pixelated gems..and a giveaway.

while i was going through our most recent professional pics looking for good shots for the sidebar, i found so many that i had forgotten about and are amazing, hilarious or sweet and deserve some love too.

we took these back in october. it was about 90 degrees and we got annihilated by mosquitoes. thanks, georgia, love ya!

but thanks to brenna's sick talent, you would never know that we were sweaty, itchy, miserable and dealing with 2 screamy, sleepy, renegade munchkins, 90% of the time. she's good.

so glad we have this one. for a few weeks, she was doing this with her tongue ALL the time. but she never does it anymore.

um, are you kidding me? have no idea how we bribed him to do that.

i promise jesse is judahs dad, despite the opposite hair color, hair texture, and eye color.

they. love. him.

this one *almost* made the sidebar pic instead of the more composed one, just because it is SO us.

i think these are all actually grimaces


pause. forever.

judah is adorable. jesse is hot. it is known.

this looks like a movie poster to me!

so love this. even though the kids kind of look drugged/asleep.

oh, hello frame models. thanks for living in my house and being real people.

this child slays me

seriously? she is the best. prancing around doing some sort of touchdown dance and squealing all the while.

something about her face doesnt look like layle to me, but i know it is and the body language is SO her.

indignant and surprised.

lucky girl.



he's feeling great about himself and cant even stand it.


the chubby legs, the happy feet, the sprouty hair and the little prissy wave. she is everything.



and now, the giveaway.

a free custom key fob or burp cloth from my etsy shop to the best captioner of this, my favorite, photo of layla:


this wasnt even supposed to be a giveaway post when i started, but then i got to this pic, and so many ideas for funny captions came to me that i really wanted to hear all the hilarious possibilities that everyone else might have. so i am trying to bribe you for my own entertainment.

just leave a comment here with your best caption. feel free to leave a few if you want; it's quality, not quantity that makes a winner this time around.

we'll pick our favorite and announce the winner next week on monday or tuesday.

p.s. despite unbiased judging, i think i have picked my dad as the winner every time i have done one of these types of contests. he never takes/wants the prize, and i pick my next favorite, but dont let him have the satisfaction this time!
