52/52 - A Portrait a Week

Baby Jordie's first Christmas...and he is more happy about the bow than anything else!

James loving a quiet afternoon at home playing his very loud new Silly 6 Pins bowling game.

And two of my many attempts to get a picture of them in their matching Christmas jammies.

** I can't believe that the year is over! On to the next 52 week project...who's gonna stick with me for next year too?!

51/52 - A Portrait a Week

Wow, second to last week of the year! Wish I could say I was doing this on time but I'm totally not. It's actually December 29 and I'm rushing to get week 52 done as well.

Oh well, it's been crazy around here so I'm not too worried about it.

Here are this week's favorite photos.

James at his preschool Christmas concert/party with Santa

A little snack time selfie for me and my big guy

My two fave pics of Jordan this week both just happen to also have me in them.

And it doesn't get much cuter than this!

50/52 - A Portrait a Week

We're gonna start out with a photo of my two boys together in their adorable Canucks jerseys! 

Jordy with our sweet, loving old kitty on his last night with us.

Our big happy guy putting the finishing touches on the Christmas tree with the addition of the angel on the top.

I can't believe there is only 2 more weeks left in this 52 week project. So many amazing photos I've got of my boys and memories recorded.

I'm just gonna go for it and put this one up early because I have a few favorite photos from this week already...even though it is only Wednesday!

A rare natural smile out of my handsome big boy James. 

My Santa baby before my parents annual tree decorating dinner.

Attempting one together. The first one is a better photo of James but the second is better of Jordan.

P.S. James is OBSESSED with his new hockey hoodie. He wears it almost every day and almost everywhere we go!

Here is one of those smiles I talk about that are hard to come by around here!

Another week = Another cheesy smile from James! :o)

My two handsome boys together!

And a rare picture of all 3 of us!

47/52 - A Portrait a Week

Starting to get caught up and have to look back a few weeks now to find my favorites from then!

My VERY serious faced baby making his usual face. His smiles aren't easy to come by but when they do come they are wonderful. Here he is getting used to being on his tummy, won't be long now before he's crawling! 

 James absolutely loved his swimming lessons! Here is in that week in the middle of his class just grinning away at me :)

And one of them together of course!

46/52 - A Portrait a Week

On Saturday morning we were in a hurry but I took the few extra moments we had to let James do something fun...jump in my MONSTER pile of clean laundry. He had an absolute blast and seeing this look on his face, made it all totally worth it!

Now moving onto my little superstar Jordan! Look at the face on that kid! He is too cute in these photos.

And a new favourite photo of them together!

45/52 - A Portrait a Week

Starting with a cute little random picture of Jordan from last night. He has been so sick and his little eyes have been bright red and glassy looking so this picture is actually pretty good considering how sick he has been!

A natural smiling James for once! I love this kid so much and his smile just knocks me out!

Some cute Mom/Dad group photos

And some cute big/little brother photos

44/52 - A Portrait a Week

I am a whole week behind! First time all year that's happened but I have a good excuse. Daddy has been home, baby is sick and just found out the cat is dying. Been a long and rough week to say the least.
Here's my favorite photos from that week!

Starting with a rare photo of me on the blog! Outside of James's preschool I got my friend Alysha to take a photo of me with the boys on Halloween. I love it so much, but just wish Daddy had been with us!

James when we went swimming in Chilliwack with his aunt and cousins.

My happy droolly baby Jordy!

Love this photo of my dark eye-browed baby!

My serious looking James.

Some cute together photos. A friend mentioned on FB that this picture looks like Jordy is telling James to stop talking. I don't think it will be long before that is exactly what is happening!!
