Damn Near Impossible!

Not to mention EXHAUSTING!!! If I had a dollar for every time a picture didn't turn out I wouldn't be blogging right now, I would be in Caribbean drinking a fruity drink on the beach.

Really?

Adalyn couldn't stop petting her younger cousin.

Poor July

Adalyn has his ear, and instead of helping him Grandma laughs.

Adalyn is determined to make July cry.

He is trying to get some distance from her, but Grandma has a tight grip on him.

The inevitable..... she makes him break.

I had to adjust the red eye on everyone.....except Charleigh.

Clementine is fading fast, Charleigh is so hungry she is eating her chapstick, Adalyn is getting ready to wiggle free, and July is sick of being surrounded by all females!

Either Charleigh smells something awful or she is practicing her diving breaths for summer.

Clementine is ready for bed, Charleigh's smile is frozen into a scared grin and Kyren is getting ready to unleash the fury!

Kyren Sings the Blues.

Alright, so maybe he doesn't sing, but play the blues. You get the idea. Kyren, like any 8 year old boy isn't a big fan of photo shoots. But he cooperates because he knows what is good for him.

Part of the fan club

Just some of the people there to see Kyren's performance.

Adalyn was long over due for a nap, but was fine if you kept her entertained. L ike her sister she never wants to miss a thing. However, she has gotten very good at going right to sleep in her own bed. Ben was holding her so I could get a few pictures of Kyren playing.

PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC WHITE BOY.

Kyren was in the first year players, some of the songs we got down to included Mary had a little lamb, hot cross buns, and jingle bells. They were very good and I think we got Charleigh interested in playing the violin. Kyren was by far the best one in the group. Well, you couldn't really pick him out from the 50 players but I just know he was the best because he knows how to get down with a cello.

Yeah.... you go boy!

The kids table. Charleigh had apples and lima beans, she refuses to eat just about everything in the meat and vegetable groups. I try to tell her that if she wants to be a strong cowgirl, she will have to eat more meat and vegetables.... she isn't buying it. She is more stubborn than I could have ever been.

Grandma made her famous rolls, the highlight of the meal. I would rather have these than turkey, or dessert for that matter. If you have had one.. you know what I am sayin.

My little helpers

Both girls are like little Mommas. Clementine more than Charleigh, and they constantly want to "help" me...... Sorry Adalyn I owe you. Alright. Alright I owe you Big!

Everyone waiting to eat!

My cousin Drew is TALL!! I think he is 6'4 or 6'7, I cannot remember, but Kyren looks so cute next to him.

She is happy to see her Grandmother Ferrell, or as Charleigh calls her: Ferrell.

CLementine with her Annie doll, and Adalyn getting her hair....again! I am not sure who loves this game more, Clementine or Adalyn.

These two are 2 months apart I am so excited to see them grow up together.
