A day at the Carnival

 My good friend Amy Morgan and her friend Tara Mansius took these family pictures last month. Amy is one of the most creative people I have ever known. As for Tara she has been a professional photographer for many years. I have seen her work and always wanted to have her take some pictures of either our family or my boys. When Amy asked me if I would be interested in doing this shoot I jumped at the opportunity. I LOVE THESE PICTURES! This photo shoot was so laid back and fun. I don't think Baylor even noticed that it was a photo shoot... between the balloons, popcorn and rides. (Baylor and Logan did 3 rides!) I can't think of a better bribe...

Amy and Tara are now working together offering stylized photography sessions. They will being doing more shoots like this at the Clark County Fair. They are also offering stylized photo shoots in other settings. They have some amazing ideas! Check out their photography blogs!

Easter Weekend

The day before Easter was absolutely gorgeous!!! Grandpa and Grandma May did an Easter egg hunt for the grandkids. Logan had an idea to ride our bikes to their house. It's about 4 miles. It was so nice so we did. The only problem was it took us almost an hour and we were late. The bike ride was awesome... but next time we're gonna save it for a time when we don't need to be somewhere!

Logan and I decorated a couple eggs for the egg decorating contest at Lori and Verne's. Logan did the Cow I did the Chick.

Grandma May hides an egg with each kids name on it. When they find their egg they turn it in for a special prize.

Digging into all their candy.

Baylor has always loved 'Grandpa's Chickens'

Easter Sunday...Ready for Church!!

When Wesley woke up I brought him downstairs even though Logan and Baylor were still asleep. I figured he wouldn't notice or care about his Easter basket, so we could just wait. I was wrong!! That's all he wanted... and when I put it up he screamed his head off. I felt so bad! I often underestimate how smart he is getting because he is 'the baby.'  Poor little guy! He loved his Easter basket!!

After church we went the May's and the Chapman's. It was a busy day but so fun! What kid wouldn't want to see all their Grandparent's and cousins in one day??? The Easter bunny still brings a basket for Logan and I at my parent's house. I LOVE THAT! My Mom also gets a basket for the Grandsons. She made each of them one of these adorable knit tennis ball frogs. We have a growing collection of knit toys, we love them!

 

Put me in the Zoo!

A couple weeks ago the weathermen said that the weather was going to be nice so Logan scheduled a day off. This was our first time taking the kids to the zoo together. (I have gone with friends but never with Logan!) It was fun to do something fun together as a family on a weekday. We brought our video camera and filmed all the animals. Logan made the cutest zoo movie for the boys to watch. They love it (and so do I!) 



It was cold outside when we got there so we hung out in the giftshop for awhile and played with the toys. Logan and Baylor could have done this the whole time and they would have been happy.

I love the farm section of the zoo. I just think it's so cute! Baylor of course loves the farm animals.



 I didn't take very many pictures since we brought the video camera... but Wesley did come too!



Wesley is One!



Our baby turned one on April 14th!! We had a birthday party with all of our family. He had a good time eating pizza and playing with all his new toys with his cousins. He was the cutest little birthday boy!!

Cousins MaryLeigh, Olivia and Evelyn.

Cousin Oliver

I made him his own little cake to dig into. My Mom pointed out that he got a lot messier then Baylor did. That's cause Baylor had a cupcake... I think I liked that better!
Oh well though, it was fun!

Cousin Brooklyn- the unicorn!

I'm weird, I think he looks so cute from behind,
especially in his jeans!

We got Wesley this little toy that he can walk with or sit on. He has never taken a step while standing. (He just barely started standing.) We were shocked to see him walk across the room with this toy! It's almost like he decided, 'Well I'm one I guess I better grow up!" He was smiling ear to ear with all his new toys. I'm glad he had a fun time at his party.
We love our little Wessie!!!!!!!!

Birthday Boy

Okay not quite. BUT his birthday is coming up... this Thursday! I asked Logan's sister Lindsi to do this little photoshoot for Wesley. I'm tickled by how cute they turned out.

Thanks again Lindsi!!!!!!!!!!

He looks a little spoiled with a cake and a sucker... but that's what it took to get him to cooperate!
