Jayce, Lexi & Maya's Photos

Atleast once a year, we like to take Maya and her two cousins, Jayce & Lexi to get pictures done! Last year was a breeze! Maya was 3 weeks old and Lexi was 1yr. Then for easter we did it again and it went pretty well, Maya was about 4 months old and Lexi was just over a year. Well this year we decided to take them to sears in mattoon and get their photos done there, we chose to do them in Red, but not Christmas backgrounds. So we loaded up moms car with Jayce, Lexi, Maya, Ashley, Mom & Myself. Getting three kids to smile and sit where we wanted wasn't as easy as we had hoped!!! but all turned out great! And they look adorable!! Jayce loved the whole picture taking experience he wanted them to take more! We were very happy for this, he normally isn't a fan of picture taking!!! After all the snapping of photos was over it was time to pick out the picture package we wanted and what poses! That was a blast, try telling a one year old and two year old to sit down while we look at pictures!! haha not going to happen. We still are not sure what all we ordered! But we did order the cd of all the shots so here are a few of the shots they had taken!! We are dreading it next year with 4 kids!!



This is Lexi (23 months) and Jayce (6yr) getting two siblings in a picture was a blast! Jayce really didn't want his sister on him and Lexi wanted to get up and get away! But after a few tries we got it! ANd they are just so cute!!


Lexi she was loving the christmas ortaments!

Trick or Treat

Maya's 2nd year trick or treating! Last year she was only 4 days old and we only went to grandparents! This year we went to grandparents and a few family & friends. This year we decided to dress Maya as a ladybug! And when it came to looking for the outfit i couldn't find one i really liked... i looked and finally found the one i wanted, but WOW the price!! So i though, you know i bet i could just make it!! So i sat down and looked at the picture and made my own!! And i have to say she looked adorable!! and the price was MUCH better!!! It was very simple, made a tutu, sewed some wings added black dots & some rhinestones for sparkle!! Black onesize and antinna's! I added the lady bug on the front of the onesize and it said "Cute as a" and had the lady bug! I was very pleased! And it was comfy for maya to wear around all night.

She had lots of fun diggin into candy buckets, but didn't want to put the candy back down!


Maya & her cousin Vayda the cute little pumpkin.


Maya & Cousin Lexi the cute little witch!! niether one wanted to wear there head piece!! But they look cute anyways!! Although they really didn't want to stop playing for a picture!!



Maya digging into Grandma Mac's candy bucket!!

She's off and running!!

Well i guess all it took was singing Happy Birthday to her! Just a day after her birthday, Maya decided to take off walking!! We were playing with her in the livinging room and her Daddy stood her up and said "Ok Maya go get Mommy!" And sure enough she took off! She took 7 steps over to mommy and was ready for some more!! We were so excited we had to call grandma & Grandpa Landreth and Cammon & Tell them! Now we are full force ahead! She will stand up and take off on her own! Now just wait for the running!!!
