Jocelyn and Whisper are buds. Seriously. I’m not just saying that because I’m a crazy pug lady. Stamp has Miles and we kind of wondered if Stamp just liked kids in general more than Whisper. (Whisper has been freaked out by kids ever since her experience with a well meaning, but harsh petting neighbor girl…

John’s “baby brother” came to visit us a couple weeks ago and we had SO much fun with him. We did all sorts of fun things like going to Takaoka to see our dinner being cooked in front of us, the studio to play with photos, Coney Island, Miles’ Saturday morning clay class, sky lanterns,…

I see a little bit of John Krasinski in his face also. 🙂
-
Oh my goodness, so many things to say about this post.
- How cute is the one with both of their arms crossed?? And how do you even pick one to frame, they are all so great! You can definitely tell Miles & Mark are related.
- Is that an Eddie Bauer high chair? It looks like ours! I love it, if it is.
- John looks adorable in his new glasses.
- Yay for pics with Jossy in the bear outfit!!! 🙂
-
First off, Mark’s hoodie? LOVE IT (seriously, where did he get it?)
Second, I love all of these!! I gotta tell, you there is a piece of Miles that so reminds me of me at that age. Like, forget the little kids, all I wanted to do is hang out with my older siblings’ friends b/c I IDOLIZED them and you can just see that in Miles’ eyes when he’s in that slideshow with Mark.
SO fun!
-
Those are great!,is that a canvas of Miles hand? That is soo cute! Can’t view the show on my phone,but aol check soon. Looks like kid brother is ready to settle down lol 🙂
-
always thought Miles got his looks from Grandpa Smith, but sure can see resemblance to Uncle Mark! both are cuties.
-
Nothing more attractive than a handsome man who loves kids (at least to me)! You are blessed and so are the kiddos – they obviously love him to pieces. 🙂
-
Super cute! You have got the most photogenic family!
-
Ok so WHERE did you get those cute little shoes for your little one? So adorable!
-
Those cute shoes were last year’s Timberland’s. I copied off some I saw like them in J Crew. : ) Just bought em off shoes.com or zappos.
Thanks for liking them!
-
Those shoes are just Timberland’s. I saw some like it at J Crew, but these were much cheaper. THanks!
-
[…] brother Mark (the resident Nick Lachey look-a-like) who who visited us this past winter, is great with the kids as well. I think Jocelyn looks a bit like Mark here, […]
Here’s a super quick sneak peek from Miles’ Cat in the Hat Birthday party today. I was flipping through photos and saw this one of the three of us and just had to share it. (Bummer that Jocelyn was napping.) What a great, laid back little party we had. All of Miles’ cousins are much…

SO fun! Miles looks like he’s in pig heaven 🙂 (and at 4, who wouldn’t be?)
That is SUCH a great shot of you guys!
PS – Bets, I can’t help but notice you have new AWESOME earrings in! 🙂

Looking at this again, man that’s a lot a teeth I’ve got there. 😉

That drawing is quite impressive!

What an ADORABLE photo of you three! (I never hand out comments unless they are sincere!) Betsy, you look AMAZING!
-
What a great game and drawing! Hope he had the best birthday so far!
-
That cat is totally legit!
-
Oh, I love the Pin the Hat on the Cat idea…that’s awesome!
-
You look so absolutely happy. I’m so glad. What a beautiful family.
-
You drew that Cat In The Hat? WOW Girl! Love it!
Miles’ actual birthday was supposed to be super low key with his big birthday party coming up this weekend with family and some of his favorite grown-ups. Then the big blizzard of 2011 (are we DONE talking about snow yet? UGH!) happened and his birthday transformed into the best little snowed in birthday ever. It…

Yay!! Happy Birthday Miles!! 🙂 I think I could entertain myself with that train treck for the better part of a day. Awesome present!!
-
This is AWESOME. Taking notes for future kids here…
And as for Miles and a winter birthday, I feel the same way. I remember one year, when I was about 10 (’92) we had this AWFUL ice storm and I was supposed to have this big slumber party and nobody could make it. 🙁
Clearly I’m not still bitter about it or anything – haha!
-
Awe! What a fun family you have! Two things…My oldest, Jack, had that same cars shirt and now Charlie wears it…love. And…we had a Brio train set for our boys(they LOVED it) See if you can have someone make a table to put the train set on(ours had a lip around it) and then we glued the set down and then it was portable….the top of the table was sunken in and it was removable. Sorry if this sounds complicated…it’s really not:) but, it was the BEST idea for our train set so the pieces were not ALL over our home and they were always set and ready to go:) Yours does look bigger so it might not be a good idea for you, but thought I would toss the idea out there:))) Happy Birthday to your sweet Miles:)
-
Thanks for the idea about the balloons! I think that sounds like a great way to start a birthday! Love those black frames with white mattes on your walls – where did you find them?
-
What a great way to spend a birthday!
-
What fun day -I LOVE snow days – and having your birthday on a snow day is just perfection. I am sure he enjoyed every minute of it. Ahhh Thomas saves the day for sure – he’ll be building and enjoying like you won’t believe. It’s sad when that season has passed – but we’ve moved onto LEGOS so there are similarities. Another Happy Birthday to Mr. Miles – Penny sends her love to- “that boy is little like me” and hope you are are warm and happy today.
-
What a GREAT way to spend a snow day. Miles is one blessed birthday boy. I love the photos you captured – they evoke so much joy. Your kids are going to treasure these photos when they are older! I love the one of Miles up in the air… he was stoked!
-
I love the photo of the aftermath of the train track! You guys will be rebuilding that track a 1,000 times! 🙂 So love seeing Miles celebrate his birthday!
-
Random question. What kind of waffle maker do you have? I remember you always talking about how great it is, and searched waffle on your blog, but didn’t come up with anything. 🙂 Thanks! PS, Miles & Joss are so awesome!
Four years ago a blizzard was brewing as I went into labor with Miles. Here we are again with a very similar snowstorm, but a very different little guy. As a matter of fact, a very different Betsy & John too! Here he is, our sweet little Ground Hog Day baby, holding up a sign…

-
Love that little “s”!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday, to you! Happy Birthday dear Miles, Happy Birthday to you!! He is one amazing little boy, Betsy! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your video clips of Miles in the months that I’ve been following your blog!
-
I hope that cutie has a great birthday! And that Mother Nature is gentle!

Oh man…is he wearing skinny jeans??? What a sweet little boy. Your stories of him remind me of my nephew that’s 5…super sweet and says things that just blow your mind! Love it..Happy 4th bday Miles!
-
Happy Birthday Mr. Miles! Can’t believe he is so big and wearing skinny jeans no less. Have you been shopping at H & M? 🙂 Too cute. Now he is ready to go to an art opening with me. I can’t wait to dress my little girl like an artist. I hope you guys have a wonderful day…..eat lots of cake. Hugs

Happy Happy (a lil’ late) birthday to MILES!!!!
gosh, her facial expressions look like miles.
i love your little family. pugs and all!
ok that does it..grandma needs to hug that kid!!!! see ya soon. AND the doggies too. by the way, they have no idea, they are dogs. seems like only yesterday, I would go sit with them and love on them. They would fit in my hand. our grand baby little girls.
Ahhh! Too cute for words! I love that last collage:)
This post is full of killer cuteness, for sure!! I can only imagine how much you’ll treasure these photos as time goes by & Miss Jossy B grows up!
That first photo is ADORABLE!
Pug back and shoulder rubs. No wonder they hang around her so much. A future masseuse in the making?
Oh Betsy, you KILL me with all that cuteness!!!! I’m a huge dog lover so I’m a sucker for these shots. Our 110 lb. rotty LOVES our 5 month old…I think it’s adorable! p.s. if you are done having children, sounds like the boppy might just stick around! ;o)
you know if you put Whisper and Stamp together they kind of make a pug boppy.
These pictures are adorable. A girls and her puppies, how can life get any better.
The expressions on Jocelyn’s face in the last sequence made me LOL. 🙂 So cute.
Seriously priceless!
That is the funniest thing!!! Extraordinarily cute! I admire your chillness about the dogs and the kids. Big animal family here but I couldn’t bare for them to ummmm…’touch’ my babies when they were little! Silly I know but all is ok now – I don’t feel any ‘ewwness’ at Jocelyn ‘touching’ the pugs!
LOL!! I was going all “awwwww” in the earlier shots and then the collage pics of the boppy hogs was just dang funny especially w/ Jocelyn’s facial expressions. She’s beautiful even when she’s annoyed! Thanks for always giving me a smile when I need it. Something about your blog that seems to do that for me. I guess that’s what it’s all about. I originally came here because I’m a photography nut and now I’ve stayed because of that and so much more!! God bless 🙂
I bet they think she is one of them! And when she gets bigger they will be like “What the?” It’s too cute how the 3 of them are all crammed on the boppy.
Betsy, I read ALOT of blogs. And i generally love your blog. But this post is the CUTEST POST E.V.E.R ! !!!! hahah I’m so in love with Jossie and her pugs . .and they’re not even mine. I think the collage is adorable and priceless. Heck she’s not crying, she’s just saying “dude, get your own blankie and boppy, seriously guys” And well, that’s just cute! Thanks for making me smile today 😀
ADORABLE!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just got to reading this blog post & OMG I’m laughing out loud. The last series of pictures crack me up!! 🙂
Thanks! Jocelyn loves her pugs!
