I call them clovers {just a peek}

I did a photo shoot of William and Braylin in some clovers (weeds?).  Is it alright to say that I totally Love my own photos?  Cause I do, these at least, and I think I just said it.  Here’s a peek:

Lauri - I want to see more! I thought there were going to be more after the one of Braylin, and was sorely disappointed. By the way, I love it! And, I don’t know if I’m just stressed or something, but seeing how amazing the photo is and that you are so proud of it is making me cry! I’m feeling like the older sister right now…July 27, 2010 – 6:55 pm

Welcome Emery

My newest little niece was born recently.  Of course I had to get some pictures of her while she is still so little and sleepy.  Who knew that babies could be soo PRETTY!  Just look at that face!

These two below are from the hospital.  I missed her first day on earth, but this is her second.  I think that big sis is happy Emery is here:)

Seriously, this baby could be doing mascara commercials!  I want those eyelashes!

Smiles:)

Brother Jones & Maggie Mae

I know I have been missing for quite some time now.  The reasons are many and I will get into them in detail in a later post.  For right now I wanted to share a quick photo from Easter day.  My siblings and I, along with our significant others and many dog children, went to my moms for Easter this year.  Some might call it a crazy house with six dogs running around, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!  After dinner we took the dogs for a walk and I grabbed this great shot of my favorite brother and my new niece, Miss Maggie Mae.

Halloween for Thanksgiving

I think that if you’re keeping score, I may have missed a day or two of posting:)   Right now, I’m making my first ever homemade Apple Crumble pie from scratch.   While it’s baking I figured that since it’s Thanksgiving, it’s about time I posted these Halloween pics of my niece and nephew.  It can count as a Thanksgiving post because Braylin and William are definitely two of the people I am most thankful for.  Along with my family (that includes you Lucy, Murphy, Oden, Mugsy, and Loki) and my amazing friends, I also have extra to be thankful for this year as this is my first Thanksgiving as a married woman!  Thank you Timmey, for being such an amazingly supportive husband who always believes that I can do anything, even when I doubt myself, you never do. Oh, and I cannot forget that I had the most amazing wedding!  I am so thankful for that amazing trip and to everyone who was able to join us!  Okay, before I go on forever with all of my thankfulness, here are the cutest kids ever!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
