Sooooo….. we kind of missed bluebonnet season this year! Just a lot going on, lol! Here we are with the very tail end of them, but no regrets here! This will probably be the girls’ favorite bluebonnet memory from their childhood!

Cheers to our southern gentleman! Can’t wait to see you in the bluebonnets next year, Jessen!

 

Love our Emma-P! Best friend to all!

 

  

So, yeah… this is where the best memory part comes in. We had to hunt down some bluebonnets to even get a picture with them at all, and the only ones we could find were on a busy road… so, we had to climb this dirt pile from the other side to get to them. Yes, I was 8 months pregnant. It’s one of the only credits I give to having spent my childhood dancing… extraordinary balance.

I didn’t realize what a memory it was until a couple weeks later, when Rose asked when we could go “rock climbing” again. I told her she had never been rock climbing before, and she was adamant that she had. She finally blurted out in frustration, “Mom, we went with Emily to get to the bluebonnets! We climbed the big big rocks to get there.” Ohhhhhhhh…

The day we took the pictures, Emily and Noelle just thought it was funny and kept making fun of me, like, “Wow, can’t believe you’ll go to this extreme for a picture!” but were having fun with it. Anna Kate was just exploring—always exploring. Gosh, I love my kids!

Mike was not the happiest of campers when he saw the pictures, but he trusts me with all of his heart and was not surprised one bit! He wouldn’t have let us do it if he had been there… love that man!

So, I award the bluebonnet pictures of 2016, the most fun bluebonnet pictures we will ever have… and aren’t those the best kind to have?
