wordless wednesday {family photos 2012}

my friend meg took these family photos for us a couple weeks ago, and i. am. in. love. with every single one of them!  as a photographer, i have an abundance of photos of my favorite little boy, but i don't have hardly any of myself or especially of all of us as a family.......

i am so grateful that we planned this session and were able to capture these memories of our growing family ;)  enjoy them!

linking up with:

tara's view of the world, bree:his honey and her mommy, live and love out loud,

project alicia, the paper mama, jenni from the blog,

sarah halstead & tots and me

matching bumps

remember how my sister-in-law and i are expecting babies really close together?

well, look at our matching bumps!

cute, huh?

i am now 33 weeks along and it is starting to feel like the home stretch....

well.....

kind of.  ;)

at least we are still finding humor in our bulging bellies, waddling posture, and insatiable appetites.  

or, at least, they are.  

pioneer football with daddy

yesterday we went to watch the grinnell college pioneers play football and hendrix sure thought that was fun! his daddy used to play for this team, and his grandma works in the athletic department, so he is real familiar with the field and press box, and thinks it is okay to just run all. over. the. place.

he was really interested in watching the game, for all of about 5 minutes.  then he really just wanted to be a wild man.

after many failed distraction attempts, mommy just walked to the park to play with him for a while.  it was much easier to manage him there!  lol

he really loved some uncle time ;)

when we tried to go back to see the end of the game, he turned into a monkey boy.

but it was a gorgeous afternoon, and we had a nice time, even if it was exhausting to keep up with him!  lol

i imagine there will be much more football yet this fall......

hendri-saurus rex

remember that birthday that we have coming up in our family?

well the theme has been picked, and i am busy in party planning mode....

this year i actually have a little helper though, and he was excited to try out scissors for the first time....

and really, his coloring masterpieces are getting quite good!  ;)

can't wait to see him in this adorable shirt i ordered off etsy!

all the goodies meet his approval, now to explain to him that these are treats to give to his friends..... ;)
