Family Pictures

it's always good when we can sucker a friend into using my camera and snapping some family pictures for us to keep up the yearly tradition!

6 months {Drew Calvin}

our chunky monkey is a happy little man who...

loves chewing on things

rolls all around our floors

cries when he hears loud noises

sleeps like a champ

has most squeezeable  thigh rolls

enjoys watching his brother and sister play!

i can't believe he is half a year old!!!

now a picture overload because i can never decide which ones to post. 

he is just too darn cute!

he was really unsure about the grass...

 until dad came to see him!

Elsa Dress

just like 5 billion other girls this Halloween, Emma wants to be Else from the movie Frozen. The problem is that the only dress up dresses they sell at walmart are size 4-6x....but really more like a size 4T. Emma is 5 so you would think that would work. nope. she is in size 6-7. awesome. so unless i wanted to spend 50+ bucks on easy (ya right) i had to whip out the sewing machine and get to work. the best part is that the fabric, velcro, and diamond thing only ran me about $10 bucks. 

it took me a few hours and a few times of ripping out seams but i finally finished. although it's not perfect, emma was ecstatic about it and that's all that mattered to me. 

i totally made this ups, no pattern, and no tutorial. sorry guys. but your guess is probably better than mine on how to make your own : )

and superman wanted to join in the fun!

....now to keep this dress in somewhat good shape until halloween! 

Emma is 5!!!

happy 5th birthday to my sweet emma. 

i love you!
