Brothers...and best friends

We always talked about how close the boys might/might not be with a 3 year difference.  Austin was a great big brother when Mason was a baby.  He made life easier by being very helpful, potty-trained, could verbally let us know what he needed, etc.  These 2 are the best of buds these days.  They play well together most of the time.  Just last week I found them in Austin's bedroom on the bed having a great time rolling around and acting silly.  It made my heart smile to hear them having so much fun.  Mason typically wants what Austin has.  Austin does a great job sharing...if it's food.  If it's a toy...not so much.  These two have many fun years ahead.  I'm so happy they are so good to each other!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Mason is really starting to get into the picture taking thing.  Often times when I'm in the Studio at my desk I look over to my shooting area and he's posing and smiling.  It melts my heart!  We decided to do some Tom Cruise Valentine's this year for our close family and friends.  Here are some of the results.  The boys had so much fun!

We pulled up a picture of Tom Cruise from Risky Business online so Austin could see what we were talking about...there is a huge generation gap and he had no idea what I was talking about.

Austin is my poser...and now Mason too.  We were laughing so hard at this.  

Mason was trying to be just like Austin!

Mr. Serious decided to finally show off those huge 4 teeth he has!

This is the true brother relationship we see fairly often.  

It's so hard to get these 2 to smile nicely AND look at the camera at the same time.

Of course when they're in their underwear they do!  Gawk!

Although Tom Cruise is a total hunk...we decided he should put some clothes on for his school Valentine's!
