A couple more

A couple more from yesterdays lil' shoot before we run out the door to go celebrate with friends...

Tomorrow I will post my favorite images from 2010!
Happy New Year!

Christmas Light

Playing around with some white Christmas light bokeh today, with my willing little model, Miss Olivia (Bella was napping, and I'm sure had she not been, I'd have a few shots of her)...

I have more to go through...and its a setup I'm going to have to play around with with my other 3, as I'm loving the effect!

Shannon

My Shannon was in town for Christmas time, and is headed back to South Dakota....we will miss her so, so much!!

Goofing off...lol, Shannon can bring out the goof in anyone...

This is the whole 'she likes me, she really likes me' storyboard with Bella, lol...

We miss you already 'Shanna'!

Timberland boy

My little brother bought Ty some Timberland boots for Christmas (and they came with the lil' beanie)....and I thought that they just 'screamed' photo shoot!

An oldie

I am down with a miserable stomach bug (since the middle of last night), so my camera did not come out today!
I'm posting this picture, because no matter how I'm feeling, it makes me laugh when I look at it. Olivia said that Bella dumped the chocolate milk 'by herself'...I'm thinking she had a little help...

3 months old

My little man is 3 months old today!
He decided to tell me a story...

Apparently it was a very funny story...

Happy 3 months Ty!

Christmas

Merry Christmas! The girls were all up VERY early (Lexi was up at 3am)....and rearing to go! The day was cozy and comfortable...we all stayed in our comfy clothes, opened presents, laughed with family, and had a wonderful day!
Po' Bella conked out on the sofa around 5pm....so exhausted that she fell asleep sitting up...

...and I did lie her down on the sofa so she wouldn't wake up with a sore neck...

Oh, and Olivia got makeup and has been applying it all day, lol...

A very Merry Christmas to you ALL!

Christmas Eve

The children are nestled all snug in their beds....and nope, I wasn't getting a picture of that and risking waking them up!! Our tree is filling up...

...and these elves still have more to do, so I am off and running... **yawn**

All I want for Christmas

Gosh I love my sweet little guy!

Naughty

I think she's been naughty...

Ho Ho Ho

A friend of mine, who has a daycare in her home, arrainged to have Santa come for a visit on a firetruck. The girls and I headed over with a whole TON of excitement!
Here he comes...

The firemen cleared the way for him to get to the ladder...

...and down the ladder he came...

...and he leaned down and said hello to my 2 VERY excited little girls! (Lexi was in school)...

And he hoisted Bella up on his hip and carried her. Now mind you, when we went to see Santa at the mall a couple of weeks ago, Bella would not even go NEAR him...

And then, Santa came inside!
Olivia told Santa all of her Christmas wishes...

Bella assured Santa she was NOT a naughty girl...

Even my Ty guy told Santa what he wanted (probably to STOP getting poked by Bella, lOL)...

Jingle-Jingle

Olivia had her little Christmas party at dance class today! She refused to wear her tutu, and only her Christmas bear shirt, lol....oh well! Here's her little 'Jingle Jingle Jingle' dance they did....

Sweet

A rare sweet moment caught between these two sisters! Gosh I love these girls, and like my youngest 2 girls, they can usually be found in some sort of altercation between each other, lol!

Happy Birthday Taylor

We went to Taylor's princess party today! Taylor lives next door, and is Olivia's best friend! The girls wore their princess dresses...played lots of ring around the rosie...decorated princess pictures....played 'pin the princess on the window'...and had lots of cake and ice cream...

Happy Birthday to YOU, Taylor!

Cheeks

Tired little man.....and look at those squishy cheeks!

Tree

I don't think I shared these from a few weeks ago! Just some pictures of my girls decorating our tree....I used the star filter on my camera, and I think it made the lights a little out of control, lol...

Still smiling

My little man is sick. He's got an ear infection (his 2nd one and he's not even 3 months old) and he's got croup....yet, he still gives me smiles.

Love it

I love that anytime the girls are on top of him, Ty gives me this exasperated look...

Keira and Taylor

Love these girls....my friend (and neighbors) little ones, Keira and Taylor...

We tried so hard to get Taylor to not get all tiny eyed when she smiled, lol...it didn't work out...

Spunk

This is Makenzie...I just love this little bub, she reminds me so much of my Bella...feisty and FULL of spunk!

3 brothers

Last week I took some Christmas pictures of these 3 boys, Owen, Will, and Andrew. They are as sweet as can be...

LOL...this is Andrews 'cheese' face...instead of saying cheese, he kept saying 'candy'....
