I haven't loaded any videos forever! But I caught Ev falling asleep while i was cleaning in her play pin. So fun! i was trying so hard not to laugh.
Emery is so smart, and funny. She has really caught up a lot to Ev. She kinda side steps and can crawl just as fast or faster than Ev. My sweet girls! We are so excited for Christmas! I will post some pics soon!
yay Ashley and April both love my blog! Which makes me feel great! When you don't get comments, you can't tell if anyone is even reading your blog, So i am glad there are some of you still out there! :)
I love:
April's
Devyn's
Joni's
Jaqui's
Megan H's
and... ekk only six! not fair.
Um and of course Cody Shantell and Makenna!
I am so excited for Christmas.
Still haven't started shopping. I am starting tomorrow. I know, I know.
Evelyn said quack quack today! And when I say where is the ducky, Emery will go get it. :) Evelyn says ball as well, and sometimes if we are lucky she will say please. But usually she just screams and we are working on it. Emery has started side stepping! She is catching up to Ev quick. She is a lot stronger so it is just a matter of time. Emery loves talking on the phone... when no one is on it usually. She will pick it up and put it to her ear and just go off, she even laughs...it is soooo funny. And they still just love to dance! Music is their favorite! Ev gets a crazy look on her face! They both do patty cake and itsy bitsy spider. They can even roll it and throw it on the air! So cute. They are getting so big! This Christmas is going to be so fun.
I have 2 more shoots coming up within this week and shopping shopping!
go see Danielle's full shoot, it is one of my favs.
Last week I was in a slump, And so Dev invited us over to do a fun lil craft for Christmas! It really did help my spirits! Thank you Dev I love you and your cute kids too!
Our Christmas tree! I love pictures with lights like this! I think it is fun! I wish our tree really looked like that!
I have been practicing with crappy lighting and photography... Here are a few that I like, well love of Ev and Derek. He is so cute with them and such a good daddy.
I love this picture. She is a whiny baby and gets her feelings hurt very easily! So cute.
I will post some of Em soon.
Here is our lil craft that took us far too long to do, haha three toddlers and a teeny weeny baby can be quite distracting. The antlers are the girls hands, but quite deformed haha. and the face is their foot also deformed from squirming. Can you guess who's is who's? Thanks Dev it is hanging on our fridge! so fun!
The girls enjoying all Jaxon's toys! Ev gave loves to the basketball! haha At first Jaxon didn't want to share, and by the time we left he had made Evelyn laugh really hard, gave her loves, and tried to pick her up, good luck buddy! He playes so cute with her.
Jaxon and his truck! so cute!
I wish I would have taken more pictures of Abby but we had enough going on all at once I think :) next time. Her and her tongue! always has it out.
I love this pic of Dev and Abby, the way Dev is looking at her. It's is the "mommy look" :)
Aren't they both so pretty? :) Thanks again Dev we had fun! I am so excited for Christmas!
I was tagged by Jaqui!
Name 6 things that make you Happy!
1: Hearing my children laugh. The most beautiful sound in the world. Besides hearing them cry, when they were born. And how frightened I was when Emery made no sound at all. My heart stopped beating, Thank God hers didn't. She is making up for her lack of noise that is for sure. I love it best when we all laugh together.
2: Creating things, photography, art, poetry...I was born with a creative bone. It has always been something i love about myself. I take pride in the things I create (children included). haha
3: Death Cab for Cutie -
"Transatlanticism"
The Atlantic was born today and I'll tell you how...
The clouds above opened up and let it out.
I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole.
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
Making islands where no island should go.
Oh no.
Those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door have been silenced forever more.
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before
Oh no.
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
So come on, come on
Their music makes me feel such a way that I can't put it into words. Which is rare for me. It reminds me of no one besides myself. I am almost certain that every single person that reads this has never heard them. Listen to this song. amazing. The entire album. oh man I could go on forever. 2004 brought me the soundtrack of my life.
4: Typewriters... I wish I had more. I wish this blog had typewriter font. man oh man. I have an electric one that is amazing. And I have a vintage Singer one. I really need a Remington. When I use them I feel like Jane Austen or something. Like a "real" writer. haha
5: Jackson Hole: I normally wouldn't put a place. But Jackson hole gives me a good feeling. I love it there, preferably in the winter. The last place I remember my parents being together was in Jackson. My dad was working there. Snow everywhere, we listened to "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree" on the drive. Cody and I watched PeterPan on the pull out couch, and my parents made-out in the kitchen, like junior high kids, trying not to get caught. Being the grown up Shannon that I am, I am glad my parents aren't together, I wouldn't have Trish or Taylor in my life, but the Little girl that dwells inside of me, holds tight to this memory. Jackson Hole was also my own little family's first vacation together. Ironic eh.
6: Only six...darn. Dresses. If you know me well, you know that I never wear jeans or pants at all for that matter. I love dresses, casual dresses, dressy dresses. I feel like a lady. When I have a dress on, I feel eloquent from the inside out.
I tag: Dev, Joni, Heidi, Ashley N. and...Megan H.
I also posted more photos on my blog...CLICK HERE to see them.
Look at my chubby girl, she is so funny, and loves to give loves she says "ooooh" when she does it! So sweet.
I haven't taken them to their 12 months well child check yet, but when i do, I will post how much they weigh. We are certain Ev weighs 30 lbs though!
Click here to view this shoot! I have been really busy, but i do have some good ones to post of the girls! Stay tuned!
This time last year the girls were still in the NICU, it was so hard having to go there2-3 times a day. Cozy up with them, and then leave in the cold. I am so thankful that this year we can spend the holidays with our families and friends. And I am so grateful that the girls are healthy.
My children are so beautiful. I am very lucky.
Emery is my little dreamer.
Look at Evelyn in this picture below, sooo funny!
They look so big in this last one.
13 months old. where has the time gone!
