It was that time again. Time to capture the smiles of our offspring in portrait pictures. There weren't a lot of great ones, but that made it that much easier to pick out the top two for each child and together poses. Which I think ARE pretty good!

Miles Turns 4!
On Saturday, our little boy became a 4 yr old. He was so excited for his birthday, both for the festivities and to finally become 4.
Just in case the guests had any question as to whether this was the right house...
First up, Miles wanted a pirate party and so it was. Too bad he would only wear this getup for a few minutes before the guests came.
Mommy came up with various activities to keep the pirate guests entertained for 2 hours. One was a craft. Painting and decorating a little treasure chest.
While the paint dried, the kids had grilled hotdogs and hamburgers for lunch and then went on a treasure hunt put together by Captain Dad.
After several ever games, it was cake time. Miles requested a chocolate cake with no frosting. I finally convinced him on CoolWhip for frosting. It actually tasted really good.
The aftermath of party number 1...
In between parties, Miles naps.
Just a couple pics from the family party. Cupcakes with CoolWhip (as requested by Miles for cake for this party).
Miles enjoying his new play shaving kit. Is it strange that this almost made me cry? He can't grow up!! I know, I'm being silly
You don't want to see the aftermath at the end of the day!

Ella's Last Day of Preschool EVER
All bundled up on JUNE 3 for her last day as a pre-schooler.
Tried to get both of them to pose nicely. Ha!
Many more attempts were made than shown here.
Eventually I gave up!

Big Girl Bike
Saturday Ella's Grandparents bought her a very very nice new big girl bike. No training wheels! She's been out once to learn with dad, but the weather hasn't been cooperating much since to give it another try.

Beautiful Boy
I really haven't done much with my photography lately for whatever reason, but had a hankering to use our 50 mm lens today to take photos of Ella by the daffodils in our back yard. Almost every year I have taken a pic of her by the daffodils. Perhaps because these are the first to bloom each Spring and I get excited about the flowers.
After her photo shoot I went inside to a crying Miles who wanted to go outside. When I told him no, he told me he wanted me to take his picture. And how could I resist? Here is my favorite of his shoot...
Daffodils Through Time
I don't know why I started this or what possessed me to do it every year, but it has become a tradition. And when I saw the first daffodils blooming this morning, it reminded me it was time for this year's photo.
Ella was born in December 2003.
2004
(I was sure I took a daffodil photo outside in 2005 but I cannot seem to find it in our files). So these indoor fake ones from the Mall Easter Bunny visit will have to do for now.
