I ♥ Faces~ Beach Week

This week over at I ♥ Faces, the theme is Beach Photos...I lost alot of my photos from our Cape House Beach but this one of Jojo is one of my favorites. She is a fish in the water!

Be sure to join in the fun!!

Happy Jojo

Some of my best pictures of Jojo are taken in water. She adores the water and swimming and that's why I think she is always so happy! This was taken today at my mom's house. We had an impromptu cookout!

Mostly Wordless Wednesday~ Jojo

This past sunday we took the kids to the Air Show near our house and since Jojo is always so inclined to not spend time with us doing that kind of stuff, she was invited to go to the American Girl Doll Store with my mom and my sister and her cousins. Auntie Dayna had not bought her a birthday gift back last September with a promise to get her something at the store and they finally made plans to go! So here if Jo with Mia ( her doll she got for her birthday last year) and Mia's rockin' new skater outfit complete with skateboard!!

Jocelyn had spent last weekend with her Nana and Papa and found this hat at their house.

It belonged to my Papa ( her great Papa) and she wanted to wear it! So cute!!

Here are my entries !!!

This is my cousin Michelle... in one of her favorite hats!! I have so many pictures of her before she passed away and everything I learned about photography I learned from her!!

This is one of my favorite photos of Jocelyn. It was the first weekend with my new zoom lens and I enjoyed playing around with it. It isn't the best pic I have taken but I love that its a bit fuzzy!
