New house and new baby called for new pictures! Shannon, your house is adorable and might be my favorite new location for photos...just sayin'... :D

Then of course there are the bajillion that were more like these two below...HA!

Yes, exactly! Hahaha! :D

Little Man is very into cowboys right now and since I was just in the land of cowboys last week, I knew I had to bring something back for him to go with the hat and rope I knew he was getting for his birthday.  Add a "cowboy shirt", red bandana, sherrif's badge, and a real cowboy belt and he was good to go! :) 

Of course we had to get one with all the brothers in it (except for the oldest who as at school)...and I might have taken 25 of these but look! - all eyes on the camera and everyone is smiling?!  This never happens!  lol  :)

So I had seen a picture on Pinterest that was one of the first ones I ever pinned...and I knew I had to do a photo shoot similar to it sometime and LMS's 13th birthday seemed like the perfect chance, so a few weeks ago, I got to have my kids for the day and we got nails done, let LMS have a mini makeover, find a cute dress...although we ended up using her jeans more...found jewelry for both her and LMG and a cool shirt for Mr. Happy and then headed back to my house...

...to play in 5lbs of glitter!!  :D

It was so much fun and my house will never be the same again! Lol!  It was so worth it though!

So, in the spirit of keeping things real...here's a glimpse behind the pretty smiles as to what really goes on with these three...and usually with LMG...  ;)  I saw this meme and cracked up laughing and had to put the two following pics together ha! 

Yep. That pretty much sums it up! :D

Ohmystars.  I've always said he's gonna be a heartbreaker!! 

More behind the scene fun with this pic...they had me cracking up again...  There was squishing, piling, pyramid attempts...  :}
