| Our youngest turned 2 on the 17th, but since our household has been crazy the last few days I haven’t had time to put this together! While I was going through endless files trying to pick out just a few from his first 2 years I realized how much he has grown. I guess because I am with him everyday the changes are slow and not as obvious to me. I watched this slide show in complete disbelief at what a little man he looks like and couldn’t help but be a little sad.
I always say how much fun this age is to photograph [and it is], but photographing my own 2 year old isn’t the same as photographing a stranger’s. I always take an observing approach to this age and it works like a charm. Trying to do much posing is detriment to your health, lol! Someone should have told me a long time ago to practice what I preach with my own toddler because today it finally hit me! I realized as I headed out to take Levi’s pictures that I don’t sit back and just watch him… i’m always trying to get him to mind me [and failing miserably]. So today I pretended like I was with a client and WALA, magic! I had so much fun and so did he!

Our family had a really good weekend. It was one of those weekends where you get some home improvement projects done and eat ice cream in the front yard. (and itch like crazy from all the chiggers!)
We ended our weekend with some slip-n-slide and water buckets…you know, the kind of play our kids used to do before DS and Wii were invented! Don’t get me wrong, I love the Wii (Wii fit to be exact), but really…kids need to get outside more don’t ya think?
Just as the sun was going down I snapped a few quick shots of my daughter (gotta love that sunflare!), but her big brother had some vicious ideas to get her! I got it all, and then she got him too! Just so you can see how my kids really behave I put together this little slideshow, ENJOY!
Ahh sunflare.
and here is the show…

Love all this wonderful sunshine, I think the black and white shot is the best, great feel to it!

Well, today I finally gave in, and took my ‘baby’ to get his haircut…for the First time! I have been dreading cutting it for two reasons. One being the idea of him looking older, and the other not knowing if he would be one of those that screams and cries. To my delight he was just a dream! He sat in his seat, sucking on his lollipop just as content as could be. Of course his mother just jumped around taking pictures, I mean what else would I have done?
When we pulled in the driveway he was asleep. My little guy looked so sweet, and I thought to myself that this could be one of my last chances that he looks like a baby asleep. I pulled out my camera and started taking pictures of all my favorite things, his eyelashes, puckered up lips, toes, etc. The last two pictures were taken in his car-seat just to prove a great picture can happen anywhere!
Her he is with Miss. Trudi, our fabulous hairstylist. You can find her at Illusions in Bentonville! 
Til next time,
Mindy
