Happy Birthday, George!

This sweetie pie is turning one is just a few days, and I thought it would be great to sit him down on my pretty blanket and snap some cute photos of him sitting there, smashing his cake, pleasantly sitting still. Ha! Yeah, right! This kid is on the move, people. He didn't even want to sit still for a ride in his super awesome all-terrain wagon. I'm glad mom and dad can keep up with him!

George loved the camera, so much so that he came chasing after me several times to grab it. Also, he liked cake, icing, pine cones, sticks, and anything else he could manage to pick up. What a curious kid! He laughed and talked away, smiled and fake laughed, and showed some pretty smooth dance moves when his dad turned on the Ellen theme song. I love this kid. He is so happy and easy going, as long as you don't have to hold him down to change his diaper or clothes. He has places to go!

I had so much fun running around chasing this little guy. I hope he has the happiest of birthdays celebrating with his family and friends chowing down on some yummy crawfish and, of course, cake!

Happy birthday, George!

Splash Pad!

Play date number 2 is in the books! Two play dates within one week! Ashley, we're killing it! :) We met up at Rotary Park in Johnson City to have fun at the new splash pad. When we drove up, I was a little worried about the crowd because the parking lot was -FULL- but it wasn't that bad. We just plopped our bags and towels down in the pretty astroturf and got to playing. It was a beautiful, hot day, so the water was a great idea. Except I had to remind myself that I had a camera in my hands! I found myself fascinated with the motion of the water, so I tried to get in as close as I could to capture the movement. I was also happy to see how blissfully happy the girls were while playing. Izzy completely let loose as soon as we arrived. I love that this girl can have so much fun no matter what we do. Cousin Hazen joined us, but I don't know that she had as much fun as Izzy and Lexie. She did, however, ...

Ice Pops, Splash Pads, and Creeks

I've not posted in a few days, but that doesn't mean I haven't been shooting. I'm trying to make a habit of photographing some moment every day, no matter how seemingly insignificant. Sometimes I don't get much, but sometimes I do. Izzy has a neighbor friend that she plays with often, and it seems like every time they play, they eat. This particular day brought them ice pops and confetti cake. These two love to play together and the boy has never met a stranger. He cracks me up with his "Hey!" whenever we see him. He makes himself at home well, too. Such a fun kid. Next, we had another play date with Lexie! At another splash pad! We have a few more to visit before we can say we've conquered them all in our area. This one was at Steele Creek Park in Bristol. While I like Bristol, and I like Steele Creek Park, I prefer Rotary Park in Johnson City. Plus, the...

Ice Cream & Sidewalk Chalk

Is there anything that screams "summer is almost here" more than eating ice cream and playing with sidewalk chalk? Today was such a beautiful day, hot even. After a long week of testing at school, we needed to chill in the back yard. We grilled out, talked about plants, discovered what a bud is since Izzy's class hasn't made it that far up the plant yet, learned how to drink out of a bottle without getting a bruise on our upper lip (you'll see I was a little late with this lesson!), sat in the grass, ate ice cream, watched the sunset, and drew lots of pictures with sidewalk chalk. It was the best part of our day. Even though school isn't out for summer break just yet, we are close enough now that late nights, dirty feet, and messy hair are calling us. For now, though, our fun evening will do. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attributi...
