Turning 1 Sure is FUN!

It is crazy how fast time goes by...this little guy is tearing it up already!  Walking...but also RUNNING, hooping it up, you name it...he's into it.  I had a great time trying to keep up with him...and at this point it was probably comical to watch considering baby Pocahontas' (that is what I've been calling her since we haven't decided on a name yet!) arrival is in under 6 weeks.

Little Liam had the cutest outfits for his birthday shoot...I love love the TIE!!  He was a sharp dressed man in striped trousers and a vest, and we didn't leave out the classic #1 t-shirt either.  He changed faster than superman..and came out of each wardrobe change with a smile :).  I have to hand it to his parents, you would think they have 5 kids with how great of a team they were...I'm lucky if I can catch my little girl in 1 outfit!!

I had a great time hanging out with you guys and hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Happy BIRTHDAY LIAM!!

PS...This is the most fun "work" has ever been in my life!   

The world welcomes....Harper!

This pretty little lady didn't keep her parents waiting....too long after her due date....long enough I'm sure!  Her proud parents and big sister Kennedy were all smiles at the hospital and when we visited them at home...happily getting adjusted!  I was able to steal some moments with baby Harper, while Kennedy & Morgan played and am happy to release a few photos :).
PS...we need another playdate!!

I'm so happy for you guys and congratulations again on such a beautiful family!

Who can resist the Sock Monkey??

Big Sister Kennedy...not really pleased that I stepped in front of the TV :)

Close to my Heart

FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY!!  So glad you came, so glad you are over and the weekend to spend time with my family is here :).  The snippets of time that we get as a family from 530-730/8pm and 640am-730am during weekdays, although quality filled with laughter never compares to a full Saturday & Sunday of play.

So here are my two peas in a pod, my big bad GSD and sweet little girl.  I can't wait to add baby to the mix :).  We might need a bigger couch....

Not sure this is what Cash is hoping she'll share with him...notice he has no interest in Beauty & the Beast?!

Melts my heart to see these two best friends.  Morgan gives him boogs & cheerios...what more could a dog ask for??

Ok...I'm slightly cheating tonight by only posting two pictures but all these late nights and my sore back with baby are catching up to me...I know excuses excuses!  Tomorrow will be a better post..promise...

I have a neeeeewwwww baby to shooot in the morning!!  Stay Tuned...............

Little Bug's Photoshoot AKA Casey..

The plan was for just Casey's big sister Abby to come in town and hang out with Morgan and celebrate Great Grandma's birthday.....but lucky for everyone..Casey & Abby have a really nice Daddy who brought them both all the way into Franklin from Watertown and hung out long enough for me to get Casey dressed up...completely undressed...and dressed again...with a little screaming here and there thrown in the mix!

My brother in law has a ton of patience..as does his "little bug" (as he and now everyone calls him)..no nap in and still looking so so cute for me!  Next time we'll get him with his big sister :).

I will caution you that I made my nephew cry...well more so I think it was the lack of nap, nakedness, and basket situation...but I did continue to take a picture of it...for a second...I promise!!  I then swooped in and consoled..but quickly passed him to his Daddy, who made everything right faster than a blink of an eye.  Am I awful?  First instinct is to put the camera down trust me...but I squelch it because I know it'll be just a second...and I just love all his expressions so much, even when he is sad and extremely mad.

I hope you'll forgive me little one.  I love you!!  (As does your big cousin Miss Morgan who had a blast with you!)

Sister..I hope you are up this late tonight...this mama is TIRED and didn't want to disappoint...here is your sneak peek!!

My little helper :).  

I know...but isn't he cute mad???!!  

And Daddy makes up for mean Auntie Shelley's hat and basket trick

And All is forgiven...what a little ham...don't you just want to eat him up?!!

Kind of getting addicted to this nightly blogging...editing...emailing..updating.  Sort of preparing myself for our new addition...I'll be able to be up all hours of the night then right??  I'm going to tell you right now that I cannot be held responsible for the gibber gabber that might not be coherent on these blogs with her arrival!!  You can bet there will be a ton of pictures though!!

One Too Cute 2 Year Old!

COOOOOOPER (as Miss Morgan refers to him) is just as the title states...absolutely adorable.  All boy.  He tore up the house with the foam sword...dropped buckets off his head...climbed furniture...and made all of us laugh every 5 minutes...gosh I just love this kid!!  Last summer I remember him being the first to show Morgan how to put rocks in her dogs water dish outside....I can only imagine what he will get himself (and my girl) into this summer!

We had a great time hanging out with you Fox family (as always) and I really hope you like some of these pictures...I can't wait to put some in my galleries on my website ;).

This fantastic block was actually made for me by Cooper's Grandpa!!
I love it love it!!!

Is this not the BEST look??  Totally up to something...

PS...I have to say I'm quite impressed with living up to this blogging nightly commitment!!  This week is FLYING by already and yup I have PLENTY more material for the second half of the week :)

Happy Birthday Grandma!

I love birthdays...the presents, cake, smiles, and most of all getting together with everyone you love and celebrating.  My grandma turned 82 years young this year on Feb 19th and we had a small princess party :).  Crowns all around, lots of running around, and our little prince Casey joined in the fun too...scooting the walker after the girls and my poor puppy Cash, I think Casey liked the carrot cake best of all!

Happy Birthday Gram, thanks for spending the afternoon with us :).  Miss Morgan loved her front seat to your carrot cake and helping you blow out your candles.  You are one of the youngest looking grandma's I know..32 according to the candles!  Your beautiful, inside and out and we love you dearly.

PS...Yup I'm making good on my promise to daily blog..and edit...I now have a full appreciation for the phrase burning the candle at both ends!!
