While we were having family photos done of us a couple weeks ago (I'll post those soon!) we were lucky enough to have the talented Jenny Hansen film the whole thing! I didn't realize how priceless a video would be to me...it really captured all of the sweet and silly bits of our little family, so we can always remember them. Keep an eye...
A first birthday isn't complete without some cake-smashing shots. So we headed to our favorite neighborhood orchard to celebrate the oncoming sugar rush. Once Max did the initial demolishing, Sydney joined in on the face stuffing. We LOVE cake in this house. And we're so happy Max can join us in eating treats from now on. ;) ...
If I'm ever needing to get some extra editing done during the day, I usually know the perfect solution: a long play bath for the kids while I sit next to them with my laptop. I gather all sorts of toys to keep them happy and occupied for a good 30 minutes or so. But this day both kids were done after 5...
Sydney and I tiptoed into Max's room this morning to wish him Happy Birthday, and we were greeted by this big grin. It's actually the exact face we get to see every morning. I love this happy fellow! We had a relaxing day together. We played, we ran errands, and Max took lots of naps (hey, it's hard work turning one). I had...
Thanks so much to Jenfolio for the fun little peek into who's behind the camera. :) or for a faster and larger version, watch on youtube HERE. ...
Yesterday while I was busy working on the computer, I saw Sydney and Max sneak into the pantry and shut the door. I thought it was so cute to hear their muffled giggles. But when they didn't come out after 15 minutes, and their squealing continued, I was curious.... It was hard to do much scolding when I was snapping away and laughing...
Remember this? Well, who's to say a chubby, nearly-1-yr-old is too big to play dolly for his big sis. When Sydney gets bored, she resorts to using Max as her toy. ...
When I met Tommy, he was the first person who topped my sweet-toothed addiction. I thought he was the cutest thing with his oreos and soda runs (one of our dates included grabbing all the specialty drinks/sodas at the grocery store and taste-testing them at a park). Me and my roommates even called him Elf because he reminded us so much of THIS. ...
Come One, Come All! Sydney had her first real birthday party, and it was a dream come true (mostly for me...nothing's more fun than a carnival!). I'm thinking this needs to be an annual summer bash. :) My THREE year old! STEP RIGHT UP! We made it a family affair, so we had lots of helpful hands running the booths. When the kids...
