{Family Fun}

First of all, let me wish Jay a Happy Birthday tomorrow!  I truly have a wonderful husband and am so grateful for him and the way that he loves me and Holden.  Happy Birthday honey!

Since we got the new studio set-up, we’ve had fun playing around in it when we get a chance.  It’s so fun to have this incredible studio right in my house!  Whenever friends or family come over for a party or something, we can run to the studio and play around for a bit.  It’s always a fun attraction!  Here are some of my favs from the past month.

A few of Holden and Jay…

I love this one of me and Holden that Jay took.  I know all our limbs are chopped off, but I still love it!

My dad had us all cracking up on Holden’s birthday, as he pretended to be a supermodel for the camera. This is one of the more tame images I took!

{Catch me if you can!}

Since I’m still glued to the crutches for at least another week, I haven’t gotten to do any sessions lately.  There has been nice weather and tantalizing light just teasing me as I sit on the back porch day after day.  And though I’d really like to get back up and start shooting again, I can’t deny that this has been good for me.  I didn’t even realize how crazy busy I was until I was forced to drop everything.  You know when you just start getting out of control with things to do (that MUST be done or the world will end)?  And the beauty of just enjoying life and all the great family and friends you have seems to slip away in the whirlwind?  I think I was caught-up in that whirlwind and now that I can sit back and take things in, it feels really good.

I don’t want to be that person that can’t enjoy the simplicity of life.  You know the people that are always complaining about how busy they are and when you try and have a conversation with them, you can tell they’re not really listening to you because they’re thinking about something else the whole time.  I’m sure we’ve probably all been there at one time or another, but I don’t want to be someone who permanently resides there.  So yea, I think it’s been good for me to take a breather and step back for a bit.  Maybe the next time I get so busy, I’ll catch myself before I’m forced to break something else!

Anyways, here are a few images from a session a few weeks ago that I never shared.  This little guy definitely made me exercise!

I knew I was going to enjoy this session as soon as mom called and said she had just ordered the cutest little dress from Chasing Fireflies.  They have the most adorable little dresses for girls!  We had planned to do a sunset shoot to add to magic of her favorite fairy costume, but with all the rain lately, it didn’t quite happen.  So we went to plan B, and I’m glad we did, because I LOVE the images we got from this shoot.  She is the cutest little girl and we had fun chasing the elves in the forest together!  Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Happy Birthday My Little Monkey!

Holden turned 2 last weekend.  I meant to blog some pictures earlier in the week, but all of a sudden it’s Friday and I have no idea where the week went! As soon as Holden woke-up on Sat., he knew it was a special day.  There were presents, balloons, and all kinds of fun looking things around.  And most of all there was a strange man in the backyard blowing up a huge bounce house! He stood at the window and watched wide-eyed until it was all done.  And then Jay and I got to sit in the bounce house for the next 3 hours!  After nap time, all of his friends came over and we played and partied and had so much fun.  He walked around all day with a big smile saying, “birthday” in the cutest little voice.  I think he’s starting to understand that birthday’s are special!  Here are some of my favorite moments….

My absolute favorite of the day!

Ah yeah….that was some good cake…

What is this on my head?!

Holden and his Pop, snuck into the cake before the guests arrived.  I’m still not sure whose idea it was!

A birthday kiss from Lola!

And some fun party details…

I’m so behind on blog posts…I have so many things I want to share.  I don’t know why, but I always feel like I have to have something witty or profound to share whne I make a post.  And the truth is that I usually don’t feel witty or profound late at night when I finally find the time to update my blog.  So then I just don’t share anything! I know you’re thinking, just share some pictures, I don’t read what you write anyways! LOL! I’ll try to unload the blog expectaions that I have for myself and just share more pictures!

I had so much fun on this shoot.  Mom primarily wanted some pictures of her little cowboy since he’s turning 4 soon, but we had to sneak in some of little brother and the whole family!  Aren’t they an adorable family?!

Love this!

And the whole family….
