So we are getting family pictures done in November. We have never had "professional" family pictures done so we thought we would break out the 'ol photo booth app on the iMac and test some things out. FOR the life of me, I could not get Evie to smile regularly.... She either has to do a scary face or a horse interpretation. As for Everett, he either had to have his hand in his mouth, or something else has to be in his mouth. I realize that since they are looking at pictures of themselves while its being taken they are a bit distracted, but i'm still nervous to see how it will all turn out.
Back in August, Evrett had his first birthday! Unfortunately, he was sick and didnt even stay up long enough on his actual birthday to open any gifts and wasnt interested in his little cupcake. He never. Stops. Moving. He is an explorer, but doesn't wander too far from me. He loves food. He literally dances as he eats. Food is the way to his heart. He doesnt like to sleep. It doesnt matter if the kid goes to bed at 7:30 or 10:30, he is up and awake at 7:30 every morning. He happily plays in his crib for a while until he starts to say "Momma?" Then I know he's definitely hungry.
Evie is a free spirit. Have you seen that movie by the way? Spirit? She knows it completely by heart. She gallops and neighs and plays "hurt" along with the entire movie. It doesnt stop there. She "gets her horse on" (as Janie puts it) just about everywhere. Most parents take their kids to play at the park, not us, we take our horse- because she gallops throughout the grassy hills and neighs. We hought it was a faze, but it has lasted a solid year. She wants to be a Unicorn or a Deer (Still in the 4 legged horse family) for Hallween which might actually work perfect with Casey if he would cooperate and be a hunter since he has a mountain man beard.
Casey and I recently (June) celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. I still feel like i'm 20 years old and worrying more about what my perfume smells like and if my stupid car key chains are trendy enough or cool. (Oh wait, you never worried about that?). I am a nostalgic person. I look back at pictures on a regular basis. It makes me happy and I love to see changes (Some not so good like, wow, I though I was fat when I got married.... Marriage is a heavy commitment. There should be a warning. If you get married expect to not ever look the same again)
Now we have 2 kids. And i'm sure there are more waiting to join our special family, but my brain is blocking out any thoughts of that for now. 2 kids is a lot of work. High fives to everyone else who has more than that.
Ok maybe this picture of Evrett worked out and Evie is somewhat smiling. Too bad Casey and I missed the memo. Oh wait, we said 'silly faces'. ..and thats why Evie and Evrett cooperated. Such wonderful children. :)
