Sunflower Festival

 I blogged about the sunflower festival last year. It is one of my favorite festivals in a land of never-ending festivals!  The weather has finally turned from cool and rainy all the time to mostly sunny and a little warmer, and it was a gorgeous day to see the sunflowers.
 This year, Tommy was unexpectedly here to share it with us, and we were excited to show him the sunflower fields.  Wyatt especially remembered our trip last year and had a good time showing daddy the fields.
 Wyatt thought it would be fun to stand like a statue.  Olivia didn't see it as quite that much fun.
 As a general rule, sunflowers are not my favorite flower.  But there's something about these sunflower fields...  I think I could take pictures of these sunflowers all day!
 Wyatt is in his "I'm not going to smile nicely" stage right now.  He likes to squint his eyes or close them altogether and give me a cheesy look.  I have definitely noticed him growing more out of the "little" boy stage and into the "boy" stage lately. :(




This photo sequence of Olivia cracks me up.  She is starting to look like a little girl, and she certainly has her own little personality. These pictures exemplify her attitude toward life this far, from what I can observe - grab it and stick your face in it full force, but make sure you look cute doing it!!  She is my little firecracker!

How beautiful....the sunflowers AND the kids!! I've told you the story about how we used to have to PULL the sunflowers out of the bean fields right?? I do think they are pretty now, but it took a lot of years....
