Guess What we had for Breakfast?

Happy Saturday!

I LOVE being this boy's mom!

The H Family

I got an opportunity to "trade" with some great friends for photography shoots...It is hard when you are the photographer to get family shots...So when the H family approached me to trade, a family shoot for them, a maternity shoot for me, of course I said yes.

But then the pressure was on...I mean taking pictures for another photographer, and one who has been a professional longer than I have. Well that can be a little daunting. But it was actually fun! Except for the fact that we did it on the same day we moved...but hey, I wasn't going to lift anything heavy anyway!



we used a park right by the new house, and we had a lot of fun! I think we got some great shots, and their boys were awesome and animated!






It's nice to get individual shots with the kids too...I love these!





What a beautiful and fun family! Thanks H family! I can't wait for the maternity shoot in a few weeks! I am sure to be huge! :-)

Holden told me today the baby is a girl...the conversation went like this...
Me: Who's my favorite Boy?
Holden: Holden!
Me: Who's my favorite man?
Holden: Daddy!
Me: Who's my favorite baby?
Holden: A Girl!
Me: You think the baby's a girl? What if it's a boy?
Holden: Then we would have too many boys!, we already have me and daddy...
Me: So you want a little sister...
Holden: Yes, I want a sister and I want her to be just like MJ!

Tom and I looked at each other and laughed...he's so funny...

But he LOVES his cousin, and so do we!

For the record later he said he wanted a brother...so you never know...but he has always called the baby she...maybe he knows something?

More Babies:-)

Just one to show:-) The other one is still not with it's recipient...meaning I haven't gone to see the little one! bummer!

Most of you know we have a hard time getting Holden to eat what we eat...I know full well this is my fault, and he eats healthy food, its just that it would be easier if he joined us in dinner instead of having to make him something else...

So on the way home from Trader's we were talking about dinner, I was making chicken burgers, Holden who has eaten and liked chicken declared he wouldn't eat that and that he didn't like chicken...we talked about it awhile and finally he decided he would try ONE bite...Mostly because I told him Mr Jim (Tom's folks contractor and now a family friend and a favorite of the kiddos) ate chicken burgers, and Holden wants to grow big and tall like Mr Jim.

So at the dinner table, I asked him to try a bite, he refused...so after a bit of trying we gave up...

Holden started playing with something at the table...
Holden: "this is pretend cake, I'm going to eat it all up!"
Me: " You sure do like your pretend food...maybe you should eat some real food...How will you become big like Mr. Jim? Or are you just going to be a pretend big man"
Holden: "No I'm a WEAL(real) MAN! A WEAL MAN!"
to which we laughed hysterically...

too funny!

Donated

I have wanted to share my creations with a lot of people, for a while, thats why I make gifts, and sell things, but a while ago I decided that I would also donate some things if asked...SO my good friend told me she was in charge of the preschool her kiddos attend's auction for a fundraiser, and I offered to donate some stuff...she took me up on it...Then I had to decide what to give:-)

So I decided on Mr. Owl here...I just love him!



And I had some fabric left over from an order I made a while back, so I made a baby set, 2 burps and 2 bibs...the bibs really are the greatest! We still use these kind!



And of course I have to include a guitar shirt...this is the item I made for my nephew that made Tom say..."you should sell these" These are fun...

Just a little post to let you all know what I've been up to, besides moving and growing a baby of course!
