Unicorns, Horses, and Puppies

Courtney came to Houston and invited us to go to Build a Bear with her. Addy had some how hurt her leg and had been limping for a few days. I didn't think she would want to go. I wasn't sure how bad of an injury it was. She does tend to exaggerate things sometimes. :D I decided to try and bring her in a stroller and see how it went.
Once we were there she got out of the stroller and faintly limped around.
Here are the choices they made. The horse is named Gabriella. The unicorn is named Selena. The puppy is named Max.
If you have been to Build a Bear you know the process. You make wishes on their hearts, dance, and do other silly things to ensure you animal has a good life.

This is purely Elena. She was so excited to get her horse.
After you stuff them, you wash them. This was one of the highlights for Hyrum. He keep on going back. It sure doesn't look that fun to me!

Blue Bell and Bluebonnets

My mom really wanted to go see the bluebell factory. I really wanted to go see the bluebonnets. It just so happens that on the way to one you get to see the other. The bluebonnets were in full bloom and there were football fields of them! It was amazing.
This was pretty much how Addy looked for most of the time in the bluebonnets. "The sun's in my eyes!"

Elena

I couldn't decide what version I like better. So you will see the colored version at the end. She is really turning into a great young lady! It is amazing to think she will be getting baptized this year. Sniffle,sniffle

This is my favorite picture of Elena.

Adelyn

I love my little girl! She is usually the easiest one or the hardest to photograph. the first two pictures are my favorite ones. The last one is also a runner up. This black and white really draws me in.

Kid Shoot

I could not get Hyrum to take a picture with a smile. So all I ended up with were their back sides.I resorted to bribing him and even with that I only got his cheese grin (he only uses it for pictures).
Here is one with color for fun. Lately, I have been loving black and white photos.

Hyrum

I got a chance to take some individuals of all the kids. Here are some pictures of Hyrum. He is super silly when I get my camera out.Seriously, can you say cheese nicely?! Sigh...




This photo is just so him!

This Boy Cracks me Up!

I was getting Hyrum ready for Church one Sunday. I was putting gel in his hair and giving him the messy look. He looked in the mirror and said that it was ugly! He then proceeded to tell me that he wanted it like a missionary. So here he is with the side comb over look. I don't mind that look. But I am sure daddy will have something to say about it.
Hyrum's class went on a field trip to the zoo. This was the only picture I took. This orangutan sat and looked at the kids for a long time.
