Happy Easter!

dress up

I'm a bad blogger, hopefully not as bad of a mommy. Well maybe they won't think so when they see these kind of photos later on in life... I swear, I didn't pose them like this at all! just suggested they step over onto the paper so I could capture the fun of dress up in my studio! So much going on in their little lives. they are growing up so fast and I can hardly keep up with it all. Hopefully my pictures will help me remember just a bit!

florida!

We really enjoyed our time with family down in Florida. I am already planning our trip for next year it was so enjoyable. My kids were in heaven with sand, water, pool and long days with no schedule. I always say part of the reason I go on vacation is to take photos!










And if you are wondering, these are not printed large on 5 different canvases in my living room. They make me so happy looking at them!

it's about me today

Guess who is famous today... um yeah. that's me. ;)

pick up the paper today!

bathroom convesations by Patrick

Patrick: mom, maybe when you get bigger you can have a penis too, it will grow out of your stomach

the night before:
Patrick: mommy when you push out of your bum you make poopies.

yep, full on bathroom conversation at our house lately.

potty time!

So Annika has been showing an interest in the potty already. Probably mostly because she sees everyone else in the family doing it, so why not? The other day she said "poop" and led daddy upstairs where she proceeded to get out the potty seat, set it on the toilet and ask for her clothes off. Then Ryan got her up and guess what? she went! Then Patrick decided to be the good big brother and take over "holding" duties. She is too little and gets scared she will fall in, so in a very reassuring and encouraging voice Patrick helped her out.


and a few from bath time the other night
