Life Lately


man time
So I was super busy inside on a day that Neal desperately needed to cut the grass, but little man was awake and needing some attention........solution wrap him up in the Moby and have Daddy wear him while cutting the grass......genius! He had a blast and the next time Neal mowed the grass, about a week later, Jonah did not get to ride along with Daddy, but watched from the porch with me, clearly Jonah was a little upset because he would get super excited when Neal would start toward us and then get equally as disappointed when he kept right on going past us!




food + jonah = big mess
He does not eat too much food, he is still a nurse-aholic! But when he does choose to eat table food, he.is.messy! I mean in his hair, ears, up his nose, you name the orifice and there is food in there! He does enjoy his food though, I will say there is usually more food on him than in him! He seems to really enjoy bananas and avocado, those are the two I can usually count on him eating, and blueberries too.







sophie, my sweet, oh so grown up, sophie.......
What can I say other than she is growing up waaaaaaaaaaaay too fast. She loves to love her little brother and her hearts biggest desire? ......to help all this little love wants to do is help no matter what the task, oh my sweet girl. Most recently she helped me saute the meat for tacos, and chop up avocado. A few weeks ago we made our own strawberry jam, she was a big help washing the strawberries and the jam is so yummy! She is now the proud owner of a bright orange BMX bike. She finally outgrew her Princess tricycle and Neal and I felt it was time to move onto a two wheeler with training wheels, she passed by every girly bike in the store and went straight for the neon orange bike!!! Rock on Sophie, the girl knows what she likes! Neal is pretty stoked that she chose a BMX bike too. Her and Daddy have been bike riding fools lately and she even tries to do her version of a "trick" just like Daddy does on his bike. You are growing up too fast little girl.

Family Photo Session

Ok, so my husband is a photographer, and yes we have lots of great pictures, but none of them have Neal in them or us as a whole family! So this past Saturday we enlisted the fabulous services of a local photographer Nicole Rogers to take our first family pictures! Not only is this the first time we have had family pictures taken, but it is the first time Neal and I have had pictures together since we were married......in October of 2004!!!! We had such a blast out taking pics with Nicole, she was very laid back and I feel like she captured our family just as we are......love it! Funny thing.....we go to the same church and had no idea, small world!

Anyway Nicole has posted a "sneak peek" on her blog for us to take a look at and share with you guys, click HERE to view. Also after the last image on the blog there is a link to view our slideshow with a few shots from the session. Our complete gallery will be up for us to view soon, and I will send out an email so anyone who wants to take a look can do so! Oh and the beautiful quilt that you see in the pictures was hand made by Neal's grandmother "Giz" as a wedding gift for us. We know Giz would be "tickled" to see these pictures.

What we have been up to lately......

Wow, I did not realize until I started uploading these pictures, how long it has been since I actually updated this thing! Whoops! Anyway........in a nutshell starting from the top and working our way down this is what we have been up to.....

*Daddy got a new backdrop and decided to test it out on Jonah (and he got some really cute shots).

*We celebrated the 4th of July for three days.

*Jonah's bottom two teeth popped up.

*Sophie has been sporting her curly locks lately since we have been spending lots of time in the pool.

*Jonah discovered he likes to eat grass.

*Sophie is still dressing up like "Princess Haley".

*Jonah is really stinkin' cute, curious and ready to crawl any day now!

*Neal's grandparents came down for a visit Memorial Day weekend and met their Great Grandson for the very first time.
