WESTERN PHOTO SHOOT PART TWO

Part two....my Fab Five.....oh so many great favorites in these photos....hard to choose!!!
These children have grown SO much in the past year. The two oldest girls are young women now, and darling Georgia is just cuter than ever. My boys are SO handsome. Jacob is still my gentleman....gentle and kind in so many ways.
Cooper....my precious little imp....love him to bits.
Both boys give such amazing hugs and this nanny could never get enough of them ( hugs) and her boys.
I learned so much about them each individually on this trip and I will cherish this visit.
A definite favorite photo

WESTERN PHOTO SHOOT...PART ONE

Good morning from Halifax. I wish that it really was the morning, instead of 1:22am...but oh yes...I'm wide awake!! Restless legs, and mind so I decided it's best to get up. I have a special post on my mind that will actually take three posts to adequately cover it. These posts focus on my daughters, and their children. While Laura visited with us in Yorkton, she undertook a photo shoot with her sisters and their children. The whole process was a lot of work for her getting everyone ready ( and more beautiful than they already are) and finding the perfect spot to snap away. Just as I have been affected by the yellow canola fields, Laura saw the perfect photo elements in these fields and the results are just so wonderful. I have a hard time picking my favorites....so I divided the results into three sets...Karen and Olivia, Kathy and my fab five and Laura....this post will feature Karen and Olivia. enjoy

                Laura,you are an amazing photographer.

MEMORIES WITH THE SLEEPER CREEPER

Well, it's 2:30am and once again I am wide awake. It is probably for a number of reasons. Mostly it's my crazy legs that just don't sleep when the rest of my body wants to. Bill got up to go to the bathroom and that woke me further. I decided that maybe the bathroom was a good idea and took my turn after he crawled back in bed.

On the way back from the bathroom I peeked into the big girl's bedroom and I had to get my camera.  We have had three kiddos sleeping in here while we have been visiting ( an extra mattress on the floor). However when I peeked in...ALL FIVE... of my kidlings were there. I took some photos....and then something cute happened.

Jessica sat up, looked around her bed like a proud mother hen ( she had the two littles in her bed), she smiled at me, then got up. I said where are you going.....no response....she walked to her dresser, and smiled and said the tooth fairy was here. ( she had two teeth pulled several days ago and had forgot until last night to put them out....yes she still believes...or knows a good $$$ thing)
She then crawled back in her wee spot in the bed....closed her eyes and with a smile fell back to sleep!!! She probably thinks that I was the tooth fairy.

Since I was now very wide awake...and oh yes...Laura saw my photo that I posted and started texting from work....I decided....what better time to write a post....( PS for anyone who reads and wonders about the room decor...the girls have partly removed some dated wall paper and are first in line for a room makeover)

Jessica, Cooper and Georgia in the corner

Jacob on the spare mattress


Bed to herself....Sarah

She wakes with this sweet smile


Oh my sweet Georgia

Goodies from the tooth fairy.
