Ummm...not quite.

My sis and I made these Adorable easter dresses for

our kiddos. WE were sooo stinkin proud that we actually

ended up with dresses resembling the original pattern

AND we enjoyed the process

(for the most part...lots of M&Ms helped:)

So.

We needed the much sought after photo of our clan

all matchey-matchey in their outfits..

So it started off OK....3 eager participants (i do not recall

the EXACT sugar treat used as bribery but I imagine it

was a good one)

Arms outstretched to be surrounded by the little ones.

THEN SO MANY THINGS went terribly wrong in such a short

period of time is became comical...

Bai realized that she didn't get to have one of the twins in

her lap. Pipe realized that sitting on the wood floor

looking at the camera was a negative 3 on the fun scale.

Ri realized he was SOoo NOT a fan of all this hoopla.

I realize all my light went behind a cloud. Brady

was no longer sure he was a fan of holding a fussy baby .

Thus,

this was the final result.

Ummmm...re-do?

Mermaids

are prettier than sharks:)

Attack!

Cutest Shark attack. EVER.

Someone

had a long day AND a late meeting so we are missing

him a bit tonight.....

OK, I am missing the extra set of hands like crazy

and the rest of him in modest amounts;)

LoVE this shot and have been meaning to share...

This beauty

made my job sooo easy yesterday. Had a blast photographing

her and her brother at McKee!

BFF

This is Keeg's BFF

Note the matching Super gloss lip balm:)

They are both imaginative, beautiful, genuine girls

despite their contrasting looks and personalities

And now they are missing the same tooth...which is showcased

nicely with that SUPER Gloss lip balm:)

The cutest thing on the field

so grounders aren't her forte....

Aunt Hopey came to cheer her on and hang out

in the dug out:)

The best is the "tongue out", keep your eye on

the ball, concentration technique!

so proud of this little squirt!

xoxo

Swing Batter Batter

Had a great day watching Brady excel at T-ball.

We won't mention the truck he hit when his ball went

over the fence:)

And my all time favorite picture of him today below:

love you big guy

xoxo

I have to share

this

and how they made this commercial is even cooler.

She is one popular girl

Miss Maddie lets her presence be known in

these here parts...be it squeals or screams

she captures your attention and the cousins

can't get enough of her:)

ps for those in doubt of my sewing ability those

matching dresses are all me and my sis:)

our easter project that will be featured this

summer when I can get 6 children looking

at the camera without pouting or crying or

walking away...hehe!

No Babies were harmed

in the making of these shots:)

Piper was intrigued but generally cautious with her small

friends. I am sooooo looking forward to the summer when

these pipsqueaks will be able to interact a bit more!!!

Slugger

my absolute favorite baseball player:)

Easter

a successful easter

Likely Pipers favorite Holiday EvER.

She would find an egg, plop down & consume!

Bai almost ate her weight in candy as well

The kids went boating and swimming all

Saturday with family so they slept in:)

Brad got his fresh OJ

We got all dressed up and headed to McKee

for egg hunt version 2.0

Bai struggled all day until she crashed in the

car on way to papa & Ma-ma's house

Time for swimming and hanging out before...

egg hunt 3.0:)

family dinner...

in stages...hehe

and sweet dreams in the car home.

water+babies

doesn't get much cuter than this :)

Grandma's house has been invaded by wee ones

Hi-Ya

Brady has been taking karate for a couple

of months....he looks sooo cute in his gi

which is probably not spelled that way but

work with me here...

and of corse this stinker had to check out

what was goin on:)

xo

Meet the Rocket Man

just a quick peek for the many family and

friends that are in love with this little guy.

The latest

snapshots of pipe:)

She is 15 mos old today and its amazing how much

her personality has developed lately...

she screams "Bubba" (brady) when the friends

get home from school.

She demands the itsy bitsy spider

on the way home from driving them

to school..man she is not a fan of that drive!

she LoVes drinking the big kids drinks

LoVes trying on big kid shoes

LoVes slides and trying to walk down steps

She loves nearly all fruit, especially if

she can squish it when she is done

and she LoVes her Dada:)

xo

She has grown up

before my eyes....

I had the opportunity to photograph

this beautiful girl...again.

just a little peak at what we were able to

capture today!

Double Stuff

Serious cuteness alert

had another amazing family session at McKee....

Love-LoVe-Love this shot.

xo

Overdue...

I have been meaning to take a couple

snapshots of this munchkin....but colds

and teething have prevented the quest..

I Can't Wait

until these prints come...

I am finally decorating some of these blank walls

and this masterpiece...

15 Biggety-big square prints are the start of the madness:)

I am having a moment

Keeg is growing and maturing like CRAZY

and Pipe is a little person now...

not so much a baby....

sigh

Just having one of those reflecting back

and kinda getting teary moments....

Super Sweet

session this weekend at McKee.

This guy is going to be a big brother soon:)

xo

Happy Birthday

xo

Happy Friday

These goofballs are getting to be two peas in a pod....

Bai REALLY looks up to Keegan and tries to balance

being exactly like her and being true to her soul.

Fascinating to watch....

unless you are Keegan's boyfriend, that is....

One year ago

sigh...

Yay!!

Daddy comes home tonight:)
