Ashley & Shaun...Soon-to-Be Wed

I got to take some fun pics of Michael's baby sister, Ashley, recently and I just love how they have turned out so far!!  I still have many more to weed through and edit but I wanted to at least post a few so I don't get a little overwhelmed!  Aren't they the cutest couple?!

Now, if this isn't the date then we'll just have to do this shot all over again:)

There you go, little miss!  I hope you enjoy these!  We couldn't be any happier for you two!!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, friends!  And what an amazing year this has been!  2011 was seriously the best year of my life!  All thanks to our beautiful baby boy, Maguire!  He has brought so much joy to our lives.  He makes me want to be a better person and I am so thankful for that!

We were so lucky to be able to spend New Years Eve with some of our closest friends.  Our little man had so much fun playing with his girlfriend, Riley.  Isn't she so cute?!  I just love watching these two grow up together!  I can't believe they are almost ONE!!!! 

He's such a little love!  Look at him peeking at his momma!

And introducing the newest addition to our fun little group....Miss Emery Jade!  Hello there, beautiful!

New Years day was spent playing, playing, and more playing!  We have done a couple of little projects before making handprints and footprints with fingerpaint but today was really the first time that he went all out with it!  He is really funny about textures and gets the most disgusted look on his face!  It really is cute!

Hard at Work!

Maguire's latest obsession has been throwing crap into our big bathtub!  He can spend what feels like hours (ok, like ten minutes) pulling toys out of his toybox and throwing them in!  It is the best distraction while this momma is trying to get ready!  Not only that, but it's hilarious to watch!  He works really hard at it!

He had to wrestle each stuffed animal before he tossed it in....all BOY, I tell ya!

Ahhhh, all of these precious memories we are making!  I just love it!  I can't wait to see what 2012 has in store for our little family!

Merry Christmas!

It has been such a busy couple of months!  I committed myself to savoring every second of the holiday season with my family so I put my blog to the back-burner!  Well, I have a little down-time this evening and am sitting here counting my blessings, and thought what a perfect opportunity to document some of our favorite memories we've been busy making!  Starting with Maguire's first visit to see Jolly Old St. Nick!!!  So here are some fun pics of our little man, in no particular order (cuz daddy just came in and started up "The Hangover, Part 2" and it's cracking me up so I have to go watch it!!)

He was so chill during the whole visit!  He didn't seem scared but wasn't overly excited either. 

It was so precious seeing him sitting there, looking up into Santa's eyes!  Just like he was taking it all in.

A rare pic of Mommy and her boy!

Standing like a big boy!

This is his completely disgusted look because he didn't care for the texture of the snow!  So cute!

Such a cool setup!

And one more of the big boy!

Just finishing this wonderful day off with some freshly popped popcorn in our new popcorn maker!  So de-lish!  I'm off to finish watching a movie with my guy!  A perfect ending to a perfect Christmas day!

Merry Christmas!  From our family to yours!



Family Visit

Just going to take a few minutes to post some pics from our recent (a couple of weeks ago, does that count???) visit from Michael's sister and brother-in-law and our nephew, Max.  We had such a great time hanging out with them!  We even conned Michael's mom into watching the boys so we could have a dinner out!  It was wonderful and needless to say, a touch more wine and Rebecca and I would have had a giggling, Napa Valley replay!  Well, almost....nothing quite beats our drink and dash experience!!!  Wink, wink!!!

Anyway, on to the good stuff....I'm never one to turn down an opportunity to take a few family photos!

And who can resist babies in the bathtub?  Not me!!!!

And a few to celebrate our sweet baby boys' first Halloween!!

All in all it was a weekend we'll never forget!  We're so thankful for wonderful family and the blessing that it is to raise our little boys together!!
