Here is a little share from our week...
Russell spent a lot of time in the tractor with his daddy. They finally finished planting all of the potatoes, and we are glad to be done. I snapped these photos of him leaving the tractor when I went to pick him up one evening. I love the look of pure satisfactions with a hard days work while leaving the tractor (notice him toting his empty spiderman lunch bag...which was FULL of goodies when he got into the tractor)...
And after picking him up from the field, we noticed the beautiful sky on the way home, and we had to stop and take a quick pic...
Russell broke off one of his training wheels, and he told me he didn't need them anyways, so I took the other one off. He instantly rode off like a mad man...
We spent a lot of time riding around with David and checking on the crops, pipes and pivots...
Grace had her spring Fiddle Jubilee Concert. We were so proud of her. She is one of the youngest students to finish the first Fiddle Method Book, and she played beautifully! I love this first photo of her practicing and Lily and Kate dancing along...
We went fishing one evening with my parents...
On Sunday morning (Mother's Day), I woke up and was working on some projects around the house. Kate was missing, and it was really quiet...this is what I found...
And for Mother's Day, we got to attend church with my parents, because my dad spoke during Sacarament. we then had a BBQ at their house, and Shelby and Grace provided some tunes for our enjoyment...
And here I am on Mother's Day with my sweet kids...I love them more than words could ever express. I am also very thankful for my mom & mother-in-law who are amazing...I hope they had a great Mother's Day!
After we left my parent's home, we went to the in-laws for another get together. The cousins spent the evening together running, riding bikes and playing in our grain fields...
the kids are gorgeous, your photography is AMAZING!!!

My favorite thing about Mother's Day is the look on their proud little faces after you open their gifts. Best. I can see it on Russell.

Fun, fun times. Question, on Mother's Day how did you curl Gracie's hair? Did you do it with the buns like the tutorial on your sidebar or was it something else? So cute!

I need to know how you did Grace's hair -- the pictures are beautiful!!!
Posted by: michelle lanning | May 12, 2008 at 04:27 PM
Love all your pics! Just HOW did you get Grace's hair like that? I love it! I was just thinking how glad I was that Russell is such a little boy, because I have 3 girls and I worry that if I have a boy, he won't be very "manly".

So cute Rell!!! I swear you photos cannot get any cuter.
