I heart

this little girl

Swing batter-batter

T-ball 

First year.

Brady is havin a BLAST.

A SERIOUS BLAST

Only my kid would wave mid stride for the camera

This one was totally unposed.  He just happen

to turn and I snapped away.

This is the TYPICAL shot

Brady running full steam no matter where

he is in relation to the ball

He is fast

super fast at times.

As well as super sweet

and kind...

Beaming with happiness

and silliness

and spunk.

He talks with this silly voice-alternating between Donald

Duck and Darth Vader which is not easy to master.

He whistles constantly

Always in motion

Nearly always with a SMILE on his face

or in quieter moments, a thumb in his mouth.

He is addicted to sippy cups and all things

rough and tumble

but is sweet to the core

just like his Daddy (well Brad isn't into

sippy cups but you know what I mean)

here I should insert daddy son photo....got to

get me a recent one of those;)

HAPPY WEEKEND

Zillions

and zillions of fun, beautiful, whimsicle, ADORABLE

curious, and just plain goofy photos of these two.  

L-O-V-E-D following them around and watching

their expressions.  Their dad was sooooo good 

with them...pointing out Banyan trees as he fixes a barrette!

Can't wait to finish editing this session because its 

filled with gems;)

Sweet

mommy moment....

This little guy was soooo wonderful.

Many-many more adorable photos of

this one week old to follow;)

This Post is

All Bride;)

A couple sneak peeks of the elegance and

beauty I captured a couple weeks ago.

(You could tell this father of the bride adores his little girl)

Will have to keep the rest of the photos top secret until

I am finished...hehe!

Blue Eyes

No shortage of them here....

This little girl has these great eyes that dance and 

sparkle when she is happy/entertained/has a full belly/is peeing 

on me/is grabbing toys off her baby dangle-y gym thing/

is swimming in the tub/or is pulling a sibling's hair....

AND are equally expressive when she is screaming with

those vocal cords that make her nickname "pipes" so

appropriate. (really need to grab the camera for that shot, too)

ANyway, She is lovin those hands lately...and slobbering up a storm.

And did I mention she flirts with me at 3 am?  Could 

we not be giggle-y and baby talk-y at 3 am?? Please save

it for daylight...but of course I cave and talk back a little

she is so darned cute even at 3.  Ugh!

Her big sis has been more interested in her lately...

developing a nack for entertaining her just a bit longer

so I can squeeze a little more multi-tasking before having 

to pick her up.

And these eyes....man.  

They dance when she is doing gymnastics/creating art

giving her sister "lessons"/doing some self-directed 

house work/swimming/playing with Aunt Hopey 

or her DADDY(which typically involves some

crazy hyper fun game) or reading to her siblings

during our nightly "one-on-one" ritual.

I have a feeling these two girls are going to have

a lot in common;  much more than their blue eyes.

This Guy

is making his First Communion on Saturday.

He LOVES his mom, making me think a gecko is

on my head, his puppy Daisy, and his little sis...

pretty much in that order;)

ADORABLE sister could not be any sweeter or more helpful.

And just one of the MANY MANY giggles we had today.

Sooooo many great photos, I had to share!

She was Trying to Eat the Bunny

Not Joking here...Piper was goin

for the Paw....and she nearly had it, too.

Kids had a great time at the mall.  Until the

meltdowns started, I did, too!

Nice to get out of the house!

How to dye Eggs

First grandma helps fill cups and drop

in the appropriate colored tablets....most

of the time;)

Next up is raiding Daddy's closet so 

OUR clothes don't get "washable" dye (that

stays on your skin for 2 weeks) on them

check.

now we make sure Papa has the baby so we aren't

dipping eggs to the tune of "man she has lungs!"

whew....nap time;)

And finally eggs are distributed to some anxious artists.

Overheard from littlest artist "now do i put my fingers 

in the cups?  do i drink it?  are they done?  i made

a really great green one!"

Happy Easter!

She was not THRILLED

in the least bit to be my model.

But man, does she look adorable

in bunny earz!!!

HAPPY EASTER!
