Spring 2014 Pics!

Last Friday after school I took the girls out to get some pictures in the bluebonnets.  Between the sun in their eyes, bees swarming, bugs in the ground and flowers to be picked, I hardly got any decent pictures!  Taking pictures of these three is always challenging, but bluebonnet pics are by far the hardest! :)

 

This is my favorite one of all the girls, even though Avery is picking the flowers.

Sweet Paschal sisters!

 

Avery did not want to be held by her big sis!  She is so independent these days and just wants to run around by herself and do her own thing.  Crazy girl!

 

 

I tried so hard to get everyone to look at the camera and smile, but it just was not happening.

 

Love this one of the two big girls!

Sweet baby girl in the bluebonnets.  She did so much better taking pictures once she was by herself!

 

My favorite one of Avery!

 

She found another flower to pick.

 

 

Running around in the wildflowers.

 

Pretty little Avery Mae.

 

"Hi Mom!"

 

 

Laughing at her big sisters.

 

 

Such a little munchkin heading down the sidewalk.  She was done with pictures!

 

Last weekend we went to a wedding in Glen Rose, TX.  I tried to get a few pictures of all the girls together, but again that was not going to work.  Avery wanted no part of sitting still for a pictures!  Jayda and Sydney looked so pretty in their pink party dresses! 

 

Silly little lady ran all over the reception area!

Their were deer all around the wedding that would come up and let you pet them.

 

Avery was so excited to see the deer so close up.  She kept calling it a "dog-dog".

 

 

She loved the deer that came up to visit her!

 

Rest in Peace Papaw.

Jacob's sweet Papaw went to heaven on Friday, March 21, 2014.  He fought a long battle of lung cancer, that eventually moved to his brain. Even through all of the radiation, chemo, pain and suffering he went through, he never complained.  Never whined about what he was going through, he just dealt with it and stayed tough all the way through until the very end.  We will miss him so much.  His sense of humor and ability to say the most inappropriate things, but that were always so true. 

We love you Papaw!

Pretty sure Jayda took this picture  with my camera.

 

In April 2012 we celebrated Mammaw and Papaw's 50th wedding anniversary!  We made them each a book of letters from all of us and pictures.  Papaw was looking through his book with Jayda.

 

The whole crew celebrating Mammaw and Papaw's 50 years! 

This was such a fun trip and I'm so glad we were all able to be there!

 

Miss Avery playing with Papaw's oxygen cords when he visited last summer.

 

We went through lots of old pictures and made this slideshow for Papaw's funeral. 

I love the way it turned out and I was so glad we were able to do something like this.  It's not really showing up the right way and doesn't have the music, but at least I am able to post it. :)

 

We love you so much Papaw and  miss you terribly! 

Sydney's 4 Year Pictures & Girls First Softball Game!

I took the girls to the duck pond last week and got some sweet 4 year pics of Sydney.  Now that I have a nice camera I am going to try and take the girl's pictures instead of taking them into a studio. I took a few 1 year pics of Avery too.  She wasn't very cooperative, but at least I got a few cute ones!

Love this picture of Sydney!

 

Such a sweet girl!

 

I can NOT believe Sydney is already 4 years old!

 

She is such a big girl!

 

Love this pretty little lady so much!

Sweet girl is always picking Mommy flowers. :)

I took a few pictures of Sydney and Avery together too.  Love their matching outfits!

 

Sisters!

 

Happy girls.

 

Love this one of the two of them!

 

My attempt of taking Avery's picture with the #1 block.  She just wanted to carry it around.

Look who's 1!

 

One sweet baby girl!

 

She was so excited to see the duckys!

 

The girls had their first ever softball game on Saturday.  They both did a great job and were so proud of themselves!  Jayda got the only run for their team and Sydney stayed in for the entire game, so it was definitely a success!

Jayda's first turn to bat.

 

Ready to hit the ball.

 

She made it to first base on her first bat, yay Jayda!

 

Throwing the ball into the pitcher.

And this is what Sydney did most of the time when she was out in the field. 

She was supposed to be playing 2nd base, but had so much more fun digging in the dirt.

 

High fiving the other team after their first game!

Softball sisters!

Sweet Sydney Anne.

In the dugout!

 

Their little team waiting to take their team pictures.

 

Being so patient...this is rare!

 

All but one of the girls on their softball team!

They had to do a little tree climbing, of course.

Love these girls!
