a day with the boy cousins...

a great way to test "formal" settings on my camera was to hold a mini cousin session in the park. it also happened to be my mother-in-law's birthday...so it was a great way to spend the day with all 5 of her grandchildren & a great gift to her to get pics for her wall :)

so i started with this little ball of energy & fun...zach...or z-man as i call him! this boy cracks me up! he's all about showing off & impressing whomever is around! he is just 7 months younger than chloe.


this is JJ. or john as he likes to be called now that he is older. however, he is still my little JJ...always will be. he reminds me of a "boy version" of brinley!! JJ & brinley are 3 months apart in age. he's an amazing football player :) and he plays for my HS rivalry team :) LOL




grandma wanted new "all 5 of them" pics...



z-man & c together are a hoot!

they were practicing their dance moves for the wedding & the "dipping" move!


new pics of my girlies...

this one i now have on my large photo wall...all big & glorious :)

and of course you can't be serious all the time!

especially little chloe...whom i've now nick-named red bull! cause she never stops!



now, these two girlies, brin & chloe. they get along 50% of the time. it's either they do. or they don't!


and she finally cooperated...and the result is b-e-a-utiful!


grandma with her 5!


and me with my 3!


and jordan...

gosh i swear with each pic she looks older! this needs to stop!!!!!!!
