My First…

And like my Mom always used to tell me… I will always have a special love for her, because she was my first baby.
 
I have a special love for all of my children, but as much as I see us butting heads in the future- I also see so much that we share. So much that we have in common.

While I was out at a photo shoot the other day, Keona was helping Scott around the house. He commented on how much she sounds like me when dealing with the younger kids. Not sure if that’s good, or bad…
Maybe both?

Yes, my baby’s growing up…

Daddy’s Lefty…

This girl likes to pose for me. She’s the one who will come up to me and ask, “Mom, will you take some pictures of me!?”

To which my response is always, “Sure!”

My only girl who turned out to be a lefty- my hubby, and both of my boys are also. So, she always feels it necessary to be on “Dad’s team”- even when everyone else is cheering for mom! :)

The middle one depicts her perfectly. Always laughing.

And here’s my fave…

Love her.

My musician…

Who wanted her hair cut short again just to be “different”…

Eve is definitely the more serious one of the triplets. It took her a few minutes to just relax and give me some different faces. Bottom middle is definitely my fave! :)

Love my Evie-kins…

The crazy one’s turn…

Ok so she isn’t really crazy- but she does like to act crazy just for fun!

Prayer had the highest average for our first quarter of school. Scott took her out to Sunset for breakfast, and when he asked her to pray for the meal- she said, “…and God, please help someone else to win for the next quarter so they get to go out for a breakfast with Dad too.”

Scott decided he’ll take her out as well as the winner next time.

Attitude and character is so much more important than grades…

My Little Man…

I have called Elijah “my little man” since the day he was born.

Though most people think he’s so serious and quiet- he definitely has a loud and crazy side.

Just ask his sisters…

Now I’m debating about whether or not to do one of Scott and I…

Then we could have one with each of our faces in it.

Hmm….

… and the dimples!

I took the advice of a friend and decided to one of these for each of my kids. Now they can’t wait for their turns!

I just told him to make some different faces for me and away he went!

The difference between Jed and Ella- he couldn’t wait to be done because this is what he really wanted to do on my bed…

Model or comedian?

When I asked her if I could take her picture this afternoon- her reply was, “I can wear makeup!?”

She knows that whenever I do a (planned) photo shoot of the kids, I put chap stick on them so we don’t have dry lips.

So I agreed, gave her some lip gloss, and this is what she gave me…

Every single shot was completely unprompted.

She just started modeling, so I started shooting!

This kid has some serious personality. :)
