Oh to be a kid again...

So...what do you do when your daughter has dropped her mini M&M's for the third time in five minutes...let her eat em off the ground...

Then she makes THIS face and you fall even more in love! Oh to be a Nugget!

Little Miss Lauren...aka Frenchy...

I haven't taken any shots of lil Frenchy in a while so I decided to take some today. Sadly, I took 145 shots! Haha! I had no idea I'd taken that many until I loaded them up. She's a challange this one because the second her feet touch the ground, she literally doesn't not stop walking around. She goes from room to room, stopping for a second here and there. So after following her around for a LONG time and taking everything I could, I stuck the lil stinker in the high chair so I could get some of her sweet lil face and GORGEOUS eyes. Here are a few...

More of Miss Nuggget...

So I decided to take some shots of little Lauren (was Meathead now Frenchy because she sounds like a lil Frency when she talks....My grandma J would be so proud) and of course lil Miss Nugget couldn't let Frenchy get all of the spotlight! When I want to take shots of her she runs and rarely looks at me, but when I tell her to get the heck outta the way so I can shoot Frency (sounds bad huh? lol), there she is yelling "Me Me!" Lol! So here are a couple I got this morning. I'm obessed with this peachy b&w I created one day while playing in PS. The first two are peachy b&w's the 3rd is just a standard b&w.





Oh lil Nugget, you're a CUTE pain in the butt!

And of course...little Nugget...

These are possibly some of my favorite shots of Avyree. Not because of the photographer skill (cause that's NOT there lol) and not because of exposure, composition, lighting...yada yada. But I love what they captured. UGH...this little Nugget could just NOT get any cuter. And she just could NOT have more personality and character! She melts my heart and I just wanna squeeze her and freeze her so she is always THIS cute & THIS sweet & THIS fun! I don't want my baby to grow up anymore. The thought of it actually hurts my chest and makes me wanna cry! Please stay this way forever lil Nugget...






See what I mean! I know you want to steal her and bring her home with you and keep her forever. But you can't! Unless she's being a Naughty Nugget, then you can borrow her for a couple hours! But you have to bring her back...

My first baby...

As I assumed would happen, Haylee wanted more pictures of her on the blog too! Man do I know this girl like the back of my hand! *insert evil smile here* Lol! So she let me go snap happy on Saturday.

So here is an indepth look of my first baby. The one who changed my life in 2001 and changed who I would be forever! In so many ways, this girl is my other half. She drives me to the point of insanity and I love her with all of my heart. Without this girl, I don't know who I would be today.


Here are my girly girls feet in her shiny pretty girly shoes.




Trying to find Hannah Montana on the TV...



Looking at her yearbooks...amazed at how little she USED to be...



This is my girl...confused and forgetting what she was going to say. Oh yes, she is my child...



Ah...it's moments like this...SWEET smiles that melt my heart...



Okay, I will say that I have NEVER in her 7 years of life, seen this look on her face! I LOVE it...


Having fun with Daddy...



Tired after having fun with Daddy...



One of Haylee's signature looks...ANNOYED!



Oh how I love her...and her ears...



Writing down her APPOINTMENTS in her book...



My SWEET girl. I love when she has this cute, sweet, young, innocent NOT trying to be a teen face...


And there you have it! A good look into Haylee in a day! Have a great day! :O)

Fun with Daddy & a blanket...

All it takes to have fun is Daddy and a big blanket. The smiles come out and the hair goes flying...

Sticker fun...

To be a kid again...



She helps keep me young and happy! Oh how I love this lil Nugget!
