Just Add Water

My friend, the mini pool.

The $24.99 sanity-saver.

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!

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.

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!

The Little Family

Who knew that being 9 months pregnant could look this good?

Baby boy Sam Little was born on May 19th, 2009 – just a couple short weeks after these pictures were taken!  Megan, Nate, and big sister Stella were just oozing with excitement and anticipation for Sam’s arrival.   I love knowing that the Little house is now filled with the love and laughter of TWO sweet babies.  Enjoy the ride, folks! :)

i don’t think it’s fair to be that flippin’ adorable while pregnant!
now that is a maternity session done right!

[...] First of all, there’s the delightful Megan and her charming Nate.  Megan’s gorgeous face (and perfectly pregnant belly!) have appeared on the blog before… [...]

[...] friend, Megan, is an absolute ray of sunshine, inside and out.  I could tell you all about her [...]
