Catching up from the holidays...

OK, so I was real bad about blogging at the end of the year, so I thought I'd do a quick catch up and show you some of what I was doing over the holiday season...Sorry for my tardiness and I promise to pick back up and keep you updated!

Happy Halloween

I wanted to share a few images of my little guys...Frankenstein, a Saints Football player and my little skeleton.  We had so much fun with them...trick-or-treating was a blast!

We welcome Miles to our family...

One week ago today, I gave birth to our 3rd baby boy, Miles Patrick.  He was born at 9:41am on September 7th.  He weighed 6 pounds 9.9 ounces and was 19 3/4 inches long.  We are both doing great and our boys couldn't love him more!  Thank you to all my clients, friends and family who have sent well wishes and prayers.  Of course, I've taken pictures of him, and plan on LOTS more..but here's his debut:

Big man Jack

I had to share, my big man, Jack learned to ride his bike without training wheels this past weekend and I'm so proud of him!  I loved the look on his face when I showed up to see what him and daddy had been working on that morning(they went to Millard North Parking Lot)  He was beaming, which probably distracted him a little, but it was worth it.  He was so proud of himself...and I am too!

Soccer Boys

I wanted to share a few personal images with you as I am a mom when I'm not a photographer!  Both of my boys are now playing soccer through the YMCA and they are really enjoying it!  Jack was able to score a goal in their second game.  Here are a few from their first games: 

Finally I wanted to share a few from this past weekend...I only was able to go to Leo's game, but I'm so proud he scored his first goal.  The picture doesn't do justice since I wasn't ready, but if you can see the smile on his face as he runs away from the goal...it's priceless!

The Family!

I tweeted about this last weekend, but this past weekend I took off (for sanity) and instead of not doing anything picture-wise, I decided that since we were going down to Lincoln and would be seeing our family( my in-laws) that I would put together a family picture.  Luckily my husband's family is a go-with-the-flow type of family.  We went shopping Saturday afternoon about two hours before pictures, got all the kids outfits and pulled it together!  This is always a stressful one for me, not because the parents aka my sibling-in-laws expect miracles, but because there are 12 kids who know me and don't really seem too interested when I act like a dork to make them smile, it's normal apparently and thus not so funny.  On top of that, the group picture of all of us entails me setting up my tripod and trying to get everyone at least looking in the direction of the camera when the timer goes off...well, I feel it was successful (though I can show you since it will most likely be the Christmas card!) and to top that, it's the beginning of October!!!!  Yay!

In Memory of Champ

This is a hard blog for me to post but I want to send out a request for prayers...this time for Champs family. They lost him this weekend and are now trying to cope with this HUGE loss and could really use your prayers. He was a wonderful husband, father and Papa. I had a post about him back in the fall of '07(if you have been reading this that long) asking for prayers and wanted to repost a few pictures of him and his family in his memory. His daughter is one of my closest friends and his grandaughter I'm sure you've seen all over my blog and website(even my studio if you've been in!). Champ will be missed and his loss will be hard on all who knew him. I just pray that he is in heaven now and can be a guardian angel to his family.

Happy Easter

I had to post a few pics from this weekend. We had a great weekend though it was egg hunt-filled.....I think we did 4 in all, so lots of candy here! We even dyed eggs this year, they turned out pretty cute!

My family!
