Dog-gone tired boy...picture parade anyone?

I am still figuring out my new camera so I have been taking lots of practice shots...I still need more practice. anyway, last night I was making dinner and Alex was playing nearby...all of a sudden it got very quiet. Ari comes over to me and whispers 'look at Alex' and here is what I found...yup that is a dog bed.

And the joys of being a big sister...you can convince your little brother to do just about anything...LOL!

Anyone else want to share? And it came be any kiddo or pet or whatever you want to share.

Such cute pictures!

Here are mine -- DD wants to be *just like* her big brother. Here she is next to him while they're watching TV (even though she couldn't care less about TV). And here's DS on his first day of Kindergarten (Friday.) He did great.

Kevin--your kids are gorgeous!! The baby is getting big!

Waiting2be--those are great shots--she is so cute, I love the outfits!

I love looking at all the pictures, so I have to share too!

The first picture is proof of brainwashing...Hollis is already a University of Texas football fanatic!

Second, Hollis is doing his favorite thing at the first birthday party he was invited to.

Can't wait to see more pictures!

Here's one of my Alivia. She's finally getting the idea of smiling for the camera. I just love seeing the sheer happiness and contentment on her face in this one!
