Our 4 Year Old

Our Bug

On location at one of our favorite places I had the pleasure of photographing this young lady. Beautiful scenery + sweet subject = great pictures. We even had fun while we were "working". Can't believe our girl is four!

Happy 4th Birthday Lindsay!!!

1 Day Old

Dear Lindsay~
Our lives were forever changed at 7:58am on July 24, 2006. You came into this world with a splash of dark hair, blue eyes and sweet little pink lips. When your daddy and I first laid eyes on you we were overwhelmed with joy to have a healthy baby daughter. Poppy, Grandma Kathy, Teta Camille, and your Nina were all there with excitement to greet you when you arrived. There is nothing that changes your life more than having a child and my hope is to someday be there when you become a mommy. You have brought so much happiness to our family's lives, we enjoy being able to see things through your eyes. We love how you always want to snuggle at night before you go to bed, how your laugh makes everyone around you laugh, how you love sweets like your daddy, how you are friendly and say hello to people you don't know with a smile, how you call your bikini a zucchini, how you put shows on for us in the living room, how you love to wear dresses, how you like to bake with your mommmy, how you love spending time with your nona, poppy, grandma Kathy, grammy and your Nina and how you love animals of all sorts. You are a wonderful big sister and Kendal loves you so very much, she wants to be just like you...though you may sometimes think that is not such a great thing...it really is! Our hope for you is that you grow up to be a kind, considerate human being. That you value your family and friends and remember we always have your best interest at heart. We adore you Lindsay Jane and wish you a very happy 4th birthday!

Pretend City

We went to Pretend City today and met some friends there. What a wonderful place for kids. It is a miniature city with interactive things for the kids to play with...all over the entire place. Highlights...the grocery store, stage with lighting, costumes and music (Kendal thought she was Mulan), beach, library, gas station, fire station, bank with an ATM that spit out pre-tend money...the list goes on. Very reasonable price and TONS of fun! Somehow the noise is tolerable, even with a million kids running around. Such a pleasant day...I highly recommend the place...we will be returning soon. As you can see by the last picture...the girls left no stone untouched while we were there. How about Lindsay with her fake dollars in her hand while she's passed out...hahahahaha!

Ponies, Chickens, Peacocks and Squirrels

My friend has a horse at the stables close to our house. We ventured there yesterday to see her horse. As soon as we stepped out of the car we had chickens, peacocks, roosters, bunnies and squirrels scurrying all around us. We paid a visit to Cody (my friend's horse), Pete and Stretch (Cody's stable mates). Lindsay fed him and his friends a couple carrots and gave each horse a few strokes on the nose. Kendal tentatively watched. We collected feathers, visited a Shetland pony named Ferbie and watched some horses run in the arena. Can't wait to return to the stables for another visit. Lindsay of course wants to become a cowgirl and asked for a horse for her birthday...yikes!
