fries and cherry flavored water.

If it becomes "necessary" to hit McDonald's or one of their counterparts, I typically start out being good. I order chicken tenders and pull off the fried part, get apples instead of fries and of course juice or water instead of soda.



...but in order to keep her happy in her high chair for much longer after she's finished eating, we usually break out the french fries.


In this case they were introduced by my friend Raechel. Thanks Rae for a fun day at the park and Mickey D's with your 2 beautiful cousins. Hi Savannah & Mackenzie!!!

i'm ashamed to say...

I always said that I wasn't going to let my babies watch "tv" until they were at least 2. And Brian and I even decided that's what we would do. So much for that!



She doesn't watch it alot, but still. I do feel guilty... just a little bit. You know it's bad though, when you say to her, "Jersey, do you want to watch Praise Baby?" and she smiles and lifts up her hand to worship. She loves it! :) Oh well, at least my girl is learning to worship. Can't so much complain about that.

please tell me your kids do this too.

one day, she can't get enough of something...


the next day she spits it out wanting nothing to do with it.









i guess it's normal. i hope. :)

even though.

even though these pictures have a terrible grain issue, I still really love them.

pool days.

until Mommy wants to lay her in the grass for a cute photo...


my daughter is going to have issues someday. a photographer friend once said that she was going to start a support group for photographer' kids. probably a good idea.

introducing Kimmie!

Jersey's beloved baby doll. She kisses and hugs and pats her back, twisting to and fro all the while. She truly adores this baby. Kimmie has to go with us wherever we go.

Why the name? We named her after the one who gave her to Jersey. Her most special Aunt Kimberly. Thank you for introducing her to mommyhood. :)
