Project 366

My blog has pretty much been dead for the last few months :(  Sad but true.  I had a busy Fall season editing other family's photos, which is fabulous!  But, I didn't want to spend much more time on the computer if I didn't have to.  I miss blogging and definitely don't want to miss all of Colby's little milestones.  Whenever I want to know when Jackson did something, I usually just check the blog :)

So, I'm going to do a Project 366 (I corrected the 6 back to a 5 a couple times before realizing it must be a leap year).  BUT, the best part is I'm going to do it on my iphone.  I am not about to go carrying my work camera around with me every day.  I would even bet myself that I would break it toting it around everywhere.  It will be saved for special shoots and memories.  (I HAVE a fabulous special shoot with the 2 boys in my head that we're about to attempt.)  So, iphone is with me every day, so I will attempt the Life Passes in an Instagram Project!  Pictures download to flickr with a click, hopefully I can find a way for them to upload to the blog with a click too.

Who's with me?!

Happy New Years!  Having a hard time getting out of bed. Donnie and I went to Sierra Nevada's New Years Party last night. It was FABULOUS! Definitely going again next year.


The Pioneer Woman's Black Eyed Pea Dip

Really sad taking down this year's tree.  The most beautiful silver tip from the Lattas.  A giant 11 foot wonder.

Happy New Year!

2011 was definitely a great one!

Merry Christmas!

The boys and Santa!

The boys saw Santa!  Jackson was nervous, yet rambled off his list Red Ryder BB Gun style when Santa asked him.  Our pictures were iphone style since Santa was free.  Instead of paying for Santa, we paid for a horse-drawn carriage ride, just the four of us, through downtown.  The boys got some oohs and aahs and it was so much fun!

Happy 6 Months!

Colby, Colby, Colby, we love you SO much.  I will give you a proper 6 month picture post in a few days.  You are so mellow and adorable.  Daddy's little mini-me and a mama's boy.  Not really interested in food, we started the day before Thanksgiving.  I will have to post the video of that because it's hilarious.  Not much of a sleeper, but such an easy-going dude.  We love you bunches.

Happy Halloween!

Birthday Weekend

Lucky little Jackson didn't have a 'party', but instead had three days of celebration.  Cupcakes at preschool, cupcakes at the Harvest Party, and a chocolate cake with strawberries on his birthday.  For his birthday dinner he picked corndogs, french fries, and strawberries.

Happy Birthday Jackson!

Today you are 3!



We brought cupcakes to celebrate at preschool this week.  The teacher said to have such a happy 4th birthday.  I said you were turning 3 and she was shocked, I guess since you're already in the three year old class.  She said you're just so mature and what a great job we've done.  She makes us feel pretty good about you :)



For your birthday you wanted a "Roary Race Car" and a "Girl Camper".  Of course we had no idea what these really are.  So, when the girl camper finally came on TV, you showed me.  It's a Barbie camper.  So cute and funny.  You said, "It's a camper where you can relax, watch TV and take a bath, and somebody gets to drive," just like a little commercial yourself.  Oh those silly Barbie girls.



We took you to the store and you were all for the Playmobil Family Camper.  Whew.  You really just wanted a camper to play with and had only seen it in a Barbie commercial.



You are a talking machine.  Thank goodness for DVD players in cars because without one, I think we wouldn't get a word in.



You are kind, gentle, and loving.  The best big brother.  You ask to hold your little brother at least once a day.



You like hamburgers, candy, cupcakes, broccoli, egg sandwiches, and apples.  Apples are your favorites and you could eat five a day.



Happy Third Birthday!!!

Happy 5 Months!!!

{2 days late}



Happy Monthday Colby!  You are 5 months.  And such a joy!  It seems this month you've suddenly grown up.   You can grab things, play with things, roll around, and love the exersaucer.  You turn around and look at everything.  You sit in your highchair with us for meals, even though you aren't getting any.  You're so patient and observant.  We just hope you stay our mellow kid :)

Naptime

Naptime has gone away in our house and we miss it a lot!  Unfortunately, even though Jackson isn't taking naps, doesn't mean that he doesn't need one.  4pm sometimes looks like this,



And here he is a year ago :)
