chimpers, busted.

I walked in on this scene this morning and immediately ran for *my* camera. While I love how they are posing for one another, I love more that they are chimping. I guess kids really do learn by example 😉

Duder got to skip nap today to go see Cars 2. By the end of the night, he just couldn’t hang through the rest of the bedtime story and crashed. Literally. He just couldn’t keep his eyes open for another second, rolled over on to the hard floor and fell asleep. I love these photos of him, totally wiped out from a full day of being a loud, busy, energetic little boy. Belly hanging out, toothpaste still on his mouth, a messy shirt from downing his nightly supplements, a total mess. If he keeps this up he’s going to land his own book, just like this one.
1. Summer if off to a great start already! I’m loving spending so much time with my kids!! Yes, after last year, we needed a healthy start to summer and we’ve had just that. So very thankful.
2. We had one week of no carpool, no transporting kids everywhere and then this week football camp started so we’re back it. I love it though. Busy!
3. And do you know what comes after football camp?! FOOTBALL! I’m SO ready this year, SO ready! The day football camp started I began working on my husband to get our cable turned back on. I’m determined to have as much football as possible in this house come fall. I have not missed […]
Sigh….my *baby* is 14. I’m so proud of the person he is. And yes, for the record, he’s taller than I am. And no, I don’t want to talk about it. Oh, and let me introduce you to Shelby! Shelby is Ty’s best girl and our family absolutely adores her. She’s a delight to have around, loves the little kids and never fails to make Ty laugh, we love her! I asked her to come along on the one photo shoot per year that I force Ty in to. I knew she could help me get him to relax for the camera and make him laugh. Worked like a charm, we all had a blast (while Ty normally only moderately […]

No exaggeration! Each image is 20×20 and the entire frame spans almost floor to ceiling. Yes, when I tell my clients it is better to *go big* I can put my money where my mouth is 😉
This project has been a few years in the making. We have this odd space in our foyer and it is the very first thing you see when you walk through our front door. We really struggled with what we wanted to put there. For a long time an art canvas hung there, it was art from Hawaii, where we got married. But it just didn’t fill the space right. I wanted something really *wow* […]
I have so many things to come blog about, updates on all of us, my and Taryn’s girls trip to New Orleans…just tons of updating. But I know if I don’t post this right now it will get lost in the shuffle.
Our sweet girl graduated from kindergarten this morning. It was so very bittersweet. She had a really rough start to her year. School started during some very dark times for our family as it was just a few months after Teagan’s vaccine reaction. We were in the midst of dealing with Taryn’s sensory issues and none of us could have anticipated just how hard the changes that school brought would be. That rough start makes me even more proud […]
