I was on top of my game this year when it came to our family holiday card. Maybe it was because Oliver Beckett Photography has pretty much all but come to an end. Maybe it’s because I wasn’t waiting on a “holiday” picture and just used a few of my favorite images from Instagram—like we […]

I had plans to spend one of the past weekends with my hubby at the American Royal but the weather was a little cold and things just weren’t looking to play out like we envisioned so while he BBQ’d all weekend, I loaded the car up and headed home for some family time. We hadn’t […]

If you have followed along on here or through Facebook you know that when it comes to my kids and their milestone birthdays I always have Ms. Katy from Katy Gitto Photography capture their adorable smiles–I honestly never thought I would have my kids in front of anyone else’s camera, besides my own. & then […]

We had sunshine. We had rain. Why wouldn’t we have a day full of wind?! It was actually so windy that they basically shut the beach down–sand bursts were happening & pelting guests in the face. We had these grand plans of spending more time at the beach and less time at the pool but […]

Tonight I am taking a moment to brag on my biggest, little man. He has been potty trained since the end of May but have been wearing pull-ups at night just to be sure. There have been mornings where he has waken up completely dry but then there are MORE mornings were its not. So […]

UPDATE 12/24/2015: So this is crazy but it looks like this little post is getting a lot of attention right now & that is nice and all but I should warn that I am not great at responding to comments–Sorry. This post is really about documenting my boys and their life, it’s their scrapbook. With […]
