Donovan does Disneyland!

So we decided to take Donovan to Disneyland before our passes expired in September. He did great while we were there and seemed to enjoy all the fun things to look at.

This is when we first arrived. We went to California Adventure to ride the new Toy Story ride but after we found out there was a two hour wait to get on we decided to do something else.


We went to the Blue Bayou restaurant for lunch. It was a lot of fun and we all got to pretend to be pirates.



Donovan did the best pirate impersonation.


When it got too hot we went to the Enchanted Tikki Room to cool off. This proved to be Donovan's favorite part of the day! He really liked watching the singing birds and the enchanted fountain.


It ended up being a lot of fun and by the end of the day Donovan had a great nap!

Put Me on the Filing Cabinet

A few weeks ago my friend Kathleen, who teaches first grade, asked me if I could paint a picture on a filing cabinet for her classroom. I thought it was a great idea! After going and picking out what colors she wanted to use to paint it she got the idea to have me paint a character from Put Me in The Zoo (a children's book by Robert Lopshire). I love that book and the style the characters are drawn in. All and all it was really fun for me to do and I enjoyed myself.It ended up looking really cute in her classroom and I hope her students like looking at it. If anyone else wants a filing cabinet painted let me know! :)

This is the books I based the painting off of.


Here is the end result.


Here it is in the classroom.

Our Latest Family Photo

This was taken by Amber (of course) at her son's first birthday party. I know it seems like Amber is our personal photographer who just follows us around all the time snapping our photos and well that's just about true! Donovan was almost four months old in this photo.

King Donovan

Here's a photo shoot I did with Amber when I wanted a picture of Donovan for a birthday card. I got this crown for the photos and we had fun adding some balloons too. I really like how they turned out!

My favorite one...

Designin'

So lately I've been really enjoying using my adobe creative suite to design things. When I need a break from workind on identity packages I like to design fun things.I designed these cards/baby announcements reccently. When I have another baby I'm definitley designing the announcement. I'm currently starting my at home design business, LimeLight Graphics.

Our Cute Guy

I love this picture of Donovan! He was about 2 1/2 months in this photo. Amber took it during one of the days we decided to torture our boys by doing a photo shoot


I like this one a lot too!

So much change

Donovan has grown so much! Just in the last few weeks we've been watching him change so much! He's 15 pounds now too which is hard to believe considering just three months ago he was 7 pounds 5 ounces. He brings so much joy and happiness into our lives. He's constantly making funny faces or sounds that make us chuckle. Every morning it us such a joy to see his little face. I can no longer imagine a life without Donovan.

Lately we've taken some super funny Donovan pictures. The best is actually one where I managed to capture Donovan spitting up on my Mom! Classic! He's such a little clown. And of course very fun to photograph.



Here's Donovan practicing his poker face!


Here's our little man looking like a boxer! K.O.!


This one has a cute bum shot!


A real smile! Sterling had just gotten back from boogie boarding for a couple hours and then Donovan looked right at him and smiled!
