Easter Dresses and Fire Ants

My good friend Kat send the girls Easter dresses this year. The looked so beautiful all dressed in white that I decided it was time for a photo shoot. I had wanted to get pictures of the kids with the Texas BlueBonnet Flowers, but sadly we waited too long and they were all but gone. We drove around for quite some time and finally found this beautiful stop all covered in wildflowers.  Even though they weren't Bluebonnets we were excited... until...





the attack of the Fire Ants. Everywhere we moved they were there waiting and by the time we left only Colin was pain free. Poor Caitlyn received the worst of it. (Notice she was not pictured alone at the end.) Mark kept laughing at the efforts I was willing to go through in order to get a few good shots, but though the girls had to strip down and Colin had to take off his shirt and under shirt to provide non-infested clothing, I still think the pictures turned out good. For those of you who are worried the bites will heal in about 3 weeks. Ü

Totally worth it though!!! They look so adorable! and I get that feeling sometimes, where you have been waiting and you just need the good picture NOW... I love you and miss you and appreciate the horrors and wars you endured for the cute pics... on the upside, they really are gorgeous photos! LOVE YOU
