Mothers, of furry friends and children alike, are you ready to share your 5 favorite photos from April, May, and June (thus far)? Sarah, Ashley, and myself look forward to viewing your favorites and thank you for sharing your family with us.
If you're not sure what I am talking about scroll down to the bottom of this post to read all of the details and see the prizes that will be randomly given away.
I know the summer has just begun for many of you, but we have been experiencing warm weather for months so my post is full of water photos.
We have an aquarium pass, so we visit the aquarium on a regular basis. I rarely take photos during our visit, but we had friends visiting, so when Bennett sat down and began talking to the rays I began snapping away. I love that you can see his joyful expression. I actually took this photo the end of March (but it was after the the 1st Quarter posted), so I decided to include it in the second quarter.
Capturing an authentic natural smile is becoming more and more rare, so I simply treasure this photo of B playing in the sand box at the aquarium. Now a days, when he sees a camera, he either looks away or screams, "CHEESE," while squinting and looking up at the sky.
My husband has been throwing B up in the air since he was old enough to hold up his head ;) He still loves it and asks his daddy to do it over and over again.

While the white balance in this photo is a mess, I love B's expression and the activity captured is great description of B's daily explorations. Our grow boxes are void of plants (sadly, we lost our tomatoes and basil), but full of soil and B loves it. He likes to shovel the dirt into his tractor. Most of the time he wants to dump the dirt elsewhere, but we encourage him to keep dumping it back into the grow boxes.

Finger painting always seems to turn into body painting. I'll admit I encourage it. He seems to have more fun making a mess and painting himself, so I just plan for it. Here are more photos from our Front Porch Finger Painting.
