my niece turned 8 yesterday
and
to celebrate it right
everyone jumped for me
~with only a little begging~
including her grandparents
~~
seeing my parents and her other grandpa laughing and jumping and maybe even still talking
about the experience tomorrow
makes me so happy
*
life is just too short not to jump

just fyi...my niece doesn't wear glasses. these are just play glasses that are pink and super cool
and when you're eight, you get to do and wear whatever you want.
I want to be eight again.
How incredible is this, and so much fun. Every photo made me smile! wonderful to be with your family beth. they will talk about jumping for years. you really are an incredible woman. Take care.
ReplyDeleteWonderful series of images. Such happy joy!!!
ReplyDeleteHow amazing!! I agree with you completely... life is too short not to jump!!! I'm definitely talking my family into joining me for some fun photos next time we get together :)

Hooray...what fun! Looks like your niece--and all of you--had a great day! Everyone should jump around, skip, sing and play--no matter what age! :o)
ReplyDeleteWhatever it takes to make the memory last! What a fun way to ensure a smile if not a laugh for everyone :) Happy Birthday to your niece!

ReplyDeleteThese jump-shots make me smile so wide....so TOTALLY your signature thang...:)
ReplyDeleteAt any age - jump!
ReplyDeleteThis is classic. Every time I see someone jump I'll think of you snapping a photo. These make me smile. It looks like so much fun. I'm not sure I'd want to be 8 again though. Maybe 21 or 25.
ReplyDeleteLovely and wonderful and whimsical and impossible not to smile at.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your niece. Everytime I see a photot of someone jumping I think of you. I've got a great one of my son upside down in mid air on the trampoline...I'll have to post it in honour of you one day!

I started reading this post and was about to tell you that it was the best jump shot yet. And then. And then I got to the group shot with the grandparents. Oh, I do love your family!!
ReplyDeleteBeth my grandbabies were here for the week- I needed you here to take photos for me. I do really well with still shots- kids- still shots...LOL
ReplyDeleteif my family met up with your family for a jumping contest... no doubt in my mind...your family would win! :) these are fabulous! i am so impressed at how much energy and joy radiates from everyone your photograph!
ReplyDeletesometime you should think about making a video with all your jumping photos? :D

That totally made me smile...and I want to be 8 again too (ok- let's be honest- any age with 1 digit would be good)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this!!
ReplyDeleteSome people even look like they are dancing in some pictures!
How can that not bring the biggest smile to your face?!?!
