This means NO in Gemma speak!
I can't believe that she is already 22 months!

Bluebonnet beauties!


Springtime in Dallas means wildflowers!!

Bluebonnets are everywhere and the perfect backdrop for my cuties! Happy April...we are already in the 80's and the kids have already braved the pool.

Gem made a new best friend!

What kind of trouble could this little guy be thinking up...

So for Christmas Ryan got me a new lens for my camera...and I'm having way to much fun taking way to many pics...and now I discovered the editing program on the Mac...please bear with the pics, I'm still learning and until I convince my hubby to get me photoshop I will claim that I just don't have the right tools to look professional!
