E family photoshoot!

And little Miss Mila's 1 year shoot
Remember when I took her mommy's maternity pictures?
I can't believe she's turning 1!
And just a little backround- Matt is one of Steve's childhood friends.  They have been friends since elementary school! He was also a groomsman at our wedding, and they are just awesome friends to have.
Anywho, so I took some extended family pictures with the Aunt and Grandparents as well

Can you tell that they love this baby??
 Proud grandparents!
 So so cute, and love the colors
 And those cute teeth


 I love how teeny tiny she is in front of the door


 This one kills me- she was pretty perturbed! 



 Baby feet are my favorite :)

Digital Scrapbooking

One of my New Years resolutions was/is to teach myself to Digital Scrapbook.
I've been wanting to learn for a few years now
and I FINALLY took the time to watch some tutorials online, and I'm so happy I did!
I think this will help me get back into scrapbooking, since one of my problems is actually getting pictures printed. This way I can put them on my layout with out having them printed out before hand.
I've only done 4 layouts so far, and all of them I plan to add some paper and other embellishments after I get them printed out. 
Just thought I'd share :)

Happy Holidays from my home to yours

Happy Holidays from the Posts!

Here is a little update:

Kat spent the first few months of the year running as much as possibleto train for her first marathon, and ran an impressive 26.2 miles evenwith a knee injury at mile nine. After this huge accomplishment wegot a little scared because we realized she is even more stubborn than we thought, but we were all very proud of her amazing athletic feat.

Steve became a teacher and a student when he began classes at CalState San Marcos for his administration credential, look out for Principal Post in two years. In the few hours of the day notdedicated to school Steve trained in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and even competed in his first tournament, forging an impressive career recordof 1-1.

Jessica developed her artistic talents this year, drawing and paintingbeautiful works of art almost every day. She also grew athletically in gymnastics, hula dancing, and soccer, but has stayed true to herfirst passion for ballet and will return to ballet classes early next year.

Isabella has cemented herself as the family goofball, and she is a force nobody can ignore now that she talks nearly non-stop. She is an independent and confident girl, on Saint Patrick’s day Izzy let usknow she is not Irish…she is a toddler. She also knows how to have fun, shouting “Booya!” and “Party Time!” whenever the mood hits.

Best wishes for a peaceful holiday season,

Steve, Kat, Jessica, and Isabella

Thankful Turkey

Thought this would be a good place to share some of the preschool crafts I do. And now that I discovered pintrest, another place to store them all in spot!

I adore turkey project. They always crack me up! I do the pinecone turkey every year, and I've done a few renditions of Thankful Turkeys.
This one I came up with on a whim (actually it was a bit of a panic because I thought we didn't have the art project prepped. We did, I'm just a spaz)
Its great for all ages- even the one year old toddlers can just paint the bags, while the older kids can practice their writing skills!

What you need:
small brown bags (lunch sack style)
brown paint
googly eyes
red, orange, yellow, green construction paper.
newspaper
Rubberband
Glue
Stapler


Before hand:
Cut out leaves from the constuction paper, about two leaves out of a 8 1/2 x 12 sheet
Cut yellow triangles for beaks
and red "googles" for their gobble gobble. (I have looked up the correct name before, but its just as ridiculous as a gobble gobble so thats what I"m sticking to.....)

Set up the table for painting however you do it (we use a cheap shower curtain cut in half, and then old t-shirts for smocks)
I had the kids use sponges to paint all over the bag- brushes would work just find too
While waiting for the bags to dry, ask the children what they are thankful for.
Once the paint is dry, have the kids stuff the bags with newspaper
Then, close the bag however works best for you. We just twisted it shut and put on a rubber band
The older kids can write what they are thankful for on three leaves, then on the bottom 2 leaves write the child's name, "Thankful Turkey"
Fan the leaves out and staple them together, then glue them to the back of the turkey.
The kids can glue on a turkey face.
For younger kids, just do the assemblying for them.

This is Jessica's Thankful Turkey
And in case you need a little help reading what she wrote:
Family (with a backward capital E instead of F. Love it)
Izzy
Cousins

So sweet!
Happy Thanksgiving!
