Outside Fun


Today before nap we had a few fun moments outside. I LOVE SPRING! I decided to try to get some shots of Eva Kate in the front yard, impromptu with messy hair and whatever outfit she had on. It was the first time baby was on the fresh earth. She didn't quite know what to do but loved feeling the wind blow in her wild hair and touch the scratchy grass. So instead of her normal smiling frenzy of photographs you get to see another side of EKC, curious and soaking in every moment of something new.







Also there are a few photos of Jackson on his tricycle pushing it up the hill only to ride down fast...he is such a boy!

I home you enjoy!

We have teeth!

Eva Kate finally pushed those two little boogers of teeth out a few weeks ago. I have tried and tried to get a picture of those beauties but never could...until this morning! Enjoy!

Gotta love my big boy!

Genius Engineering, and please look at the camera with a real smile!

Monday night while I was cooking dinner Jackson whirls in and grabs the dog leash as says "I need this." I think nothing of it since usually while I am cooking he is coming up with something new and imagining something great (he has an incredible imagination). While I am cooking I look down to see this:


FYI I don't let him play with the dog leash!

I keep trying to get a picture of Jackson for his birthday invite and that boy cracks me up. He will work with me for a few seconds and then gets mad. Here are a few of our attempts:)

This Never Happens...

While I was getting ready for church this morning I looked over to see this in my bed! I love them both so much. I think Jackson is finally getting comfortable around Eva Kate. I think that for so long he may have been afraid he would hurt her. So sweet!

Last week of January

This last week of January I think my kids wanted to end it with a bang! It started off with EKC not sleeping (which is unusual). Every month or so she will have a night and we just attribute it to a "growth spurt". Well this time we thought it could be teething because our sweet angel was great all day but she waiting until our heads hit the pillow and the scream fest began. Nothing would sooth. New diaper, no. Warm bottle, no (was afraid she was getting into the habit!). Rocking and cuddling, no. Jackson started to not feel well around Tuesday so we figured EKC was the same way. We waited it out thinking they were getting better until Saturday morning we decided it was time to feel better again and we were dying for sleep! Both kiddos have a sinus infection. EKC was weighing in at a whopping 17lbs and Jackson at his content 30.

Both kids have been taking their medicine great! Even Jackson takes all his medicine down with little fuss! (Answered prayer if you don't remember what I use to go through!) So I kept Jackson out of school one more day just to make sure we have enough meds in him and for me to start feeling better.

On a great note I finally got a full nights rest after a week of not sleeping through the night! Also EKC got her first pair of shoes. She loves jumping in her jumpy thing and trying to stand up so we wanted to protect those little feet. Are they not adorable???

Also on a great note the weather was FABULOUS! Luckily Jackson started feeling better and got to play outside all weekend with his Daddy and his sandbox! I also got this great expression from Jackson! Love that boy!


After I took this picture Andrew got a hold of my camera...and he took some really great shots!

I Heart Faces: Best Faces Photo in January

This week the photo challenge on I Heart Faces is People's Choice: Best Face Photo in January. I chose the picture of Eva Kate in her exersaucer because I loved the smirk on her face.

I only wish I knew what she was thinking!

I Heart Faces: Winter Wonderland

This week's photo challenge at I heart Faces is "Winter Wonderland". Remember that for this blog you must include a photo with a face:) I know that it has snowed/iced here in Georgia twice in the past month but unfortunately I have not been able to get a really good photo, one because I usually have EKC strapped to me and secondly Jackson has said it is too icy outside. So I just thought that the photo of Jackson on the sled was great. I just love his face and how it seems to say..."wow I wish there were more snow...I really wanted to build a snowman". Poor little man...hopefully we will get a snow where a "Frosty the Snowman" can be built!

Enjoy and please if you are a photographer take a moment to check out this amazing blog!
