Kristen + Alex = Mia

leonard23.jpg

Don’t you just love it when you meet a child that is a perfect blend of two completely different people??

Sweet little Mia is exactly that.  From her mother’s lovely, milky skin, to her daddy’s hair and deep eyes…she’s the ideal combo!  Kristen and Alex, I’m not sure what kind of happy-juice you are feeding that little girl of yours, but truly,  Mia is just a literal bundle of joy.  She gave out more grins, squeals and adorable deep chuckles than I could keep up with.  What a delight.  :)

As I was going through these pictures on my computer,  I started to notice that in picture after picture after picture, Mia’s little fingers just seemed to be snapping away.  Ya can’t fight the rhythm!

Happy baby.  Happy parents.  Happy family.  Totally infectious.

(and can you even believe Kristen’s gorgeous hair??)

Alex, Kristen, and Mia, you guys just made this easy as pie.

Thank you for sharing your family with me for an afternoon.  You’ve definitely got a good thing going on.  Keep it up.  :)

My friend, the mini pool.

So, Mr. Weatherman, you say 98 degrees?  I say, BRING IT.

(but pretty please, only in 20-minute intervals)

What happens when Bailey gets to a store with a “no shirt no service” sign? Does she put one on then?

LOVE the pictures…as always. Your kids cheeks and skin just looks soooo creamy! Don’t you wish it would stay that way forever? Great job, Janica!

Juli DozierJune 15, 2009 - 8:03 pm

hey – ditto on what daddy said. i have been away for 2 weeks now and finally i took a much needed web break and went to ur website to see what the “FANTASTIC” Boles Family was up to, these pics of the kids was just what i needed to brighten my day!

hope all is well, i know daddy’s gone for a bit, but WOW Mom, its amazing what your little tidbits and pics do for those of us far away from home – it brings us just a bit closer.

I looove these! And the wit in your posts is awesome. I can just feel the Texas heat melting away…

Oh, Sister.

img_5929-web.jpg

My sweet Billy Bean,  I know we’ve had a rough go of it lately.

I understand how desperately difficult it is to be 17 months old.  Truly, I get it.  So please, feel free to keep experimenting with the drama-filled protests.  Keep clenching those fat little fists and pinching your bewildered big brother.  Throw back that pigtailed head of yours and let another one of those signature “noooooooo!”s rip.  Spit out most of your food and fling the remaining bits onto the floor.  (the dogs say you’re their favorite)

Because, my baby girl, soon you will realize – it is so much easier to laugh than it is to cry.  To go with the flow instead of fighting so hard against the current.  Hang in there, sister.  I know you will figure it all out soon enough.

But in the meantime, please don’t mind Mommy when she abruptly leaves the room, slowly counts to ten through clenched teeth, or screams into a nearby pillow.  It’s all a part of the ride.

xoxo.

As a recent witness to ummm, a few, or more of these fits, I have to say…. Poor mommy! Billy Bean, Mom needs a break! True Drama Queen. But, just between you and I, she is a REALLY cute fit thrower!
