Phone/ipad pictures!

I really don't like taking pictures with my phone and ipad....especially if I end up with a good one! I very much prefer my nice camera and the nice quality that it gives me, but sometimes it's not always right there. So, I have to resort to the ipad or iphone! These are some of the pictures that I had on my phone from the last few months...

OF COURSE the best of the pictures i took wasn't with my camera...it was with the iphone

tennis lessons!  e has had 4 weeks of tennis lessons, and he loves them!  i was really impressed with  the class.  the 3 teachers keep all 13 kids under control and teach them lots of great tennis skills.  on the first day, they already had the kids learning forehand and backhand

super blurry phone picture.  but, this was my entertainment one day while running on the treadmill!  evan was such a trooper reading gracie book after book

and THIS is what happens when you trust that your nearly 4 year old is telling you the truth when he says he wants to ride his bike in the garage while you unload the groceries.

i'm very grateful that gracie has a hard head like me!  she wears her hair up in a pony every day, and this day, she actually sat while i attempted to french braid it.  her hair is really silky, so it was not an easy task!

the french braid end result.  clearly i need a little more practice!!

the day that gracie woke up with a fever.  she was seriously struggling to take a breath, so we all headed into the dr.  unfortunately, that visit ended up with a chest xray for possible pneumonia.  luckily the xray was clear!  after some antibiotics for the ear infection and a few breathing treatments, her breathing and attitude were a lot better!  its a good thing too because i ended up carrying her in sling all day that day while she dozed off and on (she screamed hysterically if i even attempted to set her down), and i don't think i could have done more than one day!  AND, now we know that the antibiotics that she took for her ear infection caused a beautiful yeast diaper rash.  it took 1 week to figure out what it was, and we are going on 2 weeks of treatment to get rid of it

gracie the day AFTER the chest xray because she was using her whole body to take a small breath.  MUCH better!

the 3 monsters!
