thursday, i did a newborn twin shoot!! wooohoo!! that will be up on my GP blog soon :)

friday, the girls wore matching dresses and we went to the gym ;) (cell)


saturday i had a wedding to shoot for a very good friend's sister :)

yesterday, we went shoe shopping ;) EJ had gotten me a gift card for my birthday so i could pick out some new gym shoes - so i got these!


this evening was eventful :) lots of sun and fun!

sawyer got decked out in the suit nonny got her ;)


reese didnt want to wear her awesome sunglasses to match her stellar swimsuit that kristi got her for her bday lol


sawyer is a stud.


EJ got aidan these bubbles with "3-d glasses" (lol) at the store today.


swinging in the back.




this one is super overexposed, but she ran from the shade lol and its too cute. she's trying to get EJ with the water gun ;)


gotta love the cheap pools - now i can 1. dump the water easily and 2. dont have to worry about rips from the plastic hitting the concrete! woot!




reesey was pooped out lol


sawyer playing :)




sisterly love ;) lol






another stinkeye.


BBQ goodies. burgers, hot dogs, a beer for me and EJ, and then some juice for the girls :)






also, my cousin's first baby was born yesterday. omg how handsome is he? :) i went up and visited today - welcome to the world, maverick :) :) :)

storms and summer days.

so this was aidan today. its what she does on her summer vacation.

for anyone interested, we ran to the dollar store yesterday bc i wanted some cheap crafts. but what i got was better -- they have workbooks. like character workbooks for letters, numbers, colors, words, etc... and aidan LOOOVES this stuff.

so today, she played a bit. (p.s. all shot at 1.4)











oh and im sure some of you heard about the storms and tornadoes here in north texas last night.

EJ prepared the bathroom. just in case. the half bath in the middle of our house is solid, supposedly. so he packed it up with things we may need. on FB he wrote:

Better to be over prepared than wish you had something not on 'the list'. There is also electrical tape, extra batteries, both AA and AAA, phone chargers, camera gear, hd cam corder, a 2 gallon jug of water, camp stove, rope (150 ft of 11.5mm climbing rope) an ice axe (strong enough to get thru brick if needed), camp food for 3 days, an extra camel pak for 3L of water to be filled upon entry, lots of flashlights, shoes for everyone (closed toe) pants, medicine for the kids and us adults, instant ice pack, 1dt aid kit, extra rags, pants for kids and us, jackets..... Etc

fruity dresses.

aidan's dress will be used in a lemonade stand shoot, but for now...


















sawyer's has cherries :)










reese's is flowers, but kinda reminds me of watermelons :)

sawyer's big girl room.

so we decided to swap sawyer's crib into a bed. i never wanted to do that, but her room is smaller than aidan's and she is tinier than aidan lol so it works.

i have a nice entry on the transition on Pv3 <---click :) but here are some pics of tonight!! walking in.

that green thing is the ikea leaf that goes over her bed.


this is now filled with stuffed animals.


new rug to match new bedding.


reading a book :)


she loves it?


i'll explain later. lol you can see A and S's rooms here - sawyer's was different though by now - she had a white dresser (thats in her room in the pics above), the glider is now in the game room, etc. aidan's room is pretty much the same - except she has a TON more toys now - and a table/chairs in there.
