beach pictures, take 4. . . .

why am i consumed with the idea of beautiful pictures of my boys on the beach? is it because i see so many of you, my dear friends, with lovely postcard-perfect beach pictures? it seems since russ was born i've been caught up in this frustrating sport of catching the two boys together on film. let's review together, shall we?

so the above picture was my first attempt at capturing the oh-so-lovely beach atmosphere. can't you tell they're having a delightful time? i can assure you that i was, as well. russ is 10 weeks old and kaden is 2 1/2. this is still one of my all-time favorite pictures. sad, i know. i think this is also about the time russ got the nick-name "sausage legs" from my daddy.

this was the only picture i got to take of the boys on our second trip to the beach b/c russ started throwing up (lovely) the morning after we arrived and we turned around and came back home. . . so i could become sick as well. not such a good vacation.

there should be pictures here showing you my third attempt at beach pictures, but alas, my camera ran out of batteries while taking pictures of our friends.



the previous 3 pics were from our trip to destin we just returned from. in the last one, kaden got sand in his eyes. all i can say is professional photographers so deserve their paychecks :O)

i did manage to capture this following little gem, though. not perfect, but precious in my eyes:

i love these feet! can you guess whose are the biggest?
