friends...

I had a great opportunity to catch up with an old friend and meet her little man this week.  She was in town for Thanksgiving and emailed to ask if I would be willing to take some pictures of her family... to which I replied... ABSOLUTELY.  Any chance to play with my camera and not have to force my kids to sit still sounds like a good time to me.  Her family is super adorable and I think they turned out pretty good...

 

I also had the chance to snap away some photos of another little man... You remember our buddy Baby Will...? 

Well he has done a little growing, and we had to drop the 'baby'....  he wasn't too happy to have his picture taken, but with a little bribery in the way of smarties, he was all mine.

Taking/editing photo's has taken up a great deal of time for me lately, but we have managed to move on from Thanksgiving and work into the Christmas season...  We have decor out and Christmas cards ordered, we just need to get some cookies in the oven.

Happy Thanksgiving...

We are hosting Thanksgiving festivities tomorrow with my family and Jerry's parents... it is bound to be a good time.  I have been working on some photos for our Christmas card so I will leave you with what the shutter caught today...

 

 

 

Not too many happy faces this morning, I guess I will try again tomorrow.  Maybe Papa Tim can get some smiles out of them.

I am gonna try and log in about 6 miles tomorrow morning so that I can indulge in all my favorite carb-heavy and sugary foods guilt-free.  Enjoy your turkey!

Brynlee...

This oh-so-adorable little girl lives in our 'hood... she has the brightest blue eyes, and the best smile.

 

 

 

Me and Wheelie

The other day Hut took a nap and of course Wheeler had already taken his- so we played... and played... and played.  When it is just me and one of the boys things are so peaceful and easy.  There is no fighting, crying, whining...  We had fun.

 trying on our new hat... it is a hit.

 'picture of crackers mama'... So we took a picture of his crackers...

 I even braved it and let him hold the camera... with a little creative cropping, not bad.  Oh- and I about had a heart attack the whole time just praying he wouldn't throw it on the floor.

 ...and now he is done and yelling at me because I turned off the water and he wanted to give T.Rex a bath...

busy...

I have been busy busy busy lately... I have taken on some new commitments that are taking up more and more of my free time.  I will explain this weekend... If I get the chance.  Let's just say that I will be able to cross off a few more things on my 30 before Thirty list. 

My little adorable men, the reason I get out of bed in the morning... at 445 am.  My little bundles of joy... and energy.  I couldn't live without them, and for the moment they can't live without me either, thank goodness.

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Wednesday.

a shark, a spider and some fairies...

Yes, Halloween pictures.  I have been hit with the hate calls/texts/emails due to the fact that I haven't posted any pics of the little men in their costumes.  So here they are...

our jaws... we got him to hum the theme song to Jaws.

 

 the itsy bitsy spider... he sang the song all night.  A-dorable.

everyone had to wear the shark hat...

 my favorite picture of the night...

 

 

Our gang... 2 fairies, a spider, shark, ladybug, giraffe, piglet, chili pepper and twister.

the little men.

With 7 toddlers and a baby in tow we only made it up one street and back down to the house... 5 of the 7 toddlers tripped and fell at some point and one ate a glow stick.  good times.  They all looked adorable and enjoyed the candy.

We hope everyone else had a great Halloween as well!
