Fall Decorations

As we started to take down our fall stuff and put up out Christmas stuff I realized that I had never taken pictures of my fall stuff. I am a little sad that I didn't take pictures of our Halloween decorations but this will do. My grandma gave me a ton of decorations from her house and I have loved adding them to my things!

I love our pictures!

I loved how the 4 of us look in this picture. I do have to say that I cropped it and took my dad out of it - so if you see the flaws please know that our wonderful photographer did not do this work! She's much better!!! lol

Family Pictures 2011

Our family had pictures taken a few weekends ago. Cole was a total toot through the pictures and came out of his shell at the very end. The first 3 pictures are his happy moments! By this time - Claire was in a bad mood...so much for 2 kids being happy at one time. But we did get some good ones.

My parents have been married for 26 years and are still so in love!!

I think this is my favorite one of my family!

This one cracks me up!

This one says SOOOO much of how our morning started out!

A swimming party in November

Claire was invited to her sweet friend Maci's birthday party. They had it at an indoor water play park. It was wonderful and Claire had so much fun swimming with her friend. We did have a minor injury but after 5 minutes and a little first aid by a lifeguard she was back running around!

Sneak Peek...

So this Saturday my family took family pictures. This is the first time all 8 of us have had our pictures taken together professionally since my wedding! We have taken family pictures for my parent's Christmas card but even that was 2 1/2 years ago. We used a new photographer named Brittney and we loved her! She was super laid back, and it didn't freak her out that Cole was in a HORRIBLE mood!!! I mean HORRIBLE! I have never ever seen him like this. We really think that he was very tired and it didn't help that it was during his nap time. So, hopefully next time we use her he will be his adorable and happy self. Here is the picture she put up on her facebook yesterday. You can click HERE to see her site.

3 Generations. My hand, Claire, and my mom's hand. I think this picture is beautiful!
