Santa

Perfection!

Many Moods of Ridley

Our photographer posted a sneak peak on her website of our very own drama princess.  I absolutely love this, because it captures Ridley's moods and expressions perfectly.  LOVE!

Bluebonnets

We continued the bluebonnet photo tradition this year.  It was an absolutely horrible experience, and all three children were nuts.  NUTS!  The pictures came out beautifully, but we are down two shoes, lots of tears, and the clothes are ruined.  Somehow, body slam the bluebonnets is what this session turned into to. 

Pictures with Santa

Ryland, Reed, and Ridley put on their cute Christmas pajamas to take a few precious pictures with Santa.  I was hoping that Ridley would like Santa this year, but as the photos demonstrate, she isn't a fan.

Family Photos

I am so pleased with our photos this year.  It was a really rough day for me, and I didn't have our clothes together until an hour before.  It all came together.  I am shocked!

Silly Photography

I love when I find extra pictures on my phone.  These are a few silly pictures that Reed took one evening.  Thanks for the giggles, buddy.

1 Year Photos

I am blown away by these precious pictures of Ridley.  They are perfect, and I will treasure them forever.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Rainforest Cafe

I scheduled our annual family photos earlier this year in hopes of having them in plenty of time for Christmas.  John Chris and I promised the boys we would do something cool if they behaved and smiled for the pictures.  Of course, the bribery continued, and we promised lunch at Rainforest Cafe.  

The boys and I have been to Rainforest Cafe a few times, but I didn't realize John Chris had never been.  I could tell he was excited, and he played along very well.  Ryland and John Chris showed off their awesome head wear.

      Our table was right by the gorilla, and Reed acted like one.  Look at that face.

       

Ryland and Reed had a sweet moment.  I just love her expression!  Love!

        

Ridley and I say "cheese".

       

8 month photos

Our sweetheart, Ridley, is growing so quickly.  She has four teeth now that her top two came in on the same day.  Even though she is teething, she remains happy and sweet.  She loves to be held, and she has started "talking".  Her brothers absolutely adore her and love to play and entertain her.

7 month photos

Precious pictures!  I love to look back at these and see how much Ridley has grown.  She continues to be a total sweetheart. All the boys are totally smitten, and I can tell she will be spoiled rotten.

6 month photos

Ridley was mostly smiles today for her monthly photos.  She was an absolute ham and wanted to show off her clapping skills. She is such a happy, delightful baby girl! 

Family

We had family visit this weekend, and the kiddos had a great time.  Nana really wanted a few pictures of her grandchildren, but someone wouldn't participate.  Reed, Ryland, and Ridley know what happens when the camera comes out, and they immediately start posing.

Ally is getting a little closer to being in a picture, and I love the expression on Ridley's face.  

Here again, we were only able to get three of the four, but we did catch Ally smiling.

One Month Photos

It is hard to believe that my sweet baby, Ridley, is already a month old.  She is a total sweetheart and loves to cuddle and be in the middle of the chaos.  She enjoys taking baths, listening to music, and watching her brothers.  She is sleeping about 5 hours at night and her gas and digestive issues are improving.  We are starting to see her beautiful blue eyes, and little blonde hair is starting to grown in around her face.
