Fun in the sun!

Gramma and Poppa and my nephew came for a visit today. To cool off, we let the boys have some sprinkler fun, and of course I snagged quite a few pics. Lucky for me, my nephew LOVES having his picture taken, so he cooperated quite nicely for his aunt, the shutterbug!

I was a bit too close when I shot this.. the eye closest to the camera is out of focus.. bummer! At least at the small size it's not as noticeable.

One from today

My little boy makes me smile every day...

The Boys!

Here are some pics of Connor and Aiden during our trip to visit the Mulls in WV. The boys are funny.. they can play nice for a little bit, and then all of a sudden, all hell breaks loose.. mainly due to Aiden.. yes I admit. My child is a little spitfire!

Love the look on their faces here:


Colors are off.. need to work on that, but I love this one. It looks like Connor is bustin' a move:


Sweet Connor:


Connor is thinking "Why did he take my wheelbarrow?"

Sunset at Newport, Rhode Island

These were taken our last night in Newport. Unfortunately, we missed the REALLY dramatic sunset the night before, but we had a little boy we had to get in bed. It was quite hazy when I was taking these pictures, but I was able to get some nice shots of the anchored boats and the Pell Bridge in the background.

Our day in the White Mountains of New Hampshire

It was a partly sunny, partly cloudy, and partly rainy day, so I wasn't able to get some of the really spectacular shots I wanted to get of the mountains themselves, but I ended up with some nice ones of the ponds and a little waterfall.

Oh, and Aiden is actually in a couple of these!!





Here are a couple of Aiden hanging out in the river. He loved throwing the smooth rocks he found! Don't worry.. there will be more Aiden pictures later!
