surprise!

“I caught you mister…”

Did you know that your cabinets are home to wonderful treasures?!?!  Jay just found out and I was just made aware… maybe Daddy will realize now just how pressing the child-locks really are (hint, hint!!)

I have said it before and I am sure I will say it again, but he really is a cute little trouble maker!

I love how Piper is looking away in this one- "if I can't see it, it isn't happening"

for Nan :-)

If you noticed Nan’s comment on the last post she mentioned outtakes from our shoot- so Nan because I love ya (and I meant to put these up with the last post) here they are!

While we were taking pictures Jay was sitting on Jamie’s shoulders and while he was up there he spit up a little.  Normally this wouldn’t nearly be as funny; however, it took the spit up a good 15 minutes to seep through Jamie’s hair (it’s wild and sticks up a bunch) and reach his scalp.  When he finally realized we had almost finished taking pictures (so it was in his hair in most of the pictures) and I couldn’t stop laughing long enough to help him clean it off.

what's even funnier now is how nonchalant Jay seems to be during all of this

Oh and because I love these of Nan and her fellas, I will share them too… isn’t she great and her boys are pretty superb too!

beautiful, just beautiful!
one of the many reasons I love this girl

holiday cards

I love, love, love sending (as well as getting) holiday cards each year and I get so excited to start sending them out.  This year Jamie, Jay and I met up with Nan, Jeremy and Leyton to get family photos for the cards- I took theirs, she took ours and man-o-man do I love how they turned out!!  I am super, duper lucky to have a wonderful and talented friend, Nan, who is willing to put up with my crazy ideas (trespassing in an orange grove to get family photos done) and then design my holiday card each year.  She is amazing, trust me, and I love everything that she has ever done for me and she’s done a lot.

Since, I sent them the week before Christmas and I am assuming everyone has already gotten them; I am going to post a few more from that day that didn’t make it on to the card but are too good not to share…

a picture of the ginormous pile of cards that we sent before they were dropped off a the post office- we send close to 80 each year

precious, just precious
one, two, three- wee!! probably my favorite from the day
