First Photo Shoot

When Dave and Vanessa were in town visiting, they asked if I would take some family pictures of them. OF COURSE I said YES! Although this was my first time photographing someone else besides my own family. But what a Beautiful little family they are. I couldn't go wrong on the photos. I got so many good ones of them. They are just so photogenic! It is going to be hard to narrow them down.

So Gabriel is known for being a drooler...I had to get one of that.

Everyone need to have a footsie photo!

Awwwe!

I just loves these next to photo's. They just seem to capture that love that Dave and Vanessa have for their little one. While taking some photos aon the railroad tracks, Gabriel had tipped over backwards and hit his head. Oh we all felt so bad. Here is Dave and Vanessa trying to comfort him.

How precious is that?

Here's a photo that I was just having some fun with. Trying out some fun photo actions.

So I need some more practing...let me know if your interested.

Going Vintage

So I've been taking some online classes on photo editing. Oh it is going to be SO MUCH FUN! Last night I couldn't sleep. I just couldn't wait to go down on the computer to play. So here is a vintage looking one of Brinley. A little over the top.... but it is fun to play around.

The Bestest in the Westest

Brian and I often comment on how lucky we are to live in the neighborhood that we do. We truly have the BESTEST NEIGHBORHOOD and we are spoiled by all our great neighbors. Each year during the summer we try to get together and have a little neighborhood party and BBQ. Since we have 50+ kids just in our cul-da-sac and down our little street, we decided that it would be fun to rent a BIG blow up slide for the day.
The kids had a blast. Even though it was a little cloudy and drizzly outside...we put the garden hose on it and turned it into a water slide. It was a huge hit.

Even the little babies in the neighborhood would have a blast going down. Karson on the other hand was NOT thrilled at all with it. After much coaxing, I talked him into going down with me on my lap. So we climbed up...slid down and WHACK!!! he hit his head on my knee and that was the end of sliding for him.

It's always fun to just hang with great friends!

We always have yummy food at are BBQ

Karson and his ammo!

And for some reason we always end up with a water fight.

Ashlynn's friend Hailey looks like she is up to no good.

Since we usually do it around the July 4th weekend we end the night with fireworks in the culd-da-sac. Here is Karson with his friends Makenna (who insisted on sitting by him the whole night and was not happy if someone got between them. You could also see her leading Karson around while holding his hand through out the night...to cute! Karson is already whipped), Her little brother Macoy, and Karsons other little girlfriend Sydnee.

Brinley and her friends Kennadi, Madeline, and Hailey...enjoying the fireworks.

Ashlynn and her two friends Hailey and Megyn.

I am so glad we live in this neighborhood where our kids have made such good friends. We ARE BLESSED!
