Shes ready to POP!

 
 My sister who is literally about to POP, wanted me to do some maternity pics for her. We did them on a sunny Sunday in early October. Onsies are personally my favorite baby item. Not only are they easy to slip on and off, but seeing a baby with chunky little legs and a big ole diaper booty in onsies just makes me happy!

 
 She's so happy. She's going to make a great momma. And knowing what I know about having a son, there is honestly no better bond! I think its an unspoken bond. But defiantly one that only a mom and son have. I am happy she will experience it!

 
 LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about this picture. The name in wooden letters and how they just did their own thing on the fence, the onsie and the stripes, the angle of the sun. I just stare at this picture. A lot!

 
 Our Uncle and Aunt live across the street from me and have a pretty cool little set up in their backyard. So we used it for the session and I just love the colors and how everything just fell into place!

 
 Dad is a hunter. Dad cant wait till their son is old enough to hunt with him. Until then, baby is going to be sporting a lot of camo gear! :)

 
 One set of proud parents right there!

 
 Her baby shower was later in the month with the theme "SHES READY TO POP!"

 
 Everyone decorated a onsie for the baby and I have to say that is hands down the best idea in the world! And simple. 4 of her girlfriends and I hosted the shower and between the 5 of us we all bought a package of onsies, some fabric pens. We had fun. I hope they bring a smile to her face when she dresses the baby in them.

 
 Some of the finished projects! Surprisingly found out we have some artist in the family as well!

 
 Gift opening time! My son was in charge of handing her the presents and my step-daughter was in charge of writing everything down.

 
 The hostess gift :) Hands down the best diaper bag ever!

 
 We had a lot of fun planning and doing and getting to know one another. I cant think of a better group of girls to love my sister the way these girls do. She is very lucky to have them in her life!

 
 Jennifer and my goofy step-daughters. They were a huge help that day (and always)

 
 Dad came by to load up the goodies! This baby will always have clothes on his back that is for sure!!

 
Jennifer!
Again, I am so happy for you. Like I said there is honestly nothing better than the bond between you and your son. I have learned in my (almost) 5 years of being Jaxons mommy that there has never been and will never be anything like the relationship him and I have. I only hope you and Archers bond is just as strong! Whether  you go on and have 3 more boys or end up adding some girls to the mix, Archer will always be your #1. I love you!

Where did September GO?!

My son was looking at the calendar the other day. Trying to count how many days to Halloween, he turns around and looks at me and says...."Where the heck did September GO?!" I laughed and said you are too young to worry about where the time is going! But yea I have no idea where it went. It seems like my post here lately is dwelling on where all the time went. Its definitely going by fast! And it doesn't help when every other post on Facebook is counting down to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Geez people can we just get thru the first 6 weeks of school?! Speaking of school i have a a rant about the system. Or the lack there of anyway: I remember being disciplined in school. If I broke a rule I was sent to the office where my mom was already waiting for me. (Didn't help that she worked at my elementary school) but still. So not only did the principal lecture me about how talking in class and being disruptive was disrespectful, I had to get an ear full from...

I do it

  Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner .     Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...
