Summer Time Fun

The weather here in Kansas has been absolutely beautiful for the past week. I can't explain how happy it makes me to drive with the windows down, to wear flip flops, and to take my child outside of the house without layers of clothing. We've truly enjoyed spending time outside, and since Jack never really wants to come inside, we've spent most of our time in the driveway and the yard.

I thought it was time for an update on our little guys development, so I've included photos of some of his favorite pastimes. He absolutely loves playing golf with the real child clubs that were given to us by Uncle Chuck, or with his plastic set. He's gotten quite good, and was actually hitting a golf ball with his real clubs today. Seriously? I even miss the ball sometimes and my "almost" 2 year old is hitting it...A-Mazing! :)
He's also having a great time playing baseball. Everyday we head out to the backyard and he asks for Mommy and Daddy to "hit". He likes to throw the ball to us and wants us to hit "up high". It's so cute, and how could I go wrong....he throws....I hit.....he runs after the ball....easy peasy! LOL
We've been enjoying the police cozy coupe, and he asks everyday if he can drive "Jack's car" in the driveway. He likes to take it down to the bottom of the driveway and go as fast as possible off the edge into the cul-de-sac (not real safe, but he lives on the edge I guess).
BUT, his favorite pastime is of course "driving" Daddy's truck. He will do anything to sit in the truck and pretend to drive. Not only does he know how to put the key in the ignition, turn it on and off, but he buckles his seat belt, messes with the radio volume and moves the steering wheel as though he is really driving. Best of all, he'll ask to give the truck a kiss nite-nite almost every evening, he's such a sweetheart!

So that's an update on our little angel, he really is a great kid, although mommy is struggling a bit with the fact that he rarely listens to anything I say. I should go ahead and take the word "NO" out of my vocabulary because he couldn't care less if I told him "no" or to "stop". I'm hoping terrible 2's doesn't last long.

I'm getting exhausted, so not only am I NOT going to proof read this blog post, but I'm going to end it rather poorly by simply saying, Good Night!! Mommy and the bun in the oven need to get some rest! xoxo

P.S....we are 14 weeks pregnant today!! I feel like this pregnancy is going so slow! :) Can't wait to find out if it's a girl or boy!!!

Patton Family Session

I had the opportunity to work with the Patton family a few weeks ago, and the entire experience was absolutely perfect. First of all, what a gorgeous family and secondly, they couldn't have been more laid back and easy to work with. We had a great time and were lucky to have an absolutely beautiful day at the Crossroads in Downtown KC. These are some of my favorites from our shoot, and I can't wait to work with the Patton's again in the future!












Baby Brother Graduates

I am so incredibly proud of my youngest brother, Cameron. I spent the weekend back in Indiana for his COLLEGE GRADUATION, that's right, my baby brother is now entering the "Real World"...WOW!!!

We had an absolutely wonderful weekend together as a family, and couldn't be happier about all that Cameron has accomplished in his college career. He is now gearing up for a move to Columbus, IN, where he has already accepted his first job! Love you, Cameron!
