Photos taken for my sisters family!

This session was for my sister Jenny and her family. Here are a few of my favorites taken! We had a half hour session with only the girls since the boys were late... so we didn't get to start till around 8:00 and we lost light fast... may have to do reshoot!

The whole clan!

and just for fun! 3200 ISO.... no flash... so not the greatest photo... but the only available light was from the moon and a streelight a ways back behind me

More of the Family - Part 2

I am so far behind! I don't know where time goes sometimes! It is Friday which mean Easter is right around the corner... good thing I got my Easter stuff done a couple of days ago otherwise I probably wouldn't have been done in time! LOL!

So I got my new Nikon D90 in the mail today! I am excited to try it out. It will have to wait till Easter though... can you believe I am too busy for my new camera... I shouldn't even be blogging right now... but oh well. So I did some test shots and I love it because it has a built in video camera which means I can share the cuteness of my kids from my camera. The first thing I did was take it out of the box and try it out. I got Ryan dancing in his underwear... yes it is 20 seconds of pure delite! :D

I will share that at a later time but for now here is some more of our family outing.

Jen's family - Baby was not happy... he was hungry


Jenny and Ron... So cute!

Too Precious for Words! BABY KADEN HAS ARRIVED

Sorry for the lack of comments! I am extremely extremely busy. I have been working long hours on business stuff with two extra kids this week. My sister had her baby and on top of that my other pregnant sister is having her baby shower this week.... which I am hosting! So please forgive me! I will be back soon to find out how everyone else is doing.

So with that said... check out this adorable baby boy. He is the newest addtion to our family. He is splitting image of his proud daddy and he is going to be a busy baby boy like his brothers. He does not like to be moved, kissed or touched... and if you stop rocking him he gets mad! I love every ounce of him! :D

This picture cracks me up cause my sister was laying in her hospital bed texting family about baby Kaden...
 What a new world we live in where phone conversations have become non existent... and I am guilty of it too!

Families Rock!!!

My sister is having her baby tomorrow! So excited! Oh I just can't wait to meet you baby Kaden! So Sunday we finally got the adorable family together for one last photo before baby brother comes. (LOL! This was an impossible shot...) After some clipping and pasting of some heads and eyes... here is the final... I should show you the before photo... but seriously that would be embarrassing! :D But .... maybe I will if you can guess whose head isn't real!

Oh and guess what there names are too! Okay from oldest to youngest. Here we go...

Treighton, Clayton, Katelyn, Jaden, Kaden ... and Kylie (her's doesn't rhyme... BUT her middle name is Jaydon also!) So during this photoshoot. I managed to call everyone by the wrong name! But the parents had to do rhyming names didn't they!

He is Risen! Easter Sunday

In the morning the kids opened up their Easter baskets and then during breakfast we told them the story about Jesus and how he was crucified and then resurrected. I want my kids to know that Easter isn't about candy and eggs but about Jesus. It was too adorable because they kept interrupting me trying to finish the story for me... :D

We went to my mom's house to celebrate Easter this year. As we walked up to my mom's house this is the sign that we saw! My little sister Courtnee wrote this sign for us! She is so funny! One day she will laugh over this!

And for dinner.... The classic Caesar Salad, Homemade Dinner rolls

Green bean casserole... and taco lasagna!

And the biggest hit of the meal was the homemade Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo! Great job mom!

We had an Easter Egg Dyeing contest for all the kids...

Here is Katelyn making a Hannah Montana Egg!

Here is a picture of some of the beautiful eggs that the kids colored. (You can see my reflection in the pink egg!)

This egg is taking a long..... long bath...

The kids won prizes for the eggs that they colored and some of the boys picked out water guns! So of course part of our day ended up in a water fight! I had to keep warning the boys that I am the photographer and my camera is not water proof!

Here in this picture you can see the water coming straight at my camera.... Arrrgh... boys!

Jacob took time to show us his first tooth that he lost (Okay I lied... he didn't lose it, he had to have it pulled because he hit his front tooth and it died and the dentist said it needed to be pulled) He was so brave... he didn't cry or get scared when they gave him that shot in his mouth... and he proudly showed off the $2.00 he received under his pillow in exchange for his first tooth!

Clayton took time to dress up like a girl.... Yikes... I wonder about him!

This is where our Easter Bunny lives!

The men (of course) sat around the living room watching golf. I guess the Master's was on... and my husband's eyes were glued to the screen. It was amazing because during the commercials Ron found time to take a 3 minute cat nap!

Kylie in her pretty Easter dress eating dirty garbage off the road.... Such a tomboy!

And here is Madison in her pretty Easter Dress! My favorite photo of her for the day! Look at those baby blues... I wish her hair wasn't blowing around!



Madison getting ready to eat sidewalk chalk... I deleted the pictures of her actually eating the chalk... pretty gross!

And last but not least the traditional egg hunt! We sent the boys packing to the park with a tote full of eggs and they did a fantastic job hiding them in the grass! Look at him "Hiding" the eggs :D

Go Clayton go!

Courtnee was complaining to me that her knee hurt from running...

Here is little Katelyn taking time to smile

Jenny and Kylie!

Here is Josh helping Madison collect eggs.... Ohhh Father / Daughter moment! Those are the best.

This is after the egg hung when I was exhausted trying to chase kids around to get pictures of them... Man kids are fast. I don't know what I was doing... bored I guess but I thought the picture was neat!

All the parents are exhausted... watching kids have fun gets a little tiring....

And again... Clayton dressing up... at least there isn't glitter on those glasses!



BTW: This is "officially" my longest picture blog ever! Wow how exciting... I think this blog took me over an hour to post.... Wow I am sure I could have found much more productive things to do then post a blog... but this was more fun...
