This is what happens when you stay at my house...

My cutie pie nieces and nephew stayed with us for a couple of days, and miraculously, I talked Sophie into letting me take her picture. So...we curled her hair, ironed her dress, cleaned off the make-up that she had already applied to her face, AND most importantly, kept her in a good mood. She played with the Barbies, pollies, etc., and was happy. When I was ready, she easily came down, and even seemed a bit excited. I knew that couldn't last, and I was correct. Five to ten minutes later, she was loosing steam and fifteen minutes later, she was DONE! And Sophie means what she says. Regardless, this dazzler came out shining again.

Lauren

Well, it took a little negotiating to get Lauren to let me take her picture. The price: 3 Girl Scout cookies. And although I LOVE Girl Scout cookies, I think I got the better end of the deal. Here's my little Lauren.

Beautiful girls

Last month I made a trip out to Utah to visit my parents and cousin photographer. My gosh was it COLD! Here are some pictures of some gorgeous sisters. I must say that I wanted to take little Miss C home with me. She was so adorable, with the sweetest personality. Her big sister reminded me that my oldest is just a few years away from high school, more make-up, cool clothes, boys....more boys....you get the picture. Just look at Miss A's eyes. She will have boys serenading!

What a great week. Family and photography.
