steppin' out {sunday} - baby wrangler.


the days of our super cute mom-&-son pictures are temporarily suspended.

to hold parker on my hip & tell him to look at the camera & smile is like trying to cuddle a rabid raccoon.  i swear the kid has perfected how to make himself go limp & become dead weight the second i pick him up.  i say "temporarily" suspended because you better believe this boy will be posing with his mama on his wedding day.

but for now?  he'd much rather be on the ground running around doing this:


see how happy he is now?  whatever.

we had an awesome weekend.  sam & i got out friday night & dressed up like big kids & went to a fancy pants party downtown seattle for his work.  ya know, the kind where you rsvp & pick your food selection in advance.  i had the prime rib, thanks for asking.  it was the first time we had a sitter stay at our house & put parker to bed while we stayed out past eight.  it went great & i think this is totally going to become a regular thing

oh my gosh, the possibilites!  we almost got giddy at the idea of going to movies, fancy restaurants, & mariner's games sans p-ray.  don't get me wrong, we love toting him around & missed him & thought about him constantly while we were out.  but ya know?  sometimes you just gotta feel like an adult.

plus, it makes the heart grow fonder.  i had to keep myself from texting the sitter every 30 minutes for updates & kept it to hourly.  you do that too, right?

then sunday we got all dressed up & went to church.  here's what p-ray & i wore:


{linking up with mandy... like i usually do.}

ok so yeah, that's actually the top that is actually a dress.  {confused?  check out "thursday" in my last post}.  i love it as a top, but it's pretty dang cute as a dress too, so i'm sure it'll be making an appearance soon.  i know, you can't wait right?  me either.

so i hope everyone had a great weekend & has an awesome week ahead of them.  we're looking forward to a couple playdates & some rain.  no seriously, i'm pretty sure our summer has come & gone.  remember that one post about summer?  yup, that was it.

oh well, bring on the hoodies & sweaters & boots & football.  heck yeah fall!

i'm also ready for a couple clicks?  cuz that'd be cool.

  3. Parker is truly one of the most adorable little boys everrr. I love his eyes! You look great, as always, and I'm totally jealous of your remixing skills - I'd never have thought to do a dress to shirt combo.

  10. Is Parker chuckin' things at you yet??? We are fighting a tough battle with Christian. He LOVES to throw things and many times we just happen to be in the way (I say that sarcastically) =/ You know how bad a hot wheel feels across the forehead? and he slaps =/ SERENITY NOW!! We've had to step up the disciplining lately...he knows exactly what he's doing now.

  13. Yup, gone are the days of Ellie standing nicely for the camera too, hence why I have so much trouble getting the focus right on my pictures these days! A friend of mine brought her "still immobile" baby over this weekend and I went on a picture hayday with him. It was SO easy to take great pictures because he just sat there and smiled!
    You looked great this weekend! Happy Monday!

  15. Oooh, your pencil skirt is making me miss my pre-pregnancy favorite. I refuse to buy a new one because I am still holding out on fitting into it again soon! Super cute top/dress!!

  16. I love your skirt! You look so good in those pictures!!

  17. Ah, I love the go-limp trick! Almost as much as the grab-a-handful-of-mom's-hair-and-pull-trick. That's what my boys do for pics or when I'm trying to get them in their carseats. Ug. Good thing we have such cuties!

  18. I love your style mama! Can't believe you slipped a dress under that pencil skirt and look so good! Cracking up about Parker, I totally know that dead weight thing! Oh and yeah, I text the babysitter every 30 mins.
