Joy of Love ~ Day 2

Day two of the photo challenge is "How they look".  I could have just taken a picture of any of the girls, but then Peyton peeked out from behind the wall upstairs, and asked me to get her slippers out of the car cause she wanted to suprise me.

What would she suprise me with, you ask? Well, her outfit of course! This has become Peytons favorite outfit, and she wanted to wear it even though it's FREEZING outside today! Pair this outfit with her princess slippers that she wants to wear ALL. THE. TIME. and she is one happy girl!

This is how Peyton looks on any given day. Clip-clopping through the house in her "Princess slippers", with a smile on her face. Love it!

Love letters

I love the dollar spot at Target. I especially love their holiday stuff. That's why I bought these little mailboxes a year or so ago. I never knew what to do with them really, but they were cute and I thought I'd use them on valentines day for something, but never did.

So, my sister-in-law was using hers to write letters to her kids every day in February until Valentines day and I thought that was a fantabulous idea!

The girls LOVED being able to decorate their own mail boxes with loads of stickers, and I loved being able to use my new silhouette cutter to cut out vinyl for the sides. It was fun, and I hadn't used it yet, so this was a good time to try it out.

I cut out each of the girls names for their own mailboxes...so cute!

Decorating it them took a nice long while, and the girls love how they turned out! I love my little Lexie, who decided she didn't like it for some reason and tore them all off. So, it took even longer to do it all again, fun times!

Halli went crazy, then found two more mailboxes I had bought a long time ago, and decorated them for me and Kevin too.

Not to leave my little man out, here's JJ looking HUGE next to his little basketball. I love this little man, even if he is sick and not sleeping right now. He's still adorable.

Halli is obsessed with these mailboxes, and wants to stay up late every night writing notes. I love her and her letter writing self!:)

Joy of Love

I'll be spending the month of Feburary doing the Willette Joy of Love photo project. It's a daily photo prompt that is focused on someone/something you love. I think it's supposed to be geared toward a significant other, but seeing as how my significant other isn't always around, and my little munchkins are, I may be focusing on them a little more cause it's easier!

I'm excited to get to do this, hopefully it'll help me to look outside the box when it comes to photography. Plus we all know that the best way to get better at anything is through practice, am I right?

The prompt for day 1 was, "What they love". I had so many ideas of what I could photograph today, and this is what I ended up getting.

A little girl getting into things that aren't hers.

She loves my stuff...and I don't love that she loves it

. See that keyboard her dolls are playing on? She has pulled so many of the keys of this keyboard. I can see two right now as I'm typing that are sticking up all funny cause I can't get them back on right. dang girl! I love her to death though!

This last one was just a gorgeous picture of miss Peyton, and I couldn't resist adding it! Please ignore her drooling mouth full of food. Although, now that I've mentioned it, you can't ignore it can you?:)

I tried to get a photo of the girls fighting, but it didn't turn out very well...the picture, not the fight. Although, that didn't turn out too well either. I don't think anyway. I don't really remember, cause there were so many. Truthfully, that is really what they do. They fight. Alot. Sorry, not the topic of this post. Silly me. :)

She's a rockstar!

I love this girl and her fun imagination. Halli was never really big on dressing up, not that she didn't ever, but it wasn't a daily thing. Peyton on the other hand can't stop changing. I love it!:)

She'r ready to rock in that get-up, and she still looks adorable!

What we've been up to

A little bit of what's been going on in our house this past week.

I say a little, cause I'm not being very diligent with it. we've had more accidents than successes. But she has made it to the bathroom at least once a day, so that's good. I've found that it's harder this time around, cause I can't just stay home all week like I did with Halli and Peyton. There are lots of breaks, and lots of putting the diaper on so we can go somewhere.

We'll get there at some point, but for now, this is what we're up to.

Bathtime

So this blog is becoming an "all about JJ blog", sorry, he's what keeps me busiest right now though, so there ya have it!:)

Plus, you've got to have pictures of bathtime, don't you?

JJ has recently started splashing in the tub. He loves it, and I love watching him do it, just wish I didn't have to do the clean-up afterwards!

Okay, so he's not splashing in this one, but he is trying to play with whatever he can possibly reach. That's his second favorite past-time while bathing.

I love this next one, he leans back and kicks his legs up the side of the tub. It's hilarious how fast he can get those little legs moving!

Who can resist a picture of a chubby bum and some wrinkled little toes.

I could just eat him and all his rolls right up!

Handsome man

What can I say, I'm a sucker for a guy in workout gear. I always have been really.

When Kevin is dressed to go play ball...that's my favorite. Even better when he's actually playing.:)

So I suppose it's no different that those same feeling should hold true for our boy,

Yep, I think he looks pretty sharp in this get-up

I'm sure I'll see more than my fair share of him in his workout clothes. Lucky me!
