More Cousins...

I've been trying to get the blog caught up from our trip to Arizona and Christmas. However, I am moving slowly and I realize it seems like I was showing favorites. I was really just going through the photos as they came off my camera!!!

While in Arizona, we were with ALL of the cutest cousins ever. Here are some photos of Kevin's sister's boy. He's almost 6 months old and will melt your heart!

He has THE MOST AMAZING EYES! Check them out!

We all loved meeting him finally. My boys loved playing with him, but can't wait until he can run around wild with them. Maybe next year?

My Sister's Beautiful Family

It's taken me forever, but I finally have some photos ready to share of my sister's beautiful family...

Introducing.....

my new niece!

She's a month old today and I am so happy that I was able to meet her in person. We spent the week before Christmas in Arizona with family (hence the lack of blog updates!) I took some photos and my sister is excited to see them. So, without further ado....


Here she is!

More photos of cuties to come!

An early Christmas Wish from our family to yours!

Rock On!

Pilgrim Hats and New Floors!

I'm so behind on my posts! We're finally finished with the mess of the floors. Everyone is paid and legal documents are signed and they are out of my life forever, but that's a different post!

Here is a fun project (and yummy) that Big Brother and I made for Thanksgiving...

Melt chocolate chips and cover marshmallows.

Place on top of Keebler Striped Fudge cookies

Let harden and pipe yellow "buckles". Enjoy!!!

Too cute!

Now, onto the floors!

The kitchen (since then, they put new molding to hide the awful areas next to the cabinets. They look a lot better.

2 views of the Living room...

We are waiting until we can put down rugs. I think it'll warm up the place and also give my sore feet a break!

Traditions

I love the photo above of Big Brother. He had Camo from head to toe! In the upper right photo- he was testing out his camo behind a tree. See if you can find him!

The "family" photo above was taken by Big Brother with my dSLR camera! I'd say he has a photography future!

Another family photoshoot

After seeing an earlier post of some photos I took of a friend's family, an old friend contacted me to do some photos for her family. She and I grew up as neighbors in Arizona. Now, she's out here and we reconnected over photos and dinner. It was a fun night...

Thanks for the practice guys!

Family Photoshoot

A friend of mine asked me to take photos for their Christmas Card. Many of you know this beautiful family...

I won't reveal their Christmas Card, but wanted to share a few of my favorites of their girls.

This one is my favorite. They just moved to this beautiful new house and I love the Welcome mat in front of the new front door!

Couldn't have asked for more beautiful scenery with the fall leaves.

I had a great time working on their photos. Thanks for letting me practice on you guys! 

Birthday Boy!

Look who turned 3 today!

(These pictures were taken before the cold hit earlier this month!) 

I am trying to write a little something to remember what he is like right now. Amazing how hard that is! This little boy is full of complexities! In one instant, he's laughing hysterically at Tom & Jerry and in the next, he's stomping up to his room in a crying fit because his plate is the wrong color! In one instant, he's singing silly words to a favorite song and the next he's hitting his brother. Despite the challenging moments, this little guy has added much joy and laughter to our family over the past 3 years. He's full of cuddles, of silly songs, and belly laughs! He's so big, but yet still my baby.    

And, this boy is just as special to us too!
