Bright eyed and bushy tailed

Baby Callie decided to make up her own rules for our photoshoot....She decided that there would be NO sleeping;o) She decided that no matter what her mommy did she would stay wide awake for every picture....No complaining her though, she was amazing....I mean this little darling was so good the whole time from being moved around from place to place and a camera being snapped in her face the whole time, she barely let out a whimper:o) And just let me add how I LOVE her dark hair....It is the cutest ever<3 Welcome to this world baby Callie, we are super glad that you are here

The camo, 4-wheeling, fun snow day

Ok, so of course I just had to do it....The boys wanted to play in the snow, so what does mommy think of....dahdahdah...her camera...I know what you are all probably thinking, you should have played in the snow with them...well I did...for like 3 hours to be exact!!! Sooo when Joe Joe came home it was time for a mini photoshoot...Well, first of course since he had just got finished deer hunting he was starving so we all went inside to warm up and I made up a pizza...As we were sitting at the kitchen table eating I said to the boys, all 3 of them, "what to you guys think about a photoshoot in your camo?" The responses I got was UUGGGHHH, not a photoshoot, and not today, and I don't want to, and on and on....So basically I had to pull rank and tell them that because I am the mommy we had to do a photoshoot, hahaha....and I really said hahahaha.....Well, they were not to happy about it, but there was a catch, before we went to do the "photoshoot" we were gonna hook the sled up to the 4-wheeler and pull them around to make them once again happy:o) And dahdahdah, it worked, we are genius:o) Enjoy the pics, they had fun as well as me and Joe...We enjoyed our snow that we finally got
