That tongue. He kills me. It’s his new *thing*. And he’s very ticklish. Especially on his sides and his back. He often cracks up laughing through his chiropractic adjustments. You can pinch those chubby little thighs and he’ll let out a big belly laugh. It’s my favorite.
This was soooooo freaking cool! I promised Ty 6 weeks ago that if he brought up his grades that I’d bring him to indoor skydiving at iFly, which just opened in Austin. He did bring up his grades and today was the day! He looked super nervous before he jumped in the tunnel. He absolutely loooooved it! And his momma is much more comfortable with this compared to him jumping out of an actual airplane! He did 2 jumps today and we will be going back for more. Duder is definitely in for the next round and Miss Taryn is a strong “maybe”. I’m pretty sure it’s going to be […]
9 hours.
5 kids and me.
Go Carts.
The Claw Game and winning 9 (!!!!) bunnies.
Air Hockey.
Passing out quarters for games in abundance.
Crazy long day….but worth every minute to see my kids have a blast today.
Lately, I haven’t been feeling like I’m a very fun mom.
Today I felt fun. And we had fun.
Tomorrow?
Indoor skydiving.
Boring mom, be gone during spring break!
I’m trying to do better about getting on the other side of the camera. I realized last Wednesday that I haven’t done that a whole lot with the good camera. Since Ty was home on early release that day, I handed him the camera, cuddled up to my baby boy and less than 5 minutes later I had these. Ty did awesome. And even when I’m super critical of myself, I know that when Jonah looks at these, he will see his momma who loves him.

I spent my day editing and then Ty and I hit the gym together this afternoon. Jase took the little kids to the park to burn off some energy. Much needed outside time as it’s been really windy and/or raining for a few days. Jonah got to go in the swing at our neighborhood park for the first time. I’m pretty sure he liked it. My big boy is growing way too fast.
Doing a session for another photographer and their family, while a bit unnerving, is also one of my absolute favorite things to do! And I’m in love with photographing teenagers, so I was in heaven during this session with Jenna and her beautiful family. She mentioned to me that this might likely be their last full on family session before the oldest is out of the house and off to college. Wow, what a responsibility placed upon me to capture them as they are right now, before so much change happens. And I’m reminded, again, of how quickly times flies. Their […]
