Not My Best Session….

I took my three crazy kiddos out this past weekend for our annual holiday card session….yes I am a bit early but I just want it done and off my “to do” list.  After a lot of wardrobe coordinating,  getting them all dressed and out the door, off we went.  Well… what is the saying….”the best laid plans”…… What a disaster.  Izzy was great but my two guys were soooo NOT cooperative.  Sam looks like he is being tortured in every photo and Ben was just a crazy, wild little stinker who would not stand still for a second.   I think I am just going to have to make these work in a card because I don’t think I have the  time or the strength to try this again.. ;)   If you happen to get one of my holiday cards this year, hopefully you will know what a pain two of my three kiddos were and won’t judge it to harshly. Ha! :)

Gorgeous Girl…Fabulous Hats…

I absolutely LOVE photographing this little lady!!!  She is such a doll and check out her gorgeous eyes!!  Stunning!!!  I asked Miss L to help model a few fabulous hats from my friend Lisa at Castlegate Crochet Boutique.  I think she wears them very well don’t you?!?!  Be sure to check out Lisa’s etsy site for some truly wonderful hats!!!

Miss L was loving the orange lollipop…nothing like giving a kiddo a lollipop right before dinner time….sorry for that one Miss L’s mom! ;)

Gumball Birthday Bash….

Last week we celebrated Izzy’s birthday with a gumball themed party….I wasn’t quite sure what we would do at a gumball themed party (it was Izzy’s idea) so we had kraftykidz come in and make a fun gumball craft with the girls.  We also had a bubble blowing contest which resulted in LOTS of big bubbles popping on faces and a fun little “photobooth” equipped with paper glasses, mustaches and glitter lips.  I think (hope) they had a great time.  :)

Unfortunately, my party photos didn’t turn out as good as I had hoped.   I was too busy with the actual party “stuff” and didn’t spend enough time taking photos.  I am soo bummed!  Note to self, next time I throw a party I should hire a photographer to take the photos! ;)

I have a few people to thank with the planning of this party!  They are all fabulously talented, creative women who do amazing work!!!

Thank you to Kim at The TomKat Studio for creating all of the wonderful gumball themed paper goods.  Be sure to check out her site!  Talk about inspiration!!!  She is a party genius!

Thank you to  Cristy of  Paperlili for making Izzy the coolest gumball shirt ever!!  If you are looking for ADORABLE tees for kids and moms be sure to check out her site!!!

Thank you to Lisa of The Cookie Jar for creating the most fabulous cookies!!!  I am truly blown away by her talent!!!

Thank you to my wonderful friend Tristian of Gracylou Originals.  She created the gorgeous hairpiece Izzy is wearing specifically for her gumball party!  Thank you!  Thank you!

Back To School….

Wow it’s been a busy week!  Two of my three kiddos celebrated birthdays this week and went back to school.    Izzy started on Wednesday and Sam started kindergarten today….I have to say that I was REALLY sad to see him go.  I know that he is/was totally ready but it still made me a little sad to see him get on that bus like such a big kid.  :(

Izzy first day of school….

Sam on his first day (today) with his buddy Miss M….

Cover Girl….

Hope you had a great weekend!  We had a weekend full of girlies and gumballs, the theme to Izzy’s birthday bash (more on that later).

We are very excited that a photo I took of Izzy made the cover of the current issue of Kids Trends Weekly! :)

Happy Friday!!!!

I can’t believe summer vacation is coming to an end.  The kiddos start school next week.  I am sooo bummed!  Here are just a few “snapshots” from our week so far…

The most exciting thing that has happened is that Sam lost his first tooth!  It’s so strange to see my guy missing one of his bottom front teeth… :)

Ben FINALLY got a haircut….some drastic before and afters (in my opinion). ;)

Izzy and some friends had a lemonade stand…..
