Perfect Evening

Let's see those teeth! I think I was hearing, "CHEEEEESE" in this picture.

I love Spring. I love Fall too. I love all seasons when it is time for them to arrive, but I think the transitions of Spring and Fall are the best since they usually don't stay around very long so I think that makes them that much more special.

Last night was a perfect evening. The weather was warm, but not windy and the kids were in a good mood. The grass is green, my new potted flowers are still alive and everything just felt comfortable. I asked Ella and Hayden if they wanted to go ride their bikes out front. They immediately went looking for shoes and we grabbed their gear. I thought this would be a great time to pull out the camera and work with it again. There must be something about Ella's green and blue dress because I notice I take pictures every time she is wearing it. My apologies. She does have other clothing and I promise it is clean! :)
I don't really think this picture looks like Ella because that isn't how she typically smiles, but I just love how her hair is messy and she looks so cool and kid like. My favorite thing about the picture though.......the bark on the tree. LOL! I love how the lens blurred the background trees, but caught the front tree and Ella so clearly. Neat.
Just my little guy having a great time! Hayden is quite the character and hard to photograph since he always has some crazy expression on his face.
