Our Newest Edition: Sydney Elise

I realize she is already 3 weeks new...but mommy with two has a little less time on her hands...so please forgive me!!

On May 5th, our second little angel was welcomed, so sweet and tiny, with lots of dark hair and long fingers and toes.  perfect. precious. absolutely beautiful.  We are so so blessed.  Her big sister is doing great and loves her sister so much, wanting to hold her and help give her a nook, she gives her kisses and tells her don't cry baby sister :).

I will confess (and most people already know this) I did a small happy dance when we found out so many months ago that A. our baby was doing really well and was healthy and B. it was a girl!!  I was really hoping Morgan would have a little sister, I have sisters and the bond is so great, no matter what life throws at you...you always have a best friend.  You might not be exactly alike, or see things exactly the same, but you will always walk through life together.  I also am very very excited for the matchy girl outfits and Sydney will have all of Morgan's clothes!! (including tutus :))

My life is very full and I love that I can share it through my pictures...who knows...maybe I'll have to start setting the timer and get in a couple too....after this baby weight falls off....which totally happens..right?  sure...

Enjoy our peanut's debut Model Shoot :)

Introducing...Chasen!

A little past his due date this lil guy joined the world...with his big blue eyes and tons of dark hair :).  I personally feel like I helped him grow since his mommy and I work together and had plenty of lunches out...both of us being prego AGAIN together...we made the most of it!!  It was my pleasure to shoot this little peanut...even with my enormous baby belly getting in the way lol.

He is adorable...congratulations Jenny , Brian & Tay :)  Can't wait for all the fun this summer on maternity leave together!

I just love his little smile here!!

Easter Egg Hunt Fun!

2008/2009 was a crazy time frame...our softball team disbanded as player after player, friend after friend announced they were expecting!  When all the babies arrived...6 by April of '09, we had our first playdate and group photo :).  The babies are growing and are now full blown toddlers, 3 girls and 3 boys, some with siblings to boot....

We started the day with the picture...might of been better to corral them mid-day..but wanted to make sure we got it in...so not everyone was the happiest...nor will they all fit on a bench next year..!  Then we made sure to hunt for some easter eggs, have some car races around the back yard, and finally tear up the house in TUTU's!  One day the boys may not forgive us...but they were totally into the TUTU's too.

I hope these shots make you smile...they are truly memories that we will never forget and treasure always :)

ring pop anyone?

blue is the best!!

Happy Easter

So...I'm catch up blogging...as many of you might know...I just had a baby!!  Her official post will be coming out here shortly, wanted to just get a little out there about Easter, because Morgan was so so cute!

The perfect look when mowing the lawn :)

Yes...we loveeeee Chocolate!

Tiny Dancer

Abby's dancing debut....Grandma Gayle's birthday celebration...how much excitement can you have in one day??!  I'm proud to say everything went off without a hitch...well except the classic slip on stage and the line of dancers going down but that is the fun of being 4 right?  It was so so cute!!

Morgan even managed to stay in her seat for all 299 dances...ok maybe there were only 30 but she waited patiently for our tiny dancer to come on :).

Abs- You did great!  I have a feeling your little cousin will be following your dance steps.....

(and friends I now say God Bless you to all parents that sit through endless acts for that 1 special moment when your baby gets on stage!!)

Enjoy Abs!  Love you, Auntie Shelley
