daily Smith fashion

At the request of some of my biggest and most faithful fans and followers (aka... my Mom and sistas)... sad little blog... I have come to the conclusion we need to add daily Smith fashion posts to this "sad little blog."

Before I had children and even when Peyton and Lia were younger, I always sworeeeee my children would never be those messy, non-color coordinated children but rather carefully planned, adorable outfit wearing children. Apparently after six children those standards are longgggg gone. Who knew dressing children would require TIME!?! We're running low here... At this point in time when we leave the house, I'm just happy if 1) the diaper-wearing children are actually wearing diapers (bonus if it's a clean, dry diaper), 2) faces are sorta-kinda-almost clean and not snotted up, and 3) boobies and butts are covered. No exceptions. Oh, and sometimes footwear for all feet is nice...

Disclaimer: I (in no way, shape, or form) attest to know the slightest detail about fashion. All daily fashion seen on this website is solely chosen by these wonderful children. But I do put the smack down on princess dresses to the grocery store and Spiderman costumes to Church. Sorry... we have standards. ;)

The only role I played in the preparation of this first dose of daily Smith fashion was the combing of the hair. Miss Austyn even tied her shirt up all by herself. With a PINK hair band of course.

bebe!

Casey and I were fortunate to be a part of a celebration for Miss Jenna's new bebe a couple weeks ago and what a festive celebration it was. Everything was absolutely adorable and I had a blast trying to capture everything I was seeing. Great food, beautiful decorations (handmade by Jenna's super talented lady friends), and as always, amazing calligraphy!

I'm still not sure I got everything there was to see :)

teeny tiny jars of jam as party favors... still afraid to open cause it is SO adorable ;)

Is that not the most adorable baby bump ever!

Congratulations in advance to Jenna and Jon! I know the Smith's cannot wait to meet your new adorable baby!

S family!

Last weekend the S family joined us at our home as we rummaged around the property to get some good shots of the family. Little did I know... there are quite a few gems around here! I was quite pleased at the tiny creek down in the woods, and a huge thank you to my lady K for pointing out the old truck just sitting in the field waiting for us to sit on it! I know my own children will be very pleased to climb all over it for mommy to take more photos ;)

Thank you K and E (and B and M) for being such great troopers!

Lesson learned: Smith children create chaos when photographing other children... who am I kidding, Smith children create chaos at all times.

beach worthy

We're completely addicted to this song as of late. Completely. Huge ZBB fans (and Jimmy) :) Reminds me of lazy Sundays, afternoons on the beach... and I'll take either of those right now!
