I Have A 1 Year Old...Oh.. Wait..

Seeing as how Evan is now 17th months. I figure I should get his one year pictures taken. Ha! And it has been a year since we have had Anna's done. Like I mentioned in the last post, I'm a slacker.
I figure Ross and I could jump in a few pictures so we'd have an updated family picture as well. To say it was cold is an understatement. My kids were freezing and Evan was not happy at all. But my amazing friend Brynn was able to get some good pictures out of the whole scenario - and she also got some of the silly faces my kids make...
and I am so glad she did. I love Evan's quirkiness and I always want to remember how fun he is right now. He makes me laugh all day long.


Or how Annabelle makes this face when she thinks something is funny and then forces her laugh.

Evan thinks suckers are the best thing in the world. I thought hey, this will make him happy and then we can get some good pictures. Nope. Then I can't take the sucker away cause that surely won't help the situation either. Blast!

Annabelle continues to amaze me with how smart she is. She loves school & is keeping up with the kids who are a year older than her. She can and will remember anything you ever tell her -which is great, but also backfires. Like the other day when she told Ross, 'Dad. Mom said if I keep leaving my stuff all around the house, she is going to start calling me, you.' Oops :) She can push my buttons like you wouldn't believe and is almost as stubborn as me so we definitely need our breaks from each other. ;) But I love her oh so much and I wouldn't change a thing cause it all makes her Annabelle.

I am in complete denial that I have a toddler. Nope. Though, I am pretty excited for nursery in a month. Evan wants to be just like his sister. Just last night he only wanted to drink from a water bottle and refused to eat dinner in his high chair. He walked over to the chair next to Anna and said 'cha, up' (chair. up.) He is trying to talk a lot more and is saying (trying) a new word every day..which is good considering he doesn't say much. lol.
Love that both my kids have the exact same strained smile in this picture.

I bet you can actually hear Anna saying 'cheese' in this picture if you listen hard enough.


Yep. Ross has continued the tradition and taught Evan to pull faces for pictures. Evan did this on his own. Ross and Anna soon followed. I had no choice but to give in. We're special :)

Cute family pic's! Sorry again that I missed the last reunion. I accidentally slept in, ya know, that whole fatigue thing being pregnant? Well, yes, we will have to plan another after the holidays, maybe not so early.....yes 10 is early for me!!! Sad, I know, but I have to live it up while I can!

Those are all so cute! I can't believe how much bigger Evan looks than just the last time we saw him and Anna's hair is getting so long. I love the family pic where the kids both have the same smile. Very cute!

Jenny said...

I know what you mean about getting behind on pictures. We've only managed to do ours once a year but um always in summer and Addie's b-day is in January, so yeah I'm lame. The pictures are super cute! For reals, please tell me it takes like 2 hrs for you to curl your hair like that...mine doesn't hold curl well enough to pull that off so I hate you just a little :)

Deamers said...

Those look really good I'm in the same boat, but I don't know who to have take them, because I don't want to have my sister do them, who did these? Your legs are way skinny by the way.

Unknown said...

Haley said...

Love the comment about leaving stuff around the house! So funny! You really have a darling family and all the personality in the world to go with it! If it makes you feel any better, I don't know if I even got Averie 1-year pics! What will happen to poor baby #3 remains to be seen!

Oh my goodness, I love the kids fake smiles, or real smiles, i guess? they are so adorable, I love the pictures! And I can't believe evan is already 17 months old, crazy how fast time goes by!

Marie said...

Such a cute family. It sounds like Dani and Annabelle would get along like bread and butter. She is a spitfire too. Hate that you look so great in skinny jeans. ;)

Marie Rose said...

absolutely love it. I'm in denal about my toddler too... Your family pictures are so stinking cute. Totally jealous. I feel ya on the sucker situation...Eden L.O.V.E.S. them and once it hits the mouth I have to pry it out of her and immediately throw it away when I can't handle the mess.

Stacia Cummings said...

Wow! What an adorable family. You all look fabulous. I love that you captured your personalities too. You have almost inspired me to do family pictures which we have not done since Graham has been born.

Deamers said...

Those are so cute. We are doing some on Saturday, our last family picture did not include Alice. Yikes! Anna looks so different it seems like a long time ago that we hung out, yikes again. I can't believe you will have a 4 year old soon.
