The Woods

i got to take family photos for one of my oldest friends.

it was so much fun.

the kids were a ball to photograph.

nauvoo is the big sister, 

she is such a great help.

(i tried to convince her to quit year one and be my assistant.)

cooper has the most beautifulest eyes you have ever seen.

jed is the quietest baby you have ever met.

i held him while i was taking pictures of nikita and matt

so he didn't crawl into the ocean and kept forgetting i was holding him.

they were the best first family photo shoot i could have ever asked for !

here's a couple of my favourites from our afternoon.

Open Classroom's

during this last week

jevan and i got to go to each of the two older boys classroom for education week.

they were so excited that their dad got to come for the first time ever.

braxton was up first.

he showed us how he can write his name,

he made a fruit face,

he drew us a picture and he made me a necklace with the assistance from dad.

he even took us for a race around the car track.

makai was second.

he was so excited when not only dad and i showed up but his uncle skye, aunty sarah, his cousin and grammy showed up.

(we took up half the classroom.)

we all got to help makai do an art activity.

we all pitched in with the cutting

and with the extra assistance he was the first one done.

after that he took us to the reading corner and showed us his impressive reading skills he has been working very very hard on.

these two little people i used to call my babies are growing into boys.

i hate and love it all at the same time.

i'm so excited for the adventures life has in store for them.

too see them grow and explore if my most favourite part of being their mum,

nothing will ever come close to the feeling i get when they achieve something.

their perfect little smiles can warm my heart in a matter of seconds.

a hug can turn any doubt i have away.

i will be forever grateful that they chose me to be their mum.
