Camera Bag?

i cannot help but click on links on others' blogs...sometimes they turn out to be boring links and i don't spend much time on them...other times they are quite interesting and i find myself reading their little stories and fascinated with their photos. This time i clicked on a link and completely fell in LOVE!! i can't stop thinking about it. i keep trying to justify how i could purchase it. it would be "business" after-all! It just might work out that way! You never know...

My future camera "purse"


Completely adorable and i can't wait to get my hands on one...
i just have to decide on which one now!!

Birthday Party (Part2)

Birthday Boy needs a couple more photos taken of him...here are my favs!

Opening gifts...i think he likes the rubber duckie!

He was super tired for his birthday party...but he hung in there! He really enjoyed opening gifts with daddy! And was super happy to find a few new books!

Tea and her sister and mom joined us for his party...and she was helping Ollie feel the new "touch-n-feel" books!

a cool new guitar from uncle brent and aunt chrissy and cousin makayla!

daddy and ollie with the birthday cake!

ollie didn't want to blow out his candle...we had been practicing too! so daddy helped out!

i gave Oliver a cupcake of his own, but the poor little guy was just too tired...he took one bite and then he was all done!

he had a great birthday! thanks to everyone that joined us!

Birthday Party (Part1)

Happy Birthday Oliver!
Our little guy turned 1 on Thursday.
So big!

i had to take a few photos of oliver for his big day...dressed in his adorable new yellow shirt and blue plaid tie! we decorated the coffee shoppe for his birthday...with colourful balloons and a "happy birthday" banner!

a gift from the coffee shoppe gals..."happy birthday" balloons!

he had enough photos for awhile!

his felt "happy birthday oliver!" banner!

little "frog" cupcakes to share with all the coffee "regulars" that love Oliver!

and here is the monkey cake for the birthday celebration later in the evening!

Oliver...1

My little boy is turning 1...i cannot believe how fast the time has flown by!
Here are a couple photos of my official "toddler"...just before his birthday!

Saint Patty's Day

A couple photos from Saint Patty's Day! A little behind schedule with posting, but at least they are making their way up! We found Ollie a cute little shirt from The Children's Place for the Irish holiday...and he rocked it out!

At the end of the day we went for a walk with Jenny, Fletcher and Lola...super nice day out! Oliver is loving his walks in the stroller!

my mornings

Most mornings this is what i see when i look down...a little boy crying and whining because he wants to be held!! i just had to take a photo of it...priceless! love how he wrinkles his nose when he whines...drives me crazy in the mornings while we're trying to get ready and get a lunch packed to bring to work...but i suppose someday i'll look back and miss it...just a little!!

(i know, kind of a bad photo...the camera focused on his shirt...oops! and i wasn't about to take the time to take another one!!)
