{the boys: fall pics}

The boys are very much into "favorite colors" these days so everyone has on their favorite color shirts. Well, except baby bear.  We're not quite sure yet what his favorite color is, but he just thought his bowtie was pretty cool and didn't mind what shirt he was wearing.  :)

These two are best friends.  

All the brothers are good friends...but there's something extra between these two. :)

Now, before you go thinking that these pics were easy to get...I promise you I have about five times as many "blooper" pics than these pics! lol  Here is a sampling below of how this shoot *really* went...

During most of these you could hear me saying,

"Ok boys, look at Kiki!"

"Look at Kiki!"

"Hey! I'm over here sillies!!"

"Smile!"

"No, not that smile! Hahaha!"

"Oh brother lol." 

Like a friend recently commented on taking pics of her boys...it's a lot like herding cats! lol! But it's a lot of fun!

{emily: sr pics}

Somehow, this adorable, sweet, funny little girl has grown up in the blink of an eye and is a beautiful senior in highschool!  I am still in denial about this fact until I remember that if she goes to college next year where her sister is, she will be much closer to me and can come "home" to my house on any weekend she needs to get away...and then I'm more ok with her graduating.  :D 

A few weeks ago I got to do some photos of her up in the mountains and after the delay of a couple computer problems...here are a few sneak peeks.  :)

*my favorite* :) 

Love you, Em!  Can't wait to watch and see what God has in store for your life!  :)

I was so excited to live in little girl land for a week at camp that I let myself choose two girly fabrics and made matching little girl/doll sun dresses and of course had to grab a few pics.  :) 

Eskimo kiss!  >>mmwaa!<<

Oh my goodness.  This girl. Too precious! 

I miss you girlies!! Sophia...don't forget about our butterflies and what they taught us!!  ;)

{keira turns 1!} (surprise mommy!) :)

Yesterday, while my best friend was at work all day, I stole her youngest for a few minutes to do a birthday photo shoot as a surprise.  I'm not sure if it was an actual surprise since her other son and daughter knew what I was up to...  :}  The UT Gardens where we went, sadly had construction going on and had torn down several of my favorite spots so we had an abbreviated photo session, but it still turned out pretty cute I think...
