Professional Pics of the Boys!!!!

I had the pleasure of meeting with a photographer I met on a message board and she was kind enough to take pictures of the boys and let me observe her in action. I can't believe how incredibly easy she made things look. To be honest, the boys appeared to be so uncooperative that I was certain she'd email me 20 shots of the back of their heads or half-closed eyes. When I saw them my jaw literally dropped. I've never seen them look like this in pictures! I learned so much by watching her (mainy that I have a loooong way to go). By the way, her name is Paula Hickson and her website is http://www.paulahicksonphotography.com/. She's based in Magnolia but will travel up to 20 or 30 miles for sessions (not sure which one) and she is a genuine sweetheart. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures! Oh, and we're taking requests for prints as Christmas presents:).

So Let Me Get This Straight...

You want to nap in a collared shirt, socks, tennis shoes and a bare booty? Got it.

This is how I found Caleb after his nap. He INSISTS on sleeping with his feet fully dressed but is apparently far less rigid when it comes to his nether regions.

How's THIS for a Photo Shoot?

What you have here is proof that sneaking into a private school and using their fall scene as a backdrop without permission does not produce good results. But it did give us a laugh. I'm guessing these won't make it into my portfolio.

(They spotted an AIRPLAAAANE!)

Little Frankensteins

Stevie was in charge of Halloween costumes this year and after much struggling to reach a middle ground (he wanted them dressed as shirtless gladiators...I wanted them dressed as a cow and a chicken) Frankenstein was the closest we came to an agreement. They looked adorable in them but as soon as we dressed Braxton to go to the museum that Thursday, we were boldly reminded that he is not a fan of one-piece outfits. He couldn't get to his beloved belly button and we knew it would make for a less than pleasant evening if we didn't do something about it. So what did we do? We cut a slit in the center of his $35 Frankenstein costume. It took a while for him to get the logistics of his new belly hole, but eventually he figured it out and was picking away at it like nothing. Oh, and the children's museum didn't even happen- the line was wrapped around the building! You'd swear they were giving away cars in there. Maybe they were. We went out to dinner instead and the boys had a ball throwing their food onto the floor and waving at strangers.

Halloween day we had plans to trick or treat but Stevie was in super protective mode and said he didn't want us eating poisonous candied apples and razor blade chocolates. I tried to explain that all we had to do was take the candy and throw it away, but he wasn't having it. So we went to the park with all the other freak dads. It was actually a lot of fun and the boys didn't miss their candy one bit. And no one was poisoned.

Oh yeah, and THEY'RE WALKING! It's by no means their preferred mode of transportation but they can definitely do it. Look below.
