We haven’t sent out a card since some time in the winter of 06-09. I can’t even remember when it’s been so long. So I had an idea and asked the boys how they felt about retro shorts and such. Kaleb asks you mean like speedos? No, not what I meant, but great idea. And...
I know he turned 7 in November. Well it’s been a crazy few months and I’m finally getting around to blogging it. I have so much fun with his birthday. Each year we do a wild game feed along with cake and ice cream and we surround ourselves with family and friends. I love to...
We have been getting a lot of the cool white stuff around these parts. Thought I’d share some of the family fun in the snow and snowed in. CA I woke up early on the 25th and managed to get a picture of our street before the plows came through and dirtied it up. I...
Ayden is now officially a first grader. Today is his first day of school and here are some images as we saw him off. CA Andy and I with Ayden. Before we left the house. Waiting in line to go in. One last look before heading off to class.
A quick photo shoot on Tuesday yielded these images of all my boys finally together and not protesting images. Matching and nice clothes not needed… just some good old family time, no tv just cards and marbles to pass the time. It was a good vaca. CA Kaleb flinching as Guinness storms by. Guinness playing...
Yesterday when I came home from my session Ayden proceeded to ask me no less than five times if he could sleep outside last night. I told him yes the first time, but I guess it didn’t register. He had it all ready. So here is my little cutie sleeping on the front porch, not...
really do you need to use me to test the light, can’t you just use the model. Ok I’m going to sit here, but I’m going to do my best to look extra bored… Yes this is probably what is going through Ayden’s head when I make him sit still for pictures. It’s a tough...
After an hour of practice with the SDSU soccer girls Ayden came off the field and proclaimed that, “Soccer is Awesome!” I confirmed that yes it is. I actually missed enrolling him last year and he pretty much begged or was it bugged me to get him signed up this year. Well it was a...
Guinness will be a year old next month and it’s been a while since you have seen him on here. Here he is looking handsome today.CA The first time you all got to see him only about a week or two old About 5 weeks old About 7 weeks old, the day we brought him...
Every once in a while I glance and Ayden and can’t believe how big he is. I like my lovable little boy and even though he tells me he will still love me and give me hugs and kisses when he’s big I just don’t think it will be the same. Here he is looking...
In the chaos of my life I never got to put up any images from the Michelle Turner Seminar that I hosted this summer. Michelle is a natural teacher. She has energy, humor and knowledge. I think everyone learned a lot during the seminar and it was a pleasure to get to know Michelle better....
what my wonderful husband gave me… That was way too easy. He got me this lovely pearl necklace from Tiffany and Co. Pearls are timeless and classic and go with just about anything. Every girl should have some in her wardrobe. Finally I do and of course I love the choice in jeweler. Tiffany’s is...
I was on my way home from travel on the day President Obama took office. My plane was delayed and instead of being in the air at the noon hour I was on the ground, across from my terminal watching it on the tele. As I was standing there a crowd started to grow. You...
Ok we are skipping ahead to Nov. So I can get you all caught up on my fab little family. Nov. 14th is Ayden’s birthday so much to the dismay of his teacher I surprised him and pulled him out of school for a day with mom. We headed to Sioux Falls were we had...
Andy started this little tradition. It’s called Ridiculous Hamburger Night. It happens once or twice a year for a few years now. And yes it’s Ridiculous. The meat will not be allowed on the grill unless someone deems it Ridiculous, and then you must consume it all before you leave. Here is Laura’s submission this...
I haven’t been for years and was so happy that we got to go as a family this year. A little from our road trip, Guinness even got to attend. He was the hit. I think at least 50 people stopped and asked us what kind of dog he was, how nice he was, etc....
We are going to backtrack a bit as I need to share some images of my fam as they get neglected during wedding season. These are images from Ayden’s first day of Kindergarten. He was excited to go and I thought it would be fun to document the whole thing. I put a nice long...
Today is Ayden’s birthday. He’s sleeping and when he wakes up in 6 hours I’m going to smother him with kisses. Well after he wakes me up telling me it’s his birthday. He doesn’t know it but I’m going to get him out of school early and we are going to go to Sioux Falls...
