{wordful wednesday} throwbacks.

With Sawyer I've taken quite a few photos with him. Technology has a lot to do with it as cameras just keeping getting smaller, are digital, and now we can easily turn them around and see ourselves too. Even my photo hiding hubby gets in more photos now thanks to how easy it is. It got me digging back into old photos I have. I love this one of Gavin & myself. Oddly enough I remember … [Read more...]

Nine Months Old {Sawyer James}

I've failed you with these updates. Sorry. I have still been taking the photos but the last few months got busy and my time sharing got limited. Now that the year is fresh I am picking up everything I was doing. It's time to get back on track! I have a confession to make. I took these a week ago. I should have taken these when I came home from Florida but I was so worried about dropping the ball … [Read more...]

Our Christmas {2012}

This Christmas just crept up on me like no other. Going to Florida this year unexpectedly between Thanksgiving and Christmas for a week was just too much. We couldn't get a tree until we got back since we couldn't water it which meant I was even farther behind then my normal day after Thanksgiving decorating routine. When we finally got it I was so disappointed. There were only a few to chose from … [Read more...]

{Wordless Wednesday} Santa’s Trains

Yesterday I brought the kids to see Santa. We go every year to the Santa's Trains at Look Park. They do a great job of it and we go every year. I posted when we went last year too. Gavin loves going for the trains. They give you a paper with all these different things to find and he loves taking the time to find it all. I love looking at all the different Christmas trees they have decorated all … [Read more...]

Make Your Own Christmas Shaped Crayons! #Tutorial

I've been seeing all kinds of posts popping up all over about making your own crayons and while it is super easy and doesn't require much some people really assume it's so simple that you don't need directions. I pinned this project multiple times from multiple people and do you know I had to google for actual temps and times?!? So when we made our Christmas shaped crayons we documented what … [Read more...]
