funny faces

We had a little mini shoot to get some Easter pics of the kids.  They were not into it!  I did get a couple of winners (to be posted later)....but here are some of the "out takes".  I just can't help but laugh!

the best place to sleep

I really have no words for this.  My heart flutters when I see my baby girl sound asleep and comfy on her daddy.  Its just that happy heart feeling! ♥  I wish they stayed this precious forever!

a scenic drive

I totally forgot how gorgeous the drive over to coast is during this time of year!  Everything was so green and wild flowers were popping up all over.  And....old barns everywhere!!  {squeal}  Unfortunately, I didn't have the camera ready for most of them, but I was able to get a shot of this one on Hwy 46.

Engine 64

The hubby and I went to Pismo last weekend for a quick little get-away.  (Which was FABULOUS, by the way.)  On our way out of town on Sunday we got to see the Cal Fire/Pismo Beach guys in action.  Notice the surf board on the back?  How awesome is that?!  I told the hubs he needs to put in a transfer to THAT station and we'll move over there.  I think its a great idea!

Project 365 Day 93 - 4/3/11

organized?

Well, Mr. OCD is at it again.....I went into Luke's room to get him up in the morning and found this hilarious site.  Luke had his cars, tractors, and trucks perfectly lined up from largest to smallest.  I wish I had a wider angle camera lens because the line is actually longer than what you can see here.  He is VERY particular about how things must be, from the way he lines up cars, to the way his blanket has to be on him...its pretty funny!  I know many of you already saw this on Facebook, but it was definitely blog worthy!

8 monts of cuteness

Our little Madison turned 8 months old on March 21st.  We finally had nice enough weather for me to dress her up and get some 8 month pictures.  She is sitting up all by herself now, combat crawling all over the house, and plays patty-cake all the time.  She's growing so fast and we are enjoying every moment!



Project 365 Day 91 - 4/1/11

girls are sweet, boys are....well, boys!

I must say there is a huge difference between girls and boys!  Besides the obvious....take for example this picture.  I was holding Madi in my lap and Frankie was laying next to us.  Madi gently put her hand on Frankie and just held it there, and Frankie was totally cool with it.  (It was so sweet, I had to take a pic with my cell phone!) If that had been Luke, I would have been prying him off the dog as he squishes her and tries to pull her ears and tail off.  She would have been growling and hair would be flying everywhere!  THAT is the difference between my girl and boy!

:: madi ::

My most favorite part about taking pictures of my Madi girl is her eyes.  They are crazy blue and just sparkle!  So blessed to have two perfect and healthy children!!

Project 365 Day 79 - 3/20/11

:: cousins ::

We attempted a "cousins" picture a few weeks ago with Madi, James, and Luke.  Its literally impossible to get 3 kids under 3 to all be happy and look in the direction of the camera, all at the same time!  Its a good thing they are all super cute!



Project 365 Day 78 - 3/19/11

pizza and pbr

The PBR (Professional Bull Riding) was in town again and Luke couldn't be more excited to see cowboys and buckin' bulls!  We met the King Family for dinner and then took our 3 rowdy boys to the event.  It was kind of a late night for our little guys, but we had a great time!  So, guess what we have recorded on our DVR now??  PBR shows!  And how many times a day do we have to watch them?  Way too many!! 

This picture was actually taken by Jeff with my phone while we were at dinner....I bet you're all surprised to finally see me on the other side of the camera! : )

cloudy sunrise

I took this picture on my way to work one morning.  It was just after a rain as the sun was coming up.  The sun was peaking through the clouds and shining on the mountains waaaay in the back.  It was really pretty!

rough day at the office

Our little Madi girl had a long day and passed out on the couch early in the evening.  She's just so cute, I can't resist taking hundreds of pictures of her!

Happy Birthday Logan!

Project 365 Day 71 - 3/12/11

Our little friend, Logan, turned 3 last month!  He had a fantastic tractor party at his house with lots of good friends and fun times!  I caught this picture of him seconds after he crammed a handful of candy in his mouth!  So busted little man!!  haha!


Sorry Andrew, but I told you this would make the blog!  Dad's can have fun at kid parties too!

Project 365 Day 71 - 3/12/11

spring is coming!

Daffodils!!  I had just noticed on this day that our daffodils were about to bloom.  These were my Grandpa's favorite flower and years ago he planted some along their whole drive way (about a mile).  Each year they bloom and multiply in numbers, so now there's probably hundreds of them.  I always think of my Grandpa when I see them and I was so happy when we discovered that we had daffodils at our house too!

low...ride...er....

Luke loves to "drive" Daddy's work truck.  He looks like a natural behind the wheel.  I'm so glad we have a few years before that actually happens!  He's into watching NASCAR with Jeff now and likes to yell "wreckin' wreckin' wreckin'" whenever there is a crash during the race.  So the other day, Jeff took Luke for a ride in the Toyota to the end of the road and back.  He punched the gas a little while turning into our drive way got a little sideways.  Luke was laughing and yelling "wreckin' wreckin' Daddy!"  Aye!!
