Magnolia Kids 2009

i decided to take the annual magnolia tree pictures today. the blossoms aren't all the way open but i feared that with the windy/rainy weather that was a-comin' that we would lose the flowers this weekend. (that is the one thing about magnolias, their blossoms can be so fragile!) so out to the tree we went!

first up was bean...

smelling the flowers
(i can't even tell you how much i love this shot. there simply isn't words for it!!)

hanging out in the tree.

when daddy got home the kids both got to climb the tree!

then sprout had his turn.
(he wasn't interested in smelling the flowers for mommy.... wasn't much interested at all!)

but we did finally get a smile out of him!

now i don't have to worry. the pictures are taken.... although i can see myself taking more if the blossoms survive. what can i say, i'm nutty like that! ;)
