Let Her Eat Cake!

A couple of weeks ago we had our family pictures & Reese's 1st year pictures taken by Meridy. As always they are Ah-Mazing! Love them & love her! She is so great with the kids. 

For Reese's 1 year pictures I brought her a cake and let her have at it. OMG was she in heaven... until we took it away! 

Jammie Pictures

Wow. This blog a day has been rough this month. I'm stretching. In car I always have a great blog written and lots of ideas, but in real life... it's 9:00 pm. I'm tired. The elf needs to go the North Pole, lesson plans needed to be typed, water bottles need to be filled, babies need their diaper changed and Mama needs to go to bed!

Last week I took the kids to have Christmas jammie pictures taken with the wonderful Meridy. I wasn't going to post them because they may end up in the Christmas card. But then this Saturday we had family pictures done and THOSE may end up on the Christmas card. So who knows. Either way they are already on Facebook.

Meridy has done it again! She has taken stunning pictures of my babies! I am so in love with each and every one of these pictures. I want to order a 16x20 of each photo and cover my walls with them. I'm not kidding. 

We'll start with Jaxon. 

She offered a mini-shoot for back to school. Please notice the background. Jaxon wrote his name on the chalkboard and under he wrote a 'P' for Pre-school. First of all, I'm SUPER proud he could write his name in order and with fairly good formation. Second of all, I'm excited he knew how to write a 'P'! We haven't even practiced at home! Thanks Preschool! 

He makes me so proud

I honestly think he will be able to read all 3 of those books
in 2 years. 

Love love love

And now on to Reese. There are no words. 

My absolute favorite

She's showing off her clapping skills here

Her lips. I'm in love with them.

Yeah. My kids should be models :) https://www.facebook.com/pages/Simply-Snapshots/141345359236484

7 Month Pictures

Reese is 7 months now and that means it was time to update her pictures. I know, I know.  I have her pictures taken a lot, but I took Jaxon to JC Penney every 2 months his first year, so I must do the same with Reese.

Thankfully, I met a great photographer at school. Meridy's daughter was in Ami's class last year and she takes awesome pictures! So we found ourselves at her house this week to take Reese's 7 month pictures! (Meridy also took each kid's pictures in May)

What I love most about these pictures is the dress she's wearing. My grandmother had it specially made for Reese. She wanted Reese to wear home from the hospital, but Reese was so tiny. It finally fits her and she looked beautiful in it!

This smile melts Brian's heart everytime!

I know she's mine, but isn't she a beauty?

I love when babies play with their feet

Yeah. She's done.

Oh that face. 

I can't wait for her 9 month pictures! We have something super cute planned. If you follow me on Pinterest, you probably have  a good idea.
