Kellan and Campbell

Warning...this post is heavy on the pictures as there was no way to just pick out a few favorites.


A few weeks ago we met with our dear, sweet, patient photographer friend Jennifer from
Haute Shot Photography. We haven't had any pictures made since January when we did newborn/family pictures. Kellan now 2 years (and 3 months if your counting) and Campbell already 7 months old, going on 17, we figured it was time for a photo shoot. Though we met Jennifer at a VERY early 10am, July in Texas is hot regardless of the hour, but she with out fail managed to capture many awesome shots!!

Thanks yet again for a great photo experience, and in case your wondering, Kellan did get a new Mater later that day for being such a cooperative big brother.

Oh no, Pister fall down!

Looks pretty sweet and Innocent, with a hint of deception in those baby blues!!

"Tickle Tickle, Pister"

Campbell sucks two fingers just like big brother ??

If your wondering about Kellan's silly face, let me explain. This is the face he makes when asked if he wants to kiss a kitty, rabbit and on this day it was a squirrel.

Not to brag, but cute kids!!

Nursery Pictures

Campbell's room is finally done and has been for a few days now. It was a long process and a lot of work but I think it turned out beautifully. We couldn't of done it by ourselves, that's for sure. We had lots of helpers. Brady's sister put the final touches on it last Friday Night. Oh, we still have something to hang above the bed if your wondering why the blank space, but Brady needs to build a frame for it first.

My baby bump

Not wanting to ever forget the beauty of being fat and pregnant, we went for maternity pictures a few weekends ago. I was referred to Jennifer (photographer) from a friend of a friend. The great thing about her is she local, very talented and she offers the CD of the pictures. Check out her blog post from our session to see a few more shots.


Thanks Jennifer, we really had a great time, we'll see you in January for newborn shots !!



Just for fun, here's a few shots from when Kellan was growing in my belly.

Moving along like a heard of turtles !!

Just a quick update.....unfortunately not much has changed. We are still diligently working on baby girls nursery. We seem to be held up in the furniture department. Poor Brady (along with many helpers) has worked his fingers to the bone trying to get the furniture project finished. It always seems like it will be easier than it is. Well we are about to start on weekend 3 off painting furniture.Pictures of the furniture after lots of handy work and a good sand job.Primer coat #1 tot he drawer fronts.All the knobs (along with many other things) got a coat of shinny black paint, thanks to Aunt Robin and Uncle Todd.

Ice cream chairs Aunt Cathy gave to us, the plan is to cover the seats and for Brady (in his free time) to make a little table to use them with.

Daddy and Kellan took a break to ride around in Kellan's hand-me-down Chevy that now works with the help of a new battery.

I really think Daddy enjoyed it more than Kellan !!

This weekend it back to painting, hopefully one more day then we can start putting the room together.
