The Hay Bails.

genius I tell you. genius.
stack 'em up and climb 'em.
we could have stayed on these for four hours alone.
it was enough fun for me to actually entertain the idea (for 30 sec's) of doing this in our back yard:







"ok. now. smile pretty girls" (after a 'silly' shot)
"good job Samantha?"


something needs to be said about this picture....actually, every picture of this girl that day.....there is just something about Samantha, and for those of you who get to be in her life a lot, know exactly what I mean, even though there really are no words:

..and Lydia...there really aren't words.
this girl lately...I tell ya.
Really, could everyone just STOP growing!?


I could barely get a picture of Sophie on these - she was going so fast and was ALL business. TOTAL focus. So cute.


Nora wouldn't go with anyone but Dada...her new name for her Daddy....and she repeated it all day...Dada...Dada...Dada...etc...




see??? what are we supposed to do with that!?

My dad would bail hay when we were growing up and my brother and I would do the same thing! It was so much fun jumping from hay bail to hay bail, except ours had a little bit of space (1-2 feet) between them. You had to run and jump or you would fall down between them! So much fun!!
