Whipper Snippers

Connor needed a buzz/haircut. So, I picked him, Joel, and Andrew up from Baseball practice and we ran down to the local Cost Cutters. They had a 30 minute wait. So, Joel said "let's go to Whipper Snippers because we can play xbox while we get a buzz." Great idea but i'm thinking "great they are going to charge me 25 bucks for a buzz".

Here is Joel playing and getting his buzz.

Here is Connor being a good Sport.

Here is the finished product. They really wanted to sit in one of these cool cars but they were too big. I have to tell you this was so fun and brought alot of laughs.

Since they were all good boys, they each were given a quarter to spend in the candy machine. It has a little crane and you have to pick up a piece of candy, but guess what EVERYONE is a winner!!

Rainy Day

A rainy day is a day where I want to snuggle up and read a good book or watch an old movie, drinking a hot latte and having a bowl of soup for lunch. It’s a day to just be, not concerning myself with cleaning the house or doing some laundry, a day without concern. I love days like that, lazy days, days where the mind can take a rest.

I think we all need days like that, days where we can just sit and stair out the window and watch the rain fall, days where the blowing wind will change the fleeting thoughts in your mind and life just drifts by you. Days where nothing seems to happen and nothing really needs to happen, contentment is found in the stillness of the day and the rain falling seems to clear away the stress of life.

Then I hear "Moooooooom" and I am back to reality.

Connor and Ty

I wanted to see Connor hold Ty, so I almost had to just force him to do it. Isn't this the cutest, my big 15 year old boy holding a little baby. It didn't last long and he was passing Ty back to his Mom, but at least I captured the moment.

4th of July

Jackson, Nolan, & Mason.

Aren't these the cutest boys EVER. Their Mom & Dad wanted me to get a picture of them in their baseball uniforms.

I love their expressions and how they all pose different. I think it would look awesome in black and white.

Maybe I should of been a photographer : )

I LOVE taking pictures!!

Thanks Behn's for a nice evening!!

Newhall Part Two

Notice Coach Behn's socks...or should I say isn't that a nice tan line???

Coach Whitey's tan lines aren't as bad...

Coach Graddy and Tom have the same tan lines....

The four of them were playing ladder golf and enjoying themselves, which was nice to see.

Baby Ty's first Fireworks. I couldn't even see him when I took the picture. I think the flash probably scared him more than the fireworks. I had to capture this moment, didn't I?

Happy 4th of July!!

Firework Fun in Newhall

A little whiffle ball game before the fireworks. Notice Coach Pedro(aka. Coach Behn) joining in on the fun.

I love this picture. Mason is the catcher, then you have Jackson, on the right of our Umpire, Pedro, and Cal kneeling. They all look so into the game.

FOUL BALL!
