We're Here!

I'm so behind on blogging but life has gotten busy for us this past week! I'll get up to date real soon! :)

10 on 10 | September

For those of you who follow my blog, you know I am an avid fan of The Bloom Forum. It is a wonderful place where I can learn, grow and share. This month I bring you a new project and a new opportunity for me to document my family. Plain, uncensored, and real. It is not only a way for me to join a fabulous group of girls for some photo fun, it is a way for me to connect with my family and remember the little things about life that make it so sweet. This project is pretty simple: 10 photos in one day | taken roughly every hour for 10 hours | posted on the 10th of the month. I hope you join me on this new photo journey and then head on over to Bay Area Photographer Alison Crane,  to see her images for the day. xoxo

7:10am | an early start to this morning...but her smile makes up for it

8:00am  |  a little bored, waiting for her big brother to wake up

9:15am  |  his crooked smile makes an appearance at breakfast

11:00am  |  rice cereal is always better when eaten with your hands!

1:10pm  |  imitating mommy and working his camera

2:00pm  |  a quick snack shared with a friend before naptime

4:30pm  |  enjoying a late afternoon run through the sprinklers

4:50pm  |  his favorite pastime...a boy can never have too many cars

5:45pm  |  all smiles while experiencing the "exersaucer"

8:15pm  |  a late night game of match on the iPhone

Wedding Bells!

Unfortunately we were not able to stay in Utah to see the actual wedding so these images will have to suffice. I am so very excited for my mom and Chuck to start the next chapter of their lives. I think they are meant for each other! What an AMAZING location Chuck found for them to get married. So very beautiful, as was the bride ;).

Chase Goes To Preschool!

And we both got through the day with no tears! I cannot believe how fast my little man is growing up. I remember thinking about preschool shortly after he was born. I am not sure why it was on my mind but at the time preschool seemed like forever from now. Well, forever from now was today and I was so proud of him as he made his grand entrance into the unknown and mastered the day. He's in a three year old class even though he won't turn three until October. It didn't phase him at all that he was younger than the rest of the kids. He marched right in, found his spot at the play doh center and enjoyed free time while I put his things away. The hardest part was leaving before class started. I'm a little controlling (duh!) and it was so hard to walk away and have no idea what he did for the next three hours. The teacher said he was great and Chase said he had a fun time and will definitely go back for more. Still, I wish he would have told me a little more about what he did at school but all I really got out of him was that he went on a bridge (recess I'm assuming), had his snack (carrots and string cheese), and played. Not really the detailed description I was hoping for, kid ;). 

Bathtime the night before

He looks so small!

 Daddy came to pick him up with me...

Out for a post class lunch!

Audrey @ 4 Months!

Wow. I am definitely behind in blogging...we have been busy bees around here! Here are Audrey's 4 month pics for now. I thought I would switch it up and use this blue chair for the rest of the year so you could see how she is growing in relation to the chair but I think I like my white background better. This one is distracting me! 

Anyways, this month Audrey LOVES her hands. Plays, eats, stares and generally enjoys them for the better part of the day. She is rolling consistently from front to back, talks A TON more than Chase (but still cries a lot more than he did!). Her reflux is getting way better and she even let Ah and Pa take care of her this past weekend without too much trouble. She is waking up a bit more at night than she had been, but I attribute that to her lack of interest in food during the day and then hunger at night. I'm working on switching things up for her, and she even has had her first solids experience! More on that to come :)...xoxo
