Bluebonnet Birthday

It was a tradition when I was young, that my mom would dress Amy and I up in cute little dresses and take our pictures in the bluebonnets every Spring. So I of course had to try to do it too. I almost missed it this year since we have been so busy. I was trying to wait for a good day, since cloudy days are the best for photoing outside. But, Wednesday afternoon, in the middle of the boys birthdays, I picked the boys up from school and headed to Las Collinas. I worked right across the street from this field and I knew it always had a good collection of them. I dressed the boys in the "Happy Birthday to ME!" shirts that I got them months ago, thinking that they could wear them to their joint Birthday party! I thought it was still appropriate since it was in between each birthday!
At first I tried getting posed pictures of the boys, but they weren't having it! So I told them to run around and have fun...SO THEY DID! I love all the pictures of them find rocks and putting them in Ben's pockets. It is the very first rocks of Ben's rock collection. Jonathan already has a HUGE box of rocks, so he is very excited to help Ben start his own collection too! I love what a loving and helping big brother J is...and Ben just cracks me up!
