Halloween 2011

Preschool Pics

I had my friend Mindy Smith come and take our preschool pics. I L.O.V.E. every single picture. She seriously caught all of their personalities. I'll show ya my kids...

I seriously can't believe how fast my sweet Eli is growing up. He looks so big in these pictures, kinda makes me sad :(

Mason is even looking at the "grouchy ladybug" couldn't be a more perfect book for him! haha! I love how blue his eyes look...I wish I could figure out photoshop so I could get my pics of his eyes that blue!!

Eli's 4th birthday

I'm playing major catchup on my poor neglected blog.
Here are my favorite pics from Eli's birthday.
He chose to have a superhero party and have his friends come
in their favorite costumes. Eli is captain america and Mason
was Iron Man. He got lots of fun presents and enjoyed having
so many people come. So thanks to all who came!! :)

lucky aunt

How lucky am I? I got a new niece and a new nephew this summer. I also got to take their pictures!!





This is my brother's first baby. It's been so fun watching them become parents! I'm in love with Paxton's hair! They both are such beautiful babies...gives me some serious baby hunger! But, until Mason can sleep through the night that ain't happening! lol

18 things we love about Mason at 18 months:

dyeing eggs

Egg hunts

We went to the Easter egg hunt at the Dinosaur museum this year. The kids loved looking for the eggs, it was a really fun hunt.

Then we went to the egg hunt at the city park. I was really disapointed because none of the kids got any eggs, why do parents think they have to find eggs for their kids? It takes all the fun out of it!! But the boys had a blast playing at the park with their cousins, plus the weather was absolutely beautiful!!

Mason just enjoyed tasting everyone's treats.
