Day 23 - 40 Days of Blogging

A few weeks back, Zay had his Preschool pictures taken. I was so interested to see if he would listen to the photographer and smile (nicely) for her. I mean...he's used to getting his picture taken, obviously...but his listening skills when I attempt to take his picture aren't always the best. But looky-looky! He did great! As a matter of fact, doesn't he look like the perfect little posed child...haha! :)

Day 22 - 40 Days of Blogging

I'm a little late getting this post up...but our weekend was busy! As a matter of fact, I did TWO sessions on Sunday and below is a little sneak peek of those sessions! These sessions turned out great...now I have to edit the rest of their pics! :)

Meet Annie...all kinds of CUTE!

My friends Erin & Aaron...and their new little girl Annie!

Mark and Nikki are good friends with Aaron and Erin, so it worked out to take their maternity pictures while I was in town. Lots of fun working with them!

One of my favorite maternity pictures I've taken!

Day 21 - 40 Days of Blogging

Bailey...this poor little dog. She goes through a lot of trauma in a day. Kids chasing her. Kids pulling her hair. Kids teasing her with food. Or giving her too much food, so she's a tad overweight. She is well loved, but pays a heavy price for some of that love! ;)

No worries though, it seems she is repaying us for some of the trauma. Like last fall we had our first experience with fleas. Ick!! And now she seems to have some sort of bladder control issue. It's not bad, but the last couple days, I have found these random 'accidents' (thank goodness for hardwood floors!). They are super tiny, but still an issue! She also had an accident while laying in her dog bed, hence she is wet from a bath in this pic!

So anyway, I call the vet...who tells me to get a urine sample. Seriously? I ask how I'm supposed to go about this...seems as though I will be following our four-legged family member around with a pie tin to try to catch some urine. Nice.

On another note, anyone want to dog sit for us this weekend? Instructions are fairly simple. Just carry a pie tin and...oh nevermind! Haha! ;)

Love you, Bails!

Day 20 - 40 Days of Blogging

A little comparison...I thought it would be fun to look back at my kiddos and see how much they look alike. We get told all the time that they look a lot like each other! In some of these milestone pics I can see it, and others I think they don't look as much alike...? Granted, these pics are just the first ones I could find, so I could probably dig a little more and find pictures that really match expressions, etc! What do you think...do they look like brother and sister??? ;)

He makes cleaning up toys look cool!! ;)

Day 18 - 40 Days of Blogging

A little video...

Here is a video I made from Ellie's 18 month photo session. I'll be honest, some of these are straight out of the camera...but since my time is somewhat limited, I included them in the video anyway! I'm sure you will be forgiving! ;)

Day 17 - 40 Days of Blogging

Last Friday night, we had Jaymi & Erin over...and on Sunday we had Jill and Jennifer over with their families! That's 4 high school friends over to our house within 3 days! Amazing considering I just don't see that many high school friends that often! Lots of fun catching up with all these great ladies! :)


And then we were talking about back in our cheerleading days...we almost did a full extension...or basket toss...haha, maybe not! But it was funny to think back to those days when I was a flyer and they were the best 'bases' a girl could ask for! ;)

Day 16 - 40 Days of Blogging

Top 5 funnies from the last few days/weeks...these kids of mine, they sure do provide great content for Facebook posts and blog stories! Enjoy these!

1. Zay and I had a little prayer time this afternoon (after quite a meltdown and outburst involving his sister!) At the end he says..."Hey Mommy! Maybe you can pray to God and Jesus that they will help me become a weather man when I grow up too!" Okay...but let's work on not hitting your sister first!

2. Working out with kids is challenging...literally challenging! Thanks for the added intensity on the wall sit, Elle!

3. Not even joking...stuck in a car wash right now! Exit door wouldn't open, thankfully the girl behind me was the owner's son's girlfriend, so she said she would back up so I could exit from the entrance...totally didn't work and the door closed me in for another round of washing my car! Zay thinks this is great...Ellie on the other hand was terrified the first time around...now she is really scarred for life!#hopewemakeitoutalive #mycarisSUPERclean


4. "He's got the whole world in his hands" #playdoh #hewasntsupposedtomixthecolors


5. You mean to tell me that not everyone coordinates their outfits with their snacks?

Day 14 - 40 Days of Blogging

18 Month Pictures! 

Thought I'd share a few of Ellie's 18 month pictures! I posted a few on Facebook, but there are a lot more here...and I can't even promise that these will be the last! Sorry...you can skim through them fast if you'd like! ;) 






I just love this one for some reason...cute cute!


Ellie, you are a beautiful little girl and I am so happy you are MY little girl!


This really does describe Ellie in a nutshell! A little spunk, a little sweetness and lots of happiness!! :)

Love this one too...adorable.

Those eyes...



She loves her pup...and Bailey does what she is told. (Actually Bailey doesn't listen well anymore at all...but she will obey for food!)

Day 13 - 40 Days of Blogging

Yesterday we took a little trip to the Children's Museum! It seems like we make it there every so often, and Ellie is really to the age that she can really get into playing. However...this is spring break week so it was packed with kids!! So little missy pretty much stuck to me like glue...at least that made it easier to keep track of both kids! ;)


Zay's favorite area...the 'hospital/doctor's office". Do you think he's a little familiar with this type of thing? ;)

Ellie and I rode in the ambulance, while Zay drove us. He kept asking us where he should take us...THE HOSPITAL, Zay...the hospital! :)

Thought maybe she'd fall asleep after lunch, but she was too interested in all the other kids!




A picture with all the other moms and kids that we went with...we had a crew!

 Remember how I mentioned Ellie was attached to my hip the whole time. The one time she wandered around a bit, she lost track of where I was. I was watching her as she kept looking up at people as if she were asking 'are you my mommy?" Then she spotted me and was SO HAPPY! :)
