twinkle lights and cuddles.

yesterday was sawyer's finger food feast, but ill post those pics after i have aidan's tomorrow :)

this is from saturday, though. finally relaxing together :)



i had shoots all wkend - so ive been working my booty off. but today i did something for myself and tried out the twinkle lights and snow idea :)

you can see more details HERE <---- click! :) but here are some pics :)

and pose.

sawyer on thursday. it was chilly. but she wanted a pic in her boots so we ran out for 30 seconds. and im so glad we did.


her yelling at the dogs to get back inside LOL


yesterday, while reese napped, i tried to put everything together for their costumes. reese has a thing 3 shirt ;) but she's not going ToTing so she doesnt have the WHOLE outfit ;)














we also made halloween tees!!! wtg on my painting skillzzzzz!!

sunflowers. sort of.

so a friend of mine gave me a HOT TIP on some sunflowers. sweet. she was totally right, but GETTING TO THEM was a problem. there was a little place for me to hop the curb and park, but its on a busy street and i didnt want a cop to be like "wtf are you doing" and me have 3 gingers in hand looking confused.

so we went to the other side and walked one kid at a time - but they werent as good on this side. and it was hot. and buggy.

oh and thank you grandma M for the gorgeous dresses! they were the perfect fit!!

sawyer went first.


sometimes she still smiles like a bulldog.


then i make her open and close her mouth and she looks better.




she wanted sunglasses.


aidan went next. but she hated the bugs.




then we drove. up north. for these. which i loooove!!!

rofl reese's stink eye.


sweet laughing girls.




hahahah <3

swoon.


LOVE them!












spying on me!

storms and summer days.

so this was aidan today. its what she does on her summer vacation.

for anyone interested, we ran to the dollar store yesterday bc i wanted some cheap crafts. but what i got was better -- they have workbooks. like character workbooks for letters, numbers, colors, words, etc... and aidan LOOOVES this stuff.

so today, she played a bit. (p.s. all shot at 1.4)











oh and im sure some of you heard about the storms and tornadoes here in north texas last night.

EJ prepared the bathroom. just in case. the half bath in the middle of our house is solid, supposedly. so he packed it up with things we may need. on FB he wrote:

Better to be over prepared than wish you had something not on 'the list'. There is also electrical tape, extra batteries, both AA and AAA, phone chargers, camera gear, hd cam corder, a 2 gallon jug of water, camp stove, rope (150 ft of 11.5mm climbing rope) an ice axe (strong enough to get thru brick if needed), camp food for 3 days, an extra camel pak for 3L of water to be filled upon entry, lots of flashlights, shoes for everyone (closed toe) pants, medicine for the kids and us adults, instant ice pack, 1dt aid kit, extra rags, pants for kids and us, jackets..... Etc

fruity dresses.

aidan's dress will be used in a lemonade stand shoot, but for now...


















sawyer's has cherries :)










reese's is flowers, but kinda reminds me of watermelons :)
