Bath Time Fun

Tonight, I decided to get out of my slump and get the camera out. I’ve been super lazy lately when it comes to photos. Brock refused to look at the camera for the most part. That should be fun when I do his 18 month photos soon! ;)

So, while the boys were contained, I snapped some photos.

Brock’s brown eyes are so different to photograph than Gavin’s blue eyes. They just look…. dark.

Peek-a-boo!

Cars in the bathtub. I love Gav’s wrinkly fingers here.

Baby eyelashes and a pouty bottom lip due to his bulldog under bite

I love him.

He was being a water fountain. Obviously, I couldn’t get a photo of his leg sticking out behind him ;)

Feels good to get the camera out again. I think some new gear (soon!) will help with the slump also!

A is for…. | 52 week project

Well, hello 2012! Since I failed at the 365 project last year, I decided to do something different and maybe more fun this year. A 52 week project. A friend of mine started a FB Page – Photo 52: ABCs. Basically, it’s a photo a week with a corresponding letter. We’ll go through the alphabet twice. I plan on turning mine into ABC books for the boys. We’ll see ;) I’m determined this year!!!

This week’s letter (obviously): A

A is for Angry Birds

Next week: B – Any guesses on what B is for? :)

 

 

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

I’m a part of an all female message board. I got this idea from there and also Pinterest :) I showed Gavin what I wanted to do with the fake snow and he was so excited! There was no bribing, no fighting, nothing. He just sat where I asked and did what I wanted him to do. It was like he wasn’t my real kid! ;)

Here are the results:

First few blows and I realized we needed more snow….

Then it was perfect! <3

So perfect, I decided to add a hat :) Thank you Renee’s Crochet Shop and her FB

Then, he decided to get silly. So, I snapped away and got this <3

Can’t forget Brocky.

Note: Today, Brock had his scopes. He did great. No results yet…. Blog post coming soon ;)

Love!

Me with my boys

Then we decided to go for a walk…. but not before Gav kissed his wee bro after stealing his hat!

Beautiful weather for November!

Pumpkin Patch 2011

Wow, I’m a horrible blogger….

anyway…

We finally made it to the pumpkin patch this year! My schedule for October was CRAZY busy. Next year, I promise it will not be like that. No more putting our plans on the back burner. The boys had a blast. We only picked one pumpkin out to bring home because we already had three waiting at home. It’s crazy how they’ve grown this past year.

Disclaimer: Ignore the wacky processing done to these photos. The sun was horrible and I was lazy when editing ;)

Examples of how much kids grow in a year:

The most dramatic change: B at 3 months vs 15 months

He was soooo fat!

Even Gav has grown a ton!

Both of my growing boys!

Gav riding the trikes. Crazy to think that B will be able to ride on next year. Time flies. I love having things like this once a year to compare things :)

My Scarecrows ;) Don’t you just love B’s little fingers?

Horrible photo, but had to share. Gav was going down as this girl decided to run up. No injuries for either party ;)

The train. Gav’s favorite!

He did not crash into that girl.

This spider web was so cool! Photo 1: “Mom, help me!”

B, just chillin’… as usual.

Big guy.

Mr. Personality

Best sibling photo of the day.

Mr. Blue Eyes <3

Picking the perfect “punk”

B still looking while Gavin tuckers out ;)

After a refreshment, he’s ready to jump on the big pillow trampoline!

My brown-eyed boy

Choo choo!

Hanging out with the animals.

Can you tell B has never ridden on anyone’s shoulders before?!
