We Made It!

After months of planning and prep, advertising and bugging my blog friends, Pictures for a Purpose actually happened! It was a great day and I think that everyone is going to LOVE their pictures. I have a few connections *wink wink* and have seen some of my pictures already... lucky me. I am sharing them with you. Thank you Amy! I couldn't help myself and signed up with another photographer, Ashley Julian. I haven't received any of those yet (come on Ash :) but I am sure that they will be amazing!

Finny's Birthday Lunch

Finn's Gaga (my mom), Aunt Jenna (my brother's wife), his Cousin Landon and I were all able to go out to lunch this afternoon in honor of Finn's 1st Birthday. Our family was able to drive up for the weekend to celebrate with us. You can tell that Finn has felt really special since they've been here...

Happy 1st Birthday Finny!!

I can't believe that Finn is already 1 year old! We can't imagine our lives without him. We had a little party with our family out on the deck. It ended with Finny in tears, but I hope that he had a little fun and felt loved. Happy Birthday Finny! We are crazy about you!

I am Apparently Having a Grumpy Day

Everyone is laughing (everyone being Jesse) at me today because they say that I am a grump. Truth be told, I have been fluctuating between grumpiness and something a little less than grumpy. I don't really have a specific reason for being so grumpy either. This is frustrating for me because I definitely feel wronged somehow. :)... oops! I should change that to a :( face.

I am figuring that I am just tired and a little burned out. I think that I need a little time to myself and there isn't any in sight this weekend. Do you ever feel like this? Am I the only one?

I am sure that I will feel back to normal tomorrow. If not, Jesse may force me out of the house. What a good man.

My Son Finn

I love this picture of my almost 1 year old Finn for many reasons.
1) He is a fiesty little guy. You can totally see it in this shot.
2) It shows how old he is starting to look.
3) I think that he looks like a major mix of Jesse and I.
4) Finn seriously doesn't care what you want from him or what you think of him. You can see that here.
5) He is already giving is brother a hard time at age almost 1.
6) Liam took this picture of Finn. Pretty good.
