Some Summer Fun-Vacation Pics!

We spent a week at the beach.  It was a good time.  The kids and the hubby seemed to have the most fun!  I took some pictures but, learned a great deal about temperature variations--like don't turn the thermostat down to 72 at the beach.  I think my camera got really angry with me because it fogged up and I couldn't get very many scenic shots which really frustrated me.  growl.

Okay so here are some cute one that I like. Okay so there are a LOT that I like. Scroll all the way to the bottom or you might actually miss some of the better shots.

The pictures of the grown ups.  

The Kids!

Walks on the beach:

What to do during a rainstorm?  Picture Time!

Some shots of down time:

The Scenic shots--wanted more to share but, have lots in my mind.

The man that I love most in the world.  The one that I would do anything for and will love for eternity. My favorite being.

The kids last night--:o)

We had a lot of fun and we enjoyed as much of the time together as we could.  The dinners were all really yummy and the company was really really good.  This time I spent as much time as I could doing instead of shooting.  Figured I needed some experience more than pictures.  My favorite memory. Boogie boarding in the storm waves with my husbear and the in-laws.  I remember thinking how nice it would have been to take pics of the gang in the waves--but my waterproof cam was dead. :o(

What Scarborough Looks Like On an Ordinary Day

Just some cool shots of our afternoon together.  I love my summer days with my kids.  They give me inspiration and joy.  They also make my struggle to be a better and more connected parent.  Either way, today was full of sweetness.  Here are the pictures of my creaturas.

Proof that they can play peacefully:o)

My best work so far.  

So far so good.  Great little people to grow.

Notice the brown pool water?  Guess who did that.

WATERMELON!!!! 

Okay so Pink didn't have watermelon in the shot but, I promise she ate plenty.  I had so much fun playing with my babies today.

Blessings from the Scarborough House ♥

Waterpark Fun!

We finally made it out to Schlitterbahn yesterday!  This is fabulous because it is supposed to be rainy for the remainder of the week here in southeast Texas.  It is not raining in my neighborhood but, from what I understand it is raining everywhere else.  I guess this is okay--I don't like floodwaters.

Back to the matter at hand.  My kiddos and I went with their Granny and cousin to the waterpark!  Lots of fun and really a nice time.  Everything was very expensive to buy there.  The really great thing is that they allow you to bring in coolers of food and drinks.  This is really the way to go.

Now I have to plan to take the kids again so that they can use their summer pass before it expires.  Once a week for the next few weeks?  Maybe--it costs me a whopping $40 every time because I don't have a season pass.

Some cutie patooties in the water.  I love my water proof camera but, I missed my big baby for the quick shots.

This was the best I could get with the slower processor but, I still like the memories that they give me.  My kids are all getting so big and grown.  I love to look at pictures and see them in action.  Just love it!  It makes me so happy to think I am raising these particular children.  My sister reminds me often how lucky I am to have three kids--I know she is right about that.

Growing Up

I haven't been photo journaling much lately but, I will again soon.  I took a few snaps of my kids on the last day of June.  I like everyday photos not just special occasion photos.  I also think, that I might like my lower zoom lens for home pictures but, anyway.

I really felt emotional when I saw this one.  Nothing much to it.  But, it is my son being himself -- thinking about something that is important to him.  I hope that I give him the tools to be happy and that I don't fail him when he really needs me.  He is growing up so fast for me.  I feel as though the last two years with him have just slipped through my fingers. 

He and I are very close lately. We have been very patient with each other lately; it is very nice. I ♥ Beef Jerky.  He is the best tickler and cuddler.  He is always makes me smile when he talks and tells me about his cool Lego creations.  I also get daily face melting updates (inside family joke). I like to hear him squeal with delight (outside).  I love that he invites me to the movies too.  He is a romantic. 

This moment will never happen again, and I may have intruded on something private. But, at least, when he sees this he will know I was there and never left his side. I am paying attention to him as much as the other two.
