When They Cooperate

collage38
It is so fun when both Things will cooperate for me to take their pictures. Sophia is still my challenge for the camera.....there are times she just doesn't want to cooperate. That's a Hunan girl for you! lol Daniel on the other hand can produce quite the cheesier. collage42
Daddy bought them these dinosaur noodles for the pool. Oh my achin' word....they loved them. What a hoot to watch them try and get climb on them with their life jackets on. They flop all over but usually manage to make it. Sophia still continues to be more of the fish. She would stay in the pool all day if I'd let her. Daniel needs to move on to the next activity after about 30 minutes. Go figure! ;) But he has no fear.....he jumps in and splashes all over the place.
~sigh~
I just love my babies! ;)

so darling!

Yes Caitlyn is a huge challenge too, she ignores you totally when you say her name and ask her to look at you. That spicy Hunan thing:)

Whether they cooperate or not, you always get the most beautiful photos!!

Those dinos are adorable....and it looks like both Sophia and Daniel had some great pool time fun with them!

It is always fun when Daddy comes home with a surprise!

Daniel & Sophia look so cute - even when they are not cooperating.

Great pool pictures. My Livi is a fish she stays in the water until she prunes!

LaLa said...

So sweet!! Love how serious they are in the pool on those noodles LOL

Kate said...

I've been following your blog for a little while now. You have a beautiful family!

AND I completely agree...Hunan girls are so stubborn when it comes to taking their picture. I have a spicey girl myself and it's all I can do to get her to LOOK at the camera...much less smile! ugghh..

Have a great weekend!

I love those little noodles! They look like they are having a great time in the pool.

day by day said...

Daniel's smile is beautiful and whenever I see one of his big smiles in a pic...it always makes me smile!

My Hunan sweetie also gives me quite a hard time when it comes to taking pictures. I guess we shouldn't be surprised...that is why they are call Spicy Girls!!

Oh they are so adorable, and I love the way you use collages too!

You are right- Sophie & Ollie do remind me of your precious two- only I wish Ollie was good about taking photos like your precious Daniel!

I also left a comment on the post about Sophia in her wedding dress- so sweet!

So cute.

Kristi said...

Hope your weekend was as fun as it looked from the pics! Anna does not always cooperate either. She also tends to close her eyes! She does like to look at pics of herself though so I am using that as a motivator!

Debbie said...
