More Tutu Fun

Here are some more pictures from the tutu session I did with Addi. A little shout out to Bridget Martineau, one of my very fave people, for letting me use her girl's bedroom. (Built by her hubby... can you BELIEVE this is her daughters' room? Would you DIE as a little girl?!?) Anyways, I am putting more of these on my photo blog in the next day or two. I just love the way they turned out. I love my little she-tank!!

Out of the Mouth of Babes

The other morning Bryan and I were asleep when we heard Carter calling for Bryan. (Yeah for him calling for Daddy and NOT Mommy.) Bryan went and found him in the bathroom and asked him what he needed.
"Daddy, my bum coughed."
"What?"
"My bum coughed."
After inspecting the toilet on which Carter was sitting he realized he had a little diarrhea. So, he asked Carter if he had made a "brown" (to technical around here) and if he needed help.
"Yeah, Daddy, I made a brown. And then I made another one and another one and another one and another one..." (he repeated that about 15 times.)
Maybe it's just me but this cracked me up. If you think about it, it does kind of sound like coughing some times... :) Love that kid.

Preview

I am just starting to work on some pictures of Addilyn that I took of her when she turned 18 months (in the beginning of December.) I think this one may be my favorite... We'll see.

It's a miracle!!!

I am FINALLY updating my blog. The past month I have completely given up on photo shopping and because of the way I take my pictures (I don't take pictures in JPeg format) I have no choice but to photo shop every picture I take... So, I am FINALLY getting on the ball and starting the LONG process of playing catch up.
Anyways, for their Christmas present, Carter's preschool teacher took them all Ice Skating. It was HYSTERICAL!!! Carter loved the idea but wasn't that fond of the actual act. But there was some snow to play on so that helped matters. He was so cute out there. I stayed off the ice to take pictures. He headed out with his little buddy Koen and Koen's daddy, Brad. (Who, for the record, also can NOT ice skate... it only added to the humor.)

Brad with Koen (left) and Carter.

They finally made it to the snow.

And played there for a while.

The boys only skated on the ice for about 20 minutes but enjoyed watching everyone else and then having hot chocolate and cookies. (Carter is on the left.)

Pretty Light

A few weeks ago while Addilyn and I were both sick, Bryan put up Christmas lights. In a serious effort to be supportive and festive (since Bryan is lacking a Christmas gene) we came outside and sat on the grass while he worked away. The light was absolutely beautiful. So clear but not too harsh... it was just yummy. So, I went inside and grabbed my camera. (You know it was pretty if I powered through my temp of 103 and my light headedness to go get it.) These pictures are rather pointless but since I've been a slacker on my blog and my poor Grandma is probably about to kill me because I'm not really posting much, I figured I'd put some on here. So, enjoy Addilyn being forced to play in the pretty light while sick. She was a good sport. :)

Jolly Ol' Saint Nick

On Tuesday we went and visited Santa Claus. It was great because there were NO lines! (One nice thing about Bryan having a random day in the middle of the week off.) Anyways, Carter was BEYOND excited to sit on Santa's lap. He was shy but told Santa that he wants a race car for Christmas... (oops.) Addi on the other hand... not so excited. Would not get NEAR the jolly fellow. Oh well, maybe next year.
Bryan was telling Carter a few weeks ago about how Santa brings you coal if you're naughty. Carter thought for a second and said, "What's coal? Garbage?" Stifling a laugh, Bryan told him that was exactly what it was. Now whenever Carter is being unreasonable we kindly remind him that Santa is watching, to which Carter will reply (and I don't want him to bring me garbage." LOVE that kid!

The closest we could get her to him.

Santa gave all the kids books. Carter loved it.

Not Dead, Just Sick...

Nope, just a flu. Sorry to disappoint. Addilyn was sick and so am I. I swear I'll post soon. My other excuse is that I have been too busy working on other people's pictures to work on my own. Lame, I know.
