miles creates his own (imaginary) solar powered cars

He was pretty patient. He let those cars get their fill of lamplight for quite awhile before it was time to return them to the floor for more zooming and racing around. (Some people were confused when I first posted this. These are just regular cars, and Miles was just pretending to power them up…

    That is so funny!

    We have a nephew who’s big into monster trucks. When one of his trucks “catches fire”, he asks for some tape to help put it out. If there’s no tape around, he simply presses his face up against it and uses his eyes to extinguish the flames.

    Kids are brilliant!

    What a smart eco-conscience kid!

    Ha! That’s hilarious! Love his imagination.

daddy’s home!

John had a business trip (to Flordia, no less) over the long weekend and I had a little taste of single mom-hood. To all the single mother’s out there, I bow to you. Seriously. I really am not that great at the single mom thing. I’m definitely more of a team player. My willful and…

    I can totally relate to this post. Single parents ROCK! and I agree with your first bullet point.

    Favorite part of the first photo – the older lady smiling! It made me smile too!

  • kimNovember 24, 2009 - 5:05 am

    I am the exact same way when my husband is gone… stay up WAY to late and eat VERY badly. 🙂

  • MeganNovember 25, 2009 - 8:57 am

    I adore the reaction of the lady passing by!! Too cute!

sarah’s senior photos

I could sense Sarah’s energetic and bubbly spirit when she first contacted me and that only grew in the days before her shoot as we prepped for her big session. We had a great time running around town, turning heads (her of course!) while I captured said energy and “bubbliness.” I absolutely love natural laughing…

the most pathetic & cutest thing you’ll hear today

It’s been the most grey yucky week since….well, last month. So my camera has captured nothing awesome lately. However, a little recording of Miles just popped up on my itunes and I HAD to share it with you. It was from about a month ago when Miles had the croup. (To state it simply, croup…

  • April Cochran-SmithNovember 18, 2009 - 11:39 pm

    Poor guy! Although, it is pretty cute, especially since he’s all better now. When he said “pepper” I actually laughed out loud. Oh & he definitely sounds like Benjamin Button, too 🙂

  • JenNovember 18, 2009 - 11:40 pm

    Awwwwwwwwww!!!! I know it’s wrong to laugh but his little voice is soooo precious, especially sick. He’s trying so hard! Yes, Bless his heart is right.

  • EmilieNovember 19, 2009 - 2:07 pm

  • Melissa DNovember 19, 2009 - 2:16 pm

    Poor little man!! I felt myself wanting to clear my throat multiple times. I’m glad he’s better!

  • JanicaNovember 19, 2009 - 3:31 pm

    Good grief. That cuteness/pathetic-ness is THROUGH THE ROOF! Bless his heart times infinity.

  • TinaNovember 19, 2009 - 6:22 pm

    OMG poor little guy! You’re right – sounds EXACTLY like the Benjamin Button voice! I’m glad he is better now:)

  • jodieNovember 20, 2009 - 12:32 am

    Oh Betsy! That is the cutest voice I’ve ever heard!!!

  • KristenNovember 20, 2009 - 1:01 am

    Seriously the cutest little guy ever!!! My little guy (2yo) has had croup twice so I know exactly how you guys feel. And Betsy you need to record books on tape. Perfect voice! 🙂

  • saraNovember 20, 2009 - 12:25 pm

    oh my! that poor little guy…he’s so precious. great seeing you today, have a great weekend!

snuggly sunday afternoon

John and I seriously do not sit down and relax much. (I’m going to work on that for 2010…) However, today, the couch was beckoning and it was me, John laying his head on my lap, the pugs and of course, Miles running around. Here’s my view (Don’t ask me why I had a camera… Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...

  • Wildflower StudioNovember 21, 2009 - 1:00 am

    First of all, this is so super adorable!!!! Second of all please share your secrets on how your house is so clean and organized! As a mom, wife and photographer/artist, my house sometimes, OK a lot lately, looks like my kids run the place… scary! Third of all, I admire you for having a cut off time to your work and saying this is it for the year. That really inspired me and made me think, hey, I want to do that too! I want to stop and enjoy the holidays! So I think I am going to find a last day too, and try and stay strong about it. Fourthly,I love your blog! So fun! Happy Friday! ~Shell

    Pugs are the best …I love your work
