New Baby Announcements

Thought I would play around with some brushes I found. I will be putting these templates up for sale shortly. Thanks Rayna (Ray of Light Photography) for the beautiful photos!

Under The Sea Party

Alden's birthday was a great success. The decorations were soooo cute! The kids had a blast climbing on the inflatable alligator and tons of food! Unfortunately, at the end of the day we had to say goodbye to Trace. He leaves for his next assigment in the morning. Darn Air Force life!!! We all look forward to meeting up again in Hawaii this winter!

Today's Bribe?

McDonalds! I could not pass up this beautiful day to get some shots. Yes, they have to be bribed. All of a sudden as soon as Mom wanted them to pose, they did not want to get dirty or did not want to sit on a pinecone or the ground was too hard....I heard every excuse. Had I not wanted to take pictures, they would have been all over that place...throwing pinecones, rolling on the ground and getting themselves as dirty as they possibly could. Would someone loan me their kids for some practice?

Some Cute Friends...

I spent a couple hours Sunday with these cuties! They are good friends from a previous base and had not seen each other since they were three and are not just living one state apart. They were so cute and a lot of fun to photograph...

and one MORE!

Another....

A Little Creativity

We are getting snow. I am tired of being inside. The grass is starting to turn green and I want so badly to get out and and do some photos! Alas, I am stuck in here, in front of the computer, so I decided to put some creative energy to work. The first is a simple storyboard I made and just sent to have printed on 5x10 with styrene back. The second is the birthday invited I did for Dannie's daughter's birthday. I may use today and tomorrow to work on some more card templates for the site.

Still Practicing...

It was another cold blustery day on the South Dakota plains. I swear this is when winter decides to start rearing its ugly head around here. I think it was warmer on Christmas around here. Nevertheless, the boys and I got out with our bestest of best friends for brunch, then came home for an easter egg hunt and of course a few pictures. As usual, A and S acted like clowns in front of the girls but I still managed to get a couple good ones. I need to get some of these added to the new site and I will be just about ready to make it live....nervous though!

A few shots

So we finally had a pefect day for some shots...lightly overcast, about 5o degrees and a light breeze...not the usual South Dakota 55mph gusts! I had to take the boys swimming in return for posing. S quite likes the modeling..the other two not so much. Jackson just wanted to find his ball after the long long winter!
