Tanner had an amazing day today. In addition to getting lots of rare one-on-one time with mom and dad, she had her very own fairy princess photo shoot in a purple flower garden! A couple of months ago we took Jaxson to White Lake Studio in Cumming to have his pictures made, and while we were there we saw some pictures of little girls dressed up like fairies in fields of purple flowers. Right away, we knew we had to make an appointment for Tanner! We spent weeks looking for the perfect outfit and practicing flying like fairies around the... Continue reading

You should definitely check out this website. I just found the cutest shoes on there for Jaxson! Also, go check out my friend Amy's blog...and enter her contest. It's always entertaining to follow the adventures of Little Miss Libbi! (Jax thinks she's cute.) ;) Continue reading

Nick's always wanted to build the kids an awesome playground. He designed one, enlisted some friends, and went to work. He also had excellent project supervisors. And this little helper, who was anxious to participate. The girls played on it a couple of times before it was completely finished... And that was fun... But now it is done!!!

The girls decided it'd be fun to slide together. But we have to watch out... Continue reading

It's pumpkin carving night with The Moon Team! First, Daddy handles the nasty stuff. They're definitely his girls, because Tanner LOVED touching it. Katelynn did too. Nasty. I'm partial, but I think they're beautiful! :) And I never get tired of this little face. :) The little truffle had been quietly getting his jungle gym on... When we interrupted him. Jax, meet Pumpkin. "Hey mom, look at this big cool orange thing!" "I want to get in it...Hi Mom! I'm the cutest lil' punkin' EVER." ;) He liked it way better than Tanner did. The secret? Socks. We learned that... Continue reading
