Mya and Mea

My oh my, a lot has changed in the last year! We first saw Mya and Mea when they were 6 months old, then a year old and now they are 18 months old and busy as ever!!

Mea...


Mya...


These two are just soooooo adorable together! We were cracking up because there were times where life wasn't fair and they both NEEDED what the other had....but when we tried to go into another room with one and not the other, there was no separating them. We got about 3 feet down the hall before she was calling for "sissy, sissy". :) How sweet is that??

Did you notice how I didn't use names in the above story? Well, I thought it might get easier to tell them apart as they got older....YEAH RIGHT! In fact, I'm fairly certain it is getting even more difficult! My saving grace was that Mya decided to do a head first dive off the couch the night before and ended up with a little red mark on her nose. She was fine save for the mark which meant we could actually tell them apart...only if the side of her nose with the mark was showing! :)

I just cannot get over how identical they are....it is just wild! I love this image....no there's not a mirror involved. :) It is Mya behind Mea or Mea behind Mya. Why can't I tell? The nose is in the wrong direction. :)


Check out their accessories! These girls are ALWAYS on the cutting edge of fashion. Here they are sporting their skinny jeans and rockstar necklaces. Seriously too much to handle!


I love to compare images and show how much things have changed. This image was from the family snuggle a year ago when they were 6 months old...


And this is what a family snuggle, in the exact same location, looks like 12 months later!


Mya and Mea - You girls are awesome! We so much love to watch you two interact, in fact, I'm fairly certain we could watch you interact all day and never be bored! You two are quite the entertainers and we love that we are able to capture your life! We can't wait to see you again in August, we can't even imagine how much you will be talking by then!

Will, part 2...

What fun it was to see Will again! The last time we saw him he was just barely crawling, but not too interested in leaving us in the dust. Yeah, I said "the last time". This time Will showed us the ropes and was the director of the show! :)

He is one tough kid and loves to wrestle and play with footballs, basketballs, balls of any kind....and so we did! He attempted to wrestle the wall one time and I about lost it I was laughing so hard. The sudden and direct impact with said wall did not phase him in the least.

Would you believe that in between all that we captured this? Oh yeah, it's true!


We even found some time for some mommy and daddy lovin'...


But it didn't last for too long :)


And then we were off to the Science Center! Whoa! What a fun place! Will gave us the tour....he seriously knows his way all around that place!

This ball was borrowed from the air station. :)


I am obsessed with this next image! As much as I want to take credit for it, I've got to give it to Eric....this was his sweet capture. I LOVE the interaction captured between Will and his mom! Love, love, love!


Will - Oh my goodness...you have grown into such a little man and oh how we loved to see your independence. You are such a sweet little boy and we know that you are going to be an awesome big brother to your sister! But can we let you in on a little secret? We think she may not be ready for full contact wrestling for a few more years! Keep on keepin' on little man, you have a bright future!

Will....

More to come of Will....but I couldn't wait one more second to post this one of Will for his parents to see!

Trust me when I say, if you would have been with us, you would have never guessed that Will stayed in one place long enough to look this relaxed! He was a busy little man and I am completely smitten with this image!

More to come soon!

Louis....

Here are a few more of little baby Louis for you to enjoy!!

Louis is our cousin....ok, ok....I guess if you get technical, Louis is our second cousin...but a sweet, sweet cousin none the less!

No matter how he's related, we love him lots! As if the post below wasn't enough, here is a sweet little close-up. Love those squishy lips!

He had the cutest little sneezes and I couldn't resist the whole little body shake here!

9 days old and look at those eyes open and wondering all about the world around him!

While Louis and I were working hard....look what we caught Eric and Oscar doing...lounging!

Love, love, love this family image!! Oh my goodness....such cuteness in Oscar's smile and boy oh boy what do you think Louis is thinking?!?!?!

Louis - Oh my goodness what fun to capture you in your first days in this world!! You are just soooooo sweet!! You are a very lucky little man with a family who loves you like crazy! We loved watching your big brother as he watched you, such sweet moments!!

More to come....

but I couldn't resist posting this one before all the rest!!

Meet 9 day old Louis!

Bogue Boys...

Oh how we love these boys! Do you remember when we were first introduced to their cuteness? And then Weston grew up before our eyes...here!

Oh boy...and now he's on the RUN and happy about every second of it!

Before too long, it was Weston's nap time and time for a session with his brothers!

Love the background? Well, you can't have one unless you are ready for some serious shopping and hand crafting. :) Yeah, what you are looking at in addition to those irresistable faces is a headboard handmade by their daddy with antique yardsticks! It is pure awesomeness!

The boys humored us by agreeing to a "secret session", where we all whispered and didn't let mommy and daddy know what we were doing. :) I'm sure that mommy and daddy's absence had nothing to do with me telling the boys, "Should we surprise mommy and daddy with some pictures BECAUSE I BET THEY ARE WALKING VERY SLOWLY AND WON'T GET TO THE KITCHEN BEFORE WE ARE DONE" :) Nope, I bet they were not clued in to hang in the back of the house by the change in volume in my voice. :)

Surprise mommy and daddy....look what we did while you took so long to find us in the kitchen!

I'll leave you with one last image of the 20 minute napper....yeah, that nap I talked about? It didn't work so well!

Boys - Those great big hugs you gave us before we left will hold us over until we see you next time...you are too sweet! Thank you for showing us your awesomely huge puzzles and for showing us your awesome new bunk beds! We loved seeing you again and thank you for welcoming us with open arms, you guys are awesome!!
