Our Four Year Old | Easter

Personal

15 Apr

Our boy is ALMOST five!!! (HOW does this HAPPEN???) So, this week I dedicated a little mini-session to capturing him while he’s still officially FOUR YEARS OLD! Suuuuure I have many, many photos throughout his fourth year, but none that were specifically a “photo session”. And so, here you have it. I ran across this shirt at Target back in January or so, and thought how PERFECT it would photograph on my little red-head!!! Yes, I think long and hard about clothes purchases for him; I have to make sure they will photograph well! LOL (Confessions of a photographer mom.) Next… I sporadically ran across this AWESOME location and sought out the landowners via my family in the area (thank you all!!!). I’m so thankful for God’s beautiful creation; even if wisteria is a nuisance, invasive species of plant. It’s beautiful and IT. SMELLS. SO. GOOD!!! Being honest again here… it took probably about 1,345 frames to capture these few pictures of him, but it was soooo worth the shutter actuations! 😉 (only kidding on that number, but it was a lot!) I was pretty much having to play simon says with him. “Simon says, ‘look at the road’. Simon says, ‘make donkey noises’. Simon says, ‘look at the camera’. ‘Make donkey noises at the camera.’ HAHAHA” Ok, ok. You get the drift. I don’t care what anyone says, photographing children is the hardest thing to do EVAH. Oh… and I even let him transform himself into his favorite ninja turtle characters for a few pictures if he promised “to do pictures for mommy”! 😉 Enjoy all the cuteness below; cuteness overload!

🌻🍉 Summer Photo Dump 6 🍉🌻

Mid-July we got the family together out on the river! We got all set up on a sandbar for the day, to be able to just chill- have a picnic and let the littles play their hearts out. Well… that was our hopes at least. 🤦‍♀️🫠 About an hour later, ALLLLL the boats showed up (group of friends) and just beached it right where we were swimming with the kids. I will never understand this… I am just of the mindset if you missed out on the sandbar, you missed out. Not… “well, we’ll just squeeze right in here on top of y’all.” But whatever. 😵‍💫 AmIright? Is that not the unwritten, understood law of the river rats? 🤣

Beach days are the best days!!! We were able to make 2 different day trips to the coast this summer. 

1. We are thankful for sweet friends who allow us to crash their family camping vacation for a day! 🤣 

2. And we are thankful for another group who are willing to up and haul their families to the coast for a day, too! 🤗

Two of my fellow Clemson forestry/ wildlife pals and I managed to take that girls’ trip we had been chatting about for a while! It was so good for the soul!!! We went owling at night, and just looking for all the critters we could find. 😁

Our old-soul, mancub hit a milestone birthday this summer. So, as an early birthday present, we hesitantly (😅) decided to take him and a friend to a Hank Jr. concert, since they are both big fans. Our thought process: “Hank Jr. is old now… sure his music is timeless, but it’s bound to draw an older, more calm crowd nowadays.” NOPE. 😆🥴 

The trip morphed into a group trip with the friend’s parents and sister, and my dad joined us, too! All was well until a thunderstorm sent everyone to the concessions area where we were packed in like sardines for TWO HOURS to avoid the lightening and rain best we could. 😳 Well, you can only imagine most people there had only one thing to do during the two hour wait, so that by the time we could return to our seats, it was quite the scene. 🙈 Our sweet, sheltered homeschooled children were awakened to some of the ways of the world that night, for sure. 🤣🥴 Gracious!!! 

But alas, Hank came out on stage and was GREAT, even still as an older man in his 70’s. He played alllll the instruments, and even still could throw his leg up on the piano! 🤣😳

The boys ended their first year of fishing for PAC last April in 10th place; which was amazing for them! They overcame many obstacles and learned to fish better as partners. This particular tournament happened to fall on Jason’s birthday (he’s their boat captain), so our friends camping close-by helped him celebrate. 🤣😁

(We enjoyed it to the fullest and it FLEW by; so, slowing down to make posts didn’t happen. I don’t even know how it’s almost September. 🥴)

In April, we ventured to Beaufort with my family to see the Blue Angels in action. 🤩 They were awesome to see in person!
