On Monday Night

Love the way she is holding on to Simon's chin, especially in the second photo. Too cute.

Love your posts! Love being reminded to keep it simple ... tell the story ... get it documents and down! I am still doing the documentation for my "week" in the life summer edition (lol) Which turned into two and a half because we had friends fly in which accounted for even more important moments. I am so glad you encouraged and orchestrated this event. :)

I love photobooths! My daughter and her best friend do this each summer when they visit each other and do a strip or two each. What a time capsule. They are seniors this year so this set is extra special and I hope they fly to each other next summer to continue the story.

I downloaded a photobooth iphone ap at the beginning of the summer and we've used it a lot! Especially my six year old. He uses it with his friends all the time. Especially when meeting new friends at the park to remember them. I am thankful parents are so easy going about letting him take pictures with their kiddos. We have yet to have anyone say no.

Smurfs:
I love the memories being rekindled from when my siblings were young and obsessed with smurfs. (My sister was a Strawberry Shortcake and My Pretty Pony girl too.) My brother still has the folder and bookmark with a note I wrote inside when he was ten and had just had surgery. I think about all of the trips to the store I made with them on foot to buy them a special item they really "needed" at the drug store and getting a bottled, ice cold Coke from a machine. While I didn't love the smurf movie, I love the stories I can share with my children, niece and nephew from when we were young.

Hugs to you! :)

how cute is that video?!!

Simon looks like the sweetest boy!!

we just did a photo booth visit while on vacation in myrtle beach and ours was a blababooth too. :) super cute.

Your entire family is beautiful, friend, but your sparkly-boy is STRAIGHT. UP. HANDSOME.

This is adorable! I've never seen the photo booth with video. Simon and Anna are such beautiful children. Thanks for sharing!

How lovely is this! Both Anna and Simon have such mobile, lively faces and huge dark eyes ... stunning! (and nice to see you in motion, rather than as a still! :)).

That is so cool! I will have to check out our new photo booth at the theater to see if it has such cool options!
Your kids are way too cute!

That is so cool Ali!! love it :)

Wow, was reading this on Flioboard and had to go to the web to say how beautiful Simon's eyes are only to see a million people beat me to how beautiful you all are lol.

Omg! Your kids are just too darn cute!! :)

Oh, we can see the love!!! Greatness!!!

Ali, last summer my girls got in the blabbabooth, it was hysterical because they did not know it recorded them. when we accessed the video online there was sound, it may have been turned off. but omgosh, they did it twice not knowing it was recorded, tried to get them to do it again the next trip to the mall, but it just wasnt the same because they knew :(

I love that Anna has her hand on Simon's chin. Your kids are so darn cute!

Ali -
I view your blog on a regular basis...quickly between kids requests...I NEVER post a comment -
Tonight it is time to tell you that I think you are an amazingly cool person and a brilliant mother! Your tasks are unconditional - I don't know you, but I am so confident to say that your heart, your actions and your spirit is exactly what kiddos need, what best friends need and what husbands need -
Truly, a really cool family -
I enjoy your stories
Thank you for sharing!
Okay, that's it :)
