M Family . . .

This little guy is 15 months old.  I just love this age!  He’s happy and downright adorable. 

And who could resist this face?

I had a great time getting to know your family!  Thanks for letting me hang with you on a Friday night. 

Camping . . .

So last weekend we went camping with the “youth”, most of whom are my cousins.  Youth isn’t exactly what we are anymore (although Kirk would like to think differently 🙂 ), but we used to hang out together in our church youth group years ago.   We are trying to make this camping an annual thing.  We had tons of fun.   One of the best parts is watching our “youth” run around and have fun together.

I bet some of you were thinking tents when I mentioned camping.  Ha ha . . . think again.  I know Phil and Duane . . . you slept in tents . . . whatever. 

First stop . . . we needed some fuel perks to fill this thing up with gas.

My FAVORITE picture.  Our “youth” after a little swim in the lake.  LOVE this.

(I hate it that horizontal images are so small.)

My boy learned to ride without training wheels while we were there!  I’m so proud of him.

A little view of the lake . . .

What guys do the second they become aware of the camera . . . actually, Bob looks like he is being arrested.

 

 

 

 

T family . . .

I loved meeting you!  I know you are excited to see these so I’m sharing quite a few.  I have lots more!  Enjoy!

 

I know I say this a lot . . . but I really did have fun!  T fam . . . you were a blast to be with.  Your kids just light up around you.  It was wonderful to capture that.  Thanks!

 

 

My youngest turned 3 recently . . .

and I am so happy to have these pics of her!  I just LOVE when I can capture that irresistable laugh!  Yes, I am a bit obsessed with the yellow wall right now, but I had not taken any of my own kids there until yesterday.  I’m so glad I did.   I picked up the dress at JCP on clearance for $7 . . . and I love how it looks with the yellow.   And the strawberries are from our garden!  I am not a gardener at all . . . love the idea . . . but the implementation, well that’s another story.  I have to say though, I’m pretty proud of those little organic berries.

and a little bw vintage . . .

Under the Lights . . .

My son’s t-ball game started at 8pm last night.  That’s pretty late for the little ones . . . but he was so excited to play under the lights (“like the Big League”).  The sun was still pretty bright when they started, but sure enough, the lights came on at the end. 

A Few Spots Left . . .

Just wanted to post and let you know if you are thinking of having a session you should schedule soon.  My summer months are booked.  I have one or possibly 2 spots left in September and 2 spots left in October.  I may take a couple sessions in the beginning of November and after that it is a break for family sessions until spring 2009.  I will do newborns and small children indoors in the winter, but no families unless you want a snow session.  Hey, I’m up for snow sessions.  Why not? 

Thanks so much to everyone who has scheduled already.  I look forward to meeting you! 

Now I know I have not blogged pics lately and that is because my camera is in the shop for repairs for the second time.  And as much as this frustrates me, my house is getting a good spring/summer cleaning!  I’m preparing to get some large pics of my own kiddos for my wall so I’ll show you the results when all that is done.

And I’ll post one pic of my son because this one just cracks me up . . . can you say GUILTY???
