More cousin fun.....

As promised, more photos from Brenda and Jill's Ohio visit. These were from Friday, when we took a trip to visit Grandma L.

Eating lunch on Great Grandma's porch....

We took some time to do some 4 generation photos before we left...

Just some of Grandma's 18 great grandchildren (if I counted right!)....

LOVE this photo of Mia - it's just so her with her shoes on the wrong feet and her cute little toes...

Cousins!

We were so excited to have Brenda, Carsyn, Payton, Jill, Luke and Mia come visit Ohio for almost 2 weeks. Their first stop was our house for a few days. We had decided we didn't want to plan a lot of outings or activities - we just wanted to relax and let the kids play while we got the chance to visit and catch up. Of course I managed to take tons and tons of photos during their visit. I just can't resist shooting photos of them when we're together! So...be prepared for photo overload on the next few blog posts.

The first day we went to the park so the kids could run and play.

Luke, Carsyn, and Jenna...

All 6 of the kids swinging at the park. The only "Davis" grandchild missing is Marcus - he didn't make the trip to Ohio this time....

After Uncle Chris had pushed them on the swings and introduced them to "underdoggies", he decided it was time for them to push him!

Day 2 - swimming in our neighbor's pool....

Luke doing a cannonball (LOVE this photo!)...

Carsyn....

Mia...

Payton - being extra safe with arm floaties AND an inner tube!

Later....a campfire at the Koontz's ....

Jacob (or "Jatob" as she called him) and Mia...

S'mores (or at least our version of them -fudge stripe cookies with marshmallows - YUMMY!!)

Jill and Luke roasting their marshmallows...

4 Little Fairies....

After Jenna dressed up in a fairy outfit for photos with Jodi, I just knew I would have to borrow some fairy costumes for July. Jodi was so nice to let me borrow 4 costumes...and after a morning of hair and makeup (courtesy of Brenda and Jill) the 4 little fairies loaded into the van and headed to the woods for a photo shoot. The girls all loved their costumes and had so much fun playing fairy and letting me snap photos.

Jodi - THANKS so much for letting us borrow the costumes. The girls had so much fun and won't forget their fairy day with their cousins.

Mom/Grandma - The girls wanted to surprise you with these fairy photos. I don't think any of them slipped and mentioned it to you. We will definitely be getting you copies of photos of your 4 fairy girls!

PS Be kind in your critique of the actual photos - Lighting in the woods is very, very tricky! :)

Becca and Gabby

I was introduced to these two sweet sisters when I photographed their family this past fall. I was so excited when Mine contacted me to do more photos of them. They are too sweet and are so fun to photograph...especially with their big brown eyes!

Jackson, Zachary, and Benjamin

These three boys are quickly becoming some of my most photographed kids! They are always so fun to work with and always entertaining. This time we met back at the same park where I had shot some photos of them in the fall. I love how each of their personalities shows in the photos!

My sister Jill and Vickie - they have been best friends forever!

Jill's son Luke and Vickie's son Jackson....second generation buddies!
