Homemade mosquito repellent don't keep no mosquitos away (correct grammar withheld)

OBU has some awesome spots on campus.  I love this old bridge. This one in particular is great both for picture taking and for allowing the kids to roam and explore.  Let me say first that this spot which is close to the river has monster mosquitoes.  Second, that the homemade version of vanilla extract and water that we made before (which mosquitoes supposedly hate) didn't work.  I don't know if these are mutant mosquitoes or what, but they seemed to just swarm us.

Hmm...I wonder how long my kids are going to get along like this.  Better enjoy it while I can!

My son and his cheesy, snaggle-tooth grin!

This was a perfect sibling picture.  Both looking at the camera and semi smiling.  I can count on two hands, maybe even one, how many pictures I have of the two of them looking AND smiling.  But it's blurry!  Grr...

Well, this got close. 

E will be 14 months this week and to me looks SO grown up in this picture.  Where did my little baby go!?!?!

OK...so this one?  This wan acheived a smile not by me saying, Zoe, smile for the camera.  No...this one acheived a smile by saying, "Zoe.  Don't you show me your teeth.  I don't want to see them."

This is one of my favorites.  Look at E's face.  He is terrified at the fact that Zoe is behind him pushing.  It's priceless. 

And again, "Zoe, I don't want to see those teeth of yours!  So don't show them to me, ok?  Excuse the wide open legs.  We haven't exactly msatered the art of being a lady yet.
