starting to wrap it up
Last week (okay, so I’m pretty behind and you just know how I love that) was Timmy’s last day of school. We went in a little early to have a little end of the year goodbye. His teachers this year were just awesome- big ole piles of lovin. Really. They just smooshed up all the little ones in their class with tons and tons of love. The year couldn’t have been any better for Timmy- he loved every minute of school and really progressed so well. I can’t wait for next year- that’s how great this school is! And no, I didn’t send him to school all dirty like that. They had some icecream to celebrate, which Timmy decided was better to wear than to eat.
(sorry all the pix are blurry- I think I was having an off day!)
This week we also saw the end of Tumbles class at the rec and CATS class (CATS pictures coming soon). Now we just have to get the big boys to finish up school and get to the end of OT and PT for Timmy- all next week. Then it’s really SUMMER BABY! Almost…

a little more bcause
Just a few new shirts from www.bcauseisaidso.com Wow, already looking at fall styles- I guess summer is going to go super fast. And I hope all the "kindergarten rock stars" of every age thoroughly enjoy every minute of summer.
Go do some summer shopping at www.bcauseisaidso.com, well, because i said so!

the led family
If you are a blog follower, you will remember these gorgeous girls from holiday season 07. And although the older one has come a looooong way with me from last time, they are quite the challenge to get together in one shot. The older girl really, really did NOT like me last time…so much so that she cried and screamed every time I put my camera up to my face. This time, we got along swimmingly (with her yelling "beth, look at me!!") and she was sweet and cute as always. The little one got so big since I last saw her, walking now and everything. Plus, she is the biggest ham ever- posing it up for me. But getting them to stay still for even one little second, nevermind together and still for one second… forget it. Thank goodness mom loves candids! And since they signed up for the growing up squared program, you’ll be seeing a lot more of them in the year to come.

what’s happening?
exhibit A. They are getting so big and grown up looking. (taking golf lessons at the country club again this year).
exhibit B. They are getting all kinds of attituded up. Rolling eyes, saying "i knoooooowww" and the like in that VOICE, not saying goodbye in the morning.
exhibit C. no longer understanding english apparently. Cause I’m saying things between 3-7 times before they can listen once.
exhibit D. they were obnoxious to my mother (my mother, their grandmother- who buys them EVERYthing they ever ask for, takes them fun places, never yells at them- yeah, that one) when she was watching them for me yesterday.
exhibit E. they have now lost all video games until futher notice (ie. until they can act like non-obnoxious, non-prehormonal, english speaking children).
exhibit F. the constant bickering, picking at eachother, fighting. FUN!
end result. all of the above = tween years. they suck. and are we really in them already? all signs point to yes. And/or they are not digging me working so much and doing the ol acting out deal to prove it. Being the mom is sometimes no fun at all.
And they are handsome and will continue to be…if I let them live.

the mor christening
A guest and a photographer- best of both worlds. My good friend Sharon’s 3 month old son (that would be Timmy’s
brother in lawbest girl’s little brother) was christened last week and we were invited to the party. My gift was the photography. I got a ton of shots at the christening itself and at the party after, but wanted to do some more at home. So back into the outfit the poor kid went and we snapped some outside. I say poor kid cause both days it was about 90 + degrees outside. We kept it short! So here are some of my favorites from the day.
Some of my favorite families/clients were at the party. If you are a blog reader, you’ll recognize some of them. And I have shoots coming up with three of them in the near future. It’s so nice seeing them in between shoots- getting to know them better- which will only help me capture them better next time!
