my oldest {5 years}
5 years!!! For a few weeks now I’ve been trying to get Biggest Brother out to get his 5 year pics…he wants to head downtown Tulsa, but we just never seem to be able to make it down there. We usually do birthday pictures with sign showing the age, but I forgot it so we’ll have to do those downtown later. I convinced him to go for a walk to a nearby concrete company for some pics. I drive by it all the time and have always wanted to shoot around the site. It is actually shocking that he did a normal smile, it is usually a goofy grin. He also wore his holey jeans to show off his scabbed knee – such pride in flesh wounds!
Every night he prays for all the kids in the world who don’t have mommies and daddies. Last night he prayed, “God – all the kids who don’t have a mommy or daddy, will you please give them a mommy and a daddy. BUT save one little girl so I can ask her if she wants to be a part of our family and if I can be her big brother.” Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE BEING A MOM!
PHOTO TIP: Cool places can look really ugly until you get behind your camera (that is a funny sounding tip!) To demonstrate, I thought I’d share some wide angle shots of where we were at to give you a better idea of the setting.
The view from the street that compelled me to go explore with a handsome boy and a camera
Our first location…a pile of rusty containers. Funny that his shirt says “Be cute and don’t pollute” with this as a setting…
Spot two: a pile of metal beams
And naturally if you are a five year old boy and you see an old tractor you must show off your muscles and your mad jumping karate skills
