Somewhere in all the chaos of summer, Brylee turned 18 months old. She is all of a sudden looking and acting more grown up, and I cant do a thing about it. I decided to re-paint the kids little table black and bring it down to the kitchen area. It is now Brylee's favorite place to sit and eat. She seems all too big when she does this!
Taking those pictures made me realize it was time to capture her last few baby moments on camera...or attempt to. I learned that going to the professional photo places is just a waste of my time and money, seeing how the kids never smile good there and then they charge you twenty bucks a sheet for pictures that dont really show their true colors. SO, with intentions to get some good 18 month photos, we headed to the park. Brylee loves the park, so it should have been an easy location to get a smile. Well, smile she did, but would she hold still to get it on camera? Not really. She is much too busy running from place to palce to sit still for a picture! Would she even look into the camera? Didnt even think about it. So there are a few candid smile shots and maybe a couple lucky ones too that we got.
And since we were already doing pictures, we also took some late ones of Zack as a big 3 year old, and Katelin for her baptism. Zack you can see, Katelin you get to wait until later for. Dont you just love anticipation!? We ended up going to a couple different parks. One was mostly for fun, while the other (by the lake) was better for picture backdrops. The fun park is what we now like to call "squirrel park". It is crawling with them! There was one tree in particular that had at least 7 squirrels lving up in it. I dont know if you can see them in the picture or not. They are also very used to people, and will come pretty close to you. The other squirrel shot is of one sitting upside down in the tree and licking what appears to be a McDonalds ice cream cone wrapper. Thats my kind of squirrel! Squirrel park also features a few bridges over a river that has fish, turtles and ducks. Naturally, the kids love going to that park. Anyway, on to the picts!...

The table looks great!
Brylee shows a neat confidence about her. She has come to look a lot like Heather..
Your kids are so cute!!
Those are some cute Summer shots. Brylee really is looking very much like a kid now. I am still laughing that we did Alyssa and Katelin's baptism pictures at the same place. It really is a beautiful park if you don't look to closely at the litter or the neighborhood.
Cute, cute pictures! Brylee does look very grown-up. Crazy!
