We don’t get snow every year, so when we do, it’s pretty exciting! This was our second snow of the year, and it was coming down in big fluffy flakes ALL DAY!
SO PRETTY!
Finally captured her gap toothed smile! She lost two of her bottom teeth last month, and is there anything cuter than a gap toothed smile??! Not much…

In my defense…It’s really hard to catch air when you are lifting your toddler up haha.
And…here’s that adorable smile again!!
This is the 3rd year in a row that she’s worn this jacket!! It is SO well made! I saw it at a thrift store for (I think) $15, and actually put it back as being too expensive. As I was halfway home (the particular thrift store is about 30-45 min away from my house), I called my thrifting friend who lives right by the store and asked her to check if it was still there if she was going in there soon. She did, and it was! SO GLAD!! It was a little big on her the first year, fit her perfectly last year, and perfectly still this year! I may even see if it still fits next year hahaha.
Pure joy… 🙂
A neighborhood dad helped them make this guy. They were so proud!
Can you SEE all the snow coming down?!!!

On me…
Coming down from our attempted jump haha.


Her face! I can’t even…
And again…HER FACE!!!

Maya- “I just want to LOOK at the puddle Mother!”
And…I knew she was lying…
But that face??!!! Who cares. That’s what washing machines are for 🙂
LOVE!!!

And…for those of you keeping track at home, yes, she’s still in the licking phase…
Is there a bug on the ground or is she mimicking my “don’t look at the camera” pose…
She is quite literally the best hugger in the world…
And a champion twirler too!
I can’t even…



Gah…the way she’s looking up at me!!
How fun are these shoes??! The leather is SO soft and gorgeous, and the foot bed is extra cushiony (I don’t think that’s a word, but you know what I mean!)
hahaha.
She even cracks herself up!
Um…

I told Maya we could do whatever she wanted for these next shots. I’ll reveal what she really had us doing in the “keeping it real”… :}

In her words when I asked what we should do…
I wish I could say that I planned this hair flip! But…nope. Total accidental catch, but I love it.
I always ask Maya what she wants us to do in shots.

The girl’s got hops!!
On me…
hahahaha. She wanted to get all up in the camera…
And…licking me yet again… 😦
Hahaha. Charlie standing on his tippy toes! Like he needs to…
I can’t even….
LOVE this shot of them!!!
At this point, I didn’t want to mess with the tripod again, so my mom got these next two of me and Maya 🙂
hahaha 🙂
GAH!!! She looooves her daddy!
This just makes me happy on so many levels. This image captures so much about them, and I love it!
As we were heading to the car, I realized I didn’t have any with my parents!!Mom got this…
Dad got this….
Oh, and I never got any of just me, so…I got these when I came home.


I can’t even handle her…
She’s a one woman show, I tell ya!
I’m her one woman audience… 🙂
I couldn’t decide on which image to post of these next three (there were actually 5!), so…I’m posting all three.
Coming in for a punch to the gut. It’s her new thing, and she thinks it’s hilarious… :{
Didn’t know we were going to do this, or I’d aimed the camera a little higher-grrrr.
I don’t even remember what she was about to do here, but obviously, it wasn’t good haha 😉

DYING over the details on the back and sleeves!!

Oh, and if you’ve followed along…I’m a total sucker for an open back top! This bralette is the best for coverage, and on Amazon for CHEAP! Although, it’s really only good for those of us that don’t have “support issues”. 😉
Oh, and…yes, we are totally matching, and I LOVE IT!


What I use to set my focus on, because she never stands still like this!!
