Winter to Spring 2019

Check out my fun bathroom art!! ha ha

It's been hard to find something to go with my quirky giraffes!

Here are some up dates from our new year, 2019-post Hawaii trip-ish.

We have been LOVING every moment with our family, we are so so so blessed to have our two angel babies. Ivy is growing so fast and is a ball of fun, and Perry continues to be the sweetest little guy.

Jan 17

Perry is growing so fast. He is an angel baby, mush like his sister.

He is super smiley, not fussy and eats well. We need to work on him sleeping through the night now.

Ivy v. Perry

Jan 18, Jer went on a little over night hunting trip. We missed him but had a great weekend anyway.

I went to a little favorite things girls night and on Saturday we went and got some ice cream, Ivy was such a good girl!

Jan 19, tummy time!

LOTS of snuggles going on around here!

Ivy wanted to sleep in a tent haha

I bought some chalk board wall paper and made the side of our counter a drawing area for Ivy, saves easel space and she loves it.

All dressed up for church!

Love my cute kids!

Feb5

Hanging with cute Evelyn Starkey.

Feb 7, my new camera comes!!!!!

I have been looking in to Photography for a while now and I finally made the leap!

Feb 9, Up to Tehachapi to see the snow and sled!

We didn't last very long but we had a great time.

Feb 10, this sweet boy bathing in his duck

Getting so big!

Feb 21, matching outfits!

I can't get enough. I want them to match every day.

Learning art and making our valentine cookies... but Ivy girl got so sick with a bad flu virus.

Our sick girl. She's been hit hard with bugs this year, hoping she'll be stronger for it.

Feb 14, Valentines day at Brian Regan comedy show and Our house is coming together from having it painted!! I love our house!

I've been seeing a therapist for my anxiety and trying to get a handle on my emotions... mostly i just wish I got more sleep haha

Taking a little time to be creative.

I definitely have a need to create. To use my talents and share them.

I'm always coming up with little creative projects for myself, it keeps me going, and gives me something to do for *ME*.

Feb 18, Perry's 4 month check up.

He took his shots well and showed off his mile stones to the Doctor. His head circ. is wrong below, it's actually in the 30th percentile.

Belle's so cute, always wanting to be with us. I love her.

A little blast from the past- Granny Norma made all us girl cousins matching dresses for Christmas one year.

Lately, we've bene going on drives to scope out some photo spots. 

Trying to find pretty back drops in Bakersfield is tough with the air quality, abundant power lines, oil diggers and flat farm land. I'm up for the challenge though!

Make yourself comfortable, Belle.

Feb 22, my little bumbo buddy! starting to hold his head up better. This boy of mine is just so sweet, all smiles, even when Ivy is pouncing on him. I can already see he is going to be my most patient child.

Been practicing with my camera... I need a happier model though!

Feb 25

Photo shoots all.day.long.

Ivy's been wearing my Casio watch and I love it.

Feb 26, a little trip up to Ballinger canyon and grandma comes to visit!!

Enjoying the four wheelers.

Hosting my Mardi Gras bunco, it was a hit!

Poor sick Ivy again...

She sure HATES to take medicine.

Check out that grip!

Scoping out Hart Park!

Grandma teaches Ivy to climb trees!

I guess it's an Ice cream out of the tub kinda day?

Jer went on a work trip to Nashville so we just hang with grandma.

We went with our new friends Hunter and Taylor and had GREAT seats!

My smoothie girl!

PERRY'S FIRST HAIRCUT FROM AUNTY LINDSEY

Helping mamma cook!

Science experiments

FINALY redid and finished my front room. 

Set up my new desk and computer for my photography stuff.

Play doh fun

March 7, Perry is a pro at rolling from his back to his tummy...

still has not figured out that he can roll tummy to back, so he gets 'stuck' and gets a bit mad until we roll him back over. Ivy is great at reminding Perry he needs to practice his tummy time.

more matching <3

March 8

March 16, date at 5 dogs

Perry is too big for his bassinet now and has fully transitioned into his crib

Finding his yummy feet!

A few photoshoots!

I've enjoyed everything about  portrait photography so far.

Going to location, camera settings, clients, posing, editing, I love it all!

I have made a whole $50 so far too!!

March 23, a weekend trip to Monterey!

Stopped at the aquarium too, Ivy loved the fish!

This drive home was absolutely gorgeous! The highway 1 is so pretty... but also very windy and poor Ivy girl got car sick and kept throwing up.

Feb 27- a Wednesday night boys paint night- because boys can paint too!

Feb 29, PERRY'S FIRST TIME CAMPING!

Wind Wolves Preserve is absolutely beautiful this time of year.

It was a great time, we were very comfortable in our new two room tent. Perry had a hard night and it got quite cold, but I'd say it was a successful first camping trip as a family of 4!

We have loved spending lots of time together on the weekends, these kids are growing way too fast. Time sure does fly.
