Nap Time

Just thought I would share some cute nap time pics from the past couple weeks:

Armour took this one unbeknownst to me...The next day the babies fell asleep snuggling on my bed-see...

Beautiful Girl + Brilliant Photographer

Ender took some pictures today. I love them and here are a few we wanted to share!

I love that his feet are really the focus here: Us

SO beautiful

Quilting Bee?! Oh yeah...

Part of the reason I did not get to mommy school yesterday was that we had a quilting bee at our church to get some quilts done to send to the church to fill the warehouses for humanitarian aid. So, while we were there and the boys were running around, Armour took some pictures of mommy that he wanted posted. So, the first 2 pictures are of me (I am sitting directly behind his thumb). The 3rd pic is of him and was too cute not to post!!

Kids with Cameras: "Mom, may I borrow Ender and the camera please?"

Solace wanted me to fix her hair in the famous bubbles for a ward girls only picnic we went to. Her plan was to wear it there, and keep the bubbles in until the next day. Then when we took them out, her hair would be curly. This is her hair the second day in the bubbles, after our grocery walk, but before the bubble removal. As soon as I took out the bubbles, and her hair was flowing with beautiful curls, she asked, "Mom, may I borrow Ender and the camera now please?" Intriguing, I thought, lets see what she does with that. So, I sent my camera off with the kids. This is what I found when I got the camera back...enjoy my crazy posing girl...

What a character she is-so spunky, so funny...

she reminds me of someone, if I could just place who it is...

he he he...

*cough*me*cough*

Kids with Cameras: Posing isn't really my thing...but...

After Solace asked Ender to be the photographer for her own little photo shoot of her hair, she offered to photograph him. Note the lack of excitement on his face, but he is willing to play along with his sister's plans... More pics?
Are we done yet?
If I pose can we be done?
" OK this is my favorite pose"
(This was his exact quote before he did this...)
"And here is my sad face."

Kids with Cameras: Learning to dress yourself...

"Look mom, I dressed myself"

Yes, he is in only a diaper and his big brother's belt...dressing himself is a work in progress...

Kids With Cameras: The Fashionista gets some help from big brother

Armour fixed Kindle's hair (seriously) and asked me to take a picture-check it out...

Especially for Kris (Hope you like pictures!!)

For his birthday, Ender got a kids digital camera. He and his siblings have had a hay day with it!! They have literally taken hundreds of pictures. Some are of stuff around our house-25 are of the carpet, but here are some of their favorites:
