At Home in the Mountains

We had some fun with the bluebonnets last week. On Sunday afternoon we went down toward DBU and took some pictures of the girls in the bulebonnets on the side of the road. The pictures always look so nature-y and beautiful and peaceful. You'd never know we were yelling at each other at the top of our lungs just to be heard above the passing traffic noise on the highway. I got some great pictures. I don't have any of the edits posted here but, after editing, I had about half a dozen that turned out really nice. After the picture session we went to DBU and had a picnic.

The kids got high on sugar and jumped for hours. Granna and Grandad, Tammy, Rachel, Dr. Rachel, Cindy and kids, and the Bavors were there in addition to some of her school friends.

Shortly after her birthday she lost her second tooth so she is kind of gap toothed right now. The dentist said her top teeth are loose as well.
