milestones, picnics, smiles, boundaries, and a little celebration

i bet you're thinking that the boundaries refers to one of my sweet littles.  well, you're wrong...ha!  the boundaries are for me.  i'm the one that needs them.

without them, i don't get a whole lot done.  you might be wondering what exactly i'm talking about.  let's go with everything.  it applies to all of it.

let's take laundry.  i let it pile up.  not intentionally, but it happens.  and with five of us, it turns into a holy terror.  so, i made a rule.  laundry on mondays...all put away by sunday.  now, it gets done.  crazy, but true.

now for the blog.  i let it go too.  and i don't want to.  i like it here.  and i like watching my kids grow up.

so, here's my new rule...blogging every thursday...to recap the week.  let's see if it sticks.

it's thursday, and i'm here, so i guess that's step one :)

rewind to last weekend....

we all got together to celebrate my sweet sister ashley and her upcoming wedding to cameron.  we would have probably named landon...cameron, if it wouldn't have been for the ring and the date :)

it was a rare occasion for all of us to be together and we all enjoyed our day.  none of us wanted to leave, but we had a little one with us and quite a drive home :)

i actually have some more pics to share...i got a new camera!!  cue the hallelujah chorus.  my sweet hubby bought it for me.  i'm thinking he figured...buy her the camera or check her into the looney bin...seriously.

i swear, a camera is a part of my soul, and i just can't live without one...especially with a new baby in the house.

sweet emma was my first shoot.  i owed her a seven year birthday shoot...last month, but i had a baby :)    it tends to throw things a bit off kilter.  so, here we are...you can see some of the pics here.

next up was my little nugget...

he was due for his one month pics...sigh.  they grow too quickly.
Untitled

he's still officially one month, but more like 1.8 months :)  hmmm...maybe i need a rule for that too.
Untitled

he's so sweet and snuggly...
Untitled

he's our little bucket of love.
Untitled

he was quite cooperative too...

love the age where they don't talk back...

and you don't have to bribe them with candy :)  i think this one's my fave...

i took these two to the park last night for a picnic.  rob was out of town, so i didn't cook :)  the train came, which is the. most. exciting. thing. ever. for my little boy blue.  it made his night.
Untitled

it's the little things that make little ones happy.  love that.
Untitled

little things like raspberries.  they are his favorite.  he puts them on his fingers like claws.  he's the only little dude in the whole world that can turn the word claws into a 14 syllable word.  seriously.

i shot this one and loved it...

then i shot this one and loved it even more.  baby smiles are the best.
