Wishing to play with photoshop...

Day 25: playing with photoshop

I was so excited about this day until it came!!!  I have no clue how to work photo shop!!!!!!!!!!  I have tried and tried!!  I saw the coolest pin on pinterest of all the fun shots a Daddy did with his little girls and I was all inspired... until I remembered that I don't know how to do ANY of that hahahahaha!!!  Oooppss!!  So instead of trying any longer I am just going to show you one of my favorite things that my sister-in-law did after our family pictures!!

Cory has the goofiest smile when we take pictures!!!  I hate it and his sister REALLY hates it since she is the one who has to edit all of our pictures!!  She is so amazing and I love all of her work (even the ones she puts on her blog that aren't my kids) and she knows just how to make us look wonderful!!  But after hours of editing and getting frustrated that Cory didn't take 1 decent picture this was her retaliation!!!

All I can say is that Cory is right... No one will be crying after the slide show at his funeral!!! We will all just crack up laughing because NO ONE has a decent picture of him!!!

What makes a daddy...

Recipe for a good Daddy...

2. Look cool with your kids

3. Be willing to fight in the matrix if need be!

4. Read to kids.

Happy father's day to my sweet husband who does an amazing job at being himself!!

Day 24: Silly face!

These pictures are from about a month ago but nothing we could do would top this moment!  G man has been taken off of red dye 40 because of the way his body processes it.  He gets out of control and gets frustrated as well as frustrating those around him!!  He has been dye free for a little over a month now and is doing WONDERFUL!!!  I am so excited that this change has helped him!  He does so much better in uncomfortable situations.  Which brings me to the day these pictures were taken:

We were waiting in the room for the Doctor to come and then get shots and for this first time G man came up to me and told me he was bored.  This is significant since before he would have just started acting like a crazy man!!  So my solution was to do this....

Crazy face!!

Cheesy smile!!! 

Blowing our cheeks!!

Scared face!!

Mean face!!!

Surprise face!!

Fake sleeping...

He pretended to sleep for a long time!!! :) 

Chalk fun!

Day 23: Chalk

I have been waiting and waiting for this one!!!  I had a lot of ideas and then let G man pick some that he wanted to do and we went out and did them!  This one is the one he found on Google search that he wanted me to draw for him!!!

I of course talked him out of it!!!  I can't draw this!!!  But isn't it amazing!

Here are our chalk photos!!

 G man the super hero!!

Prince G

My little butterfly... She didn't want to lay and have a picture taken, she wanted to keep drawing!!

Princess L

They are flying away with balloons!! 

 I told them to act like they were flying so Little Miss lifted up her legs!!! :)

We had so much fun with this!!! Our driveway looks a little bit crazy with so many random drawings around but it is colorful!!!

Couldn't help but post this!

Update on my weight loss and weight watchers!  I am honored to be in my brother's and his beautiful fiance's wedding in July.  We had our dress fittings last week and I had lost about 2 in. and will have to have it taken in!!!!!!!!  So then I got brave and decided to weigh a little early and was excited to see that I have lost 15.2 pounds!  Still have a way to go but am very excited about this promising start!  I will also be riding in a 10/5 mile bike ride for the awesome ministry I work for!  If you are in the area this weekend come see us and ride with us!! There are different courses so you can pick the length that fits you from 62 miles to 1 mile fun walk/run!!  Food, face painting, and fun for the entire family!!  Click here for more info!!

I also wanted to share my beautiful babies with you!!!  This is how I found them sleeping and I couldn't help but share this!!!

Little miss with her tush in the air!!

G man with a tunnel on his loft bed and him inside it!!!

Having a blast with this!

Day 21: Swimming FINALLY!!!

Well we finally got to go swimming! Frontier City has added a new water area and the kiddos LOVED it!!  There are 8 water slides and 3 of them intended for young-ens... G man  loved all 3 of them!

Here is the entire area! 

Little miss found the perfect spot for her!  No face splashes and just enough water to play and run it!

 G man loved splashing at her!!

Going down his first water slide!! He loved it!

Awesome pic a friend of mine captured for me!!!  Love this!

You can't really see it here but she is cracking up that her toes are wrinkled from the water :)

Day 22: Hands

What are our hands for?

Holding up our cute faces...

Stopping evil villains...

Practicing the mandolin...

and eating frog legs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feet!

Day 20: Feet... I know this isn't what the list says day 20 should be.  Are you ready for my excuses??  Well I don't have one!!!  Feet are on the list and today presented a PERFECT example of feet that I never expected so I am going rogue from the list I created and doing feet today!!

Well here in Oklahoma during the summer month of June we have had sweater wearing cool weather and rain!!!  It has been cool and refreshing today and in the middle of the rain my crazy kids run down the sidewalk and then run back to the dry part just to see their feet prints!!

This is G man's foot!

Here are both of them and you can tell they were trying to look behind them and see the prints they made so they started to walk in circles!

Here we have Little miss' and G man's side by side!!!  I love these crazy rainy days and the unexpected joys they bring!!!
