I am the new (temporary) owner of this fabulous fainting couch.? Yippeeee for me!? Aunt Beck bought it years ago and I have had my eye on it since the beginning.? She finally took pity on me and is letting me use it for a season.? It’s going to be adorable for newborns I think.? Big couch – little baby – so sweet.

It’s awfully perfect for this trio too.? This is my niece Karsyn and nephews Ryker and Cooper.? Jodi and I did a quick mini shoot before Christmas.?? We wanted to do them outside but the weather wasn’t cooperating on our available days so we settled on a mini indoor.

Karsyn is five and in kindergarten.? She is smart as a whip and manages to wrap (pretty much everyone) around her finger.? This trait comes from her Daddy no doubt.? I think Karsyn looks them most like my brother too (I also see Sweetie).

Sidenote:? Speaking of Sweetie….today’s conversation in the car.

Tanner:? Mom you know when Dave took me to my football game?

Me:? UNCLE Dave

Tanner:? No.? I mean Dave.? Not Uncle Dave.

Me:? Dave is your uncle.? You have Uncle David and Uncle Dave.? Uncle Dave is your great Uncle.? (I explain how all that works and then discuss granparents and great grandparent connections).

Tanner:? What?? You mean SWEETIE is my GRANDMA?

Me:? Uh?????? YEAH!!!? How on earth did you not know that!!!? Who did you think Sweetie is?

Tanner:? Sweetie.? She is Sweetie.? I never knew she was my grandma.

LOL.? Good grief.? That can’t possibly be true.? If so – someone fire me as a teacher.? Now.

(And by the way, the whole point of this conversation was to tell me how Uncle Dave drove on the sidewalk curb when he had to turn around.? 🙂 )

This is Ryker Roo.? Ryker and Tori would have been 10 days apart had they both been born on their due dates.? They are a riot together and finally starting to play together.? They were playing hide and seek with Uncle Dusty the other night and (all three) were so cute to watch.

We had a little hat/eye shade problem here but I still thought they were pretty cute here so I had to keep it.

This one because it made me laugh.? Always have to have a smartie pants in the bunch.

And here is our baby….Cooper at six months

Cooper is the chunkiest baby the entire Zimmermann clan has ever had and we LOVE it!? He will eat anything and everything.? No full button.? He is the smiliest little guy too and I can’t keep my lips off his cheeks.? Scrumptious baby!

This is him smiling at his mama.? He has quite the mama attachment.

Maybe…just maybe…I’ll get my kids Christmas pictures done this weekend.
