Happy Happy Birthday to You from Me


I can’t believe it’s been two years since I had this little cutie pie! I remember always wondering if I would love my second baby as much as my first-because I loved Abbie SO much. Of course, Brooklyn came along and I love her just as much. She is bursting with personality and sillyness, and is such a joy. Our girls love each other so much, which is such a blessing-who could ask for anything more?
Without further adieu, here are some of the many faces of Brookie!


This is my favorite-it reminds me of how I smile :)

Brooklyn got a LOT of Yo Gabba Gabba toys for her birthday. I used to be baffled at the popularity of this show, but it’s grown on me. And Brooklyn is mesmerized by it, which I am thankful for when I need it…
Toodee is her favorite:



She also loves Boots the Monkey. Those of you who follow me on Twitter know how much I < 'sarcasm> LOVE < '/sarcasm> Dora. Of course, we oblige because she loves it.


Mid-shoot, Brooklyn saw the park, and couldn’t focus for the rest of the day. I liken it to the dogs on “Up” with squirrels.

Happy birthday my sweet little girl! I love you!

Kevin and Amanda

Okay, I think if I could swap photogenicality (yes, I just made up my own word), I would probably trade with Amanda. Perfect smile? Check. Perfect photographable laugh? Check. Cute, natural posture and movements? Check. Kevin did a great job, too, don’t get me wrong! These 2 have actually been married about 2 1/2 years and haven’t really had any photos taken! I can’t even believe it! Now, they should have PLENTY to choose from, and promised to get in front of the camera more often. Check them out:

First we hung out in the city:
KA-9
KA-34
KA-76
KA-82
This is my favorite angle :)
KA-53
Then we decided to do some mountain climbing (kind of):
KA-105
KA-115
Then we ventured out into the country (kind of) with a few remnants of wildflowers still left:
KA-123
KA-135
KA-143
I had weeds in my pants for the rest of the day, but that’s just how I roll.
KA-150
KA-161
KA-170
KA-177
And some fun:
KA-192
KA-180
