Child Photographer Pittsburgh | At Home Kid Photography | Swimming

Being outside and playing in the water is what summer is all about.   Although it is fun getting out and going on adventures with my two little ones, it is nice sometimes to just spending the day playing in the backyard.   This past week I decided to head to the store and get all of the outdoor toys that I could think of.  I loaded up my shopping cart with squirt guns, a water table, basketballs, and bubbles.   Days spent outside playing with my girls are by far my favorite days.  Here are just a few of my favorite pictures of us playing in the pool.

Pittsburgh Lifestyle Photographers | Pittsburgh Zoo Family Day

Now that summer is here I hope that we will be able to do something as a family every week.   There was a high of 79 degrees on Monday so we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather by spending the day at the Pittsburgh Zoo.  It turned out to be such a fun day!   We decided to start with the aquarium and work our way backwards through the zoo.  It was really nice starting with the playground and then spending a majority of our time just walking around the aquarium and looking at the fish.

Pittsburgh Lifestyle Photographers | Groundbreaking Ceremony

We broke ground this week!   We have been looking forward to this moment since the day we decided to build our home.   The past month I have been thinking of fun ways to get my girls involved and excited about the process.   One of the ideas that I definitely wanted to do was a little groundbreaking ceremony.   As soon as we found out that they were breaking ground, we loaded up our shovels and headed over.  The girls loved watching the construction workers prepare the lot for the following day and playing in the rocks.  After officially breaking ground, we headed out for ice cream to celebrate!

Pittsburgh Kid Photographers | Nicolette Dixon Photography | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania | Happy Birthday Allie

We usually plan Allie’s birthday party around a theme and have a cake made that matches that theme.  This year when I asked Allie what she wanted to do for her birthday, she said she wanted to go camping.   So instead of a party, we are taking the girls to the lake later this month.  Since we were home for her actual birthday, I still wanted to make the day special.   That morning she woke up to birthday pancakes and presents.   I decided that morning that she needed a cake on her actual birthday as well so we headed to Target and got all of the ingredients to make a yellow cake with chocolate frosting.  I picked up some cute decorations for the top of the cake and carefully thought about what sprinkles and candles would match the birthday banner cake topper.   This cake was going to be adorable!   When we got home, Allie really wanted to help me make the cake so we laid everything out on the coffee table.  I thought that I would grab a couple of pictures so ran upstairs to grab my camera.  By the time I got downstairs, Allie was already frosting the cake.   I grabbed a couple of pictures and then when I went to put the camera down, she grabbed the cake and placed it on the cake stand.   In the meantime, Adalyn was running around and grabbing spoons so that she could help.   It was chaos!  Even though I was planning on decorating the cake myself and having Allie assist, it was way more fun this way.  While I was washing the chocolate frosting off of Adalyn’s hands and face, Allie had completely taken over control of the cake decorating and put the birthday banner on.  I quickly grabbed a couple of pictures before I had to stop Adalyn again from getting into something else.   When I got back I saw that Allie had stuck all of the candles in the cake.   Although the cake turned out a little different from what I had envisioned, I love the memories we created yesterday.   It was complete chaos and there were sprinkles all over the place, but it was worth it to see the smile on Allie’s face.  The crazy part was that when we tried lighting the cake, the candles set the birthday banner on fire.  Then after I blew out the fire, we ran out of lighter fluid.  So instead of blowing out 20 candles, Allie only got to blow out a few.   Here are a couple of pictures from our chaotic afternoon decorating Allie’s birthday cake.
