We were greeted at the door by 2 adorable pictures Layla had painted for us...what a sweet and awesome welcome! She turned 3 a month ago and all she wanted was fingers paints and she got them and created masterpieces for us with them!
I was talking with Layla about how we could go play on the playset after we were done taking some pictures and then we could have so much fun playing and getting all messy and dirty. DUH Karen! Little girls don't like to get dirty! She promptly told me no, she didn't want to get dirty. :)
I have no doubt that little Cooper will take me up on the offer in a couple of years though! He is ALL boy....he loves to make noise, I just know that finding dirt is next on his list of things to accomplish! Tthe harder and louder he can bang something on the table...the better it is! Check out this little guy with his handsome hat! This is nearly too much to handle!
Guess what we got to do next? Take the puppies out to play!! Gosh, I wasn't in heaven or anything...no not at all!
This next story could have been the funniest story of the day. We were done taking pictures and were hanging out and talking. Layla wanted her umbrella on her picnic table. She was told she could go get as long as she could do it by herself. Nothing will stop Layla, she is a determined little girl! She promptly went inside and we all fully anticipated her coming back with nothing. Not so! Next thing we saw was the umbrella in her hand and she was ready to put it up! Looks pretty good doesn't it?!?!?
Cousin Handsaker family - :) We love hanging out with you guys and have so much fun capturing your family! We don't see each other often enough! But we do melt when Layla calls us by name and it seems like we are with her every day! And the way she says Cooper's name is the sweetest voice on earth! I love watching her and how much she cares for him! We can't wait to keep watching the little man as he grows up! I'm taking a rain check with Layla and will apply it to Cooper when he's ready to find that dirt pile with me!
P.S. Jen, you have to go get Layla for this next part. I promised her we would surprise you. It's about to come....
I had not seen Layla's room since it had been converted to her "big girl" room so Layla gave me the tour. It ended up turning into an impromptu photo session and I told Layla that it would be a big surprise for mommy when she saw the pictures. So here you go Layla...SURPRISE MOMMY!! :)

You take such amazing pictures Karen & Eric!!! Wow. We need to see you guys. Where have you been all summer? We miss you. Just today we saw someone walking a couple of dogs that looked just like Punk and Maddox.
