Another photo shoot with my kids

I am so happy I had yesterday off. I FINALLY got to go shooting with my friend Jennifer. I always have a ton of fun with her. She is a amazing photographer not to mention how crafty she is. She is constantly working on a new project for her gorgeous girls to wear. Yesterday, it was darling skirts. One of Jen's friends came with us and she has two of the cutest kids. I have to say... the best part of the day was that all of our kids took turns being whine and difficult. It made me realize I am not in this alone...other moms struggle with the same issues. Thanks for a great afternoon.

Family Pictures

So, today we went down town and took some pictures. It was a 4 hour adventure and as you can just imagine the kids were shot by the end. Mikala was not having it at all today. She was a pure Grumpy Gus. Oh well, I had a good time and that is all that matters RIGHT?

Happy Hallween

Halloween this year was a lot of fun. Mikala is old enough that she can enjoy the idea and the candy (of course). Budah was a lil Mexican and Mik was a pink bear. We went to my parents house and trick or treated on her street. Then we came home and Budah went out with Zach, Mike and Issac. He loves being with the boys and they are SO good to him. I took Mik around to a few houses and she loved it. My Mom and Dad came over for a late dinner. It was great to visit with them.Ella, Olivia, Mikala, Budah
