Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween to everyone. We had a great, very long day. Here are a few highlights.

in my opinion the cutest little vampire -ever!
one nerd, one banana, one army dude, and one vampire- how different are these boys?

baby "M" wanted nothing to do with the halloween celebrations. He had the cutest lion costume and this was as close as we got to wearing it. He ended up trick or treating in sweats. Yep, by kid number 5 you don't care.

Amazing High School Senior

This is one great High School Senior, she is really going places. Not is she beautiful and kind, she is also a great athlete. We have been trying to do this photo shoot since last May and our crazy schedules finally came together. Thanks H for sharing your afternoon with me. This is only a few from Saturday- look for more to come.










New Nephew- Baby T

Here are a few pics of my new little nephew. His big sister is still trying to decide if she likes him.
Baby T has the most amazing eyes. So cute!

couldn't decide color or black and white?




brother and sister love...

A little mom brag time..

Ok so I realized the other day that I need to update friends and family more frequently on what we are up to. It seems like just yesterday when the boys started another year of school- but it has been over two months. So here is part one of an update and a little bragging on my part- I will update on the other two boys when I get some more photos of them edited.

First one funny thing that J (our 8yr old) said. He was asked to say the prayer before dinner. Blaine was gone at a church appointment (this happens quite often as part of his calling as a LDS Bishop for our church) In the prayer J says "please bless dad ... (long pause) where ever he is."
So goes our life.

Brag time,
Baby "M" figured out where his tummy is this week. I know this might not be big. But when he is your last baby you want to take in and celebrate every first in their life. One of these days I hope to brag that he finally sleeps through the night, not yet-ugh

Big "N" is currently playing two different instruments in two different bands at the Jr. High. He even achieved being named first chair clarinet. However I only have pics of him playing his sax because that is the "cool" instrument. He also has a part in the school play, Romeo and Juliet.


Ok, now a little brag time for not only our 11 yr old, but a whole group of 11 yr olds. "T" plays for a club soccer team- Champions FC. These boys trained all summer and fall together and have had a great fall season. They play in the Premier division ( the top division in State play). Over the past two weeks they have played in the state tournament. This week, after winning all their prelim games, they won the quarter final game in overtime and sadly loss in the semi finals 3-1. They are such a great group of boys and have worked so hard to get that far in the tournament.
"T" plays goalie, and if the team is up by enough points he gets to come out and play in the field.
Way to go boys! #00 - he is a keeper!

a great HS senior

So on Friday afternoon I get a call from a photog friend of mine who says hey come do this senior shoot with me. So I said sure, yet thinking how am I going to squeeze it in with all my goings on that evening. Well I joined her for part of the shoot for about 45 minutes- I am so glad I did. Mr. S was an amazing cute boy that was so easy to take photos of. Plus it was fun to hang out and shoot with my friend, thanks Steph.

Baby turning into Boy

Yeah I got this storyboard to load- what do you think?

So my baby is growning up. Here are some recent pics of baby "M" I actually spent a half hour this morning putting together the cutest storyboard of "M" but when I upload to blogger it turns the storyboard to red- weird, can't figure it out. If it works later I will add it to this post.
