and lopped off the sides of each brow. Nice, right?? Thank goodness a month later they are looking so much better! Peyton is getting braces shortly and can’t wait! She wants to sport colored bands, orange and blue for her of course, to all of the home games this season
And my baby KatieShe is looking like a hot mess here! This was taken at the very end of the shoot after they had played ring around the rosey a gazillion times. Once she saw Dylan hamming it up for me, she decided she would sit and have her picture taken. After I fixed her hair, she was over it!
Here they are when they started playing ring around the rosie. Katie was being a sour puss and didn’t want to join in.
When she started to see how much fun they were having she finally decided to join in
Taking the group shot was not very fun. Katie didn’t want to participate (see the recurring theme here?), there were fights over pinwheels, pinwheels fell apart, fights over flags, lots of talk about how to share flags, and finally something halfway decent. Anyway, Happy Birthday America
And here are 2 snapshots I have to share with everyone from our trip that weekend…
Morgan and the cutest wedgie I think I have ever seen
Katie, super happy to score a water gun
Hope your 4th was fab!
