overheard

Teagan Jude has been on a roll here lately.

A few days ago he ran up to me, hugged the belly and said “This is so great Mommy, hugging you is 2 for 1!” I pretty much melted right there. I adore how much the kids love their baby brother already. They talk to him and tell him daily, especially Teagan.
Yesterday we stopped at Target and I wanted to purchase a few nursing tanks. As we headed to that department Teagan yells out at the highest decibel known to 4 year olds, “OH! We are in the BOOOOOOOB department!!!”. Thank the Lord I’d sent Ty off in search of something else for me, he would have been mortified. Taryn and I, […]

boots, belly & curls | cedar park texas maternity & family photographer

Boots, belly and curls?! Yes please! I love hanging out with this family. We channeled their last maternity session, just a little bit. The sweet baby boy in that bump was a dream to photograph, I can’t wait to come back and share their newborn session!

overheard

We have been without cable for a few years now. I miss being able to watch football. A lot. With the Saints preseason starting in just one week, I’ve been smoozing my husband in an attempt to sign up for Direct TV while they have a special for a free NFL Ticket. I *think* it might be working. Funny how it is somehow easier for him to say yes to things when I’m in the 3rd trimester in miserable Texas heat. Unfortunately for Ty, my yes mechanism seems to be broken.

Ty: Can I have a cable box in my room?
Me: NO. NO. Uh, NO. Not on your life. The first time you will have cable in your room is when […]

f-u-n | austin family photographer

I spent my morning hanging out with one of the most fun families in Austin. These two little boys had so much energy and so much personality, I could have photographed them all day long! They ran and explored and climbed hills, spotted minnows in the pond and even hit the splash pad when we were done. It was an adventure for sure. I think the top image is my favorite of the day. Little man was peeking over the edge to look for minnows when he turned to look right at me, I just love it. Thanks for adventure this morning C Family, I had a blast!!

the olympics | homeschool | iphoneography

We are so excited about the Olympics this year. I am ready to plant my butt in the AC and watch as many events as I possibly can. In order to accomplish this level of do nothingness, I needed to get the kids excited about the Olympics too. Insert learning moment. This is what I love about homeschool, we can create a lesson on just about anything. So we did just that!

This is all just totally thrown together and not even super organized, but it has been fun. And now the kids are all excited for opening ceremonies tonight, score!

I started off by downloading this free pdf that explains what the Olympics are, the history, the meaning, the basics. […]
