A full house! :)

A full house indeed.  We had friends in town last weekend with their three kids, ages 3, 2, and almost 1.  Pair that with our 2 year old and almost 1 year old and let your imagination run wild!  :)  It was loud, but it was a blast.  The kids had so much fun playing together and I had so much fun talking with other adults!!  Yeah!  This family is adorable and I had such fun photographing them.

My little ladies

These are a few of my favorites from the past week or so.  Some are fun, some are sweet, but they all make my heart pitter patter a bit faster.  I am so in love with these two!!

Mallory and Madison's first duet...many many more to come  :)

Madison on guitar.

Mallory on drums.

She's peek-a-boo-ing at big sister  :)

Is it just me, or did this kid get bigger over night?!?

Oh, I love love love her giggles.  One of her newest favorite things is saying "tickle mommy"...meaning she WANTS to be tickled.  Most of the time she starts laughing before I even get close to her  :)

This kid is so talented she can take pictures with the camera upside down!

Now here's a look of concentration.  For those that don't know.  Madison has finally decided to start crawling...and she is everywhere!!  She is such a happy babe now!

They adore eachother.

"pat pat pat" says Mal Grace  :)

If you're happy and you know it...clap your hands!

Going in for a smoochie!

I was trying a bit of reverse psychology to get Mal to smile.  "Don't you dare smile" I said.  It didn't work.  :)

She's a funny one.

See all my teeth?!?

the end.

Rooster :)

So last night "Rooster" (that's his name...Mallory is pretty creative when it comes to naming things) got to take his first trip to the beach.  It was pretty hysterical  :)  I love that my kids think that family outings to the beach with a rooster is completely normal.  Rooster seemed to like the beach, except for the wind part.  Next time, I'll bring my big girl camera and I'll put Madison in the front pack.  These were all taken with my 20-lb baby in one hand and my point and shoot in the other.  You should be very very impressed!  ha!  :)

Mallory was feeding Rooster crackers...

His little beard was blowing all over the place.

Blurry, yes.  But I like it.  :)

Good night beach.

Fabulous at 40!!

I did a photoshoot way back in September (when I first got my fancy dancy lens) for a friend of mine who was turning 40.  I came across them today as I was cleaning up my computer and couldn't believe I'd forgotten all about them.  I love these photos and the shoot was SO much fun!  I can only hope to look this fabulous when I'm 40!

This may be one of my favortie photos ever...

She's not just posing on a motorcycle...she actually drives them  :)

And another one of my favorites.  Simply beautiful.
