play date fun.

We had another fun play date with our friends Morgan & Peyton.

 The girls had fun playing while the moms had fun chatting and snapping pictures, haha.

 The sun was as bright the colors in these pictures. It was so beautiful out, but I'm glad to be enjoying some quiet time & AC while the girlies rest.

Where's Josie?!

There she is!!

I've been loving these messy-bun pig tails on Maddie lately..

she looks worn out in this picture- ready for a little nap

this girl know how to work the camera- as soon as I pointed it at her she "cheesed"!

We had fun today see you girls soooon!!

xo.

Just some more fun pictures with my new lens.. can't wait to get some new fresh faces in my pictures!

My first session is next Monday & I'm so excited!

I probably won't put my camera down until then- lots of fun ideas brewing :]

Don't you love the color & texture of this blanket? I got it from IKEA on sale!

I have been playing with my new lens all day- and of course my "models" ... Here are just two pics from today- I'm too busy to put more on, but wanted to share..

Sunday fun-day.

This is just me playing with my camera & the girls.. gotta love a brick wall..

This is all Maddie .. from the accessories to the pose. She is such a girl.

Gotta love these baby blues..

 Josie- necklace in mouth- of course..

these girls are great practice :]

pictures by Carmen.

I know my blog has been flooded with pictures of the girlies lately but, hey, can you blame me..

I promise something different next time, maybe :]

A couple months ago we went to a park with our friend Carmen she is amazing at what she does.

She has taken pictures for us many times.. as you can see.. she never fails to capture some great moments.

I have alot more but wanted to share my absolute favorites. I am trying to decide on a couple canvas pictures of the girls.. let me know your thoughts friends!!

Thank all you ladies at Blink of an Eye Photography 

adorable

can you tell I love these dresses too?

love it

.. does that not just mealt your heart?!

Of course the girls had no problem getting in the huge pots.

These are perfect.

It was a little chilly that morning. I love how Maddie's nose is a little pink in this picture. She has such a sweet and innocent look here.

two year anniversary.

I don't know how we let it get past us- maybe that's just what happens when you have a busy life with little ones- but Bry & I forgot our anniversary! Well, almost, forgot. I remembered tonight, we just laughed.

It is our two year wedding anniversary today.

We spent the night together with our girls, which is the best way to celebrate anyway.

Happy Anniversary!

i love you

fathers day [weekend].

We had a wonderful Fathers day. Since Bry was out of town all weekend the girls were very happy to be with him on Fathers day.

This year we made 'homemade' gifts for him..

I helped the girls make their handprints in little stepping stones.

Maddie did the painting for both, she insisted on only coloring inside the hands, she such a two year old.

We also had some yummy strawberry shortcake

[heart shaped]

with ice cream waiting for him when he got home.

I really think the girlies enjoyed it more ;]

We went to Bry's cousins' graduation party this Sunday too.

It was for our cousins Alle [who graduated high school] & Andy [who graduated from college]

I loved these personalized Jones soda bottles they had made for Alle..

and of course the cutest little girls around..

Its a miracle! My husband got a GOOD picture of me and the girlies!

This is my new favorite of us three.

xo.

happy Father's day.

Happy Father's Day.

to the best Daddy in the world.

from the luckiest little girls in the world.

We love you.

Maddie & Josie

baby Olive & randoms.

We had our friends Lauren & 'baby Olive' [that is what Maddie has always called her] over to play. Now that she is crawling she does not want to sit in one spot! I, of course, wanted to take her picture and she, of course, just wanted to crawl around! We were just playing in our playroom & I got some super cute pictures of her..

disclaimer// i have been playing with an editor program.. so bare with me. i'm still finding my niche :)

Maddie named one of her babydolls 'baby Olive'..  She is such a doll .

This picture is a little blurry, but I loved it!

We always have a good time with them!

So now for the random..

I am getting ready to invest in a new lens for my camera.. I am thinking about the 28-135mm  .. I'm not looking to spend too much money. Any advice or suggestions? I can't wait to get it and play with it! Hopefully before we go to California in August..

OMG. I almost forgot.. I'm hoping all goes as it should.. but our wonderful cousin, Alex, got us tickets to a taping of Price is Right!!! I'm so excited, I have always wanted to do this, is that corny? .. I was bummed when Bob Barker left and I hadn't gotten to go, but I love Drew Carey, so I think know it will be a blast!

I need ideas for Father's Day?!
