Rehearsal Dinner

LOVE this picture! Lots more to come from rehearsal dinner but I had to share as this one makes me smile big right now. :0)

Shana's Bridesmaid Luncheon

5.7.10

I'm finally getting a chance to post some pics from Shana & Randall's wedding weekend. First up, Bridesmaid's Luncheon at Ellerbe on Friday afternoon. It was lovely!

Shana & her bridesmaids.....

"Mama Hold You"

My view every day. Many, many, many times a day. And I love it!

One more of this silly boy. This one totally makes me think of my brother. And yes, that's chocolate on his face again. The boy definitely enjoys chocolate.

Congratulations Shana & Randall!!!

Ezra's Aunt Poolie & Uncle Dinosaur Randall were married this past Saturday. It was a fantastic weekend and we all had the best time. More pics and updates coming soon but here a few pre-wedding shots from last week. This little dude was the ring bearer in the wedding. :0)





p.s.- If you are wondering....Ezra calls his uncle "Dinosaur Randall" ever since he gave him a dinosaur for his 2nd birthday last August. He just kind of said it one day and it stuck. We love it! And we love Aunt Poolie & Dinosaur Randall!

Play, play, play. Just about every afternoon you can find our family playing in the backyard. Soccer, golf, basketball, cars & trucks, brooms….you name it…Ezra digs it. I look at these and think he is one happy kid. No big pictures of the yard yet as I’m waiting to show that off. We’re putting in a new fence in a week or two so I’ll be sure to share when that’s up. It’s going to be good!

He still loves this tree....

No picture of Ezra on the table (although I have a feeling it will happen again) but I will share a couple from this past week. Ezra's Aunt Emilie always sends him such wonderful books. She keeps our library collection stocked with fantastic reads! Thank you!!!

p.s. - Doesn't he look so big here!

MUSCLES!!!

Next time you are around Ezra be sure to ask him to show you his muscles. He is very strong.

He picked this outfit out all by himself. :0)

And he REALLY likes chocolate...

Hello!

Hello long lost blog friends! I’m going to try to be better about updating. Here goes…

Life has been crazy busy lately. Two full time jobs, one part time photography hobby/job, two parents who want to exercise way too much, and one super energetic 2.5 year old have all combined to make life feel way too busy. So in that regards we’re trying to slow down a little bit and simplify things at our house. I say “we” but it’s more me than Logan. My little photography business has gotten so busy that I could easily pack every weekend with 2 or 3 sessions so I’ll be cutting back and slowing down a little.

We’ve got several projects going on at our house one of which is our backyard. Last week we (Homero - got to love Homero!) took out all the landscaping that the former owners put in. It was nice but not our style and definitely not good for a 2.5 year old who wants to run around. We planted new grass and now have what feels like a huge backyard. Before it seemed so small since the majority was in flowerbeds. Now all we need to do is a new fence on one side and we’ll be done. Hopefully that will happen in the next few weeks. Ezra LOVES to be outside so I’m excited about having a nice backyard for all of us to hang out in this summer. We're also starting to redo our dining room. We took off doors to the kitchen and are looking for new furniture. I've got a paint project coming as soon as school lets out for summer. Anyone want to help? Anyone? Anyone?

My wonderful sister Mary Bess and her husband BD adopted our cat yesterday. This is BIG for us! We’ve been talking about finding a new home for Socks for a while now but I never really thought I could do it unless we found the perfect spot for him where he would get lots of love. The poor little guy just doesn’t get the love he needs anymore. I never thought I would be one of those people but in reality that’s what happened. Just never enough time for the little guy. Every time Aunt Bess comes to our house Socks loves it. She gives him so much love and attention so I know he’ll be in heaven living at their house. THANK YOU MARY BESS AND BD!!! Another big step in simplifying things around our house. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

And now for a few pictures of our Easter last week….

If you ask Ezra to smile this is what you'll get. I can only imagine what his school pictures will be like some day. :0)

My two favorite people. Click here to see more.

I took Ezra to the TCU basketball game Saturday afternoon and snapped a pic with my iPhone of the little dude hanging out with the giant, inflatable horned frog in front of the arena. Going through my iPhone, I came across a bunch of photos I'd taken over the past several months. Time to share!

Enjoying some popcorn just before tip off.

Stylin' on the swing.

"Trust me, I'm a doctor."

Time to go shopping at the Fort Museum of Science and History.

"Bread.  I need bread."

Hiking at the Fort Worth Nature Center. 

"Ezra, I think you've left the trail."

"Which way is it?"

"I think it's this way."

Good times, amigos.
