Pictures of The Girls Just Because

I have started buying backdrops and photography stuff to take my own pictures. I may have mentioned this in a previous post but I can’t remember. I had these cute nice boutique outfits for the girls so I wanted to get a picture of them in the outfits before Paisley outgrows her. She still has some room to grow so I am hoping they can wear them a lot over the next couple of months.

I am practicing with my own kids and actually have my first “paid” session this next weekend. I will also be taking our niece Landry’s 1 year photos next month too. I don’t think I am perfect or really professional but you have to start somewhere, right?  I do have a nice camera and love taking pictures of my kids so why not try to be professional ha-ha!

My girls!

Sweet Payton

 

Sweet Paisley!!

I love this one… because it isn’t perfect and it’s just them being them!!

 

Playing Outside

Yesterday afternoon it was so nice out! We got to enjoy a little time out there. Payton even wanted to eat her dinner outside.

Swinging and being super silly!! I think she was just so glad to be outside!

       

 

Being more silly!!! Gosh I love her!

Love afternoons like this!! :)

Ornaments

This past week Kristina and I made homemade Christmas ornaments. We used clear ornaments that came from Hobby Lobby, some glitter from Hobby Lobby, and some Mop and Glow from Kristina’s cleaning supply bucket!!

I don’t have pictures of step by step, because well- I was thinking at the time. So I just took some pictures of the finished product. Kristina found the idea on Pinterest. Just add a little mop and glow to the clear ornament, swoosh it around, and once that is done you can add your glitter. Just shake the ornament until the glitter is in there evenly! And Tah-Dah!! You have new ornaments.

I used black, green, red, and a white. The white didn’t show up that great, but it looks like it is frosted so I guess they look kind of cool.

They have all different shapes and sizes of clear “DIY” ornaments at Hobby Lobby. If you are looking for new ornaments or want to add something different to your tree, I suggest doing this. It is very simple. I thought it would take a long time and be super messy. But,, wasn’t bad at all.

Now these litter suckers… well yeah they were a bit hard. Only because the opening to them was very small.. So that is why you see excess glitter around some of them! :)

These were or are my favorite. They were the easiest and really the prettiest to me.

There is one missing from here… I guess the clear part of the box came off.. and well I dropped one and it broke!!

That is about all the shapes and sizes I did. I am hoping I have enough to go on my tree and mix with some of the red and white ones I already have. If not, I guess I will go get more and decorate some more! I can’t wait to decorate for Christmas!! :)

Enjoying Our Time Outside

I had the girls for a little bit Monday morning. It was pretty nice out. Parker let me know that it was!! :) Then, I had them all day today. We went out and played for a bit too!!

Grace.. the only one that would CHEESE for me!!

 

They were playing basketball.

Such a CUTIE!!!

IN and OUT of the playhouse… A LOT

Payton is sort of in Parker’s way.. You can tell by her their faces…

Back in the playhouse

Did a little swinging.

Then, today…. they played in the playhouse again… but didn’t take pictures. Then, they decided they wanted to play in the sand/water cart. I let them. They got dirty. It was FUN.

Payton, little toot wouldn’t look at me.

 

 

I stripped them all down, then took them inside and gave them a bath!! The bath was hard work! Sand everywhere!!! But, like I said… it was fun!! Love my girls!!!
