dewey & josh {a sweet friend of ours from high school} volunteered to be my models.

i will be posting some more on {my facebook page}. check them out!

and my favorite:

sweet little romper.
i actually love all of the things for sale on that site
not to mention the backgrounds in the photos.

and last, but not least...

they are amazing. i am in love with them.
if only i was a size 9.
sigh.

swings&smiles.

yesterday i got to watch the boys for a little while
and it was in the 50's outside!
so, naturally, we went out and played!

me & linco-j {not quite ready for a picture}

levi & i watched...

... as malacai & lincoln ran & played around us.

{i didn't realize how many pictures i took of little weebs until i just started this post.}
oops! he's just too sweet!!

brother love. & mal pushing levi on the swing {do you see him?}.

a little happy boy swinging.

but it wasn't all playing... we also started picking up branches
that are all over our yard from the many storms this winter.
lincoln was picking up the biggest branches and was soo proud of himself.


here is my day-after-st.-patty's-day outfit:

i'm excited for a midnight photoshoot tonight.
if everything works out as planned, i should have some fun pictures to post tomorrow.

daily dose: back in the fields

finally it has been warm enough to go outside without loads of layers on.
two days ago i got to romp around in a field with my cousin
{who kindly snapped a few photos for me}
i cannot express how excited i am for sun & warmth to finally come back!

here's a taste of my happiness:

the limited floral dress: thrifted
two vintage sterling bracelets: were my momma's

i have lots of work i should be doing today.
but first i need to go slip on a dress and enjoy the 54 degree weather outside!

happy st. patrick's day!

i worked at the pizza shop all day today.
i was bummed that i couldn't wear the cute dress i had planned on wearing
{because it would have had pizza sauce and grease all over it}
plus it was probably the nicest day we've had since october... and i was inside all day!
sigh.
but tomorrow it's supposed to be 49 degrees with sun.
i can't wait!
