ABC's and other things

I joined a project on Facebook called Photo 52. Each week is a letter of the alphabet and we will go through it twice. I have been good (so far) about participating!





I am so very in love with the next two photos. They bring me peace in my heart. (which is VERY needed some days!)



I did a V-day shoot with Bubba before the snow, I can't decide if I like sissy's better with the snow or his with out. Either way, I love these!


I love this comparison shot of my baby boy. Who by theway is the sweetest most perfect baby on the planet.


Ty turned three months on Saturday so I did a little 3 month shoot. :)


It was abnormally warm around these parts last week, so the kids and I ventured outside to play! Bubba loved it!
Gah, how did he get so big?!?! It seriously feels like it happens over nght!



Then the next day it was too cold to go out so I brought the snow in!


I'll leave you all with this little treat! I couldnt of planned it if I tried.

Tiny Love

I love you sweet sweet boy. Every square inch of you.




Sissy shared her bear with baby Ty




What a perfect addition you have been to our family

18 months

I will get back to updating but I had to post these bath photos of my second born! Tomorrow he turns 18 months already!!

My baby turned 3!

October 10, 2008 was the day I became a mother. The day that would change my world forever. The day I learned what REAL love is. The day my life really began. I love you Ella Ann!

First Birthday photo shoot. I love looking back at my photo skillz. ha ha

2nd Birthday

3rd Birthday. My oh my, where did this big girl come from?!


She had a pretty low key party. A few friends, a cake, and some family. Perfect. and she is such a special girl she got to have a party with her playgroup friends too!

How did we go from this

to this!? so quickly!



Ok, enough reminiscing, on to the party pics!


Her cake came all the way from IN! It was an import. :)


Her BFF!

Me and my babies! I had no idea that baby Ty would join us just one week after this photo was taken!


ha ha, Bubba

Cupcakes, yum!




A few playgroup friends!

And school friends!


Ella, my love,
You are sweet, sensitive, kind, giving, sometimes sassy(and you tell us when you are sassy), and mostly just a joy to have in our lives. Every night you go to bed your daddy and I talk about what an amazing kid you are. When you wake up you peak out of your room and ask "is it morning for me yet?". You ask if you can have candy on a daily basis and its always "I may have this, yes or no?" :insert head tilt: You love your brothers to the moon and back and you will put your arm around Jeff and say "come on Jeffrey, lets go play". You tell me a hundred times a day " mommy, i love you". You are obsessed with all things small and stuffed. You will pick up a tiny stuffed animal and say "but i love it SO much, I may sleep with him?" You are all things music too! The other day you sang me a song and told me you learned it from your radio. You amaze me little girl. I love you so.

Let's back up, shall we? Jeff's 1st birthday!

I missed some big milestones when I jumped back into posting. My first son turned 1 SIX months ago! OMG! How did this happen?!
We planned to have his birthday party and his Baptism in the same weekend so that family from out of town could attend both big events. We had people in from WI, IN, NY, WA, and, AZ! Pretty amazing. :)
I'll let the photos tell the story of the weekend.

Ella and Grandpa Jeff




Birthday boy

His new face

So many loved ones

My amazing friend, whom I have NO pictures with came over the day before the party and decorated for us. Love her.

You've got some cheese on your chin. ;)


My beautiful step-mom from Seattle, my Aunt from AZ, my Aunt from IN, and my Gram from IN.

Playing before the party

The cousins loved the play house




Our fam of 4.5- I was 21 weeks pregnant




"Aunt" Katie from WI


Waiting to open his gifts!


Grandpa being a pest. haha




This just makes me laugh



I swear we just did this with Ella! (her 3rd bday post will be tomorrow)



He wasn't really into the cupcake

bored

Let's see what I can remember about Jeffy when he was one.
He crawled like a champ and said da da when he wanted. He had just learned to wave and blow kisses. He was 25lbs as much as his sister. :) He still wasn't sleeping through the night and he was almost always in his big boy bed.
I love you sweet boy

I will save the baptism pics for another post.
