Catching Up

Since I have been absent for so long, I am going to do a quick catch-up post that will be mostly the photos I have been meaning to share.  Hopefully after this I can get back to a regular blogging schedule.

April

Mia found the wipes!!

Just like her sister....

 

May

 This girl.  Ha!

Skettty!!!

My sweet mama came to help us pack for Mother's Day!  Love you, Mom!!

My sweet, sweet family!  I can't beelieve everyone is looking and making a decent face!!

June

This is the rough life, you know??  Lounging on the swing with Mimi's phone ;)

Splish-Splash to Dream Land

Just thought I'd share a couple of videos of Mia-Bug.

 

This one was last week in the tub.  Like always, she loves the bath!  She is finally realizing how much she can do and how fun it is to splash!

 



 

 

 

Here she is sleeping.  I know what you're thinking... Really?  Why video a sleeping baby??

 

Well, I heard her making noises, so I went to pick her up, but this is what I found.

 



My sweet girl was dreaming :)





Splish Splash!

I have posted before how much Mia-Girl loves her bath.  Well, her love is only growing.  She is even learning to splash and play!  She kicks those little feet like they are going to paddle her away to a magical land.  Although she does smile quite a bit in the tub, she more often displays intense concentration. 

Just look at those sweet smiles :)

Mia-Girl has some big blue eyes, just like her big sister did.  That's right, I said did.  Miss Austyn's are getting a little bit greener each day.  She will end up a green-eyed girl like her mommy!  I wonder what Mia's will do...

Mia-Bug is motor-boating away!!

I can't believe just how fast she is growing! It seems each baby grows a little bit faster. I am sure that is because with each babe, life gets just a little crazier! It is a crazy chaos that I wouldn't trade for anything in the whole world :)



Mia's First Bath

Well, technically, her first bath was at the hospital the day after she was born.  This post is about her first bath here at home.

She wasn't too thrilled about it at first (is any newborn?), but after she warmed up a little bit, she was much better. 

I don't have much to say with this post, so just enjoy the pictures!



Days 49-56

I have got to get better at updating...

This is the latest in the project I have been working on this year.

Day 49

A Morning Bath

We don't usually take baths in the morning, but everyone fell asleep last night before we could get to it.  I think they enjoyed it :)

Day 50

Pa'Pa's Lil Captains

We spent this weekend at our family's camp at Toledo Bend.  Bryan's parents, brother, and his brother's two boys were there, also.  We had some long overdue relaxing family time.  Saturday, we took the boat out for a ride, and as you can see, it was a huge hit!

Day 51

Cousins

Every holiday/season we try to get pictures of all four kids together.  Since we moved, that has been hard.  I took this opportunity to snap some shots of these precious babies playing and having fun.  This is one of my favorites.

Day 52

Daddy's Little Golfer

Day 53

A Tea Party With a Princess

Bryan's nanny had a wicker furniture set that she bought for her own granddaughter, who is now 16.  Being that it was sitting at her house and not being used, she passed it down to Austyn, who was beyond excited!! She immediately set up a tea party with her besties :)

Day 54

My Vice

I LOVE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!!

Day 55

So the kids were playing outside this afternoon while I was doing some housework.  I peeked out the window and saw them riding together. I HAD to get the camera out for that one!

Day 56

(almost) Naked Golfer

Why are my kids happiest without clothes?  Are they the only ones?

Day 30

Here is part  two of our bathtub photo shoot.  My baby inked herself!  She looks cute though, right?

Day 29

Okay, please forgive me here, but I have to cheat just a little bit here.  Things have been crazy-busy around here, and it seems photography is where I have to bend a little.  We did a photo shoot in the bathtub, and I got so many great shots.  So, I am making G Day 29, and A Day 30.



365 Project 2011

So I have decided to attempt the 365 Project for 2011.  I will document my progress here.  Check out the link if you want to find out more, but basically it is a daily photo journal that documents your year.

I am having so much fun with it so far!  It is a great way for me to journal what is going on in our lives, while developing my photography skills at the same time.  I know these are baby steps, but I definitely feel like I am making progress.

And, I know, I know....I am supposed to be choosing one photo, but it is just so dang hard sometimes ;)
