Oh my goodness! Could he be any more perfect?! You did a great job, Ambyr!

That first picture is like the best baby picture I have ever seen.
March 7, 2010 - 2:47 pm
Oh my gosh, those are precious, that first one is just to die for!

Ambyr, those turned out fantastic!! It’s making me baby hungry even though I have a 10 1/2 month old.
I agree, the first picture with that smile… ooh so cute. How lucky of you to see him every three months.
as I walked upstairs this morning after breakfast….I was ready to tackle the game room. I had been putting it off for days and I just knew that today would HAVE to be the day to clean it. It’s so easy for me to just walk right by the huge mess, or never go upstairs! as I walked in the room, I couldn’t even see the carpet. toys were everywhere. dylan had batteries in his mouth and avery was using my ipod as a phone. 5 minutes later, dylan had turned the rug over and started ripping the tag off the back into a million little pieces, and avery was playing with toothpaste.
it.never.ends.
I’m not sure why I clean up this mess every now and then….we ALL know that the second you turn around your kids are at it again….destroying. so why bother? I’m still trying to figure it out.
well, after I thought about yelling at my kids for the mess they had made and how nobody EVER picks up their toys….I thought of this… If you can’t beat them, join them. and so I did…with camera in hand:)

Beautiful idea. Avery’s too-too is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen by the way.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!I think that this is my favorite post you have ever done. Loved the rawness. I mean this is life for you right now. Embrace the mess. 
This was a great insight into your life with 3 little kids. Well done. (4th picture on 1st row Luke or Avery? j/k Love the tutu.) Thanks for sharing,Ambyr.

Aren’t you such a good mommy! Thanks for teaching me patience and to live in the moment. I needed that. Let’s get together soon k? Miss ya!
February 27, 2010 - 10:58 am
haha!!! sarah!! very good question….we might assume it would be luke, but I guess he wasn’t feelin it today!!!
February 27, 2010 - 11:36 pm
Too adorable! I absolutely love the tutu
March 7, 2010 - 7:50 pm
so glad you joined them. they would have messed it all up while you were trying to clean anyway. i have given up hope until they go to bed.
It’s so darn hard to take pictures of this one. She’s got PCS (photographer child syndrome) BAD! I keep trying in hopes that she’ll laugh at my funny noises or goofy movements…or even the word “candy.”
so far…nothing. I’ll see what I can do in the next couple days. as for now, here’s a confused look…
please excuse the mess around here!!! I’m getting ready to “brand” myself again!!!

I was wondering why it was taking you so long to rebrand…this one lasted a solid 6 months…=)
a lot has happened this past week!!!! first off- as anyone in the world knows by now…..the dallas-fort worth texas area got a record breaking LOTS of SNOW!!! It was sooo much fun to see and play in, but not at all fun to drive in!!
this is our snow-woman, named fristy. frosty+christy=fristy. don’t ask, my husband made it up…..but she received a valentines flower, and was so happy……she is still in our backyard!!!! her eyes and arms and mouth have fallen off, but she still stands!!!
luke and dylan loved playing in the snow. it was so unreal the amount of snow we had. we had a very busy weekend, so we couldn’t play in the snow as much as we wanted….but atleast I got some pictures!!!
dylan mostly loved just eating the snow…..off of anything….for instance….these bushes…..
secondly. my youngest brother chad got home from his mission in chile on friday morning…at 6 am!!! yes, we woke the kids up and off we went to welcome home the yard dog (nickname). it was so much fun to see him!!! luke totally remembered him and dylan-a little bit! avery was born 2 months after chad left so he met avery for the first time!! It was great having some very close friends of ours welcome him home!
lastly, my sweet grandmother (hollywood was her nickname) passed away last tuesday. I can’t tell you how much I love that woman. she was everything to me and to everyone around her. this picture was taken in decmber of 2009 just a couple months ago at my brother’s wedding. she was such a wonderful person inside and out. she was very outgoing, just like my mom! her laugh was contagious and she just lit up a room. she will forever be missed. love you meme.
all 4 of my brother’s got to be the paul bearers, along with my cousin eric. It was neat to see them together.
this is the youngest granddaughter out of 13. she and hollywood were so close.
the sweetest guy on earth, grandpa larry, her husband…saying good-bye.

Are you trying to make me start crying all over again?! Those pictures at Meme’s funeral are beautiful. She was the best grandma and a wonderful example to all.
February 16, 2010 - 11:02 am
so glad to have been part of the funderal–so missed being there for Chad’s homecoming. it was just too much to do all in one weekend. love your pictures, thanks for posting!
February 16, 2010 - 11:28 am
What a great update. I love the picture of Chad with your parents, it turned out so great! We loved seeing you guys this weekend. As soon as we got in the car Aaron said, “when can we go and hang out with Ambyr and Mark? Lets drive out there.” So we are coming to visit you guys. You can, of course, take pictures of Carson whenever you would like. He hasn’t shown any interest in crawling so I don’t think its on the near horizon. Love you!
February 17, 2010 - 3:27 pm
Hey, I left you a message this morning but then I thought I would check your blog to see if you posted anything and you did!
I’m so sorry to hear about your Grandma. That sure was fast huh?
Let me know if I can do anything for you.
The pictures turned out fabulous.
February 21, 2010 - 7:55 pm
I’m so sorry to hear about your grandmother. My prayers are with your family.
Wasn’t the snow beautiful?! I love that your snowgirl was named Fristy. I for some reason find that hilarious! Asparagus as arms…greatness
