our little human bean!

I can't believe it has been two weeks since the little bean has been born. He is starting to get chubba, but still not big enough for me to kiss on him hard!, still waiting, but enjoying every minute with him!

Cinco De Mayo cousins

Here is a nakie shot of Miles with his cousin Eva Marie, both born on May 5th.
Who would have thought that Jessie and I, bosom cousins, would grow up to both marry Ben's that are both artists that decide to work together and then have babies born on the same day? kinda weird, but it worked out just great!

Introducing Miles Claibourne Mcpherson!

We welcomed our new baby boy into the world on Wednesday May 5th at 10:55 am he weighed in at 6 pounds 12 ounces and 19 inches! We didn't know we could make boys, but we did and he is perfect! Ben named him Miles Claibourne, and I think it suits him just right!
Many more pictures to come!!

Blossoms

I have been trying to get out and take photos of my two dotters in the blossoms, so when my super talented friend, Leah offered to take some, I was sooo excited! we thought it would make for a fun Fathers day gift! and I am sure Ben won't see these till then because he is way too busy to go blog hopping, so I thought it would be safe to post!
this first one is of Olea and her bestest friend, Lucy!




Here is one I managed to get of Olea that I love! Bella was too busy exploring with Isaac for me to get one of her!

Easter at Grandmas

Grandma threw her annual easter egg hunt a week later, which was perfect because you could actually go outside without a jacket or coat on! the girls had been counting down the days until we got to go! the hunt was a success as always, all cousins there and baskets of colored eggs and candy were filled to the brim, even a few coins for the piggy banks.

Birthday boy!

Happy Birthday sweet husband of mine! Your the most amazing man I know! I love you!!

sure wish you would let me take more pictures of you so I don't have to do repeats on the blog!

raggedy ann partay!

I asked coco what she wanted for her birthday and she told me she wanted her very own cake, a pink ball and some makeup. She got just what she wanted plus a raggedy ann party! I wish it could stay this easy, but they do have to grow up, and I don't like that thought too much! she is at such a cute age and I am loving every minute of it!
these photos are all sorts of blurry, :( new lenses and camera in the works!

Grandma made her this super princess party dress!


this cake is a little scary, and could promote nightmares, but I was short on time!

doughnut cake from Grandma!

Thursday was Olea's birthday, but we weren't going to celebrate until Saturday when we would have her party. I was feeling kind of bad because I didn't have anything planned for that day, but told her it was her birthday when we woke up that morning, and she kept saying that she wanted a cake! then the doorbell rang and it was Grandma! She had the girls sit down and started layering up their favorite powdered doughnuts and told them a story of a little brown eyed girl that wanted a doughnut cake for her birthday, (it was me from a long time ago!) she lit the candles and Olea blew them out, she was so excited! and made for a perfect birthday!

My Coco is 3 today!

Olea Grace (Coco),
i absolutely Love your size right now
i love that you still love to snuggle
i love to hear you sing somewhere over the rainbow
i love your intense and infectious laugh
i love your floppy body when you run
i love your little chub just above your elbows
i love the raspiness in your voice
i love that you are content just playing by yourself
i think its funny that your favorite food is peanut butter on a spoon
i love that you want me to curl your hair all the time and where my high heals
i sometimes leave your hand prints on the mirror and TV for days just to remind
myself that you wont stay little for long!
you are my sunshine!

(Grandma made raggedy ann dolls for all the granddaughters, now its time to prepare for a raggedy ann party!)

Tessa

This is Tessa, my little Niece who just turned two. she's not very fond of smiling at the moment, but we did manage to get a few fun expressions out of her!

olea GRACE!

my black eyed baby, Olea Grace is just like her mom, a little clumsy! after looking out the window to see the crazy snowstorm we had last week, she turned around and ran right into the corner of the desk! it was immediately swollen with a dark purple center! she gave a cry like none I had heard before, I knew it hurt bad! so sad! these photos are taken a few days after. To make her feel a little better about her (eye makeup) I went and bought a small barrel curling Iron to give her bouncy curls because she is always wanting her hair curled! she's so girly and yet not so much, my perfect little combo!

My two chefs

How lucky am I? My man likes to cook gourmet, and daughter wants to be like him! I love a good salmon dish, its my favorite! especially when these two make it!

little italy

little italy is not so little anymore! Rohme is growing like crazy, and I love it! I got to babysit the other night, check out those cheeks! and my favorite, knuckle dimples!
