Sevyn's 1 Year Photo Shoot!

Sevyn is now an active 1 year old, and we finally were able to do her photo shoot. We were suppose to do it last month, but she climbed on and fell off of a chair and busted her eye. She had a black and blue eye for the last three weeks, and it has finally healed.

These pictures are all raw, they are unedited and uncropped our printed versions are cropped correctly and look awesome!! It really was one of her best photo shoots to date. Just goes to show that a good nap and lunch can fix anything!!!

I am not changing the order of all of these pics, so they are in reverse order, but I don't think it really matters. Enjoy!!

We love this expression on her face . . . she has so much personality.

We were trying to get Sevyn too look profile to get a good shot so we were teasing her with a flower. She shot us this look when we tried to get the flower out of her hands . . . priceless!

Coloring

Sevyn loves to color. I usually let her use markers when she is coloring because they show up better. Her form has gotten pretty good. We were hoping she would be left handed, but it looks like she may go right . . . who knows, it could all change on down the road.

Yes, that is marker all over her mouth. Occasionally she likes to suck on the end of the markers. This is a great example of me not catching her quickly enough before sucking on the ends. I figured its okay thought, the markers are washable and non-toxic! : )

In her daddy's shoes . . . and randomness!

We were playing at the Mav's offices, and Sevyn started playing with the foam heads that Jim has on his desk. We were putting them on her and she would pull them right back off. It was quite the battle, but eventually I got a couple of okay shots.

Who say's you can't wear it backwards? This character is the much loved Phinatic from Phillie.

She is learning the word Yellow, so she kept pointing and trying to say it. This is Rocky from Denver.

I think Champ needs a foam head! Don't you?

On our way out the door, we saw the 7 foot tall Dirk bobble head. It was a perfect photo op moment.

The base is signed, no I didn't let her stand on the signature. What's crazy is someone is going to win this thing. Can you see it now, "honey I am home. Can you help me unload the car?" HA!!! Where would someone put this thing, and whose wife would allow it!

Jim had Monday off so we went to a play event called Leapin' Lizards. It was quite a bit of fun. Lots of inflatables and a big play area to crawl through tunnels and things. I had to go on all the slides and things with her so I was exhausted when it was done.

As much as we love our daughter, she is not fragile so we don't treat like she is fragile. In this video you will see Sevyn going down a big slide. Seriously, the looks we got for letting her do this. She's 1-years-old people . . . and she LOVED it!!

All Star Jam Session

This week is the All Star Game and yes it is hosted in the "Big D"

Last night, we went to the All Star Jam Session which was AWESOME!!!

Champ entertained for about 2 hours. We caught the last hour or so, and Sevyn was able to get in on the entertainment. However, she didn't take an afternoon nap so she was tired and had very little personality on court. This isn't her typical "stage" behavior . . . she LOVES playing with daddy in costume.

There was a really fun kids play area that Sevyn enjoyed. After Jim was done working we were able to play with him some. It was a really fun time!!!

But towards the end of the evening Sevyn just had to give it up and she just layed down right in the middle of it all. It was really funny! It was like she was saying, "Y'all just go on ahead, I will be right here when you come back."

On our way out we stopped by the life sized Bobble Head doll. We took one of those "I was Here" Pics much like we did on our D.C. trip with the lighthouses and statues.

Then we stopped at the NBA Store where we were surprised at how much Champ merchandise there was. There were two shirts with his picture on them, an embroidered kids hat, and a basketball. Yes we bought the basketball and hat, friends of ours had already purchased one of the shirts, and I bet we buy the other before the All Star game is over. How often do you get merchandise with your dad's character on it!!! Not too often!!! I think Jim felt pretty honored to be represented.

It's Snowing!!!

We had a lot of fun playing out in the snow today!!!

It's beautiful.
