These are my babies.  Callie is seven years old and Jackson is five.  These pictures were taken in October of last year around their birthdays (a little late on the blogging).  They literally gave me 5 minutes and this is what we got.  People assume that I have all of these amazing pictures of my children…I only wish!  My little angels would rather clean their rooms than “model” for me.  But every now and then I can bribe (yes, I bribe my children…bad, bad mommy) them to get a few pictures.  The first set of 3 pictures is SO them.  They love entertaining me – they have the face game down pat.  And the last picture is the official “I’m done” look!

I still can’t believe they are so grown up.  I feel so lucky to be their mommy.  I don’t know what I did to deserve them but I’m so thankful I have them.  They make me proud every single day!  Callie is such a joy.  She is smart, happy, creative, polite and responsible - a true love bug.  She loves school, piano, family/church/friends, her trampoline and Taylor Swift.

Jackson is my baby boy.  I’ve found myself carrying him around lately.  He is entirely too big for this and I’m certain that people think I’m crazy when they see us but I know I’m only going to be able to do this for a little while longer and I want to hold on to every thing I can to keep them “little”.  Jack  is such a little charmer.  He is bright, energetic, imaginative, considerate and funny – my little snuggle bug.  He loves sports, wii, family/church/friends, swimming and his “froggy”.

Because I love these little ones so much I am going to take a little time off and focus on those sweet little smiles.  Well, that and we have a date with Mickey and Minnie (thank you Tada and Poppy)!  I will return all e-mails and phone calls on February 16th.
