Guess who really likes her mommy? We are out of the phase where I have to make tons of faces and noises to get one little smile…we are now in the phase where she can just lock eyes with me and that is enough for a smile. I love it. I LOVE IT. There are…
Well I am STILL having server issues….emails still with error codes and still unable to upload. My free Photobucket account is getting full, so I am waiting to post vacation pictures until my hosting company gets my account back up. So until that wonderful day, I’ll just wait for big photo posts… I shoot fully…

I am a “lurker” on your blog, but I have seen the issues you have been having with your server. I am a website designer and I use godaddy.com to host every site. In 8 years we have never had an issue. Another thought – use flickr.com. When you upload photos you can send them directly to your blog pre-formatted. It is so easy, and a great place to store your photos. E-mail me if you need any assistance, always happy to help out. My husband, Mickel, says he was your intern in youth group. He is friends with John. I stumbled on your blog through a blog when you posted your “slat” daybed. Anyway, let me know if I can help. It is crazy that they have left you hanging so long!
very helpful, thank you so much!
Definitely helpful….It’s also really helpful when you show us what settings you took your pics on.
Posts like this are SO VERY HELPFUL! I love getting tips from you.
Very helpful! I love your tips!
SO HELPFUL!!! Thanks so much!
The photo above is my favorite one out all of all the 100s I took on our vacation. It sums up Littlest Brother and our vacation to me. His sole objective in life right now is to play with his brothers and do what they do. If it is playing ping pong he doesn’t let…

What a great story these pictures tell! Love it!
Great pictures! I always get flack from my family when I take “artsy” photos and cut off my boys’ heads or focus on something else- so I’ll send them your way and you can explain the reasoning! 
Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!
These photographs are so neat!
I love this! So beautiful!
great pics.
I LOVE these pictures! Of course I love face shots too, but these kinds of pictures tell the details of the story we often miss……LOVE IT! I just love the picture of the two boys….best friends….it makes me happy to think my girls are best friends too!
those are my favorite kind of pics, your pictures are awesome as always!
What an adorable/great post and idea! I love everything about it!
I love your wrap!!! Is it a woven? (I loved my moby but once E hit about 15 pounds, it was just too stretchy and we were delegated to the mei tai only.) Where did you get it? I must know for whenever I get pregnant again!
I love that ping pong picture. Looks like a great vacation….creepy crawlies, legos, temple of doom…..a little (and big) boy paradise. Let me know when little sister is ready to go to the spa….I’m totally in on that vacation!

How fun! Love Biggest Bro running through the Temple of Doom. Sooooooooo brave!
I tried to email you back… Let me know if you didn’t get it. thanks.
I loved this post – I got a little teary… the fact that mine are getting bigger has been hitting me hard lately. You do good work girl!
There are so many things I love about this post, the first pick of Rhett, the coonskin lego hat and temple of doom…how fun!
I love the last one! You should get a poster size canvas of it and hang it in their room!
I mean really….how do you come up with such a creative way to take pictures? Love your blog. Have a great day.

Amy - She is so gorgeous!!!
Lori Danelle - I adored that age! All you had to do was walk in the room and you’d get the biggest smile and laugh—like you were the most important person to her ever and she had been waiting her whole day for you to walk through that door—even if you’d only been gone 5 minutes!!!
She’s absolutely stunning.
Shannon Phillips - She is a gem! She looks oh so snugly in these.
amanda torres - precious!
Casey - how sweet
christina larsen - Love baby smiles.
Mandy B - How is it that she keeps changing so much? She looks a lot like Corbett in that middle picture. She is so sweet!!
rachel denbow - What a beauty!
