Final Days In Paradise

Fia and her new coconut purse.
Hanging out with Daddy.
Bugging my sister.
Oops....looks like he forgot one. ;)
We had a fun day by the pool today. As you can see Sophia loves the pool. She'll play with her toys for quite some time and when she can get Daddy in the pool she is totally happy. The Boy on the other hand found it quite funny to crawl on top of sissy while she was sun bathing to eat his pretzels. That amused several people at the pool as well. And is that not just the most adorable little coconut purse you have ever seen? I am hoping to take some beach shots tonight or tomorrow, but something tells me I'm a few years away from getting what I want. Daniel is just way too difficult at this point and Sophia can be quite feisty when I pull out my camera and usually Emmie dislikes every picture that I take of her. ~sigh~ What is a Mother to do? lol

hey, that sounds just like a photo shoot around here! one that won't sit still, one who make all sorts of goofy faces for the camera and a teen who doesn't like how she look in most of the pictures. glad we are not alone!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how wonderful! Love all the pics and it just looks like you are all having a ball.... I'm not ready for it to end.... I am living vicariously through you and I know you must be loving it there.
"Love the coconut purse!!!!!!!!!!!!" you can tell Sophia loves it too! Too sweet!

What is a mother to do you ask????
Why keep taking pictures,it is the best form of revenge and blackmail a parent can have.

Great pics yet again! I'm sure Emmie loves having Daniel on her back...tan lines COME ON!! haha ;) Enjoy your last full day there...Love ya!

Debbie said...

You take pictures anyway and if they don't like them , 10 years from now, they will look back and be glad!! I love Sophia's pictures in the pool, and Daniel is too cute sitting on his sissy!!! I am sure Emmie isn't quite liking it so much! Pretty pictures!!

oh beautiful beautiful..
I just love seeing little Daniel and his busyness. Sophia and Caitlyn could have a good time pouring and pouring away with their little water toys. Caitlyn does that for hours too.
Have fun with your last few days. How is your shoulder and neck doing? Has this relaxing time helped the pain to subside?
Love

Looks like pure paradise! I love all of your pictures, but thought the one of the pretzel on big sissy's back was too cute! Don't you just love little ones?

C's Mom said...

That is a serious slice of heaven going on! I'm loving that lil coconut purse. Too cute.

Keep the pictures coming because they are all beautiful!

jennifer said...

OK, I've been trying not to be jealous, but it's not working!! I am loving all the "sun" pictures. At least you'll have a great tan in the cold weather.

More beautiful pictures! I love the one with Sophia and her daddy in the pool. I just love the precious moments between daddy and their little girls. The one of Emmie and Daniel is too cute, too. Enjoy your last few days!

Nikki said...

I LOVE the coconut purse - and Fia's polka dot baithing suit, too.

Emmie is a GORGEOUS baithing beauty - even with a pretzel on her back! (silly Daniel!)

Enjoy the rest of your time there...hope you get some cool beach shots.

p.s. I'm still laughing about our texting mishap earlier!

Love you!!!!

Holly said...

How sad to be leaving that wonderful place!!!!

Pam said...

Love all the pictures. The Things look beautiful as always.

redmaryjanes said...

Look how tan Sophia is! Love the pics, I'm so jealous. No warm vaca for us.
I'm in Chicago at Cisco training. Way fun and I think I'm getting a chest cold. I head home tomorrow, then I'm packing up and heading to KC.

The Byrd's Nest said...

I know EXACTLY what you mean. Elisabeth never lets me put her on the blog. She erases every picture I take of her from the camera so I can never download them. Nice!!!!

I love the picture of Daniel on top of Emmie! Precious!

Nancy said...

So...
Did anyone get a coconut bra to go with that purse?

Kim said...

um Emmie looks like a model, how much more gorgeous can she look??? I don't know how anyone can not like photos like that...must be a teen thang.

Every shot you take looks like it was created for a magazine...I think I am falling in love with your camera more and more every day ;) Do you use the same lens or change them often for different shots??? I am a fuddle fingers and drop things quite regularly so I am scared to death to get a nice camera for mainly that reason alone...it has to have bounce

I just love the photos... glad to hear you had a great time in Maui... I know when we were on Hawaii... it was blissful... falling asleep on a hammock, between two palm trees in a the cool breeze... heavenly... take care...
