Itchy Legs & Coordinating Outfits

I'm pretty sure Chris thinks my goal in life is to torture him and Tucker. On several occasions he's reminded me that boys don't wear "outfits"... and they don't sit in flowers to take pictures. Well, in the Tims family they do. This weekend, we met my best friend, Andrea, and her family for our annual Bluebonnet Beatdown. Although, I must say it was hardly a beatdown this year. We didn't have creepy kids trying to get in the photos, there was no need to bribe anyone with yogurt melts, and we didn't have to drive around for over an hour to find the perfect spot. We might just have to rename this annual event.


I wish they were this nice to each other all the time.







Don't call the sheriff. Somebody forgot to tell Tucker that its illegal to pick bluebonnets in Texas.




Poor Tucker was miserable most of the time. I didn't think about how sensitive his skin is when I put him in shorts. He was not happy about how itchy the grass made his legs.








Once again, I made sure our "outfits" were coordinating. Someone please tell Chris how much better the pictures turn out, will ya?!


Andrea's husband, Justin took most of these pictures for us. Thanks Justin! They turned out great!

"Shoot Me Now" Christmas Photo Shoot

Have I mentioned how uncooperative my children are when it comes to photos? It's pretty amazing that we have any pictures of them at all. I'm pretty sure they have a "no picture" pact between them, because they start running and crying every time I get the camera out. I really thought it would be different this time... being Christmas and all.

I had big plans to take their pictures outside, but Tucker wasn't feeling well and I really had to get them taken so we could send our Christmas cards out. Oh, by the way, if you didn't get a Christmas card, it's probably sitting on my counter. The first wave went out, then I ran out of envelopes, then the wedding happened and Christmas arrived. I hand delivered some (tacky, I know) and others just didn't make it out. Please forgive... I'll do better next year.

Anyway... after an hour and a half of fighting the rug rats, we ended up getting a few cute shots.

I had fun making Reese's "no sew" tutu... turned out pretty cute. I'm still finding red and green glitter all over my house though. Note to self... get the glitter-free Tull next year.

I couldn't get them to sit still for 2 seconds... so this was our brother/sister picture this year. At least it paints an accurate picture of what things are like in our house right now!
