Throwback Thursday

I absolutely love these photos of Cam. I have always loved bandannas on people...I always loved it when Michael wore them when we were dating. I really loved them on the boys as well. What a stinkin cutie Cam is here.

Throwback Thursday

Cam always looked so good in green. This was one of my favorite outfits for him. I just love his chubby little cheeks. I cannot believe that this cute little boy is now almost 18 years old. It just does not seem possible.

Throwback Thursday

We could have used this pool two days ago. It was so hot here. I love this photo of the boys hanging over the edge of the pool.

There is nothing I love more than mud photos of the boys. I can see the pure joy of playing in the mud written on their faces.

I will never forget how scared Cam was to jump off this diving board at Grandma's house. We had to beg and beg him to do it. Once he did it, we could not get him off of it. He would jump in, swim to the ladder, and go right back and jump in again. I will never forget how fast he could swim with that life vest on...it did not stop him one bit.

Throwback Thursday

Today's Throwback Thursday is a day late, but my photos are Father's Day photos. I just love these. The second photo is one of my favorites.

Throwback Thursday

I always loved the boys dressed in this costume. It reminds me of the car commercial.

Throwback Thursday

I have always cut the boys hair. They have only been to a barber once in their life...when we lived in Florida. Grandma treated them to a Barber haircut. Although I don't particularly love cutting their hair, I sure have saved us a lot of money by cutting all of our hair...even Lily.

Throwback Thursday

When we lived in Florida, the boys favorite thing to do was to catch lizards. They were obsessed with it. That ended one day though when we found a water moccasin (also known as a cottonmouth snake) in the yard...under a flower pot.

There are probably 10 or more lizards in this cage

Throwback Thursday

These are some of my favorite photos of the boys.

Here are my picks for Throwback Thursday photos. Jar has always loved sports since he was little...and he has always been very competitive. I love these photos. It sure brings back a lot of memories.

This is seriously the best photo ever!

Throwback Thursdays

This week Throwback Thursday is of the boys and their favorite things when they were little boys.

Cam's favorite thing was LEGO's

Jar's favorite thing was Dinosaurs--he loved Land Before Time movies

Throwback Thursday

This photo tells so much of our story. Michael and I have enjoyed hiking since the time that we met. We have been to Chimney Rock, NC, which is where Last of the Mohicans was filmed. We have enjoyed hiking as a family since the boys were little. Often times, one of the boys was in a backpack carrier. In this photo the boys were able to walk on their own. They have owned hiking boots since they were able to walk. Here we are hiking at Hills Creek State Park in Pennsylvania. We loved it so much. I always took lots of photos, the boys had their binoculars and whistles, and Michael was walking Keesha. I love these memories that we have.

Throwback Thursday

Today's Throwback Thursday is of the boys when we went for a visit to Florida in 2004...I believe when Grandpa had his surgery.

I love these photos of the boys. It brings back so many memories. These boys and I have had so many adventures together. I am a tomboy, so I fit right in with two little boys. I never minded getting dirty, and I never minded them getting dirty. In fact, I encouraged it most of the time. I have been to every park within two hours of our house...here and in PA. They are my two little buddies. I love them so much.

In the first photo:
The boys and I are sensitive to bright light, so I love how Jar has his hand up to block the sun from his eyes, and Cam is barely opening his eyes. I love how they have their arms around each other. They have been best buds from the very beginning. I love that.

In this second photo:

I love this fun photo. We took this at the duck pond near Grandma's house. The boys loved to go there and feed the ducks some bread. While there, we came up with some fun photo ideas. This was one that I really loved. I love that the boys have their jet shoes on...they wore these all of the time.

In this third photo:

The boys have worn sunglasses since they were just little...because of their sensitivity to bright light. I love how the backdrop almost looks fake, but it is not. It is just beautiful. I love how they have their jean shorts on and their jet shoes. It is so precious. Everywhere I went, people would always ask me if they were twins--in this photo, they do somewhat look like they could be twins.

In this last photo:

These boys are just too cute. I love how they are both squinting...because they don't have their sunglasses on them. I love seeing their little hands on their knees. And, I think I see a band aid on Jar's leg...this was a common occurrence for him. He was always just so busy that he would hurt himself.

Fun in the Mud

When the boys were little, they loved to play in the dirt...and the mud. I never minded it either. They could be sprayed down, and their clothes could be washed. I loved to take photos of them when they were so dirty. Here are some of my favorites.

Past Photos

Here is a look into our past. I love the photos of Jar. He is just too cute.
