Where the Bluebonnets Grow

One of my favorite things when I lived in San Marcos, Texas was to make the drive back to Texarkana in the spring and see the bluebonnets that lined the roadways. Ever since Riley was a baby, I've been planning a roadtrip to get pictures of her in the bluebonnets. You see, they don't grow around Texarkana and I have to drive at least an hour away to see them. We finally had a free weekend and went to visit some family and friends in Burleson, Texas. We found an amazing field of blubonnets.... but we had 2 very uncooperative children. I didn't get a single good photo of Riley because she threw an epic tantrum.



And this is the only photo I got of her cousin, Clayton.


But, I was able to get some photos of my beautiful friend Aimee and her adorable son.


I guess we'll try again next year. Hopefully Riley & Clayton will be a little more cooperative by then.

The Traveling Tutu

I participated in a group on Flickr called "Me, You and the Traveling Tutu." Photographers signed up and the tutu has been making its way down the list. What luck that I got the tutu the week before Valentine's Day!

This is my little stinker. She was less than thrilled about wearing the tutu, but I'm not above a little bribery.




And here's my darling cousin, Indie. She didn't protest about the tutu, too much.



I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the journey of the Traveling Tutu.
