Bluebonnet Pictures!

By Ashley -
We have been so lucky to get to know a great photographer while we've been here in Austin. Because he loves the MOMS Club of Cedar Park he gives us a great deal. When he offered Bluebonnet pictures a few weeks ago I couldn't pass them up. Who knows how long we will live in TX and Bluebonnet pictures are a quintessential Texas thing. If you haven't had the privilege of seeing the bluebonnets in texas in the spring they are AWESOME! They appear suddenly and COVER the sides of the roads, hillsides, and pretty much anywhere things can grow. It is really beautiful. I know most people don't think Texas is beautiful, but for a few weeks in the spring hill country is beautiful. So in the event that we eventually leave, I have a picture of my three texans in the bluebonnets. 

I really wanted to get a few good ones of Grace in the bluebonnets. And he did! This one captures her cute personality. She is just so happy all the time. 

 Zach thinks he is a superhero. Zach is a crack up all the time. He takes the role of middle child very seriously.
 So glad I didnt buy ugly school pictures. I could have had ugly school pictures in his school uniform or real smiles in flowers... wow that isn't a toss up.

 I absolutely love how the photographer was able to capture both how tired and annoyed I was. It takes real skill to get them both. Both overall the family picture turned out ok, we all looked so that's always a win.
 Yes, that really is the expression Zach chose to have in a picture I was paying for. And yes that is totally something Zach would do, he smiled until the last possible second.



 Seriously, so much personality in one little body.
 They always do a great job.
 Yes, she was trying to jump down to get her brothers. She thought their dancing was hilarious.

 She loves to dance with Brian.








 If only this picture had sound. She is just as loud and joyful as the boys.




We've taken a few family photos over the years: Fall 2011, Fall 2012, Spring 2014, Fall 2014, Summer 2015, Fall 2016

Merry Christmas!

We are planning on having a very exciting Christmas at our house this year. We are super excited to announce (to all three people that read this that have already been told) that we are expecting another baby! Yay, the due date is December 22nd, so it is possible that we will actually have a very exciting Christmas, though in all honesty I am hoping for something more around the 16th than 25th.  We had an ultrasound today, and a few things. First off, I think this kid is going to give his/her older brother a run for his money. The ultrasound tech told us this was the most active baby she had ever seen, my response was pretty much, well you should have seen Michael 2 years ago. The baby is healthy, but... crazy. She had such a hard time taking measurements with all the flipping, flailing, and somersaulting. Pretty sure this kid is going to have to be so crazy to keep up with Mikey, but pretty sure that 2 years from now I am going to be exhausted. Even though it is a little b...

Baby Zach is Here!

Baby Zach is here! Zachary Henry December 16, 2013 8:41am 6lbs 14oz 20.5 inches Sweet guy, he seems so tiny compared to Michael, and so so tiny compared to how big Michael is now. I think he looks a little bit like Michael, especially his mouth. He has less hair and his eyelashes are lighter, but he is still adorable. I know he has the newborn grey eyes for now, but they look lighter than the pictures of Michael at the same age. I am curious to see what he ends up looking like in a few weeks! The three boys. I can't believe we have two boys! We have to have one token labor picture. And as there is only one this is the one that gets posted. More on the labor later, but let's just say I wasn't loving life at this moment, waiting for the doctor to arrive was the longest half hour of my life, but we made it so yay!  So these are out of order, but this is Zach right after he was born. He was very quiet. He cried initially, but after a minute he calme...

Genius Idea

By Ashley -
So I have this idea, I think it is brilliant, and I am really hoping someone reads this and 1. tells me someone has already done it and where I can access it, or 2. someone steals my idea and does it close enough to me that again I can access it. Ok so here is the idea, first let me describe the situation. You are a parent with small children and it is a cold/hot/rainy/snowy/windy day/, someone is contagious/your kid fell asleep in the car/your kids are having a meltdown and taking them out of the car and struggling with the 5 point harness might kill both of you and you need milk from the grocery store. Normally you would try and get it at a better time, send a spouse, live without, etc, but you can't because you need milk (or bread or eggs, pick an essential item), so you have an internal debate... am I going to risk it, am I going to pull them out of the car, run in, find the item, wait in line, and come back and struggle to get everyone back in or are we going to live without...
