It's business time...

So freaking funny! Anthony and I love this song.

they pretty much rock,,, when they aren't crying.

Chloe & Daddy

my new favorite song...

a girl from the show Taking The Stage from MTV

This is the kind of music I would write and sing if I were a singer song writer, I used to play the guitar and sing and I really wanted to write songs but I figured out I sucked at writing pretty fast.

Taters

So here is my Tate...
I hardly take pictures of him lately because he is seriously SO crazy. I can't believe he actually sat for 2 minutes. I think it had something to do with the candy involved. These were just taken in our backyard, no biggie but I love how it shows his personality. He is so sweet, crazy, and loud all in one. I love this little guy. He is going to be our little soccer star, that is all he does all day. Tonight we just threw a ball at his head for about an hour and we were all dying laughing because he loved it. He loves going to the REAL games with us and it is the only time he ever sits still. He chants,, Go REAL Go REAL. Love my Tate.

so big

My kids are getting too big. Chloe is so huge for her age. I feel like she isn't even a toddler anymore! Tate is a couple pounds less so I still feel like he is my little one. It is crazy how fast they grow and how much they eat! Costco loves us. Chloe has been super obsessed with dogs lately and she now talks to herself and plays school.
Tate is our little counter and knows his numbers pretty good from watching elmo. thanks elmo, we owe you.
They fight constantly but miss each other so much when the other is absent. I can't believe they are mine sometimes. so cute, so naughty, so crazy and so fun. love you guys!

Ode to the remote

Chloe just found the remote and said, "Hi remote, I love you".

I must be nuts.

So, I am taking over the lease tomorrow on my studio so that means everything is leaving and I have to purchase all new stuff. Sounds fun right, no it's way stressful. But anyways, I bought this victorian couch and I am recovering it. Shelley help me put this together and we are doing a mismatch flower patch crazy couch. I love it, but I hope it turns out how we envisioned. It's a camel back look but I couldn't recreate it too well in photoshop. what do you think? I will take a real photo of it when it's all done!

snow is so overrated...

I am a 70 degrees or nothing girl, so done with the snow already... anyone else? Can't wait for Hawaii, it's feeling more real now! Here is Chloe when we went sledding up AF canyon, she went down twice (unwillingly) and then cried the rest of the time. She just wanted to eat all the snacks I brought and watch Tate have fun instead. What a weirdo...

a lot a bit of funny...

this is Tate saying a prayer, don't need to say much else, he is a crazy loon that's why I love him.

HAppy NeW yEar to YoU!

To all of our friends and family and random people, HAPPY NEW YEAR. Here are some photos of Tate and Chloe just hanging out like ususal, after they have taken off all their clothes, their favorite! I love these bumpkinds. This year has been one of the best. I feel SO lucky to be doing what I am doing and to have Anthony pursuing his dream career is even better...

Tate has Anthony's blanket from when he was a baby and it's so cute how much he loves it. HE won't go to bed without it. As you can see they are on the counter with a plethora of toys, their new thing is to fill up bags and baskets full of toys and carry them around the house, then they always walk toward the door and say, "bye mom, I love you!" I know too cute, I can't handle it sometimes. Sorry there are lots of photos, I couldn't narrow it down and since this is my scrapbook/Journal I have to!

30x40 baby...

This is going to be a 30x40 in my entry way, come and see it soon! I am so beyond excited!

Favorite purchase of the year

I LOVE these boots, great price, nice leather, so stylish. I definitely have an obsession with shopping lately, okay always, but these take the cake for my best purchase this year, worth every penny. They are from overstock, go figure. I got the black ones, they are $80, with $2 shipping! HERE is the link so you can purchase them and be as happy as me!

The best Christmas

Our very out of focus photo and me with my new red hair!






Making cookies for Santa, Tate did't want to give them up to Santa I think...


We really had the best Christmas ever, so relaxing, no fighting over who's families house we were going to. It as easy this year because both of my parents are in Cali right now, so off to Anthony's house we went. We spent the morning at home opening presents, the kids woke up at 9:45 am! Gotta Love it! Tate obviously loved his huge cars. Chloe got a play kitchen and she is now obsessed with it.

At least I have a few good photos to show for it...

As many of you know Anthony and I went to Paris and London for 10 days last March. It was kind of a bust, but it was definitely fun in it's own way even though we missed our kids SO much!! The hardest thing was how bad our dollar was and I wasn't a big fan of the city, I have learned the long hard was to stay away from tourist crap. I really would love to do it all over again and visit the countryside. Anyways, here are 3 photos I will be hanging in my white matted IKEA frames above Anthony's desk in our bedroom, so excited! I printed them on Metallic paper and I can't wait to see how they turn out.

When did they get so big?

I love capturing them at home, as they are not perfectly dressed or posed. I am so bad at doing this lately. It's a struggle being a mom and supporting and working a lot, it's a balance that I am constantly trying to find. I hope they realize how much I do love them even if I am constantly trying to go go go, but now I get to stop and just stare at them for a few weeks and see how they have grown this fall in my business. I hate feeling like I miss things when I am gone. I love them more than words can say. I never imagined how much life they would bring into my world. love my tate and chloe...
Here they are on my couch in my room.

Santa time

So we went to Thanksgiving point the other night to see Santa and we actually ran into Michelle, Camille, and Tyler. So it made it more fun to stand in line for an hour with all of them. I stole these photos from Michelle's (thanks Michelle!) blog because I didn't bring my camera, I know I am a photographer I should do stuff like that. Really I hate packing my camera around if I don't have to and my point and shoot's battery charger is missing... excuses I know.

Chloe really liked Santa and I told her to tell him what she wanted for Christmas and she just says presents. Tate didn't know what the heck was going on, he was just more interested in playing with Tyler and being crazy.

Christmas is almost here...

can you believe it, what the heck happened to November, oh ya I was taking pictures.
I am finally in a semi-Christmas mood. I am a bit excited to admit that I am excited about Xmas this year because the kids will get it more. Don't tell Chloe but she is getting a retro play kitchen and Tate is getting what he loves most, cars and balls.
What are you getting me? Jk, I don't want anything this year, I already buy way to much of everything anyways, just a nice week off with my fam will be nice, okay maybe in Mexico or Hawaii with a maid and butler...

Merry Christmas

Here is a photo of Tate decorating the Christmas tree,,, naked...

Tate, it's been too long!

I love these pictures of Tate. He is growing so fast, he now has peed on the potty 4 times! He counts to 15, he is obsessed with soccer, cars, and rocks. love him..

Fall Leaves '08

Went up the canyon last Sunday to enjoy the leaves, the kids loved it for about 10 minutes and then we had to get some food asap! I need to enjoy the canyon more now that I live 5 min away!
