Puttin' it to a Vote

I obviously need a new fam pic in my header. Which one should I do? Please write a comment which family pic you like best. Refer to them as #1,2,3,4, or 5.
Thanks. I desperately need the help.

Most Recent Family Pics

Pretty old now (from May 30th), but since I stink at the whole, recent info on the blog thing, I thought they were still worth putting up - since all the other stuff is old on here anyway.... right?! Brooke did a fantastic job. Her style is so good. But none of the family shots worked out super well, through no fault of Brooke's. Ben was just on one that day, and was horrible at looking at the camera, standing still, and/or smiling. Arrgghhh!! You know that phase when a kid won't smile cute for pictures? They think whatever twisted, fake expression they're making is somehow cool? If you haven't gone through it yet, just dread it. And if you have, well, you know my pain. Spence was just being a 2.5 year old - and well, Annie cannot be blamed for lack of cooperation. Oh well. We tried. The individual pix of the kids are PHENOMENAL! Thanks Brooke! You somehow managed to get them looking lovable, in spite of how I was feeling that day! Here are just a few, and of course, the ones over on the side bar are from the same shoot...

Annie was only about 2.5 months old and has changed a ton. But she looks so beautiful - I can't help but melt when I look at these.













Oh, that hair!!!! I find myself missing her little Woodstock look.

First Day of Preschool!

We've got one too! It's obviously a popular item these days...
The pic on the front porch with the backpack on. Ours are not as professional as some - because I didn't have too much time to get one from behind with B looking over his shoulder, or to make sure Spence was out of the picture, or to even make sure that Ben didn't look sleepy - I was running a little late. But hey, it's a memory!

Happy Birthday Ben. 5 is the moment you've been waiting for!

Hooray! Ben is 5 Today.
Love to my big boy Ben.

What's Ben been up to? Well, he just started preschool yesterday. And, he's made HUGE progress this year in helping around the house, and being an awesome big bro to Annie and Spence. He's been really helpful, honestly. He's learning to read even. It's strange to say, but I think he's just growing up. I'm old.
We went to Quarry Hill Nature Center today, Inta Juice and egg drop soup for dinner (nice combo eh?) and we're having a party on Saturday. He wanted a Texas sheet cake for his cake. If nothing else, I will say - he's got... style.
