cuteness

seriously. seeing her reading in her little tiny car-seat, just makes me melt. every time!

a long week

The hubby has been out of town this week. in fact, he is still gone. and it always seems to be that the times when he is away, are the times when sickness and restless nights are a thing in our household.

but we have made do and found that playing and reading are always a favorite to start the mornings.


and when the sun is shining outside, we head out there to keep it company.


plus, we just love some cuddle and lazy time. a must in this household.

and finding new games to play make this long week seem not so bad. thankfully, wayne will be home soon and everyone is looking forward to that time! 

hope you all had a very wonderful week and weekend!

wordless(ish) wednesday

i heart faces :: by the book

there's no question around here. we love to read. so when the theme at i hear faces was by the book i just knew that i had to share a pic of our favorite activity!

he could read all day. and i just love watching him do it!

head on over to i heart faces and check out some amazing captures on 'by the book'!

at least it's not mascara

he never ceases to amaze me. he always seems to find the permanent markers no matter where we hide them and lock them up. i like to look at it as if he is expressing his creative side.

i love this colorful and creative and sweet boy of mine!

baby k :: kansas city, missouri

Last week I had the privilege to photograph baby k, just four days new.


She was the sweetest and most precious little thing and I just loved photographing her and her beautiful family.








The big sister checking out her new little sister.


I just love this photo. Such a sweet moment.

This was such fun and wonderful experience. I loved being able to capture sweet moments of this family and their new little one. This was such a blessing for me for sure.

i heart faces :: best face of 2011

I know this was a recent post of mine, but when the I heart faces challenge asked for best face of 2011, I just HAD to choose this one. I love this face of his and it helped end the year on a perfect one, with lots of laughter!

Go check out I heart Faces for more amazing faces of 2011!

thursday

I have been a little mia lately. After five pregnancies and three babies my belly button has had it and I had to go in for some minor surgery. Needless to say, my amazing husband has been taking great care of me and I am loving the relaxation!

But I will be back with more to share soon!!

Have a beautiful Thursday!

our weekend

We celebrated a little boy turning four this weekend.


It was just a wonderful way to start the new year!

How was all of yours weekend?
