Charlotte has her 2 bottom teeth in!

Faces

It seems like the camera is in my hands a lot lately.

Since I have some pretty darn cute subjects to photograph.... hey, might as well! :)

Charlotte
Beatrice

Here is a new face. I am not sure if we are scared of it or busting up laughing. :)


She's got the M&Ms drool, still in her PJs and crazy hair. OK, so I still think she's super cute! :)

Addy's facepainting

Adeline's school has a fair every year. We always look forward to it. She got some candy, did fun games and got a beautiful facepainting of.... suprising enough.... a pink butterfly!

some new colorful friends

There have been some really pretty birds out in our yard this year. I am trying to get better shots of them, but that would require me putting down the baby, or telling Beatrice and Adeline to stop chasing them away from excitment. :)

I know Gma Linda would know what these birds are called, but I think it'll be fun to Google them and figure it out.

A Visit from Andi and the kids!

Cousins are the best!! Thanks Andi for coming up last weekend!

The kids LOVED it and all are wondering when I can go down there to see them. :)

(gabe went through "puberty" aka marker beard... kids... they come up with the weirdest things!)

Charlotte's photo shoot with Jessica

I happen to have an extremly talented friend. Jessica Randall. She is a beautiful photographer. I have posted about her in the past http://www.jrandallportraits.com/.
This time she took some photos of Charlotte. I wanted her to take pics of the blessing dress I made for Charlotte. It seemed like Charlotte was giving us nothing to work with at the session. I am so happy that Jessica got some beautiful shots. Now, I dont know which ones to choose! THANK YOU JESSICA!!!
I think Charlotte might be the most amazing thing I have ever created! :)

the margins on the blog are off a little, so you might have to click on the pics and watch the slideshow on photobucket.

Gma Adeline's Bday today

It's my Gma Adeline Parker's 101th Bday today. :)
Here is a photo of her and I when I was about 15.

It hangs in my Adeline's room.
Loved this sweet woman.

FHE with bikes, chalk and marshmallows

It was a beautiful day on Monday.

We had to go outside and enjoy it. For FHE we had a nice lesson and then hit the street. :) Ok, so we don't really go anywhere, which is totally sad, but we had fun with our bikes, sidewalk chalk and HUGE marshmallows.

Spring Picnics with friends!

We love the Johansen kids!

Adeline's Commercial

I don't know why, but we have the movie option out a lot on my camera. Gabe says its just plain fun.
So Addy made this commercial. All she said was... film me! and so i did! :) pretty funny!

Charlotte burbed in the middle of it. Life with kids and babies.... interesting. :)

Through Charlotte's Eyes

Isabel took this picture of me and I like it!

Gabe's 9th Birthday

Lots of fun here!

I would like to share a few photos of just some things we do on a regular basis....

These are not pretty pictures of kids all dressed up and perfectly combed hair. Its real life around here. Because 9 times out of 10, any one of these children darn well could have been looking smashing, until... I don't even know what they do to create the situation that they are in. Its impressive.

The wind of Twin Falls brought a wonderful gift down the street one day!

A BIG BOX! Do you remember how much fun a box was?

They sat in the box and saw the rainbow out back.

I pointed out the rainbow to Beatrice and she SAW it! Way fun! A 2 year old doesn't really know what you mean by... look up there!!

While doing all this and taking pictures of the kids, I left dinner to hopefully not burn.

I just cant pass up some moments. :)

(dinner wasn't too bad)

Just one lick Beatrice.....

PLEASE let me have my sucker back! :)

Isabel is the sweetest big sister known to mankind!

Beatrice is excited to hold baby Charlotte. They are my beautiful babies. :)

Gabe... boys need haircuts!

Lets do it outside so it'll be easy clean up for us both. :)

Who knew she LOVES her toes!!!

How would you like to greet this girl everyday? :)

I am glad that even though she has chocolate ice cream in her hair and under her nails, that at least she has a towel on her shoulder. She is found rummaging through the freezer for ice cream on a regular basis. (her mom's girl I am afraid.. but, hey, I got that from my dad. Yeah, lets blame it on Grandpa Lee. hahaha!)

Always the accessory of choice! Tutu!

Charlotte is trying badly to see something...

Ah yes.. this girl is just cute with or without homemade pizza all over her.

The Mother Adeline

charlotte teething video

My babies are the cutest!

Sometimes I dont realize what they are going through until... ooops... then have gone through some pain. :) So, here is Charlotte making a cute new face, but she is really TEETHING! Pretty cute way of making me want to hold her a lot and give her anything she might need.

Pretty smart of her! ;)

Isabel is the one that is next to me and squishing some cheeks. :)

Char does this all the time now.

I know, it is weird that I am posting yet another thing CHarlotte does, but, hey, she's my baby and this is what I do.
