My Sweet kiddos

So after much {and we mean much!} effort

I finally put my foot down and said...

rain or shine, whine or smiles, mosquito bites or not {and ya we did get many!}

 I am taking some real pictures of my own kids!

We first headed up to Cress Creek-- 

I was worried it was already pretty late for the good lighting there because yep it took longer than expected to get all the kiddos ready :)

 but holy stinkin cow there were so many mosquito's up there! We're talking a ton here-- I had about 30 attack my arms each time I'd stop to take a picture.

The kids did so good and still smiled for me -- but ya it was pretty miserable.

After dealing with it as long as we could I finally caved and gave up on my idea of a session with the kiddo's

 :(

On the way home though I spotted a little tiny spot of trees and bushes right off the road so we pulled over and I snapped a few more pics 

I gotta admit it-- I love my sweet little kids-- and think they're the cutest!

 It was in the end worth all the work and extra stress to get some good pictures of them that I can cherish forever!
