This or That Thursday~ Sunshine & baseball in December


This kid.
This kid, never ceases to amaze his mama.
Not only will the NFL be signing their future quarterback at the age of 3,

Hello world Series!


Daddy is a huge baseball guy.
It's super adorable that he simply can't wait to coach Jax's little league team.
It will literally be one of the high lights of his life.
I LOVE that about him.
Daddy & jax have been practicing there mad skills. YO.

Check out our little All Star...


Falkor (our dog) is the assistant coach. 

(Pep talk)


Had to take a break to spy on the neighbors! Lol)

capturing beauty in sticky fingers, & happy wrinkled toes


Taking a morning bath with Henry, the Yellow Giraffe.
Why a morning bath, you ask?
Well. That's a funny story...

Let's just say Jax got syrup & peanut butter in some pretty crazy places!
(including a bit in his left ear.)

(Note to self: have you (me) really not learned not to leave the room
(even if it is only for a 62 seconds)
while a monkey, named Jax, is eating french toast?
Come on!
Get it together mama.)

Gosh. This boy's smile makes all the sticky messes just disappear.
I am SO whipped.
,
I LOVE how he can sometimes be Mr Serious.

I love the Curious George in you, my sweet little boy.
I can just hear all the thinking going on in that cute head!

The want you have to learn how every little thing works.
(Including the bathtub)

I still can't get over how lucky I am to hold this hand,
AND
to give that round belly kisses.

You make the simple every day things
pretty extraordinary.

Even when things get sticky,
& even if our house permanently smell like maple syrup!
Lol.


Your Daddy & Mommy are just smitten with you.
You are our sunshine, Jaxy boy!!

 for the 1st time Capturing Beauty !

i heart faces~ My what cute feet you have!

If you are what you eat...
Then, my Jax would be a giant jar of Jif.

Seriously.
If all else fails,
he'll eat ANYTHING as long as it has PB on it.
(Please don't ask how I know this. lol)

When I was looking for a picture for this week,
I kept on coming back to this one.
(Sorry, you may have seen it once before on Scavenger Hunt.)
I changed it up a bit,
 & put the focus on those oh so cute feet!

My favorite tootsies in the world for
 "This Little Piggy..."

Really just my favorite tootsies,
period(.)!

Scavenger Hunt~ {week 11}

~Scavenger Hunt Sunday~

1. Portrait
I had a difficult time picking my favorite portrait.
 Jax has been such a huge ham lately.
 Now I can ask him to say "cheese,"
& he will give me a big "cheesy smile."
Though I love those staged cheese ball smiles,
 there is nothing like the real thing.
Here is a pure (100% real) Happy Jax smile!

2. Nostalgic
This shot takes me back when the simplest of things,
 could make you the happiest little soul on earth.
When you have the heart of a child.

3. Time
(Hahaaa...)
 I thought the time of spilt Cheerios,
 on the kitchen floor, was long gone?
Silly mommy.
Guess not!

4. Full of Light
I shot this yesterday.
It would have been my GRANDpa Wally's 81st Birthday.
I like to think as I was thinking of him,
 he was shining down his love,
 on us.



5. Motion
This is usually the only shots I get of monkey at the park.
Me chasing him.

Flashback Friday~ caddy shack boy

Halloween 10'

    Before I went MIA, I was planning to share last years Halloween pics. They include one CUTE little old time golfer. I'm not sure if there will ever be another costume I love more than this one.

In tribute to my hero in heaven,
 Jax's GREATgrandpa.
He  loved golfing like no other.
I know he was smiling down on Jaxy this day.
