Soooo My Family

I know I said I wasn't going to post anymore photos from our shoot with Jeff Hobson until after the holiday but I couldn't resist just putting up one more. This is Danny and Lyla to a tee! I love it. Makes me smile everytime I look at it. Jeff really has a gift for capturing those little moments.

The Zoo & Instagram

Today was another rare Saturday were we all had nothing going on and it was just the three of us together. Needless to say despite the rain we decided to brave the zoo which was also an opportunity for me to test out instagram on my new iphone(thank you Adam and Jordan). We only made it through half of the zoo before we were all detrenched but it didn't matter we still had a great time and finished our adventure at the carousels as always. For those of you that are instagramers you can follow us at "thesavvys" now too (just another way to see more Lyla I guess). I know I am a little late to the game I have been a droid user for the past year but I think I am going to be addicted.:)  

J.Hobson Photography

This morning I received my photos from our family shoot with Jeff Hobson of J.Hobson Photography. Some of you might have seen me post pictures of his in the past. He shot our engagement photos, wedding, photos of Lyla after she was born and all our family shots from there after. We've known each other a long time and I can tell you as someone that works with photographers on a regular basis he is the best and to no surprise I am really happy with what I received this morning. I do have a ton of photos to sort though and share but because of the holidays and my desire to keep our christmas cards and a few christmas gifts a surprise I am only going to share one for now but it is pretty darn cute and should hold you over until I release the rest.

A Day with Aunt Katie

Because it was Veterans Day yesterday Lyla didn't have school so she spent the day with her Aunt Katie. From the looks of it I'd say they had a blast. Here is a snap Katie took on their way to Wright Park. Love that Lyla gets to have these special days with her Godmother.

As everyone knows I love to shop and this year is going to be a big Santa year. Some things are practical and some things are just for fun. My favorite spots (which I mostly shop online) are J.Crew, Land of Nod, Pottery Barn Kids, Amazon and Gap. Here are just some of the things I've purchaded for Lyla so far. As I am sure you can imagine there is a quite a bit more tucked away in my closet. There just too much fun stuff out there.

My Fashionista

This is my fashionista! I have looked at enough fashion sites, blogs & magazines to know that my little one knows what she is doing. I love the looks she puts together. This was this morning. Sparkly silver shoes, floral leggings, a dalmation patterned top, ruffle wool coat, multi-color scarf and topped with a sparkly pink hat. Of course I am the one that buys the cloths but she puts the outfits together. Just adorable. I wish my pics were better so you could really appreciate it. :)

Trick or Treat

 

This year Lyla was Cinderella and I have to say although I know I am biase she was the prettiest Cinderella we saw. My mom (Grandma to Lyla) made the dress and I added the extra (the sparkle shoes, gloves, black necklace & matching headband). It really came together beautifully. This year was also the first year that we went door to door. We started out in Proctor (a yearly tradition) and then stopped by all the houses on the way home. It was fun to see the kiddos trick or treat (for real). We had a wonderful time. Can't wait until next year.
