I just LOVE his silly faces, so awesome!

And Lucy is so sweet! She loved the flowers everywhere and REALLY enjoys saying “Hi.” It really is the simple things!

And then Faith… what an awesome big sister, she watches out for Owen and Lucy with love and care and is SO smart. This girl can paint with the best of them too, her first paintings at 6 are better than my best at “twenty-something-ish.” And she is just so beautiful, I love her curly hair!

Are they not so cute together??
[Here's a tip for shooting kids: get ridiculous! I put a sunflower in my pony tail and acted like I didn't know it was there and they thought it was hilarious.]

Hope you enJOYed round 2! Isn’t this warm weather amazing? It feels like summer and I love it!

Lindsay went for a great color theme don’t you think? It works so perfectly with the Orange trees and greenery! This is one of my new favorite places to shoot

Hope you had a great weekend!

The Simple Delights Blog had a 100 Calorie version that looked good that you can find here: 

Multiply Delicious had an egg muffins recipe that works well for busy mornings here:

So fast forward to last Friday, Zak was inspired to try it out and make it his own by frying some bacon till it was half way done, then using the bacon as the wrap for the egg in the muffin tin. He baked it with some goat cheese and salt and pepper, and then sauteed some bell peppers and onions in coconut oil to top it off. Um, it was AMAZING! Such good flavors together, and not to mention really pretty on a plate.

We started eating them before I thought about sharing this on here, but thankfully we had one left over! So before I devoured it, here was part of the process. Next time I’ll make sure to capture more so its easier to follow, but I’m sure you get the idea.

My new favorite morning drink that I found thanks to my cousins Chris and Carrie, is to fill your glass with 3/4 coconut water and then 1/4 OJ. I’ve been doing a lot of Hot Yoga lately and the coconut water is great for keeping hydrated… not to mention it has more potassium than a banana, five essential electrolytes, low cal, fat-free, low in carbohydrates, and shoooooot, it tastes so good after a hard workout. Zico is my favorite brand because I think it has the best flavor, but if you don’t like plain coconut water this is a great way to get the benefits while getting your OJ fix without all the sugar from a full glass.

Zak is an amazing husband and I’ve had the best first year of marriage with him. He is so thoughtful and giving, I mean he hadn’t slept in days and he still put taking care of me before himself. I heard and expected the first year to be hard, which yes it is hard figuring out schedule’s and such, but being married to this guy is pretty easy and I’m so thankful for him. He was worth waiting MANY YEARS for.

I’ll be sharing more of his “inspirations” in my new Recipe’s Category so keep on the lookout for those. Have a great Friday!

Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend!

More to come soon. Hope you had a great weekend too!

One of the things that they love to do together is read as a fam so we thought it would be fun to incorporate that into our shoot!

Sweet tractors brought out some smiles..
