Wedding & Engagement Photography Blog From Twin Cities MN

It’s April…the windows are opening, breeze brings in fresh air, smells of summer and sun…these are the days that make people move to Minnesota! 70 degrees and total perfection! And as much as I hate to say it, “It inspires me to clean!” But enough of that and back to being outside with the kids and playing at the park.

Here’s Adriah playing peekaboo!

Adriah’s almost 2 and everything is getting to be so fun! She’s her own little person and is “Miss Independant” about everything. We went to the park with our friends Dave (who Adriah calls “Wave”), Vicki (called “Wicki”), and their kids.

Jude…just hanging out! this kid could hang there all day! He’s crazy strong and loved chillin’! We may have a future gymnast in our midst! 

I LOVE THIS SHOT! Doesn’t it make you want to tickle him like crazy? He’s yelling and having a ball!

Big sister (Delaney) loved the monkey bars! It’s that love-hate relationship between, “Leave me alone/I want to do it myself” and “Where are you going?/Don’t let me fall, Mommy!”

Matt and I decided to take a birthing class at Southdale when I was pregnant with Adriah. It was once a week for 8 weeks and we always sat by the same couple (Jim and Sandy) and shared candy! Our friendship was destined to last! Now our little girls are turning two…

They live out in the country and have a couple of horses so, of course, there’s no competing with that kind of party entertainment! Not to mention the “gator”! Driving and playing with her Daddy…Adriah had a blast!

Ashley is beautiful and a little mischievous…in this shot she has just poured a shovel full of dirt into a her friend Cole’s hair!

She thought it was the funniest thing AND I got great shots.

There’s is so much joy in seeing kids play…I was thinking about keeping her tights clean; she was pouring sand down her onsie! I was trying to stop her from hurting herself; she’s wanting to climb high and come down the slide “All by herself!” 

I know these toddler days are short and I try to savor every moment! I’m told they go by too quickly so I give her tons of kisses and tell her every day how much I love her! There’s not a lot terrible about this two year old.

When I saw Brianna this week she was looking a ton better! She’s had weeks of morning sickness but Friday was a good day! She’s happy to report that at 14wks she’s measuring 25wks! All the babies are doing great…growing like crazy. She should be able to feel them move really soon!

Brianna’s lost 16lbs since she got pregnant and this week finally returned to her start weight. It hasn’t been easy because of the nausea but, as far as I’m concerned she’s a trooper and doing great! Look at that great belly! I love seeing this miracle form in front of me! Check out new developments on their website.

Funny Story…Brianna doesn’t get out much but when she does and when it comes out that she’s only 14wks and having 6 babies she hears all different reactions.

Here’s one of our favorite CRAZY comments, “Well, you guys sure got yourselves into a pickle!” OR “Oh, six babies…did you plan that?”

Here’s a better story: She went to Clinique last week for some foundation and when they found out her “gentle condition” they went crazy with excitement saying, “YOU NEED A GIFT!” So within minutes, a dozen ladies surrounded her giggling and cheering her on…she left with new mascara and lots of other goodies! More then that, she left smiling!

One more story…earlier in the week…Brianna woke up, threw up and then asked for her favorite salt and vinegar chips (nothing but, Target brand - Archer Farms). LOL. Chips hit spot at 7 am.

There is nothing combining 2 passions; photography and my little girl! I was invited by a couple other mom photographers to shoot our kids (with cameras ) I wanted to show you some of the shots we got from Thursday morning…

My friends Stacey Thon and Erin Johnson are amazing photographers!  If you haven’t yet, you have to check out their websites! Anytime I can’t do a wedding I love recommending them!

This was my view from our deck this morning…7am-ish.

Seriously…It’s beautiful! But it’s time for it to melt away and be gone! Anyone else got an opinion on it?
