i'm going to take ballet lessons.  and i'm going to have a baby with brown skin.
AND i am going to have a unicorn bike.
AND i am going to have a really big BIG diamond.
 and i am going to drive a camper….NOT a blue van.
i am going to live in SHApan. (japan)
we will eat waffles.
AND my house will be made of chocolate…and we can eat the walls.
 (words shouted to me in my lawn chair while she jumped on the trampoline.)
he was one week old.   he had perfect skin.
he was wide awake and calm as could be.
i loved his sweet red hair.
 that wrinkle in his foot? that is just pure yumminess!
 we saw those eyes a lot!
  he's a keeper.
thank you for letting me get my baby fix jeremy and libby.
although…i think it made my baby fever worse.
These pics brought me to tears…so precious. You are truly gifted. How precious!! You take such amazing pictures. So cute! Gotta love the name (MY Brody is 5 months old…AND has red hair!) – Ahhh babies! Stop taking such cute baby photos…It makes me want more kids. But seriously, great job on the photos. That last picture is stunning! Enough! I already have six children and I’m trying really, really hard to be satisfied with that. I’m barely out of my maternity bra! I swear I could smell newborn baby smell while I was looking at those photos. You really need to put a warning at the top of these posts:) Meredith xo. Great pics…as usual. My Lord. I need another baby. Such a little punkin…..great pics! The one looking down on him from his head is really impactful. oh, those feet! beautiful baby and beautiful pictures! Mine are 15 and 16~and I still miss the baby days! I could remind you what 9 months pregnant feels like and that might help the baby fever a bit…unless you are ONE OF THOSE women who adore pregnancy. Then we can’t relate 🙂 He is so precious! and great photos. Love them!! I need to get pregnant! i want to eat the toes. baby fever=that makes 2 of us! So cute! Only time having rolls is cute…not so cute at 40 something!! Have a great week! What a precious. precious little boy! Love those little baby wrinkles. Seems like a million years ago when my little boy was so little. Sigh. what a doll! i love that he has his paci in some of the shots! too precious! now if you could only add that wonderful “baby” smell to your blog!!! Oh what a doll!!! susie in texas oh my! I want another…. JUST PRECIOUS, Meg – great job as usual and that baby is so cute you just want to eat him up! Thanks for sharing! Hugs, Trac~ ;o)
craig wears a suit everyday to work.
this is something i think our kids will remember about him.
and this scene every few weeks…
 clean wet shirts drying in our room.
waiting to be ironed.
they will remember wrestling after work…
bike rides…
games in the yard…
playing basketball…
family night…
swimming together…
family meals…
eating ice cream.
 craig is a good dad.
he is present. he is loving. he is concerned. he is involved.
the kids will remember that too.
my dad was a good dad too.
he was just here for lunch.
thanks for staying dad.
things i remember about you dad…blue shirt and khaki pants A LOT.
a tray of colognes on your dresser.
wearing your head phones in your cushy chair in the library room.
the pocket door to the library room.
putting on records…and that sound that the needle makes when it first bounces onto the record.
your big speakers hanging in the living room that mom hated.
your office at the star journal.
the way you bend over and lean in and cover your eye when you take pictures.
buying shoes when we would come to wichita because most places didn't carry your size.
driving to fredonia in the little orange pick-up truck to have the newspaper printed after kindergarten.
counting oil wells on the way.
the smell of the printer.
getting a popsicle or treat at the grocery store sometimes while we waited.
listening to "hey babe you wanna boogie?".
drinking diet pepsi without the lid or a straw and always requesting extra ice.
i could go on and on.
i love you dad…hope you like your book.
and i love you too craig.
Beautiful post:-) We just drove by Fredonia yesterday on our way back home from Branson….part of our Father’s Day celebration. Very sweet, it sounds like you truly are blessed with an amazing family. such a sweet post! except about the ironing. i “get” to iron too 🙂 Lovely post. I don’t iron anything, so kudos to you! Luckily my husband doesn’t wear a suit to work (his workplace is more casual), or he’d be one rumpled Dad! Your memories of your own dad are simply, poetically stated. I should do that for my Dad; it expresses how you feel in a very understated way, yet it brings tears too. Thank you! Hi, you’re pictures are so pretty. We have the same camera and I can’t seem to get mine to look as colorful as yours. Any tips? enjoyed the California trip. Enjoyed this tribute to two great men in your life. Enjoyed just about everything…as usual :). Stop ironing by the way…you’re making the rest of us look bad! Great post! I iron my husband’s shirts too. I actually like doing it. We only send his suits to the dry cleaners. That made me cry, but in a good way! I love your blog, thanks for taking the time! what a nice post! love to hear what they remember about you. dry cleaner? great pics. Lovely. “he is present. he is loving. he is concerned. he is involved.” What a blessing! Can I send you Nick’s shirts to iron? My poor guy…his shirts stay wrinkled in a bin for weeks before I even think about getting to them. I did iron two shirts today for him. NO..make that three. those are great shirt pictures. That reminds me of my dad too. 🙂 Kelly I just discovered your blog yesterday, and then strangely enough had a dream last about you last night. The fact that I can remember that is in itself very odd, as I never remember my dreams. I love the tribute to your dad. It makes me what to write things that I fondly remember. That takes a little bit of effort! what a super fun fathers day tribute…love it! Such a sweet post. It made me want to list all the things about my own father that I love. I feel you on the shirts thing. I’m not as on top of it as I used to be… and I never feel more foiled than when I hang them wet and then they dry completely and I have to start all over. Do you start all over when that happens? I do, but maybe I shouldn’t? Perhaps there’s a trick I’m not aware of? This brought tears to my eyes. I don’t have a relationship with my father now, but I have wonderful memories like this from my childhood….about my dad and my grandfather. You triggered a few of those and I’m grateful for that. I’m so sorry, but this comment has nothing to do with this post. However, I wanted to let you know that I made the rainbow cake from your post awhile ago. I made it twice actually, in the same week. I had to make a trial cake to make sure it would turn out. I think it was the best birthday cake I have ever made! When our guests saw what was inside after the first piece was cut, they went nuts! Thanks for being such an inspiration!! 🙂 what a great post…totally made me think of my own dad and what I remember about him. Thank you for that – it’s been a while. What a great post… and a great house (sorry, been snooping around your blog today, and just had to tell you how much I love your house!). What a great post… and a great house (sorry, been snooping around your blog today, and just had to tell you how much I love your house!). so sweet… and i have to say too, i am mighty impressed that all your shirt hangers match!! You crack me up! Check out a similar scene at our house, hanging on the mantle in the living room. http://web.me.com/idealwife/Ideal_wife/My_Life_as_a_Redhead/Entries/2009/4/1_“Free_Time”.html Love that post. Reminds me of my honey. We have shirts drying everywhere too, until he irons them on Sunday nights. Great photos capturing an everyday memory. You’re so awesome. you are so blessed megan. god bless you and your family. great, great tributes. hey…someone nominated me for an eye candy award. over at socialluxe.

I voted!!!! i promise this is the last california set. you guys are troopers.
you have made it through…you deserve a starbucks.
after the hike through the trees and climbing through the goonies cave…
we went to a waterfall.
lauren said "i'm tired i am staying in the car."
we said "fine."
got out of the car not expecting too much.
then about 15 steps later….
 we see this.
and this is only the bottom half of it.
i went back to get lauren.
it was a sight that had to be seen.
 more climbing…
  we call her "california grace"
   hey look! we are all in the same frame!
very cool.
after the falls we drove back to reedley.
tonya's parents watched all the kids for us to go out for dinner without kids.
how awesome is that?! a date on vacation?!
we left the next morning to head back to LA.
the kids were sad to say goodbye.
we were sad too.
  we went to hollywood.
not nearly as cool as they make it look in the movies….
  julio iglesias is as interesting as anyone else.
we went to the beach again for the rest of the day.
then dinner…
 our first time at in-n-out burger.
talby had her first hamburger…she was finally brave enough…she liked it.
annie wouldn't do it or lauren either.
they are missing out…but they will have to figure that out on their own.
 then starbucks…
and swimming at the hotel…one room again. :)
we were up at 5 AM for our flight home.
  more UNO.
it was a great trip.
a tiring trip.
it was a trip we will never forget.
Love all the California pics and stories. these just made me smile today. i’m so glad to see YOU in some of these…i love the pony tails. you look adorable, yasmine. 😉 You saw Hollywood, the Redwoods, the coast, etc. etc….but so glad you didn’t miss the true California landmark of In-n-Out!! It doesn’t disappoint! 🙂 I have loved all of your California posts, almost feels like I was there. Thank you for taking us “with” you. I didn’t have many family vacations growing up and it’s fun seeing all the memories you are making with your children. I’ve always wanted a BIG family and your family makes me want it even more. I think it’s the only child in me 🙂 I love how lauren is totally voguing in that picture. That is a really great family photo of your whole clan…I imagine Lauren gets a bit annoyed at times when people confuse you for her sister! I have LOVED everyone of your California posts! (actually I love all your posts in generally, but anyway…) I miss CA so much and the places you went, Reedley, In & Out, Sequoia, the beach!, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and L.A., they are HOME to me. Thank you for giving me the little trips down memory lane, while enjoying getting to enjoy your family’s photos & memories. 🙂 Has anyone ever told you you look like Yasmine Bleeth? I am so sorry that your fabulous fabulous California holiday is over. A couple of years ago we were traveling in the UK and friends booked us into a self-catering park called California Park… They thought we would much prefer (five kids at the time) a self-catering than a hotel room… Well we nearly died it never got more than 4 degrees Celsius (40 degrees Fahrenheit) in the middle of summer… The prefab shack we were in was so freezing and damp, when you walked across the carpets the water squelched into your socks – euch! We had to get up every two hours and feed the heater 50p coins ( worse than an infant) just to survive!!! For us Capetonians from sunny South Africa it was a rude awakening to dying of exposure!!! Frankly your California looks nothing but divine and a place we would love to visit. California Park, UK , we will gladly miss!!! Thanks for sharing your holiday with us it was just lovely. waterfall is amazing! Meg, what a great vacation and you captured it with awesome pictures (eye candy, yes!). I am partial to the “where’s the teenager” pics because I have two of my own so I chuckle. Voted for the eye candy nom. Your pictures of your home are thoroughly drooled over! LOVE In-N-Out! We’re trying to hit as many as we can while we’re here in California this week. I had one protein style and it was still delicious. 🙂 Fab photos as always Megan. oh my word that waterfall is beautiful! and hollywood IS not as glamorous as everyone thinks- it’s dirty and crowded! haha and your in & out pics made me want some- yummy! do your kids not eat burgers??? Thanks for sharing your vacation with us! I have loved your pictures! Looks like a great vacation I’m so glad Lauren got out to experience the waterfall…and seemed to enjoy it. Looks like a great trip – you and Craig are amazing parents! OH, I can’t wait! Your trip report has made me even more excited for ours. We are treking cross country for Walley World. I cannot wait. Good for you for all you did….it was one to remember! Hi Meg! What an amazing adventure! I enjoyed all the pictures thoroughly. They will remember this for a life time with the pictures you’ve taken. Kids grow up way to fast not to take pictures every day! Wowie that is some waterfall and the rest of the scenery too. We stayed in Beverly Hills last summer for a few days when Ellie shot the St. Jude commercial with Jennifer Aniston. I had been to LA before but the whole Beverly Hills thing was surreal. Our 12 year old Emma absolutely loved the whole scene but I had to rain on her parade and let her know this is not reality for 99% of the world. We also stayed a day in Malibu and feel in love with it. The surfers, Pacific Coast Highway, the huge beach houses, sea lions… all of it. Thanks for taking us back! 1st in n out?! no way! 🙂 I loved every minute of seeing your vacation! But…I did treat myself to a Starbucks….it’s Saturday after all. I’ve voted for you! Congratulations on the nomination Megan! I was looking at this and I found myself showing my husband: I loved seeing your trip . . .I didn’t tire of it one bit, and looked forward to the next installment. I’m sorry it’s over! But I’ll take a starbucks anyway 🙂 Congrats on the blogluxe nominee. You were the only one I nominated on that entire thing 😉 Because anyone who is anyonw knows that your blog IS the best when it comes to eye candy. I can not wait to tell my kids that your kids passed on an IN N OUT burger! They won’t believe me! we loaded up two cars and tried to get out of town. a drug store…
a gas station…
a starbucks…
back into starbucks for a bathroom….
then a fruit stand and THEN we were out.
  we drove up moms in one car…dads in the other.
more time to chat.
 walking through a tree.
   being up in these amazing mountains was beautiful and so very quiet.
until annie had a meltdown.
it smelled like christmas.
this was a great place for the kids to run and jump and climb.
     do you want to play one of my favorite games?
it's been awhile since we've played….
find-the-teenager-who-doesn't-want-anyone-to-know-that-she-is-with-us.
 ha.
  we loaded up again and drove on to a spot for lunch.
this time only the dad's drove.
  i am sure annie is telling him what to do…she is good at that.
 we fed everyone by the water.
craig got to eat his fresh nectarines.
tonya brought rice krispie treats.
we had 2 coolers.
i looked around while we ate and felt like a REAL mom.
i was trying to soak in all in…be in the moment.
so happy to be able to be there with tonya.
we've known each other 20 years…and look how far we've come.
8.5 kids later vacationing half a country apart.
i love her.
then we headed up to the cave….had our own personal tour.
 it was very dark in there…hence the blurry photo.
all i could think of was Goonies.
i kept saying in a whisper voice "chester copperpot"
only craig got it. :)
 after being there i decide i don't need to ever do that again.
my mind kept racing thinking…what if we got stuck in here?
what if the lights go out?
yuck.
i realize i am sounding more and more crazy each california post…..
i am not.
at least i don't think i am.
(but do most crazy people really think they are crazy? hmmm )
 I NEED to have your camera. Your photos are really amazing. Love the last photo especially – too sweet! I have very fond memories of visiting there when I was a little girl. What a great trip down that lane. Wonderful pics! beautiful, i just love your blog bee YOU tee ful!! I think once would be enough for me too…. I wouldn’t have been able to keep my mind from wondering about what little (OR BIG) creatures might eat my family and make the 5 o’clock news 🙁 YIKES! Love Annie’s meltdown pic 🙂 Bless her little bones 🙂 I often believe I am NOT crazy because I am so aware of the fact that I AM crazy. Beautiful pictures! I just love Annie – I think I would give her whatever in the whole wide world she might want, seeing her curled up and crying on that bench (since she’s not MY child ha ha!) She just SO CUTE! Best of both worlds…Find the teenager, followed by a picture with a smile.:) Oh I just got Goonies at a garage sale for my girls. I can’t remember how scary it is or if it’s age appropriate…I remember seeing it as a kid but that’s not saying much;) Is that an iguana in the sequoia? Take a look at the second picture in this post. At the top of the tree everone is walking into, there is a perfectly detailed and fossilized-looking iguana perched up there. It even has its leg hanging down the side in perfect iguana style! Lions and tiger and bears oh my! Wow, those are some massive trees.. How cool to walk through one. I agree with you about the cave though – since I became a mom I am a little “crazy” myself. 🙂 SUCH a great vacation! Meg, I love it! If you’re crazy, I’m crazy too! 🙂 Love all the pictures… you’re making me want to go to CA tomorrow! Oh wow… seriously… wow. Thanks for sharing. We love state parks and practically lived at them in Colorado. Will explore more of KS and MO once the weather cools off. A state park pass is money well spent in this family. Quick walks, long nature hunts, easy picnics…..being outside and enjoying some good old fashioned family fun. So many people are missing that these days! I knew the tress were big but I didn’t know they were THAT big!! WOW!! very cool! The coolest is vacationing with friends. LOVE THAT!! This is on my bucket list…so, it was fun going with you! I love all your shots, especially the meltdown and the draggin’ behind all the rest teen shot! Hehehe! Been there, done that, two teenagers all through it, one to go! Wow what an amazing place. You’ve taken some fantastic pictures. I’d love to go there…..may I will someday!! 😀 oh, don’t you love CA? My hubbie I lived in Los Altos pre-kid days. 🙂 I miss those trees and all the yummy fruit stands. beautiful pictures! wow! i love the sequoias! there’s nothing like them is there??? I love The Goonies!!! Ruth, Baby Ruth! I love The Goonies!!! Ruth, Baby Ruth!
jenn wanted a few new pics for a father's day gift.

Megan, Thank you for taking such wonderful pictures of both my beautiful girls. I am blessed to have neighbors such as you, Craig and your family.

I LOVE peonies – can’t grow them in So Cal – wish I had a chance to “host” you when you visited if you come to LA again send an e-mail to sharleymcm@verzion.net. I’m Don Beverlin’s cousin.

Aw man, I saw that title and thought you were coming to London!! Still… amazing photos as ever. Loooove the flowers 🙂 Beautiful..that is going to make one happy daddy on Sunday. Your interview (previous post) was great… With that title I thought you were coming to London for a minute and I would use it as a great excuse to hop on a train:) Great pictures! And I love your out-and-about pictures. How do you always have your camera with you? What cute camera case do you use? Just wondering, as I often see shots and wish I had my camera. A-dorable!!! Really cute photos. I am sure her daddy loved them! Have a great day MEGAN!!! 😉 A-dorable!!! Really cute photos. I am sure her daddy loved them!

Wendy - Oh great. Now I want a house made out of chocolate, too…
Aubrey - She’s so funny. And cute. How do you remember all the stuff she says? When my kids say things, I can’t remember them 5 minutes later, I just remember they said something funny.

adrienneK - omg SO cute!!!
elizabeth - the camera (at least yours) is that child’s FRIEND. Those are fantastic shots — and her comments are priceless. My own son wants to be a mailman because he can wear shorts (we live in California), drive a really cool truck and he’s a good sorter.

Jen@ourdailybigtop - That is so sweet. I love the photos – they fit her words so well. PS: I know where you can get a really big diamond (Michaels or any craft store). I know b/c my little girl asked for one for Christmas.
