To Shelley

Someone asked me the other day what "studio" we used to get our professional family photos done earlier this summer. I was horrified when I realized that I had been remiss in not mentioning that my dear friend Shelley took these photo's for us as a favor.

I'm sorry that I did not mention this much sooner. They turned out positively fabulous and we were so grateful since we really couldn't have afforded a studio sitting. She did such a wonderful job for us and we are so thankful.

THANK YOU SHELLEY!!!!!!!!

As for Shelley, sadly, I don't think she is for hire but I can always ask. =)

Running with Scissors (and much, much more!)

And who said scissors were for ages four and up? We are very advanced at our house...

Mommy is pretty creative...here is what she made with her scissors... Matching hats!

And paper dolls!
Ring around the rosies..

Kayley taking a nap hobo-style...

It got to cold for Kayley to sleep like a hobo...so I built her a tent...

The tent was fun!

Harmony Farms

We went to Harmony Farms this morning. It is part of the Phoenix Zoo. It is a large petting zoo area for children with some interactive farm "stuff." It was hot, but it was fun too!

Here is Kayley checking out the Wallaby. She saw that thing and said, "Bunny!!"

Kayley in the Wallaby's Pouch...

Playing in the enormous Prairie Dog tunnel...

Look! Pinecones!

Petting the goats...Kayley enjoyed smacking them on the rump...

Staring at them...she was saying, "Come'ere! Cooomee'ereee!"

She smacked a couple on the head too...

She gave this one a hug...although I think he was trying to get away....

Come here you crazy goat and give me a hug!!

Whoa...this one is kind of big...but she tried to give him a hug too...

Awwww...hug the little goat....

She pulled on this goats ears... These poor little goats..they were so patient with the kids. This goat just looks like he is saying, "Oh...not the ears again..."

We washed our hands after...

A bull. "Cooomeee'eere" she kept saying...

Riding the tire rocking horse.

Driving the tractor... this one was too big.

Trying to pet a rooster...

What is THAT!

It's an EGG!

A ladybug!!

A Worm!

Run! This looks so much better!

Riding a tractor that is just the right size...

Riding a horse in the corral...

Remember When?

I have had a few requests for some "remember when" type pictures so I thought I would post a flashback for your enjoyment....

These photo's are from August 2006. Anyone remember when Kayley was this small?
She is such a beautiful baby.
She is 6 weeks old in all 4 photos.

This one cracks me up...that pacifier is HUGE on her tiny face...

Here are photo's from August 2007....I can't believe how much Kayley has grown!

Enchanted Land play area...

Kayley got the chance to meet up with her friend Tate at Enchanted Land play area in the mall. The kids had a blast...until the tantrums started... Here are few pics.

Kayley at the top of the slide...

Sharing some goldfishy's with Tate!
