the pop-up carnival.

a friend mentioned tea-cups of death. as a joke.

i got so excited, i couldnt contain it.

i texted EJ immediately and told him that i had to take the bigs to the tiny carnival, in plano, that showed up in a parking lot overnight.

aidan had a party on friday. i had a shoot on sat. but yesterday... gorgeous sun, not too chilly.

i knew sawyer would love every ride - and i thought aidan would puke. but despite her original grimace, 2 mins into the swings and she was hooked. they went about 8 times. the man running it kept letting them stay on. the girls were so excited. they would tell the other kids how fun it was and not to be scared. their thrill was the reason i knew i'd love so many pics from last night... pure child excitement.

holy catch up.

I hate not keeping up with blogging.

But i also love that we are so busy doing normal things that i dont have time ;)

this entry is full of fun. starting off with relay for life.

yet again, dancer strong and their family went above and beyond in reese's name. they had a walk team, raised money for RFL -- and reese got a medal (which she adores haha), we walked the survivor's lap, and met new friends while laughing all night with the old ones. such an amazing night.  everyone rocked their gingerfight tees and i teared up all night over the love.

and then there was just hanging out -- the park after sawyer's soccer practice with miller made me giggle.


one morning aidan said she made reese breakfast.
um. this is not breakfast.
but look how happy reese is.


one night we decided to pack up and head to the splash park/sand beach one night. it was so fun. miller freaked out in excitement (and, uh, stood on her head 100 times lol) over the water. reese liked the sand more.


photography tidbit: these next two are with the sun facing them. it twitches me out to do that, but i was too lazy to flip around til later. but you can see the difference.


at 7pm, they had a water show -- and you'll see the girls' reactions to that! they were amazed.


swoon.
