Itsy Bitsy Spiders

Yesterday I swung by Smartt Steps and picked up Baylee's dance portraits. I think they turned out super cute. No one would guess she was just 3 years old in this picture. In my opinion she looks at least 5 or 6!

 The photographer took A LOT of group shots. It was quite a challenge to get 9 girls to smile, pose correctly, and look in the same direction. :)

The video from recital night should be ready by September. I can't wait!

Oh you make me smile!

Monkey Joe's with 4 wild and crazies!!

Saturday morning my cousin Leah and her 3 kiddos drove to Tennessee to hang out with us for the day. They are spending the summer in Kentucky since their Daddy is working there which means they are only about 2 hours from us. When Leah told me they were coming for a visit we figured Monkey Joe's was a good place to let the kids run wild. I took my Cannon with me with intentions of getting great action shots of them all. When I snapped the 1st picture it said "please insert card"! UGHHH.... I left the card in my computer after I uploaded Baylee's party pics. I did get some with my phone.

 Baylee and Kami were holding hands when they went down the slide. Kami looks terrified in this picture but she was really having a good time.

 YUMMY pizza!

 Crazy curls Kami!

It was a fun filled 4 hours at Monkey Joe's!

4 on the 4th

My sister was sweet enough to take pictures during Baylee's party so I wouldn't feel like I was missing everything. Plus, she has a AWESOME Nikon that takes beautiful pictures! We had a great turnout even with the extreme heat. Lots of friends and family showed so I was so glad we chose to have Baylee's 4th birthday in our home state of Louisiana.
