Fall Photoshoot

Since I'm always on the other side of the camera taking pictures, I asked around to see if any of my friends would take some photos of my kiddos and myself... Low and behold, my Pirate Momma friend Remy's sister-in-law Sarah (did you get that?) is an up-and-coming excellent photographer for Sarah Gibson Photography. We went to an old bridge not too far from my house -- it must have been a great day for photos because the place was literally swarming with photographers shouting directions at families and high school seniors.

Anyway, here are the photos that Sarah took. I'm in love with them! If you're in the Denton area and want some great pictures for a very reasonable price, GO BOOK HER NOW.

The place is Old Alton Bridge. Here's some interesting history on the bridge.

But it's a Holiday!

Things have been very lazy around here the past few days, as my husband has been home and our routine is out the door. See, momma has a nice little way of doing things to keep both kids on track, but it all gets thrown off when daddy is home because he wants to do things like keep them awake and play with them. Gosh - the nerve.

Fair warning: This post will be full of pictures of adorable babies and family adventures. As in, LONG.

Last week we took a short trip to my hometown to have early Thanksgiving with my family. We stay with my mom at her place and visit my dad 40 minutes away.. It's always been like that, although is house is waaaaaay bigger and there's more space. Let's just say there's one reason we don't stay there while the kids are little... and it looks like this:

Beautiful, isn't it? My dad is one hell of a handyman. The stairs, though, are 8 feet wide at the bottom, which no baby gate in the world will fit. And this mom just can't handle the thought of either child bouncing down that flight of stairs. Waaahh! Interesting fact: my ex-fiance helped my dad work on this house. It's an old Victorian church built in 1900 that my dad bought, gutted, and turned into a gorgeous work of art.

The kids were so excited to see my mom (Nana) that when we arrived at 12:30 am, they were up until almost 6 with happy little energy bugs running through their veins. I passed out while Kevin took care of them, and took a 5-hour nap the next day, poor dad.

Nana was so happy with all her babies there.

On the way back to Texas we decided to make a stop over at the Blue Whale on Route 66 near Tulsa in Catoosa, Oklahoma. Just a few minutes off the highway, it was a cute roadside attraction. Stella was scared to walk on the dock of the whale and Cole loved the picnic tables shaped like fish. A few pics of our adventures:

 And that's it for now! :) Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving with their families.

Obsession: Boots

When my daughter was born, my husband told her, "I hope you don't have your mommy's obsession with boots." But guess what? She loves her first pair.

Here are some photos of my boot collection:

slouch, wedge, and riding boots

can you tell Stella dusted these with baby powder? on suede... yeah.

newest pair of riding boots by Nicole/DSW

heeled Mandolinos and vintage cowboy boots, dusted by Stella

slouch boots from Delia*s

this is what my closet looks like.. on the right are my vintage dresses hanging lowww. )

These are my boots......

• Dark brown flat suede slouch boots by Hot Kiss with a buckle came from a comfortable shoe shopping trip after having kids. Most of my shoes prior to motherhood were heels, heels, and more heels, so a shoe wardrobe change was necessary.
• Light beige suede tall slouch boots by Delia's were actually pre-marriage. They're hard to get my foot into and incredibly flat and not that comfortable, but I love them so much I can't bare to get rid of them.
• Heeled dark brown beautiful Mandolinos that I can't wear anymore since having kids. The 3-1/2 inch heels kill me. Shame, because they fit perfectly over my calves and look fantastic with everything.
• Black slouch boots, flat with a buckle by Soda were a gift from my stepmom after she cleaned out her guest bedroom to find a bunch of Christmas gifts that had been forgotten. I wore them once last winter.
• Vintage cognac cowboy boots are my absolute most cherished shoe, although I can't wear them anymore. The Zodiacs have too high of a heel and are just not comfortable to walk in.
• Black zip-up tall, flat motorcycle boots by Mossimo were another awesome buy from Target. I wear them practically every day with everything.... even through the summer with jeans. (People told me I was crazy, aka stupid.)
• Black leather/suede riding boots were a score from Payless. The brand is Dexter and they have padded, flexible insoles, which I already have to buy, so it's nice they're built in. Now if only I could wear the leather in so they aren't so stiff...
• Black suede wedge boots from Payless are so cute, and they're really comfortable, but require high socks or they rub on my upper calves and itch all day. They're kind of my 'fancy' boots that I bought for working in an office... so much for that. At least my feet are done growing! :)
• Brown moto booties with a buckle were an impromptu gift from my hubby during a trip through Forever 21 on a very rare mall shopping trip. I love them because they give an edge to skinny jeans.
• And don't forget my newest pair by Nicole... riding boots, slight heels, with a vintage look. They're a little stiff but I imagine will be awesome once they're worn in.
