Playing with Aggie

Olivia loves my parents dog, Aggie. This is saying a lot since in general she is usually scared of dogs. Aggie is very gentle and doesn't jump or lick you though. Liv had fun throwing the ball for her for about an hour!

Fun in Springfield

all the kids together... I think they love it!

Hannah (Kim's baby)Liv and Connor

Connor (Lindsay's son)

We are in Springfield (where I grew up) and we are out visiting friends! My two best friends Kim and Lindsay have little ones of their own and it is so fun to have everyone together. They have CUTE kids that are very sweet and Claire and Liv had lots of fun with them. Livie especially loved Conner (maybe someday they will marry!!)

Beach House 2010

g

We got to rent a beach house and be with my family for a long weekend. We had fun hanging out, talking, eating, and playing in water! It was a good time. I wish we could see our family more! It is quite the drive though (about 14 hours)

Miss Claire-Bear

Little miss Claire. She is growing up so fast. We still call her baby- even though she is now 18 months old. Time is flying by. She is still very quiet. She does not use words. She will say a few here and there, but for the most part she only babbles. She loves a good snuggle. She is our sleeping beauty. She sleeps a LOT. She would probably still take 2 naps if I let her. She sleeps an average of 14 hours at night. Her latest trouble is biting. She just discovered the effects of it. She really has GOT to start using words instead of biting!! Liv bit for awhile too. I have hope she won't do it long- she gets in big trouble. She is terrified of other people. I mean if ANY one gets within touching distance of her she starts to freak. This includes Grandparents, friends, just about ANY one that isn't mom, Dad, or Liv. She is rather shy. She loves to be like her big sister. She copies most things. She is good dancer, and loves music. She LOVES to eat. She follows after her sister and will eat just about anything. She eats more then Livie most of the time! She is a sweet heart. We love you Claire!

Happy 4th of July

wathed fireworks with Em and Gisco, ate some good food, played with a light up sword, had special 4th of July hair... It was a fun time!

Photo Shoots

I've done a few photo shoots in the past few weeks. These are some of my favorites! I just think it is delightfully fun to take pictures. I wish they all turned out the way I envision. Remember- if you ever want me to take some photos- please ask!! I know I'm no pro, but I love doing it, and with time I'm getting better.
