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 […]

“this guy over here is violating my personal space”…..

hahaha! out of nowhere he raised his little hand like this. funny little outtake.

i was all set to do 10 on tuesday today but ended up spending the better part of our day at the doctor with teagan. poor guy, he got poked and prodded and i just feel so bad for him. he just can’t seem to catch a break, it’s been one thing after another since he was born. i just want to cuddle him close and wish the pain away. i wish it worked that way. don’t all mommas? we’ll be seeing a specialist soon, and pray that it […]

flashback friday | austin photographer

I woke up this morning thinking I had nothing to blog about. Blah. The weather is blah, my mood is blah. My day has been filled with shuffling kids, cleaning house, and getting ready for a weekend of working. Then I realized, hey, it’s friday, I can do a flashback friday. And instead of digging through archives (I’m much too lazy to reach over and plug in my external drives after exerting so much energy cleaning all morning long….sad, but true….) I went looking through my blog posts from this date over the last two years. And guess what I found!?!? This post. Wow, has it only been a year? Our friendships have grown so much, so many laughs, […]

I haven’t photographed tortured taryn in a while and decided to try and snap a few of her this morning during teagan’s morning nap. When I said, “hey, let’s go take a few pics” she scowled, put her hands on her hips and said “will you give me some candy?”….I’ve ruined her. I brought candy and well, I’m not really inspired by anything I got. Just one of little miss attitude….check out that big toe and pointer finger.

I love it when she wears these jammies, so soft and cuddle inducing. She pretty much rules the roost around here lately. She keeps those boys in check. My friend Alli […]
