i havn't had my camera out for ages now. sure, it's been used around the house … lots in fact. but i havn't taken my camera outside for photos in about 2 months now. and these happened so randomly.

i was putting up the girls hair for soccer practice (yes, you read right … indoor soccer now) … and then haley got a hold of the spray bottle and got her hair soaking wet. then she started spraying water all over the house. so i distracted her by pulling her hair up in a little pony. then i realized how cute it looked up and out of her face. and the girls had just left for soccer … and nikolas was taking his second nap. so i took haley in the backyard for a few pictures.

she seriously gave me about 45 seconds of her time … and then decided she was done with me. she was too busy playing in the playhouse … and peeking at the dog next door through the fence … and going down the slide. but i kept following her around … and managed to sneak in a few more pics here and there. we were out there all of about 15 minutes before her mom came to pick her up. but i guess that's all i really needed!

i love this next one … even if she was standing up when i snapped the picture! she just didn't want to sit still … and was so anxious to be done. and she thought it was the funniest thing. i kept saying "haley, can't i have one more picture?" … and she would very matter of factly tell me "no". can you tell who is the boss around here?!?! lol! the coloring is off some … but i love her smile!

    Hey you got 45 seconds which is more than I get sometimes when I take out the camera. Either that or they are so on the move that it is all a blur on the camera.
    She is a cutie- you did get some great shots!
