Happy Birthday, Susanna!

Today Susanna turns 4 years old! She has been SO excited for her birthday!
She is such a blessing to us, and we are very thankful for her life!

The past months, whenever she is asked how old she is, she holds up 3 fingers, and cheerfully says "When I turn 4, I get to chew gum!" Needless to say, gum will be one of her birthday presents!
Happy Birthday, Sweetheart!

Happy Birthday, Caroline

Today Caroline turns 13! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

(Special thanks to Elizabeth U. for the two photos above! Love them!)








Just curious-Does anyone notice a difference between the above 4 photos--
and the below 3 photos????
(Besides, different clothes, settings, etc.)

Colors of Spring!

I have decided it is virtually impossible to take a picture of a flower and for it not to turn out amazing. God's creation is SO photogenic! And it is also impossible (we've been here before) to have a super cute little sister, (with lots of cute outfits) and not take amazing pictures of her!!!!
Be encouraged with the Colors of Spring! Green, Pink, White, Purple, Yellow-What a sight after wintery colors...brown, brown, brown, and brown!

Susanna

How can you have an absolutely adorable sister, and not do a photo shoot whenever she (or you) feel like "dressin" up?
Susanna is such a precious gift, full of her middle name-JOY!
One afternoon, Susanna, Miles and I were at home by ourselves.
Miles had some project to do, and Susanna and I were figuring out what to do.......What is better than getting all dressed up in a pretty dress, wearing "Libabeth's" special necklace, and getting your hair curled?
Just take a look at this cutie!!

Happy Birthday, Susanna!

Today Susanna Joy turns 3 years old!!! Can you believe it??!!

I remember 3 years ago when we had gone to Salina for our usual grocery trip, and Mom also had a Dr. appointment. The Dr. told her to do some walking-So we went out to where our grandparents live and walked....She went back to the Dr. and was admitted to the hospital. Well, the rest of us where happy because we were going to get to spend the night at "Memaw and Papa's House!!!" About 9:00 or so, my grandma and I (Elizabeth) were in the kitchen talking, since everyone else was in bed. About 9:20 p.m. the phone rang. It was Dad saying the baby was born-So we got everyone out of bed and loaded into my great grandma's car. If we would have been pulled over that night we would have been about 3 people over the limit.....But we weren't!
Anyhow, we got to the hospital and got to meet our new baby SISTER! Sweet Susanna.

I can't explain what an amazing joy she has been to our family. A friend of ours just told me a few weeks ago, how different our lives would be without Susanna.
And it is rightly so!

Adorable!

 

She is pretty funny!

 

Susanna

Today, I was curling Susanna's hair for fun.
It looked so cute I thought I would take a picture of it.
Then I remembered we had an antique looking dress....Hmmm, what do you think comes next? A photo shoot!
I also have a hat I use for room decor, but it looked perfect with the dress,
so I had to add it!
Here are a few that I got-I love editing with sepia and black and white, if you can't tell!

Girl Fun

Last weekend Caroline and I had a super time having our good friends, Kelsey and Katy, over to hang out, dress up, and have fun together.

On Friday night, we all got to go to the play "OKLAHOMA", which our high school was putting on. After the first scene we thought it was time for intermission already! Talk about a long play!

The four girls-2 sets of sisters!

Sisters!

Sisters are a blessing! (Especially when one of them is SO cute!)

Elizabeth and Susanna

Those sunny days of summer

Susanna and Elizabeth had a wonderful time of splashing in the sun on Sunday afternoon.
Caroline recently bought Susanna a "ducky" pool from the local thrift shop.
She has been kind of scared of that big yellow thing, but yesterday we filled it with some water and got in! Susanna cried a little at first but she finally got used to it and even sat down!
As you can see in the pictures we were a little of a tight fit! But otherwise it was a terrific time enjoying the beautiful outdoors!


In this picture Susanna has to close her eyes because the sun was so bright!


Elizabeth and Susanna in the ducky.....Miles got to be our photographer!
