Baby fixins

  

Meet Adelynn. My baby wouldn't go near her. My middle child wouldn't touch her but wanted to see. And my oldest was hogging her from me. Gotta love a baby. I am not at the stage where I want to hold and give it back. . . but I have realized that I can't picture myself changing diapers and baby proofing my life. I like my kids stages. . . obnoxious and crazy as it may be. 

 And my first newborn shoot. . . .

car show that began well. . . .

 This car says it was one from Price is Right in 1974! I took pictures to convince my husband to buy it for me. . . in a sarcastic but if you say yes kind of way. And then we found Grandpa and his new "girlfriend" that he entered in the car show. That is about when my son fell apart, demanding to find Bumble Bee. So we made our way down the street, voting slips in hand for best cars. Bumble Bee is found! Hallelujah! I am saved from a disaster. . . so I thought. Then we pass a truck full of Hot Wheels for a low price of $20. Collectible items, that my son just happened to find one that he wanted. Of course. And that is when he started screaming . . . .. And when the pictures stopped happening and I started fleeing. Sometimes kids make you feel like it isn't even worth trying to leave the house. But I still do it anyways hoping to make a fun childhood. . . . Fun being the keyword I guess.

my first photo shooting

We have these friends that we have known for a long time now and they are expecting their first child. She asked if I would be willing to take their maternity photos and I took a leap of faith that I had the skills and knowledge to take them and that I would meet their expectations. It is a lot of pressure! But I think they turned out awesome!What do you think?

my ELEVEN year old- gasp-

I can't believe my very eyes, but this little girl is growing up. She is very much into art supplies, lizards and overalls. So I think we nailed it in gifts this year. And really we couldn't go wrong when she typed a list and addressed them to every family member. For her actual birthday we went to dinner at Applebees. And then she had a friend part, an art party, may I add. And then the tradition of birthdays at Gma and Gpa's house.
