some of the best pictures ever are the ones not posed. the ones where you just let kids be kids and let life happen. i mean, let's be honest, kids do what they want anyway, right? so we might as well go with it.




hey look,  here's a posed one!

now back to business... a little ring around the rosie. much better.

and this little last was a hambone. i thoroughly enjoyed her spunkiness.













they never did run out of energy. oh well... it was more fun that way, anyway!

Isabella is ONE!

So, Krystal has a special place in my heart. She played an important role in both of my pregnancies. she was there for EVERY doctor's appointment and kept me entertained the whole time. That's because she was my nurse!

Anywho, here daughter just turned one and I captured life with a momma and her chicken. SO FUN!
