summer snapshots

Mommy's friend, Mrs. Kristen, took some pictures of us one late June morning.  Mommy doesn't have all the photographer tools to make the pictures look professional, but she wanted to take a few snapshots of us, too, in the same outfits.  We did great, and we actually enjoyed it! :)

Mommy loves how Brecken & Emmersyn are tilting their heads the same way in this shot :)

Same kids, but on our walkway rather than by our front door :)

Emmersyn holding Brady's hand...<3 

We aren't sure what Emmersyn is looking at, but Mommy loved all our laughing faces.

The background is our front yard (& driveway)

Laughing together...

Then, just a snuggly one!

Brecken Thomas

Emmersyn Faith

Her laugh is beautiful!

Same idea, but we moved to the backyard by the pool...

Another sweet picture of us hugging!

Mommy loved how blue Brecken's eyes were in this particular pic.  What a sweetie!

We actually had a fun taking these...and it took less than 20 minutes.  That was the best part.  Well, that...& laughing together!

father's day

There is no doubt about it...we sure LOVE our Daddy!  So, we were very happy to celebrate him on Father's Day!  What a gift we have in Daddy.  We are so thankful for the way he loves us, prays with us, and wrestles us.  He's so much fun, and he makes us laugh a lot!  We are grateful for our Daddy.

He chose his whole day.  After church, we enjoyed the rest of day at home.  We gave Daddy cards & gifts, enjoyed yummy food, and then swam and played a lot!!  Such a fun day with our Daddy!

Emmersyn was so excited that she could stand on Daddy's shoulders...

...& float backwards!

Mommy & Emmersyn enjoyed watching our game poolside.

Emmersyn loved the alligator...

...& swimming underwater! ;)

Another activity we love to do with Daddy in the pool is having him throw us in the air, usually flipping us, and landing in the water.  So many laughs!!

And, my turn

I also love standing on my Daddy's shoulders, too!

What a fun day celebrating Daddy.  Oh, how we love him so!

Happy Father's Day to our Daddy!
