Our kids are all BFFs, so I’m glad there will be another one joining the ranks of screaming and shrieking!

Yes, I promise I will blog more families and photo sessions…I’ve just been busy!

Had to get a photo of his “fur” for mom 

Smitten.

Fact: I love photographing babies in their sleepy stage because they let you put them almost anywhere without a fuss!

Lily’s favorite thing? Mauling mama with kisses:

Fact: Babies + Fairy Wings = Irresistable

He will be the only child at least for a while

She had this shirt custom made for her by Vivid Rose Clothing! Love it!

Drag queen Jackie O? Your guess is as good as ours…

Fact: Every summer, I question why I live in Arizona as I am bathing in sweat and shooting in 109 degrees. I suppose the winters make up for it though…hurry up, winter!

What is it about the poor third child? They get all the hand-me-downs, rarely get photographed, and when they do, don’t even get their faces wiped. We still love you though, Char-Char…SO SO SO much.

And how could I not start with this photo??? How badass is that? Very.

Kelsi will be leaving for her mission on Wednesday! Woohoo!

And who doesn’t love a Michael Jackson impression?

The whole crew:

How cute are these little ones? Love the pops of yellow!

And what proud father doesn’t love balancing their child on their hands?

Fact: I am naturally a quiet person, but somehow I morph into having diarrhea of the mouth at photo shoots. I guess if you want to get to know a lot about me, book a session. LOL

“You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack… it grew by one. So there… there were two of us in the wolf pack… I was alone first in the pack, and then Doug joined in later. And six months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought, “Wait a second, could it be?” And now I know for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack.”

Beard + BluBlockers + Baby Bjorn + baby = …

Beautiful baby:

I love my little cereal girl-these next 2 images are so cute

She is such a good little and big sister

Lipstick explosion

A few from her day today-this is bath #1 (of 3)-she’s my little mermaid

Favorite phrases:

1. “Bum Stripe”
2. “Silly Billy”
3. “I tooted on you”

Happy birthday, sweet girl!

To start with, these are Jasper’s monster boots. I want some. Size 5 1/2 please.

Why they don’t make these tunnels for grownups, I don’t know.

Balloons are AMAZING.

Going to the park is a very serious matter.

This is “Parent Face.” You know you do it, too.

Jasper adds real grain to my photograph.

This is Jazzy’s crew, and his snort face.

Jasper wore lots of hats. He liked zero of them.

Okay…are you ready? Are you REALLY ready? LOVE:

THE DOG ATE MY CAKE!

Check out more photos from Jazzy’s first year here and here.

FACT: Jasper’s mom and I go way way way back we think to middle school, maybe even to elementary school here in Arizona. Jasper’s dad and my husband go way way back to high school in California. Yes, we agree, it’s like the Twilight Zone.

Dan and the girls couldn’t resist hopping up with her.

I can sit up! (for a minute or so)

Things I like:

Sucking my thumb (and anything else I can get my hands on)
Sitting up (kind of)
Rolling (all around the room)
Peas and Carrots
Footed PJs
Scratching my face
Being absolutely adorable and happy

FACT: Charlotte is my first baby to NOT take a pacifier. This is bad and good at the same time. She is also my first thumb sucker, which is absolutely the cutest thing ever.
