I desperately need a new profile photo for my about me section on my new website (it is almost done – yay!) and it was at the top of my to-do list for this weekend. I really wanted to avoid the traditional headshot because I feel pretty uncomfortable on the other side of the camera. I decided it would be much more fun and reflective of ‘me’ to have a few family photos…..and that’s when it hit me……let’s do photo booth pics! Sooooo us. Silly, goofy & spontaneous! We had a blast! Ty and I set it up in the garage and we all took turns taking pics of each other. Here are a few of my favorites…..now I just […]

hickey boy returns

jason is one of the funniest people i have ever met. when other people meet him, he reserved, quiet and it can take him some time to warm up and really let others see his sense of humor. i’m so thankful i’m am subjected to it daily……

one time when taryn was around 6 or 7 months old, jase was playing around and decided to attach one of her toys to his head to make her laugh. it was a giraffe and was hollow with a whole in the bottom, easy enough to suction onto your forehead. he was dubbed hickey boy for awhile and took a lot of grief over it….admitedly, most of it came from me. uhm, can you […]

After a long morning, it was (((finally))) naptime. After quite a bit of encouraging I shuffled Taryn in to her room to lay down….

Taryn: Mom, you NEED to read me a book.

Mom: Taryn, it’s not nice to tell mommy what to do. You should ask nicely.

Taryn: But you NEED to read me a book RIGHT NOW.

Mom: Taryn, I’m not going to read you a book unless you can ask politely. It makes mommy sad when you talk to me that way.

Taryn: OH! Well then I will give you a hug.

((((Insert big, squeezin’ filled with love hug here))))

Taryn: Oh mommy, I will help you feel better….((((she rubs my cheek and smiles up at me with her big blue eyes))))….are you happy […]

lovey

Over the last several days Teagan has been showing signs of having a new lovey. He’s 100% a blankie boy and it goes everywhere with him. If we happen to pick him up and leave the blankie on the floor those legs start kicking and he arches his back until you bend over and pick up the blankie. Blankie is serious stuff. It’s a must when he’s tired or ready to nurse. But, over the last few days he’s added a dog to his blankie fix. Just to be totally clear, blankie is still numero uno. I was taking a few pics of the kids this morning….

and thought I’d catch […]

she really isn’t a morning person. she usually wakes up with random complaints and voices them ((loudly)) before anyone even has a chance for their feet to hit the floor. our auto response is “good morning taryn, how did you sleep?” or “good morning taryn, how are you?” which always results in a blank “how dare you interrupt me in the middle of my issue with such chipperness” stare. i’m hoping she’ll grow out of it. ty’s not much of a morning person either, but has gotten better through the years. she’s also been on a food strike and has lost 3 lbs. there are days for our own peace […]
