Practicing photography part 2


Here is the picture of Megan I took about a month and a half ago. This one is my favorite! Look at my sweet girl who is growing up sooo fast! We took a lot of great photos on this day and I will post them later but I love this one and wanted to share. Tyler's and Caitlyn's pictures to follow...

The Blur

I was trying to take pictures of Caitlyn the other day and I could not get her to sit still long enough to get her picture. I guess she is finally at that age where I am going to have to bring in reinforcements to entertain her while I take her picture. I thought these were cute anyway...










The Queen

Megan was cold the other day and so she wrapped herself in a blanket. Then she got the idea to make a robe out of blankets, like a queen. What you are looking at is two blankets a robe and a sheet. I can't believe she wasn't burning up. Silly girl...

First day of school

Okay still catching up...the kids have been in school for about a month. Wow time flies! Megan was really excited to go back to school and Tyler was not(he is already at that age!). They both were moving up with the same class so they didn't really have any nerves. They are still in the Classical education program and loving it. I tried not to take pictures in front of their friends but I couldn't help it. They still humor me...

Look at those cheeseball smiles ;)


Tyler just found out that his best friend Louis skipped a grade and they are in the same class, can you tell how happy he is!

Tyler turns 9!

I know this is really late but Tyler turned 9! My pictures were trapped on my other computer so it took me a while to retrieve them. Tyler wanted a Pokemon party this year. Unfortunately there were not Pokemon decorations at the store. Everything was being clearanced out so all we found were the masks. I was going to make a pinata but then decided to simplify things so that I wouldn't go crazy. We went to a park that Tyler and Megan call the twisty park because a lot of the equipment twists and spins. It is a really cool park. We had cake and played some minute to win it games, which were really funny to watch. All in all it was a great party and we had fun! I can't believe my baby is 9!


The invitation. It's a Pokeball.


The birthday boy!

The cake. I was going to use fondant and then chickened out. I think my version of Pikachu looks like a yellow bunny but Tyler liked it so I was happy.


One of the games. They had to pick up 3 pasta pieces with a spaghetti noodle.


They had to roll an egg with their noses to the finish line, classic!

Caitlyn-7 Months

I was a little late getting Cailtyn's 6 mo. pictures taken so these are her 7 mo. pictures :) We love them. Now we have to figure out which ones to enlarge. We want a bathtub one for the bathroom and a regular one for the living room. Any opinions?

4th of July

We had a great pre 4th of July celebration with our friends the Head family. We felt getting really crazy with fireworks wasn't really a Sunday activity so we got together on Saturday. The Head family came over with their fire pit and we had smores, which kept the kids going until it got dark. We then had a great time with fireworks, sparklers, and pop its. Caitlyn woke up during the middle of our festivities and Graydon was ecstatic because he didn't want her to miss her first 4th of July. I was worried that she would be scared of the loud noises but she just stared at them with those curious eyes of hers. Yeah maybe she won't be scared of them! The kids were up until 11:30 so you can just imagine what the next day was like! It was worth it, though, we had a great time!


All of the kids being patient while the moms got pictures


mmmm Smores










Megan got cold so she got out her winter coat. She also got out her sunglasses, apparently she felt she needed them, silly girl:)
