Will is four

I have a four year old! It's hard to believe my boy is already a little boy. For Will's birthday, we let him eat doughnuts for breakfast, watch Curious George, choose macaroni and cheese for dinner and pick a toy from the store (Of course, he chose a watering can. It always makes me laugh seeing what he picks). This age has been so fun and rewarding as a parent. He says and does the funniest things like asking why Lucas is wearing "overveins" aka "overalls." It makes me happy to see him grow and learn, but I secretly wish he could stay this age forever.

Here are a few things about Will.

1. He looooooves people! He is super social and actually quite comfortable around adults and will carry on conversations with pretty much anyone he meets. (he obviously did not get this from me:)

2. He has learned almost all of the states and capitals and if you quiz him, he will remind you the capital of Georgia is Atlanta and not Augusta. He also begs to do worksheets everyday. I hope his love for learning never wears off.

3. He has a great memory and has memorized a few books and songs including his favorites: "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" as well as the blink 182 song "I Miss You" (thanks to Brandon for that one).

4. He is a sensitive boy and likes to encourage others. You will often find him patting others on the back telling them they did a good job.

5. He loves when people come over to our house and when they leave he always runs to the door and yells out, "Have a Good Day!"

He definitely has his moments of being a kid and throwing tantrums as all kids do, but overall I feel so lucky to be his mama and to see the boy he is growing up to be.

How often do you take pictures of your kids?

Having a phone with a camera is especially handy once you have kids because you can capture moments daily. A couple of weeks ago I went out to SLC for the Alt Summit Design Conference. While we were there, my sister, who is also a photographer, snapped some 6 month photos of Lucas. He won't quite sit up yet which proved to be somewhat of a challenge.

During the first year I like to take pictures at 6 months because they have changed so much since birth and you can start seeing their personality. 6 months is by far my favorite age and what I like to call the golden age for babies. They are happy, smiley, on a routine and still can't crawl anywhere yet. It's the best!!

How often do you take pictures of your kids?

This one pretty much kills me...
More pictures after the jump...

Moving

I have some big news to share...we are moving to Minneapolis (of course right in time for winter, funny because we moved to Phoenix in the summer). If you don't already know, we move quite a bit (for my husband's job) and this will be our 6th state in 6 years. Moves are always bittersweet for me. I'm always sad to leave wonderful friends, but at the same time excited for a new adventure.
Lucky for me we get help with the move but there is still a lot of work to be done, so next month might be a bit crazy.

Also, if any of you have great tips on places I must see and do while in Minneapolis, do share.

Have a great weekend.

Family Photos Part 1

My friend and photographer Nicole took some photos of our family last week and I love how they turned out. I have many more to share, but for now will leave you with this.
He gets those blue eyes from dad, not mom.
