happy weekend! and happy st patrick's day.
we managed to avoid just about everything green this weekend. on saturday morning we made it down to the village for a fun (and fa-reezing) shoot with our friends at hunter boots, followed by an attempt at warming-up with some insanely decent waffles at the waverly . . . i baked me up a little lemon blueberry cake that surprisingly turned out pretty good, despite my best efforts at ruining it (i am channeling my inner anne shirley these days and botching cakes left and right, like a boss) . . . and on sunday we went to church, had the home teachers over, heated up a super random assortment of frozen food for dinner (time to order the groceries!), then took ourselves on a bundled up family walk to the park to get the wiggles out of our toddler (i wore three pairs of pants, seriously. i was still freezing).
here then are a few odds and ends from our cold, cold weekend.
(i only managed to get brandon in ONE shot. you win this time, ginger!)

Your family is adorable. Even in the frigid winter. (: My fiance and I have the very same hats. Great minds and whatnot. (; (See: http://chantelleelace.wordpress.com/2012/12/22/best-friends-it-says-so-right-on-our-hats/_ )

Those best friends beanies are the cutest!!!
ReplyDeleteSomeday when I'm a momma I sincerely hope that I have a child that is 1/4 as cute as your little guy is. Look at him, already modeling like a pro!
ReplyDeleteAnd also, freaking YES for someone else who understands the lameness of St. Patrick's day. I was beginning to think I was the only one!
Steady on! It's not lame here in Ireland, it's a celebration of our patron saint, a day to be also be proud of our heritage and it's important to us Irish folk.
DeleteLoiove the best friends hats, whered you get them?
ReplyDeleteI just can't help but smile every time I read your blog. You are just too sweet and adorable! All of you crazy heads!
ReplyDeletejust love // kelly
Your beanies are VERY cute - no idea what you call them in the USA but those wooly hates you're wearing.
ReplyDeleteOhmygoodness! I love everything about this post - the Hunter Boot shoot (A-FREAKIN-DORABLE) and the Best Friends hats (way too cute for words). Looks like you guys had an awesome weekend!

Cute outfits!! Your son poses really well, he's a natural. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your matching beanies too!
Sooo...you order groceries? how does that work? Do they actually deliver them to your home???
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure nothing like that is offered to any one under 60 in rural Kentucky, but it sounds AWESOME!
ah I love these photographs. I love the little hunters and beanies x
ReplyDeleteThe Hunter Boots shoot looked like so much fun! Loved Brandon's hat too. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun weekend, hopefully this week will be just as kind to the Holbrooks!
such fun! and let's just pretend it's not still sooo cold in march, huh?
ReplyDeleteHuck looks like he's having so much fun! Great photos : )
ReplyDeleteHuck is so stinkin' cute!! xo

Fun weekend! That lemon-blueberry cake looks delicious. I tried to make Thai sticky rice for dessert on Saturday night and it was terrible, so I get the botching.
ReplyDeleteCute photos, too! I can't believe how photogenic Huck is :)
The lemon blueberry cake looks great! Awesome photos, particularly the first one
ReplyDeleteAhhh so darling! I love your matching hats! Get all the time you can with him when he's still willing to wear such things! Utterly priceless!

Order groceries? Yeah, I picked up on that...I'd love to order groceries...Grocery store sometimes makes me cringe.
ReplyDeleteYour family. I am dying of happiness.
ReplyDeleteTHOSE CHEEKS! Your son is the cutest Natalie. Adorable smile and all. Looks like he had a blast in those boots ;) PS I feel for you after reading the hormone story - don't forget, in the end, everything will turn out fine.
ReplyDeletei am seriously obsessed with your hats. i want a baby now just so i can wear best friends hats with him/her. also, as usual, huck is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI feel like every comment I leave is just "awesome photos!" "so cute!" but really, it's true every time. Looks like a fun (and snuggly!) weekend and glad you're perking up :]]] SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!
ReplyDeleteDo people tell you that you look like lana del ray all the time because you super do!
ReplyDeleteVery cute pics :)

Beautiful posts, beautiful pictures, beautiful family! Thnx for sharing - I've always wanted to go to NYC but your blog always makes me long for it that little bit more :)
ReplyDeletewhere in the village can i find this park? my daughter would love the train!
ReplyDeleteI love the first picture on this post and your matching Best Friends beanies! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to be a mama!
I love the backdrop of your photos! The big city is amazing.
ReplyDeleteIs that really what a good waffle is? Eggs and bacon and such? I've tried that once but didn't enjoy it. Waffles to me have always been dessert food and now cold winter days at the train station food served in a fold of thick waxed paper so your hands don't get sticky and burnt. They come hot and sugary!
There's nothing better than the aroma of waffles in the winter, snowy air!
It was so cold Sunday, I hated it!!! And now snow? What the h, new york! Just 3 more days til spring...
ReplyDeleteI love blueberries, I LOVE lemon, and I love the Anne Shirley shout out, what with being from P.E.I. and growing up playing with LM Montgomery's descendants at the Lake of Shining Waters. I give this post an A+. Cute baby helps. (Cute baby drove it up to + status).
ReplyDeleteLemon blueberry bread is one of my very favorite things to make. And I'm the only one in the house who eats it. Oh darn! (Also, let's pretend that I left this comment on the correct post the first time okay?)
ReplyDeleteYour breakfast looks amazing and Huck is looking more and more like a big boy every time I stop by your blog.
ReplyDeleteHe's so adorable! I love the close-up picture of Huck. So cute!
ReplyDeleteHaven't been to visit in a while! thought I'd pop in and say HI.
ReplyDeleteYou look as gorgeous as ever and your wee man has grown so much!
st. paddy's scrouge here too! WHATWHAT
ReplyDeleteLove the hats! Super cute! :)
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, you guys are serious rockstars! Love the Hunter Boots photoshoot! And I love your best friends hats. Adorable!!
