As you can see...

Ash has been hanging with us this week, spring break for her and Leyton. So I've taken advantage, I had her in front of the camera on Monday, yesterday she was my assistant when I took some pics of Logan and today I beat her in bowling (oh yah, I did...beat a nine year old! haha!). Here's some of the pics (from yesterday...not of the bowling :), I'll apologize ahead of time for so many...but I really love A LOT of them and couldn't narrow them down. I'm trying my best not to have the poor second child that I have no photos of...like that was ever going to happen? She's just so chubby and sweet right now, and she can't go anywhere!! Now how long is that going to last? Not long, so I'm documenting it while I can, I'm sure in a month I'll be pulling my hair out because I've got a crawler, Lord help me! :) Enjoy the chubster...

Thanks for the help Ash!!

More snow...

Yup, this weekend we ended up with ... more snow! Isn't it supposed to be spring? Let's hope this is the last of it. Not only was it snowy, but really foggy, so there was tons of hoar frost on the trees down by our place. Up the hill a little bit in Royal Oak, it was even more foggy, so yesterday I headed up there with the girls + my niece Ashley to take a couple picks at my "secret" spot! :) I figured the trees would look pretty, and low and behold I was right! Here's a couple from yesterday, the close up of Ash, might be my favorite of her yet...

i heart faces - slice of life

After reading this weeks theme on iheartfaces I decided one of my pics from our dance night would be a good choice for an entry. I picked this one...

What I've been up to

As you can see I've been making some changes to the blog, hope you like them! I was out of town at my sisters last week and as usual we were cooking up ideas for photos, crafts, parties, logos and whatever else we could think up. I tell you I'm not sure how I'm going to work once Cheralyn moves here! You may have already seen some of the superhero pics on facebook, but here's a couple again. Cheralyn sewed all the capes a couple months ago, and we crafted up the eye covers and belts, and threw it together with some leggings and ballet outfits and voila! Fun...and funny! They were pretty cute. Super Pink (Leyton), Super Ballerina (Ady) and Super Beano (Benny) to the RESCUE!!
Most of these ideas we found on Pinterest and we just couldn't resist trying...I mean really how can it get much cuter than Clark Kent Benny? And how can we pass up a photo op?
Enjoy!

Another month....

...gone by. Can't believe she's 7 months old already. Still two teeth, eating like crazy, and sitting up pretty well by herself. Love ya Logan Jogan (L's nickname for Logan)

Friday night dance fever

On Friday when Kelly got home, Leyton and I were rocking out to some tunes. He decided to join in, so I decided to grab my camera. So glad I did. I really need to get more photos of Kelly (and me) with the girls. I have so many of just them, I think they might wonder if they actually had any parents when they grow up and look back at their photos. (As well as thinking their mother is crazy for taking so many photos of them:) Enjoy!

The "new" chair!

I've been browsing kijiji religiously for the past couple months looking for an old or "antique" looking chair to use as a photo prop. Had a couple possibilities along the way, but I was pretty cheap and didn't want to pay much over $50 for it since I'd be dragging it out to fields like this one for people to sit and stand on. I didn't want to pay a bunch of money and then worry about wrecking it every time I used it. So when I found this one for $20 I was pretty excited. I think it may be a surplus item from a hospital or an old folks home, but who cares!! I left it out in the garage to air out for a couple days and voila! It was beautiful on Wednesday, I think about plus 2, and Logan had a bit of croup, so getting out in the cool air would do her good, so why not a photo op right? Coincidentally, that day Logan was exactly 7 months old. I really like how these turned out and I may finally bite the bullet and make up some canvases with these images. I have been waiting for the perfect shots, but I always seem to find something wrong with them. I think these might be them! If I get them made I'll post some pics...

Special Delivery at our place!!

I met the Purolator courier on my way out the door yesterday. She was carrying six boxes, and inside I was panicking...what did I order six of...oh crap...but... it was the baby food I ordered last week for Logan. Baby Gourmet was in Calgary when Leyton was a baby ( and we bought their food quite a bit then) but shut down when she was about 2 because they wanted to rethink their company and rework it because they had grown too big too fast. Well that they did, and now they are back with these great tetra paks of food for babies that are so awesome. I have made some baby food in my life, but I'm not going to lie, its pretty simple, and well, pretty blah...but this stuff, has both veggies and fruits mixed together, and with flavors like roasted squash and fruit medley, apple sweet potato berry swirl, and baby's sweet potato pie, I don't think you can go wrong. No additives, no preservatives and all organic ingredients. It comes in three steps, for 6+ month olds, 7+ month olds and 8+ month olds, with three different flavors in each stage. So happy with it, ordered it from their website by the sampler pack, and with a volume discount and a facebook discount they were running last week I saved a mint! Thought I would post for all you guys out there with kids. Its now shipping to Walmart, Costco and possibly soon to Safeway but seems to be sold out VERY quickly all over the place. Online ordering (even if its baby food) has become my new addiction...uh oh. If you've got little ones, you should definitely try it out! (especially if you're lazy and don't like making baby food like me!)
Also on a shopping note, picked up my new Seven jeans (for about half price) from the mailbox yesterday from Hautelook. Super good deals on tons of clothes and more. Bought Leyton some Joe jeans lately for $29, and they are the cutest jeans! Let me know if you want and invite and I'll shoot one out to you!
Well enough product bragging!! More pics soon, took the girls out today for some quick shots with my new chair (from kijiji...so impressed with my find!) Logan has croup, so we needed to get out into the cool air anyway, so why not a photo op?

The new Chippers...and sitting...

I was just going to post one quick pic from today showing off Logan's new teeth, but I couldn't resist posting more. Love this little Old Navy outfit (you probably remember the pink and white striped one as well, yes I bought both...can't resist a little pink and brown!), and I thought it would look good with the one of my brown photo blankets. Turns out I was right (if I do say so myself!). Sleep has been a bit interrupted lately, but hey how can you get grouchy at a face like this...? Just don't look at the bags under my eyes these days ok? :)
ps this is the BEST time to take photos of babies, LOVE it. They sit, and they can't move, what could be better than that? The only thing we needed was a strategically placed pillow for the odd topple over. Need to get working on Logan's core...haha JUST KIDDING!!
