Photo Shoot.

This morning as Jonah and I were relaxing on the couch, I noticed he was especially "smiley". I got a few shots with my phone and then I ran for my camera. If I am going to captures these heart warming grins, might as well do it right!

By the time I got everything ready for my Jonah "photo shoot" he was way over being that super smiley little bug. Now he was just ho-hum.

I still got some good shots out of it! :)

Forgive Me.

Here are quite a few posts for your reading enjoyment.

I know I said I would be consistent with this blog...but who knew that a school ager, two toddlers and a newborn would keep you so busy! :)

Six.

Happy birthday my sweet, sweet girl.

Juliana has a fun filled sixth birthday. On Friday night, we celebrated with Grammy and Tom. On Saturday, we went to a friend's birthday party at a gymnasium....lots and lots of fun to be had! On Sunday, Juliana and daddy when to dinner and then to a movie - "Where the Wild Things Are." (She was absolutely glowing when she got home.) And on Wednesday, Juliana and mommy went to get haircuts and dinner.

Here is my special girl with her very boring birthday cake. (It's what she wanted. ) :)

Caramel Apples.

I love fall. It is by far my favorite time of the year....crisp air (not so much here until Feb.), foliage (not so much here unless it is summer and the leaves are changing colors because they are dying), pumpkin ANYTHING (yes, we still have pumpkins here in Tejas). I miss Cleveland around this time of the year....

Juliana had off for Columbus day and we decided to make it a fall day! We painted leaves, made pumpkins out of play-doh and made caramel apples!

We went out for a walk to try to find sticks to put in the apples instead of popsicle sticks - saw it in a magazine....well here is what Juliana found:

(That was the extent of sticks....they were itty, bitty twigs. So daddy went out back and cut down a small branch and we sectioned off four sticks for our apples.)

Juliana is unwrapping the caramels:

(The un-caramelized apple is daddy's. He wanted to dip his apple instead. :) )

Grilled Cheese and Bacon.

My friend Tammy is the BEST. She is from Tennessee. She LOVES Starbucks. And she feeds her family bacon every other day, if not every. LOVE her. Well, she has these famous grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches, the kind that just looking at them will literally clog your arteries. And...she made them for us!! :)

Holy bacon, batman!

Sandwiches in the works.

Welcome to Texas! Jeremiah's FIRST legal shotgun. :)

"Bacon makes me want to shoot stuff.." - Sheriff Lamson.

"Bacon makes me want to fight crime and protect the innocent." -Super hero Jack.

"The smell of bacon makes me sleepy." - Sleepy Jonah

"Bacon makes me thirsty." - Three juice boxes Jacie.

I should also point out that the first bacon Jacie has ever had was introduced by Tammy. Way to be an enabler Tammy, way to go. :)

Jonah.

When they say "time flies when you're having fun", they aren't kidding. I cant believe how HUGE my little guy is!

Where on earth did the time go??

Home Sweet Home.

The Lamsons packed up shop and moved to a new casa two weeks before Jonah was born and Juliana started school. Here are some pics of the place we call home. :)

We LOVE this house! One story, quiet street with cul-de-sac and LOTS of shady trees. :)

Jack's THIRD Birthday.

My Jack turned three(!) on September 6th.... Here is a photo collection of a few highlights on his special day. :)

Birthday waffle: chocolate chips and whipped cream included.

Jack has been WAY into 'Yo Gabba Gabba" as of late. The show consists of five semi-scary, semi-friendly alien, creatures and one super flamboyant DJ -DJ Lance Rock, with a boom box. Here is mommy's rendition of Yo Gabba Gabba....

GP, this van reminded me of you.... and Jack was SO excited to add Filmore to his collection. :)

Happy birthday big boy! :)
