Holiday Hands - 20 Months (20 Nov 2008)

Tagged, We Were It - 17 Months (31 Jul 2008)

We were tagged by my friend, Dani, to do a Flickr Meme on page 6 of my Flickr account. Of course since all the pictures taken these days are of Little Red, guess what was on page six?

One day after doing the one kind of shopping that I actually hate, A decided to have some fun. When you are a child, there is nothing better to play with than empty boxes, crinkly snack bags, empty beer bottles (just kidding we use those as snazzy candle holders for holiday centerpieces--dontcha wanna come to my house for turkey?), and grocery sacks. Silly me, I wasted time actually buying food when all I had to do was grab some bags and serve em up!!

I know I said no politics on the baby's photoblog, but if you haven't already, grab yourself some reusable bags. I've gotten tons of them for free and just picked up some more freebies last week. Now if I can just remember to put them back in the car, we will be all set to save the planet.

Last order of business before I head to bed, tagging. I hereby tag
Kristine, Brent, Sonya, Jane, and another Christine (payback for feeding the fabric addiction--hehe). Oh, if you don't have a page six in Flickr, any favorite photo will do.

Dirty Basement Door - 18 Months (23 Aug 2008)



Fingerprints

~Author Unknown~

Sometimes you get discouraged because I am so small
And leave my little fingerprints on furniture and walls.

But everyday I'm growing and soon will be so tall
That all these little fingerprints will be difficult to recall.

So here's a little handprint that you can put away
So you will know how my fingers looked on this special day
.


I actually just came across this handprint recently when I was putting something away in the basement. It was from a day that Ainsleigh made her first attempt at fingerpainting. It's just one of those things you have to capture on film before it's erased by time and a paint job.

Tying One On at the Art Fair - 18 Months (21 Sept 2008)

A yearly rite of passage here in Kansas City is the Plaza Art Fair. For all the things about Misery that I dislike, the Plaza is one thing that I love. It's a beautiful outdoor space that not only offers great shopping, but beautiful architecture, fountains, good food, and fantastic people and canine watching. The star of the art fair this year, besides Ainsleigh Jayne, of course, was this fabulous dress by Bethany Peterson. What lady wouldn't love to twirl in something so lovingly made, soulful, unique, and just downright pretty. For little A the day was made complete with her very first balloon animal bracelet, a purple elephant.

It was summer, it was hot and I'm not sure my child has been this dirty and sweaty since. She loves helping Grandma in the garden.

Rolling w/ a Holstein - 20 Months (3 Nov 2008)





The cow hat by Matilda Jane has quickly become a favorite. Surprisingly, it goes with lots of things which is good because it's almost become a toss up between it and the wacky hat (see Oct 27th Post). The peasant in these pictures are from A's first birthday outfit that was a stunning little number done by the very talented, Cammie at My Little Fairy Tales. The pictures can't show the little details in this top that make it so awesome.

I think the pictures speak for themselves. The little boy in the first thumb is A's 3 year-old cousin, Hoyt, who is currently in treatment for leukemia.

Little Pumpkin - 20 Months (30 October 2008)

I know, the pumpkin patch pics should have come BEFORE the Halloween and voting pics, but there were so many. We took Grammy to the patch with us and it was a perfect Fall day. Little A really enjoyed the hayride complete with some really wacky music. She also really enjoyed riding the peddle carts with her daddy.

Rockin the Vote - 20 Months (4 Nov 2008)




We couldn't let what will perhaps be the most historic election of our lifetimes pass without Ainsleigh taking part. She put on her Red, White and Blue from 4th of July and a voting she did go. The RWB donkey above named "Lefty" is one of her favorites as is "Phant" her elephant puppet. We are an independent household and since I promised myself to keep this blog clear of politics, all I will say is she was doing a little cheering when Ohio was called!!

Witchy Poo - 20 Months (31 Oct 2008)

Ainsleigh was a not so wicked witch for Halloween. She attended a party in the morning and did some light trick-or-treating in the evening. Her favorite part was handing out candy from the witch's cauldron to neighborhood kids. Note, the pumpkin Jack carved for her--Scooby Doo!

Jacked Up - 19 months (18 October 2008)

I love "Nightmare Before Xmas" and had to have this hoodie for Ainsleigh cause it was just so stinkin cute. The pictures in color are okay, but the black and white really make "Jack" pop. Ainsleigh found an old pair of my sunglasses and they went perfectly with this ensemble that was completed with deco jeans that have a t-shirt to match. I actually love the big picture of this so much that I may have to have a larger copy made for our walls. Talk about attitude...

Since we are doing black and white today, I thought it only appropriate that one of our favorite things in black and white get a spot in today's post as well. That's Kegan who loves a camera, but is very shy otherwise, when he was about a year-old. One of my all-time favorite pics.

About Me

My photo
I was born in Southern California and spent my teenage years and most of my young adult life growing up in the Kansas City area. After living in Chicago for six years, I'm now back in the KC area and not so much loving every second. I'm a SAHM to one feisty little redhead, Ainsleigh Jayne, married to my best friend, Jack, and dogmom to four "flying monkeys", Kegan, Piper, Beamish and Scarlett.
