Second Christmas Santa shot

Tags: crying on santas lap

James took the kids tonight (by himself!) to take pictures on Santa’s lap at our neighborhood Christmas party. I knew it was coming…”the second Christmas Santa shot”. Rilyn and Ella both had it, (although Ella showed it dramatically more in the picture!) and I knew Asher was going to have it…

You have to admit Santa is a scary looking dude to a little child!

Asher 19 months

Here’s Ella’s second…

And Rilyn’s second…(we got all her crying on video, this shot was after daddy calmed her down a little by sitting with her)

It was a great weekend at my little sister, Jessica’s wedding! We all had important roles to play and her wedding turned out beautiful! We are very excited for our new brother in law, Eric King. Some highlights during the ceremony were Ella tripping as she was walking up the stage, me getting to wear 5 inch hot pink high heels, and Asher stopping in the middle of the aisle and had to be lured by daddy holding a lollipop (in which he devoured the whole thing including half of the stick and we couldn’t get the stick out of his hand for pictures because he would start crying!)

Before the wedding we all got manis/pedis!

We all had tank tops that read ‘bridesmaid’ or ‘flower girl’! Of course Jessica’s

said, “Mrs. King” with a crown on it!

Classic Ella face!

I love to take pictures. I got a new camera that I love. I have certain pictures that James and the girls know mommy NEEDS to take each year. They are, (besides the obvious holiday/birthday ones), pictures in the bluebonnets and pictures in fall foliage. Now the first is way easier than the second because of where we live. I resent that sometimes. Each year, I’m on a hunt, and what usually ends up happening is I get of picture of them in dead leaves (because at least their brown.) Today though, I got some pretty good shots of the kids in my parent’s backyard of all places(I’m not saying this is ‘Boston in the fall’ type leaves but they’re decent)! I think I found my new annual fall foliage spot (I hope!) Enjoy!

This is some of my past ‘fall foliage’ (i.e. dead leaves)

Not much to blog about these days…BUT today I got my $500 Home Depot gift card in the mail which was pretty exciting! I spent $45 to get this card that I applied for in mid-September. Now I just have to figure out what to spend it on!?! 😉 Again, if you are interested in how I get these, click here!

Oh, and I just finished my Christmas cards. I won’t mail them until the second week of December, but I’ll give you a preview…

You’re interested, right? 😉 I love getting Christmas cards by the way!! Please send yours to us! We keep them all year in a basket on our table and each night that we have family dinners, we pick one out and pray for that family. You want to be prayed for right?!? 😉

Oh, and at this time next week, I’ll be in Las Vegas at the Bellagio!!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I’ll be at the A&M v. t.u game (which will be Rilyn’s first Aggie game!) Pretty exciting-now if they will just pull off a victory for her first game! Gig’Em!

a brother and his Disney princesses

Look at this lion on the PROWL!!!!

Before trick or treating each year, we have a neighborhood party with all our friends and eat chili! The most notable thing about this photo is how Rilyn is holding newborn Ivey Peck (4 weeks), and Cole Richardson is lovingly looking on as if they are married and staring at their own child! Yikes! Oh, and I guess the Suh kids don’t like group shots! 😉

trick or treat!

Malachi Suh getting the best of Asher! I foresee a rematch in the near future…

I was hoping I could get the 3 kids to dress up as ‘a theme’ this year for Halloween, but with Asher’s costume a hand-me-down (can’t pass those up!), and the girls wanting to be the same Disney princess, the only theme I could come up with is ‘zodiac signs’?!? 🙂

18 months

My baby boy is 18 months today! He is no doubt NOT a baby boy anymore, but a crazy toddler who is teaching mommy a thing or two about raising boys! He is repeating almost everything now, and loves to play with his big sisters who will gladly push him around! I am starting to think seriously about getting a leash on him because it is getting increasingly harder to hold him or keep him contained in a grocery cart/high chair! He wants to run or walk down the stairs-both of which he is not proficient at yet! We love our busta’ and are continually amazed at the joy,(and sometimes frustration!) he brings us each day! 🙂

new hobby: tearing up the toilet paper rolls

he loves his sisters! (he calls both of them ‘Ella’)

Ella and I went on a field trip to Crowe’s Nest Farm with her preschool class. I predict I will be here many more times since it is the ‘go to’ field trip in the northeast Austin area, but today it was just my third time. Of course, it had to be 100 degrees with the humidity. My favorite part was taking nine preschoolers to the muggy restrooms twice in one hour. We were there for 3 hours and at least half of the time was spent corralling the kids. Whew! Ella had a good time though!
