On Thursday, I dropped Scott off at school instead of having him take the metro. It's nice to go to D.C. around 10 or 11 in the morning because there is no traffic and you get there in 25 minutes instead of almost an hour during rush hour...we've learned not to drive to D.C. during rush hour...it's a bad, bad idea...we've also learned to take lots and lots of quarters for parking and never ever drive there on an almost empty tank of gas...there are NO gas stations there...anyway, after we dropped Scott off I decided that we were late for playgroup so the kids and I took a stroll through the Jefferson Memorial. It was the perfect day, about 55 degrees. We walked a good hour until Brielle and Braden started to get tired from walking and running around. We had a great time!...for the most part...
Yeah...until Brielle threw a tantrum...she wanted to take pictures so I gave her the camera thinking that she would figure it out and start pushing the button to take pictures...but instead she started playing with the lens and that was the end of it...I'm a horrible mom for taking pictures of my child throwing a tantrum...but it was kind of funny...ha ha ha!
These two sure love each other...they can't be away from each other...the other day I had an appointment and I left Brielle with a friend and took Braden with me. When we got back Brielle ran to the car opened the door, jumped in the car and gave Braden the biggest hug! She kept telling him, "I missed you Bwaden!" I was almost in tears!
This girl and lip gloss...she loved it and wants to put it on every second of the day...
After running around for a good hour...I think this little boy was tired...

Such precious memories and photos... I love it! I'm glad that your kids enjoy each other so much, even though I know it's not always perfect. :)
By the way, how do you do all of those snazzy things with your pictures? Do you use photoshop to include the backgrounds? I see so many people doing it, but am not sure how!
haha! I take pictures of my kids throwing fits too! What else can you do? One minute they're cute and adorable, the next minute, major meltdown! lol
Awww, it is adorable how much your kiddos love each other!! :)
Hey, do you remember where you got the digital scrapbook paper for the page of Brielle chasing the geese?
your kids are so cute! i love the pics of brielle and her tantrum, so funny, isn't it like they turn into someone else?!
Thanks so much for the update! You are still legendary to me and I'm so happy to know you! NOT to mention that your kids are SO ADORABLE, haha! Espero que ustedes sigan con tantas bendiciones y haciendo tantas buenas memorias. Un abrazo!
Hey, I love that you comment on our blog!! It was also to finally hang out with you too, sorry I was kind of an emotional mess that night. I almost didn't go. I have family in town till the 11th but after that I am hoping there will be some more good weather and we should pack a lunch and go to the park or the zoo. We could just ride together to the zoo. I LOVE the tantrum pictures! I have some of Avery and they are so funny! If they only knew how funny they looked.
sorry, I guess I should have proof read my comment :0) but it was fun to hand out with you too.
Your kids are so cute. I miss you guys!
You have some of the cutest, most beautiful children I have ever seen. I love how you guys do so many fun activities, and how good you are at taking pictures and documenting all the fun stuff. You inspire me! Thank you! I'm glad you had a fun day.
I don't know how you keep up with your blog so well! and with mine, and all your other friends blogs! It's amazing. It's so great that your backyard is a myriad of such wonderful historic places to see! Seth and I just watched the full version of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. It is so inspiring! We are going to come to D.C. sometime this year or next. Seth's sis lives there. But I definately want to visit you too! I love the tantrum shots. She'll laugh and thank you later.
I'm sure there will be one day in the future when those shots of Brielle throwing a tantrum will come in handy! :-)
That is so fun! You are such a great photographer and I love your digital scrapbook pages. You've got the cutest kiddos. I love them!!
