Tough Girl

The girls found some temporary tatoos among last years Halloween supplies and we of course had to put some on. Anna picked a skeleton, Lainie a ghost. I chose this sweet pumpkin band that fit just perfect around Ava's arm. Doesn't she look tough. 

3 ladies

Trying to get a great shot of the three of them is nearly impossible. But here they are, my three little ladies. Lainie and Anna are constantly squeezing Ava, and luckily I was close enough to the camera to take a picture of their squeeze.  

Miss Lainie Grace

My little stinker!!! Oh, how I love those big brown eyes. She knows how to work it too. When she wants something she just pouts a bit and blinks her eyes at you until you give in. She's got her daddy wrapped around her finger (among others). Me on the other hand...it's hard getting her to smile at the camera lately. She is much more interested in making funny faces at it. I guess if I'd have to choose between funny faces and no picture at all, I'd take the funny faces. 

Welcome to Adulthood

I'm so happy to say that our mattress no longer sits on the floor. Paul and I have been married for 6 1/2 years and we FINALLY bought a bedroom set. I'm so pleased...I feel like such an adult now. 

Pickles

I don't really know where nicknames come from. All I know is that once used, they usually stick. So here she is, our little Ava Nicole...otherwise known as Pickles. 

Bringing it back

Marcus...Marcus...oh, Marcus. What can I say about the stache? Yes, I am proud that you are finally able to grow one, though it took 9 months, BUT, the mustache in conjuction with the speedo scares me a bit. It just proves what a great guy you are though...you look like a 70's pornstar, but you still get the women.
 

Sweet Anna Jane

It's hard to believe that Anna is nearing her 5th birthday. It's gone by so fast. It seems strange that I've been a mother that long. It's got to be tough being the oldest-growing up while I'm learning how to be a parent. I'm sure I've made tons of mistakes along the way, but through it all she stays my sweet Anna Jane.

Me and my Man

I just adore this guy. I feel so lucky to have him in my life. Besides being super HOT, he is a great husband and incredible father to our three little ladies. 

So inspired...

I've been browsing over a few friends' blogs and feel so inspired to create my own. I love taking pictures and scrapbooking, but with 3 kids, it's becoming quite hard to find the alone time to keep it up. A photo/journal is just perfect. Thanks for the inspiration ladies....I needed it.
