My sister FINALLY made it out here to visit me recently! The kids had so much fun visiting their cousins and Auntie. <3 Can you imagine the fun and chaos with 11 kids running around the house? Haha…seriously though, even though 9 of them are mine, that added 2 really makes a difference. :P
I think it’s kind of an unwritten rule that when she visits, I get to do new pictures of my very adorable niece and nephew. We had so much fun doing these! We started off up in a nice green area. I’m a Washington girl so despite having lived in Arizona for 14 years, I still long for those little patches of green that make me forget the brown desert, if only for a minute. Plus, I’m a color wheel freak and Charley rocked that purple dress in this green foliage!
Everyone who knows me, knows I love me a moody b&w…
My lovely sister stepped in for a few pictures with her sweeties… <3
These were SO much fun. I will not admit to what was going on in the background here, but darn it, it worked. If it works, go with it I say! :)
My beautiful sis recently lost 40 pounds…doesn’t she look fantastic? I’m working on the same thing now myself…about halfway there! She motivates me to stick with it!
Who doesn’t love an old, vintage merry-go-round? And aren’t Charley’s freckles awesome? I just love them!
I miss you guys so much already! It always seems like visits go by way too fast. Maybe I’ll come bombard you with my 9 next time…muahahaha! Give those kids a kiss and a hug for me! <3 Now…which ones are you going to hang on your wall? :)
