Family pictures

The super talented Staci Davies took these pictures of the three of us on Saturday night.  I was a bit distraught during the shoot because my little son was oh so ornery and not cooperative AT ALL, but Staci is amazing and managed to catch some good ones, even with the crying!  I am so thrilled with how these ones turned out and can't wait to see the rest.  I love the candid shots.  Aren't my boys so handsome!?!

I really wasn't kidding when I said that my son has chiclets for front teeth!  He has a pretty gnarly grill right now!  Gotta love this stage of teething!

Tasty!

When mom refuses to hand out snacks in the car on the way home from a long day of hiking (or being packed around, in this case)...

One would naturally resort to sucking on tootsies, right?!

Luckily these were clean tootsies that had been in shoes and socks all day!

It's official...
My son is a little con artist!
For some reason this past week,
he has fought taking naps and going to bed.
He has cried for over ten minutes each time I've put him in his crib.
I am typically pretty stubborn about his sleeping and don't usually let him out but every once in a while I'll get him up and let him snuggle me.
These are really the only times that I get snuggles from my boy.

Well... this week, he figured me out!
He has learned that if he snuggles with me,
I hold onto him longer before I but him to bed.
I've only done it a few times this week,
but he's got it down!

This morning when I went to put him down for a nap,
he plopped his head down on my shoulder as soon as I said it was time to go to nap.
It was pretty hilarious!
It's incredible how fast little ones learn to manipulate their parents!

He did the same thing tonight when I picked him up to put him to bed.
Chris noticed too and was amazed that he actually did it!
What a funny little boy I have!

Today is a good day!

Today is a good day.

Got GREAT news from the doc today.

Tam. and Sul. are doing their jobs! Phew!

Drake and I celebrated at Arby's.

Drake thought the chocolate shake was pretty delicious!

My boyfriend got to come home to me today!

I love Tuesdays!

He's off to school, but I get to have him home with me at night.  Phew!

Pops finished the "castle" tonight!

It is incredibly cool!

Drake loves it already.

We will be spending hours and hours sliding and swinging.

I have one spoiled baby!

(much more to come about this big project)

Today is a GREAT day!

Just one more!

I couldn't resist!
I had to post just one more!
Sorry Snipers... I had to!
Those shades are just too "steezy" to be left out!

Love you buddy!  Don't be mad at me!

Dear Melissa,

I came across these pictures just now and decided to post them for your viewing pleasure!



If I remember correctly, this was Christmas of 2004.
I don't think I've ever seen Snipes more excited about a present than he was of this old DI blazer.
Both he and Nick were so stoked about their DI finds.
Gotta love the pose, the skinny jeans, (that he most likely "altered" himself) and the moccasins.
I have to say... you have yourself one sexy man!

Love the boy, just not so sure about the attire!
Luckily though, he has you to keep him in check!
The jeans are still being "altered" but at least he doesn't have to point his toes to get his feet through the holes!

Anyway... like I said, just thought you might get a good chuckle from these!  I sure did!

xoxo 

*** oh and how bout that hair?!? :)  It looks mighty "sweet bro-ish" in that last pic, if you ask me!
