finally...

After many months of wiggling and wondering when it will happen, it finally did. At school. In music class. Kyler lost his first top tooth and has a perfect gap for the new one to come in. He has asked, "Do I look cool without my tooth?" Yes, Kyler. Absolutely.

luke, cole and jacob

Three boys....three adorably unique boys with great personalities! Luke showed me some of his toys, Cole played the guitar for me and Jacob explained some of the tricks in the Shrek videogame. I loved learning more about each of them. After awhile, I was able to talk them into coming outside (on a very sunny but cold day) to get some quick shots together. I had to be quick -- they were freezing and very relieved when I said we could go back in. Thanks for allowing me to come to your home. I had a great time!

cheeks

It is practically impossible to not smile when Grady is around. He has to have some of the biggest cheeks ever!

birthday fun

Oh the things you can get with tickets at a pizza parlor! Kyler wanted to spend his 7th birthday at Happy Joe's eating cheese pizza and winning as many tickets as possible. Kyler's ticket loot allowed him to buy some "awesome stuff" including these fancy masks.

Here I am (the proud mom) with my sons and their glasses they bought with their tickets. They both insisted on wearing these in the restaurant until they were too dizzy and started bumping into tables.
We came home with lots of "awesome stuff" like pirate hats, bouncy balls, a back scratcher, noise slime, new pencils and new erasers.
I think I need to invest in those ticket games...

valerie, samantha & josh

This family is just amazing. Josh is so lucky to have two fantastic big sisters and it is obvious that he adores them.

I just love Josh's dimples!


Samantha and her smile can charm anyone!


Valerie is so caring and like a little mom to her brother.


This was a very fast paced photo session, but the kids were troopers and did a great job and I loved seeing their smiles.

drew

Drew loves trains. And snowballs. And chocolate chip muffins. He's three and I think he's got his priorities straight! He was so much fun to photograph.

new bed

Kaeden, my three year old, asked Santa for a new "big boy bed" for Christmas. He was thrilled that Santa was able to fit it in his sleigh. He decided that Santa knows magic because how else would he get it to him? :) Kaeden now constantly reminds us that he is a big boy and loves to show off his bed.






Kyler, who is 6, was also excited for Kaeden and his new bed. Since they share a room, he probably thinks he has just gained another bed he can sneak a jump on!
