Family

There are a lot of things wrong with this picture (it’s blurry and no one is looking at the camera)…but there are so many things right about it too. Andy dressed in his work on the house clothes because he’d just been stuffing insulation downstairs. Ben not standing in one place for longer than 3 seconds, but still being “gentle” with Colby. Colby putting up with Andy’s rough loving (leave it to me to marry the only guy I know who loves cats…)

I’ve always heard the saying “anything worth having is worth working hard for.” And these guys, my family, are definitely worth it.

Kevin, Anna and Easton (plus Charlie)

Last year I took newborn pictures of my friend Anna’s baby. Easton is turning 1 in a few weeks and Anna asked if I could do family pictures for them again. Definitely! I had so much fun with Kevin, Anna and Easton in their backyard. It was SO windy that day and their dog Charlie tried to photobomb the pictures, but I’m really happy with how they turned out. Such a cute family :)

I added some new songs to my exercise playlist and realized I have the most eclectic taste in music. Case in point, this is what’s currently on my phone:

Born This Way – Lady Gaga
Burn It Down – Linkin Park
Feel Again – OneRepublic
Party Rock Anthem – LMFAO
Supermassive Black Hole – Muse
California Girls – Katy Perry
It Happens – Sugarland
She’s Country – Jason Aldean
Give Me the Beat Boys – Bob Segar
Sideways – Dierks Bentley
What Makes You Beautiful – One Direction
More – Usher
I Got A Feeling – Black Eyed Peas
Just A Dream – Nelly
Backstreet’s Back – Backstreet Boys (shut up and stop laughing at me!)
Living on a Prayer – Bon Jovi
Halfway Gone – Lifehouse
One More Night – Maroon 5
Single Ladies – Beyonce

Little bit of country, hip hop, pop, rock and boy bands that should have stayed in the ’90s :) What are you listening to right now? What gets you moving? Anything I should try?

Ben is 2

by Heather | 3 Comments

We had Ben’s second birthday party this weekend. Just a small group came, mostly family, Ben doesn’t really have a ton of little friends yet. It was a loosely done Cars theme. Loosely meaning, he’s two…how all out do you really need to go? I made invites and mailed them out to people like two weeks before the party, but luckily people still came :)

I used some fabric from Joann’s for the table cloth. Throw in some balloons, fruit platter, some pizza and you’ve got yourself a birthday party.

I think this picture is hilarious. Andy’s mom confiscated his nerf gun before the party started and went on a rampage ;-)

Uncle Justin and Auntie Kate.

Eli, Heather and baby Casey. We have Casey’s picture on our fridge and Ben walks by it and says “kisses, baby Casey.” He didn’t quite connect that THIS was baby Casey though.

Ben isn’t the greatest with sharing and poor Easton wasn’t allowed to play with any of Ben’s toys. Easton would go for something and then Ben would run over and say “no no no” and try to take the toy back. In a brief moment of Ben distraction, Easton did eventually get to play with the digger in peace.

Sorry, I got a picture of the ladies while they were eating.

We had a slideshow of Ben pictures running in the background.

My friend Becky made the cake, it turned out so awesome!

I felt SO bad cutting into it!

“Nummy cake”

Family picture. Cheesy grins from Ben :)

Ben was so wiped by the end of the evening, he turned into zombie baby. Happy birthday little buddy!

Y Not Run?

The “Y Nots” are the ladies I run with from the Y. This morning they ran the Scarecrow 5k…it benefited Safe Journey, which helps victims of domestic violence. I couldn’t run this time because I didn’t have anyone to watch Ben, but Mr. Ben and I headed out to cheer the ladies on and take pictures.

Fall in Ohio

We also went hiking with Mark and Jenny during our visit. It was actually close to sundown and the weather looked like rain, but fall colors were beautiful.

We call this one “the creeper”
