Spring time in Texas ... when the pollen tickles your nose and makes your eyes itch to the point you wish you didn't have them. One day it's 90 degrees and the next you are kicking yourself for putting away your winter clothes. The rain falls the hardest in the morning when you are dropping kids off at school or picking them up in the afternoon. Thunderstorm warnings are followed by endless tornado watch postings and kids and animals are running into your room in the middle of the night because they think the actual lightening is out to get them.
But then... there's....
bluebonnets!
(Which also leads to #momswithfancycameras pretending to act like they know what they are doing and force their children to sit in the bluebonnets and smile.)
This year I promised them it would take 10 minutes or less if they just sat and smiled...
Years of picture taking practice paid off...
and we were done in 10 minutes exactly!
Emmy even found time to twirl (and if I was more than just a #momwithafancycamera this picture wouldn't be blurry).
I can't get over how big these kids are getting...
the tops of their heads keep getting further and further away from the tops of those bluebonnets.
And because I'm a sap... I decided to take a stroll down memory lane and...
This kid is going to make an awesome husband and dad one day for like a thousand noble reasons, but also because he smiles on cue.
Favorite bluebonnet pictures of all time were when Emmy just was not having it. And she hasn't changed a bit... when she doesn't want to do something, she's not doing it.
This sweet baby - I have pictures of Rad and Emmy in this spring tradition but they aren't on this computer, so it just feels like I didn't take them until Landry was born. I mean - that's the exact opposite of third kid mom behavior!
So, spring time in Texas may be crazy... but it's also awesome.
Texas forever and ever and ever...
(ignore my Colorado tshirt!)
