We spent the afternoon today at one of my favorite places in the world- Descanso Gardens! Hoping to get a good family picture while we were there, we went with the matching outfits.
This picture cracks me up. Addie is having an attitude, Scott is lovin' life.
Roses in bloom, poppies in bloom, temps in the low 80's- it was the perfect day for the gardens!
Greg plays with the kids on the "Great Lawn."
"Hey! Look what I found!"
Just cute.
And let me introduce you to Skinny Greg. He has lost 20 pounds since the new year!
I love these pics of me and Scotty!
My new favorite picture.
Greg and Addie ride the train. Look at that excited wave!
She blew kisses as they went past- what a girl!
Addie took this picture of Greg and I.
We were really enjoying watching her try to take the picture, so Greg snuck out his phone and snapped a shot of Addie the photographer.
Several people walked by and got quite a kick out of the cute little girl photographer. One set of ladies even passed us hours later and said "Oh look, the photographer!"
Here she is with the "wowo plant." This plant had very soft leaves, that she said felt just like her wowo (which is the Spangler word for our kids' lovies).
Though we were a little late in the season, there were still some lilacs in bloom. Thank goodness! This is the highlight of my trip to Descanso.
Dipping Addie down to smell a lilac.
Addie was asked to give me a LITTLE kiss and I got this instead. Can you tell I'm not sure what to do here?
End of the day and Scott fell asleep in my arms. Carrying this little load out to the car and the aching arms was well worth the sweetness.
Back at home- Scott using Greg as something to grab onto and stand up. He was slapping Greg happily and drooling all over him!
Addie has had one haircut in her whole life- until this morning. I was feeling very brave... and away we went!
snip, snip, snip
And the finished product! It came out pretty good!
We think she looks shockingly older now. And we don't love it. We both had to catch our breath a little bit.
