Hipster Kid Rocks Hard

Corbin in all her glorious awesomeness.

Wayfarers

She's just too cool for school.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Christmas this year has been especially exciting! Three more days until Santa comes!

And They're Off!

Corbin loves doing the kids races during half-time at the Savannah Derby Devils bouts. Here I am, cheering her on from the sidelines. Go Corbi Go!!

Future Derby Lass

Corbin playing around with my skates and roller derby gear. Can't wait for her to be old enough to get involved in a junior league! ;D

Miss (Corbin) Olivia the Pig!

The costume came out marvelously, I must say, even if trick-or-treating was sort of a bust!

Just a refresher, Olivia the Pig!


And Corbin's final look!


Super pleased with myself, I have to admit! The ears were the hardest part to make, but I'm happy with how they came out! The costume was definitely recognizable because while we were out, some little kids said, "Aww, look! It's Olivia!"

Score one for awesomest mom ever. :) Happy Halloween!

Presenting...OLIVIA!

SO! The costume is (mostly) assembled! With the help of a fellow teacher/sewer/mother, I have made the shirt and dress. They are by no means perfect, but I think for my first foray into sewing, they are magnificent!

The dress and shirt, before adding buttons. And there's supposed to be a pocket, but I'm beginning to feel it's not worth it, so I think we'll go without!



Corbi-lou in her costume! I think she really likes it! :)


And imagine red and white tights instead of black, because that's what she'll be wearing!


And so now I just have to make the ears, and I'm REALLY hoping that's the easy part! We'll see! Can't wait until Halloween! :D

It's Almost Halloween...

So I just noticed that I haven't posted here in two months. Please forgive me. I will eventually get this show back on the road, but I let myself get overwhelmed and so now I'm occupied with other things and this has been pushed to the wayside for the time being. ALL IN GOOD TIME, my friends.

ANYWHO.

It's that time of the year. MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR. I love October, and I absolutely LOVE Halloween. Now that I have a kid, I get to dress her up and take her trick-or-treating and it's so AWESOME!! So Corbin's first Halloween, she was as cute as a pumpkin...




...and last year she was the fair and beautiful Snow White.




THIS YEAR, however...I'm making her costume by hand. And I give you...

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN...



OLIVIA!!

So yes, we're going to be Olivia the pig this year. I'm going to be making the shirt (because I can't find one anywhere that doesn't cost an arm and a leg *coughAmericanApparelcough*) and the red dress. And the ears. Can't forget the ears!! I ordered the tights today (yay free shipping and 10% off at BabyLegs.com), so I'm not backing down or copping out! I've been putting off making the costume because I was scared to commit to making something by hand, but in the spirit of Halloween and all future Halloweens, it's time to get started!! I solemnly vow from here on out, Corbin will have the coolest costumes of all time because I WILL be making them.

THE END!

I'll let you know how it goes! Don't worry, I WILL post pictures! :D

139:365 The Rusty Look

7/9/10

This look should be trademarked. It's definitely an Owens characteristic, first witnessed in my baby sister Ashley when she was younger, and now I've seen a recurrence in my own baby girl! She may not look like me, but this look definitely came from my dad!


And please, check out the crazy get-up. She styled herself, lol. And she seems to think the headband goes better this way, haha.

LATER THAT DAY...there seems to be a mess of shredded toilet paper on the couch...who could have done it?!

We're innocent! Look at those puppy dog eyes!

She looks so guilty, doesn't she? And she doesn't seem to care, either, haha.

No flash photography, please! But the crime has already been caught on camera!


Ah well. Could have been worse, I'm sure. :)

116:365 Rain Boots!

6/16/10

So Corbin was looking as cute as ever in her cupcake onesie and tutu-style skirt, and she had already pulled my rain boots out of the closet, so I figured I could snap a few pictures of her looking extra silly!


It didn't take long before she realized she couldn't even pick up her feet!

This is how she preferred to wear the rain boots:


She's so silly! Now if only I had somewhere to be in the rain where I could justify wearing the coolest rain boots of all time! (Thanks again, Bridget! One of the best birthday presents ever, they were! :D)

111:365 Flower Child!

6/11/10

So this day in particular I'm not sure what was going on, but I've got some crazy and funny pictures of the Corbs, and they cracked me up! The first one was a little blurry, but totally awesome, so I used it! My "flower child," heehee. Check out that get-up!


Silly kid! I guess she found me entertaining!

And totally zoned out here. I'm assuming whatever the television was saying was much more interesting, haha.

And I couldn't pass on this picture because it was so ridiculously Corbin. I'm almost certain that has to be PopTart!


I love silly dress-up days!

109:365 Little Lamb

6/10/10

I love these pictures because Corbin's outfit and her expressions and the chipped nail polish on her toenails...totally has me thinking of teenage Corbin. Kinda scary, but I think she's going to be an awesome kid!

My little lamb, looking rather devious, wearing her lamb ears from her first Easter. :)

Doesn't she totally look like she's up to NO GOOD?! She was probably getting ready to graffiti the book at her feet!

My adorable baby girl with all her personality shining through! She's such a little me, I swear. :)


Also, isn't that chair the coolest thing? So glad we happened upon it! It's now in our "library" at the new place. We REALLY have a lot of books, heehee.

100:365 Corbin in Wonderland

5/31/10

Corbin's Day 100! I had a big idea, but knew it was going to be difficult to execute. Even though I wasn't exactly able to capture my vision, I definitely got some cute shots and had fun playing dress-up with the Corbs!

I give you...Corbin in Wonderland! :D


Corbin's outfit includes her Easter dress from last year (12 months size...It took FOREVER to iron and then I didn't even know if it was going to fit! It ended up being okay for this, but not to wear anywhere, lol.), her black tutu, her black and white BabyLegs tights, and a black bow that used to be mine. And Winston's get-up included bunny ears. I was going for a "Follow the White Rabbit" theme. :)

Some outtakes!

I love her little chubby cheeks in this picture. :)

Such a pretty smile! She was having a good time (she LOVES being outside).

Crazy faces! I can't remember what Ryan was doing, but he got Winston really excited and he took off right after I luckily snapped this picture, haha.

And the rain drove us inside, so I snapped a few pictures there. I like this one. That chair is fantastical. :)


So yes, finally, my Alice in Wonderland themed shoot. It was fun! :D And now it's time to get caught up again! I actually had this post ready to go on the day I took these pictures, but I wasn't sure if I was happy with my editing of the daily photo, so I put off posting it until I was satisfied. :P
