Summer Randomness: Part Two

I just love this photo of Ella. Notice her feet are off the pedals. She started in the garage, pedaled really fast and rode into the grass.

A very typical scene at our house in the summer...playing in the sandbox! This was seriously the best use of this random little space between the garage and the sidewalk.


The girls came in one day with their helmets on and told me to get my camera. I had no idea what they were up to. But they wanted me to take pictures of them driving in their "car". Isn't this cute? It's hard to see, but notice the wheels they drew on the side of the box.



Another favorite summer activity is coloring on the driveway and sidewalk with chalk. Here's a little slideshow of one of Ella's creations.

Doesn't she looked thrilled to have me taking photos of her? To explain her creation a little bit...The yellow part in the middle is an octopus (there's eight legs) and I believe that's water around it, in some sort of vehicle. That's all I could get out of her though. :-)

When Daddy is in charge, random stuff comes up out of the basement and the girls have a blast. Here they are being rock stars! It looks like Ella is channeling Stevie Wonder here.


Wonder what the girls are looking at in this store in the photo below?

I'll give you a clue....

Still don't know...Well it's this!

Now I'm sure you're totally confused about why I have a scrapbook page with a random child on it on our blog. What's the big deal about this? Well, I'll tell you! This is a scrapbook page that can be found in EVERY Archivers store in existence. And the photos of Miss Claire were taken by ME!!! I have photos hanging is every Archivers store!! Isn't that awesome! This is my friend Kelly's little girl and I took the photos last February or March. Kelly works at Archivers headquarters and employees can turn in photos for the marketing people to use when they create samples in the store. I just took their family photos last month so I'm hoping Archivers will use more of them too! I get nothing out of this, they don't even have my studio name (Lily Bella Photography) anywhere on them. It's just exciting to have them up for all kinds of people to see!
