My family is close. Literally. My mom and dad and brother and his wife and nieces and uncle and aunt and dar dar (grandmother) and paw paw all live close enough to hit each others rock with a house if they have a decent throwing arm. It’s not just a family, it’s a community, a tribe even. Yes… the sometimes crazy, but always loyal Davis/Stevenson/Taylor tribe. So  when I’m at my parents if I want to see my nieces or my uncle or my paw paw, I just kindly stroll across the yard barefoot and walk on in…because we don’t wear shoes, and we don’t always knock in the DST tribe either.

So the littlest member of our tribe recently turned 6 months old, and to celebrate the occasion we had a little family photo shoot. Sweet Ari even wore my bikini from when I was a baby, I was obviously very fashionable as a wee one. That bikini is simply timeless.

The pics are mostly of my brother and my sister-in-love and their 3 little ones. I did catch my dad in one but I’m not in them….well because I’m taking them and my mom isn’t because she’s working her magic behind the camera to get those smiles.

no. I am not that entertaining. that was all her.

And my baby niece such a sweet little cupcake muffin chunk! I just die.
I could eat her. for real.
