"Farmers eat lots of CORN Mom!"

Farmer Milo has been a farmer for a few months now. He is completely obsessed with farming equipment. We found this "farmer's hat" at DI (gross, huh?). He wears it all the time with his farmer work clothes (overalls). He was telling me all about how farmers eat LOTS of corn cause when they are out harvesting their crops with their combines, they might get hungry. SO.......logically, they eat lots of corn.

My kiddos!

Ok......I know it looks as if I just took them down to the studio, sat them down, and in one click got an OK picture. SO NOT TRUE! I can't describe the agony it was to get both kids to look at me for even one second. I am just glad Milo isn't pulling one of his all-too-famous
5 year old boy faces. You know, the bottom teeth inches in front of the top teeth, or the tongue sticking out, or the one where it looks like severe constipation is taking over. Anything but a semi-normal smile! Oh well.....I guess it's great to get anything you can get sometimes. I was in the studio with them for over an hour. Malia was whacking her head against Milo's, which made him cry. Her back was merely touching his arm which sent him into a fit. I just think I really do need to hire a photographer to capture their true personalities. I really don't impress them much. :)

oh dear!

OH MY! This baby is killing me. She is so cute! I seriously need to hire a photographer to take pictures of her though. It is MISERY to try and get her to sit still and look at me. I'm old news, I think. Here, she is wedged in a chair and can't move her legs. I'm such a mean Mommy!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Oh my. :( I just cannot believe that she is already one. It seriously breaks my heart. I want to freeze her just the way she is. I just love her so much. She is learning so much every day. She's started talking so much. She loves to say Mi-LO! It's too cute.

Gooooooood Morning!!!!

Hehe! :) I love morning hair on little girls! It's the BEST! I remember my head hurting when I'd take my ponytails out at night. I'd have to rub and rub my head to make it feel somewhat normal. Of course, my mom used this nasty blue spray that she got at a salon, and it was liquid GLUE! She bought the concentrated stuff, so mixed it in a household spray bottle. Oh my....did it ever look like a bottle of windex! Yikes. I do not miss "blue spray".

Whatever you do....do NOT smile!

Mom...I'm doing my own hair today!

The boy means what he says! He wouldn't let me touch it. Hehe. It's not too bad except for the massive, full swoop comb-over!

CHEESE!

It's pretty rare that Milo will even smile for me when I have the camera out. He really gets sick of me taking his pics. I guess he was in a good mood this day! What a cute boy. I can't believe he is already 5 years old. He's starting Kindergarten this Fall and I'm not thinking about it. It's tripping me out!

Seriosly?????

Seriously Malia?! Can you not just crack a tiny little smile for me? PLEASE????? I guess not! I have had so much fun making Malia dresses. Maybe because some of the size little girl 5 shorts don't fit her, and I really can't imagine buying my 11 month old size 6x. I remember my mom buying ME size 6x. It just isn't right. :o Anywho......what a sweetheart!

I'm in Love!

I am so in love with this babooshka! I just can't stop taking her picture. She is kind of a stinker and won't let me catch her smiling. That would just be too easy, huh? I will keep trying and trying and trying.
