My Babies are 4!

My Caleigh and Claire turned 4 on July 3. Yes, I realize that was 2 months ago. But this week while Colton was at school, we decided to ride around Omaha and Naples to take some pictures of the girls while they are semi still barely 4.

Claire, always cheesin :)

There was a thick overcast that day, I am not sure why they wouldn't quit squinting their eyes.

One of the perks to living in a small old town....lots of good picture taking places.

They really love each other.

I had the hardest time getting them to both look at the camera.

I have been eyeballing this old barn across the road for the past two years thinking about taking pictures in front of it. Well, I finally just did it.

I didn't even have to force them to hold hands.

Caleigh Paige, you are so sweet and genuine. You make my heart smile everytime I see your sweet smile. Your sister is definately the dominant one, but you are the care taker. You make sure I know what everyone is or isn't doing, and we are working on the tattling part, but I love your concern for everyone around you. But at the same time, I think you are going to be the sneaky one.

Claire Brooke, you are sweet too, but also SO mischevious. I won't ever have to wonder what you are up to. Your evil (but so cute) little laugh will always give you away (if Caleigh doesn't first). You have taken such a huge interest in learning recently, and want to be in the spotlight with everything you do. I love the zest for life you have.

I am so proud of the little girls my babies have grown into. They definately keep their daddy and me on our toes, and honestly I wouldn't have it any other way. I can't wait to see what the future holds for Caleigh and Claire.

Amber Graduates!!

So, the reason we chose Stephenville as our family vacation spot was becasue my baby sister was graduating from college. Amber attended Tarleton State University and received a Bachelors degree in Animal Production.
