School picture challenge

There is a challenge over at www.sweetpeachcropshop.com/blog to take better "school pictures" of your kids than the school does. It inspired me to take some pics of my kids even though they have never had school pictures done yet! We took a blanket out and hung it over the deck for a background. Cody only let me take 3 pics of him, but this one turned out really nice.

Sarah was still wearing her jammies, little miss personality.....

And one of my faves is not like a school pic at all, but a nice pic of the 2 of them together. Wyatt was taking a nap, but I am pretty sure that his almost 15 month old self would have had no part in any photo shoot!

Freak and Blade

Timber show

We took a trip up to the timber show last weekend. Cody was excited to see the "real" equipment that they use on swamp loggers. This skidder was actually a tigercat, just like Bobby uses!

He got to climb up in a lot of the machines.

And of course, the tires make for some nice pictures!

Wyatt had a nice ride around the grounds, and got to spend some quality time with Daddy!

5 years old! and a turkey

I can't believe Cody is 5 years old. He wanted a swamp logger birthday, so we had to make a cake with some logs and a skidder!

It took him 5 tries to blow out his candles.

And he got to wear a crown on his last day of school and take mini cupcakes for all of his classmates. He wasn't sorry about school being over, though.....

Mike filled his turkey tags again this year. This was the nicer of the 2 birds. Of course, we had to have a family portrait.

Mother's Day and mud

I just had to take this picture of Sarah. She was outside riding bikes with Cody and he sprayed her with mud. She was so upset!

For mother's day, we went to Delgrosso's. Mike was really nice and took some pictures of me!

The kids had a blast riding the dizzy dragons with Uncle Matt. They spun so fast! Cody was actually tall enough this year to ride almost everything, but Sarah is still stuck with the kiddie rides.

Uncle Matt

We went out to Uncle Matt's house at the end of April for Destiny's birthday party. He got his old race car out and took Cody for a spin. Literally.

Then of course he had to do the same for Sarah.....

And Wyatt.....

Just kidding, Wyatt only got to sit in the car. :)

But daddy had to try it out, too. He was like a little kid, tearing it up!

easter portraits

I just realized that I never shared these pics. They were not as awesome as the Christmas ones, but they were still pretty good. Especially since I had them taken right before I took Wyatt to his 9 month doctor's appt and found out that he had a double ear infection!

I had a couple taken of just Wyatt in the outfit he wore for his dedication. He looked like such a little man!
