Bryson is playing t-ball this year and it's be so fun to watch him practice. He spends quite a bit of time rolling around on the ground after missing a ball and I'm guaranteed at least one good laugh at each practice. Our last practice was yesterday and games start next week. He actually cooperated for some photos yesterday which is so rare that I can't remember the last time it happened. I am beyond happy with these, so I thought I would share! … [Read more...]
Bryson, Bella, and I are working on some fun Easter crafts to feature next week. After Bella helped me make these Easter bunny ears, I asked her (more like begged) for a picture of her wearing them. She grabbed the opportunity to show me just a few of her many faces. This girl is so expressive and her face never fails to tell the story. … [Read more...]
Bryson plays with his wooden Thomas train set daily. We celebrated another national championship! I got the camera I've been drooling over for months, the Canon 60D. … [Read more...]
This is the first year we've carved pumpkins. And by we, I mean my husband. He carved while each kid sat by his side watching. I've never carved a pumpkin myself, but I loved watching them watch their daddy while I cooked supper one night. They were so intrigued. Bella was a little too intrigued by the knife and kept trying to swipe it. Bryson asked for a "Buckaroo" Pumpkin, so Justin drew out a cowboy then carved it. I thought he did a great job. He carved a peace sign for Bella. We'll continue our tradition of painting pumpkins each year and now we'll add in a few carved ones too. I found these cool pumpkin lights at Kmart. One changes colors and the other has a spooky flicker- very neat! Happy Halloween! … [Read more...]
Our homeschool days don't always include pencils or coloring pages. Some days, we simply soak in the beautiful day. We check the mail together and inspect the trees. We play with the dog and get a good close look at a Praying Mantis. My kids play together and that is one of the most beautiful things in the world to me- just watching them interact with one another. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to stay home with my children and to be their mommy. There's something about a cool, colorful fall day that makes it that much sweeter. … [Read more...]
While looking through my photos for post inspiration, I came across this series of shots from July. They were taken with my phone so they aren't the best quality, but the story the tell is a good one. It all starts with a little boy who wants to be is a cowboy. When asked a question, he'll answer "No, cowboys don't like that!" or "Yes, cowboys like that all the time!" His attire wasn't very cowboy-ish, but Daddy fixed him right up! Daddy was hit and fell on the couch. (Very convenient, Dad.) Then, I found Cowboy Bryson had been hit in the hallway. Cowgirl Bella couldn't miss out on the action, so Daddy dressed her up too. Bella checked on Bryson and then they were ready to go again. They took the gun fight outside and Cowboy Bryson carefully thought out his plan. And off they went again.. I was informed that Cowboys don't like pictures. (Duh, Mom.) I snapped away anyways. Cowboys may not like pictures, but Mama sure loves them and the memories … [Read more...]
If you follow me on Instagram (I'm whitneybaugh) you've probably noticed that I share many photos of Bella with the hashtag #facesofbella. This girl has the best facial expressions ever and she has so many of them. I could sit and spend an entire day just watching her face change and mold with the situations and her attitude. Here are two faces I caught Sunday night. … [Read more...]
It's been a week and half since I broke my fibula and crushed my ankle. 11 entire days. I've sat around knowing I'm not recovering, not getting any better. Waiting. Just waiting. Tomorrow is THE day. I finally get to hit the road to recovery. Finally. Surgery day! I've never had any kind of surgery or broken bones until now, so I am beyond nervous. I'm scared of the entire process, but mostly, I'm scared of leaving my babies. Bella has never been away from me for more than a few hours and now we are going to be forced apart for a few days. I have faith and I trust in God that everything will go fine. I know it's going to be a long recovery, but I'm ready to start the process. I have a giveaway scheduled for tomorrow, but you probably won't hear from me again until next week. I hope y'all have a fabulous week and weekend! … [Read more...]
