Unamused. Extremely so.
We got her!
I had a few minutes to visit my brothers family back in December, most of which were spent taking pictures of Halle. I wish I remember now what we did to make her smile, but that first picture cracks me up.

Kendra & Hadley – Minneapolis
It’s official, I LOVE Minneapolis! I have more pictures to post from my trip, but first I did this photo shoot with this cute girl and her mama, who drove down from North Dakota! Kendra (along with some friends) runs a photography business in Fargo and I’m so flattered that she made the drive down to do some pictures! Of course, she did get to see her sisters while she was there as well (and they helped choose the location, thanks!). During my time with them I found out that Kendra has 3 sisters and 1 brother. So, in order – 2 girls, then a boy, then identical twin girls. That is MY family! So funny.
Kendra’s sisters gave us a general location for a shoot, basically a cool area of Minneapolis, and I searched for it on google maps and then did street view. I instantly found this amazing multi-colored wall. I may have to make another trip in the summer just to discover more spots like this!
I think this first one of Hadley looks so sweet. You can see the snow that was falling on us!
Isn’t it awesome?! I want one. Some building owner in Houston please do this.
Kendra managed to get this 12-month pettiskirt on Hadley’s 2-yr-old body (thank you elastic). Doesn’t it make you want to go buy one for your little girl?? I love her shoes and the gray shirt!
Drove to another spot that I happened to spot during the drive. Good thing I wore my rain boots as the snow was very deep and I was in the midst of it! I tried to clear a spot for the two, but Hadley kept complaining about her feet being cold if she was set down. So strange…:)
I did these all in the airport or on the plane today! There are tons more, but I couldn’t wait to get a few up :).
B Kiddos Sneak Peak
I have barely been able to look at the pics from this shoot so I just grabbed a few that caught my eye. Such happy kids! I love the way little Lily clasped her hands together here! She started cracking up and not even her mom had ever heard her laugh so heartily.
What little girl doesn’t like to dress-up? This one of Evie was particularly adorable.
LOVE this little outfit and that eye contact! Such a perfect little round face and pink lips.
Little Miss Sass
If you know Tessa, you know she is the epitome of sassy! It took quite the effort to get her dressed in what her mom and I wanted her in (I’ve never met a child with such a strong obsession preference for clothes). I think we were all a little relieved when Max turned out to be a boy since he’d have to be a very strong little girl to compete with a big sister like Tessa :). But wow, those blue eyes and that crazy curly hair of hers make for some darling pictures!
I love how red her lips look; I think it’s from being chapped due to the winter air, but it sure looks cute!
Can’t believe my little chica is already 4 years old!
My Favorite Title…
Is that of Auntie! I’m the proud Aunt of 8 1/2 nieces and nephews; the little girl on the way is going to disrupt our equal boy:girl ratio, but I don’t think anyone’s going to complain :). If you know me you know that I LOVE babies like a fat kid loves cake, but throw in some of my genetics and that love quadruples. Unfortunately, so far my siblings have failed to bring a child into this world that looks like me (even my twin, I mean, come on!), but gosh darn it, they still manage to make some pretty cute kids.
I’ll probably be sharing more of my family from the last six or so months, so for now I’ll kick it off with my little Claire. She recently cut some teeth and is starting to crawl!
She is a very picky baby when it comes to people (I wonder where she gets it…*cough*), but seeing as how I look just like her mama, I’ve been told that I’m probably her 3rd favorite person in the world.
This face was not staged. She seems to get a lot of pleasure from other people’s pain!
This next little monkey is who I get to see (along with his two younger siblings) TODAY. As soon as I pack my suitcase (I never fail to do it mere hours before I leave for the airport) I’ll dream of their sweet little faces that I get to tickle and smooch oh so soon. These rascals live in the blistery state of Minnesota, so today I went out looking for snow boots, only to discover most places aren’t carrying them anymore since Houston’s winter is practically over. SO, I bought rain boots. At least they’re waterproof, right??? I plan on wearing them over 7 pairs of socks.
So please forgive me if I taken a little longer than usual to respond to any emails for the next week. I’ll be getting my snuggle on (and chasing, swinging, building snowmen while trying to avoid frostbite, reading, wii-ing, hiding and seeking, and other such games).
