Birthday at the Park

You are 3, Happy Birthday!

My friends and I meet at the park earlier in the week, to celebrate the kiddos who are now 3.

It was such a beautiful, relaxing day and the start of many more park days!

so FUN!

a few of the kids

Currently there is another birthday cake cooking in the over, we are celebrating my son's 7th birthday tonight, since we will be out of town on his actual birthday.

Happy Friday,

have a wonderful and safe weekend!

BTW, what do you think of my ever changing blog, logo?...I can not figure out what I want, just wish someone could do it for me, please if you have any suggestions or design ideas send them my way.  Soon, this summer/fall Crystal Lee Photography will have a new look....that's my plan anyway :)

Self-Timer

 I'm lovin' self-timer.  I'm thinking I should take a "self-timer" photo, once a week.  We'll see...hopefully it lasts longer than my "Photo-a-Day" project did....either way, it'll be fun to attempt.

I've been just itching to use my new lens, so yesterday, after church, we went to the park.  "Yay", for my cooperating family...it goes in streaks...I'm constantly saying "look at Mom"...and they (the kids) get so sick of seeing my camera.  But it was a beautiful day, an open field, a soccer ball and a park to play at.  It was a win-win for everyone.

This baby girl, has her momma and daddy, wrapped around her little finger.

can't forget about this boy...he's two, just letting you know, in case you didn't hear him a minute ago

I hope my blog readers don't mind that my blog is all over the place...lately it's been more personal and less business...but the one thing in common, are the photographs...so whatever it is that I'm blogging about (personal or business) I'll make sure to share photos, in hopes that they will bring a smile to someone :)

a Day at the Park

Today was BEAUTIFUL!

We had to get out of the house, so I couldn't see everything that needed to be done (like always)

and just enjoy this gorgeous Saturday doing something together as a family.

We went to Elm Creek Park, and discovered the Ultimate Park (under new construction)

the kids and I are just TRILLED for summer to come

and for the park to be completed.

Here are a few snapshots from today (from my camera phone)

I'm obsessed with dressing my girls alike, hopefully I get over this obsession soon,

it's getting expensive.

I can barely go into Target without leaving with something for them, that matches.

Nelson was all over the place, he is such a monkey.  It was quite sloppy out, he got soak, and had to run to Once Upon a Child to pick up a new pair of pants, before we went to dinner.

Even Mom tried out the new swing,

lot's of fun!

 Austin had a blast throwing the football back n forth with his Dad

We enjoyed a fun dinner at Old Country Buffet,

I could not believe their prices,

2-3 year olds were $1.99

5-7 year olds were $3.99

I thought that was a great deal,

and it was such a treat!

We ended our day out with a trip to the book store.

Towards the end, Nelson was getting tired and started fussing, so we knew it was time to leave. 

As we were leaving this lady (just a customer at Barnes & Noble) came up to me (she was just furious)

and said "I will give you a dollar if you leave RIGHT now"

...she was about to explode because Nelson was fussing (he wasn't even that out of control). 

obviously she was never blessed with children.

Sure enough, he fell asleep on the drive home.

I love my Family!
