A post about ice cream

Who doesn't love ice cream??? Honestly, I have no idea... I love ice cream, Ben loves ice cream. You know who really loves ice cream? Audrey. You know who really, REALLY loves ice cream? Hays. We found this out the other night (well, not really. Hays has quite the affinity for people food) when ventured out to our local DQ and Miss A brought home a delectable chocolate (or as Audrey calls it "chaaawwwcklate") cone. Here's what followed:

Audrey, obviously enjoying her ice cream

(in my best Hays voice) "uh, hi, yeah, can i have some of that???"

"uh, please?"

"you're gonna have to catch me first, dog!"

"well, ok, you can have a little lick..."

And you know Hays ate up that cone like it was going out of style

The look on Audrey's face is priceless

poor kid...

**All lost cones were promptly replaced**

Pattycake!

The law of 2s

Audrey is full-fledged toddler! Right now she is all about 2: she'll be 2 in 2 months and already in terrible 2s mode! Man, can this girl throw a fit when she doesn't get her way. It's a good thing she is as cute as can be and incredibly smart to boot. She can count to 13, knows almost all of her colors, practices her abc's and speaks in full sentences. I'm talking 5/6 word sentences! Just the other day she said to me "Hi mom, come sit right here" patting her hand on the couch. I am amazed at her verbal development! I've lost count of how many words she says because she is that good at telling me exactly what she wants :)

I have tons of pictures but need to upload them so I'll leave you with a few from last month:

***I know how long it's been, trying to get better :)

Long overdue…

Since my last post, I was contacted by hundreds of photography agencies who wanted me shooting for them all over the world…so that’s where I’ve been.  Me and my trusty Nikon have been globe-trotting and capturing some of the most rare photos you have ever seen!

In my best Seth Meyers/Amy Pohler voice…REALLY?!?!?

Nope, I’ve just been incredibly lazy when it comes to updating here.

So here is a long awaited, photo-heavy post…

So first off, we had a fabulous Derby Day party back in May complete with a Mint Julep bar, YUM!

 

Audrey spent her breakfast looking over the odds and preparing to make her Million Dollar bet…

Lots of kids came to the party including super cute Caitlin!

Mom Mom & Pop Pop Came too!

Big hats were included as well…

 

Spring finally decided to show up, Audrey loves the flowers!

Enjoying the bubble bath…

and learning to come her own hair!

Here’s Audrey’s favorite new pastime…Flying!

Pretty girl on a pretty spring day  

Showing of her cute smile :)

Hey, here’s a rare sight…a picture of Mom & Audrey!

Last but not least, here’s Audrey showing off here yogurt goatee…gross!

 

Promise the next update won’t take as long!!!

Mama got a new camera!

Check out these pictures courtesy of my new Nikon D3000! Happy Birthday to me :)

Hollywood...

hooray for Hollywood!
