Where did I get this kid?

Our FHE activity tonight sort of fell through, so we ended up taking the kids to McDonald's to play and get an icecream cone.  Mike and I were watching the kids play on the playground, when all of a sudden, Bryant pops up in front of us and says, "Dad, Mom-- I want to change my name to Thunder."  What?  Where in the heck did that come from?  We got a good laugh.  Thunder.  It could work.

SNOW!

 My kids were extatic when the 1st snow fell.  They begged to go outside first thing in the morning.  Here they are having a great time with their best friends in the frozen tundra.

Warning-- I am turning into the crazy picture lady!

I have been too busy to post these shoots individually so it's going to happen in one big LONG post.  I think I am going to be the crazy picture lady who always has the camera in her face.  Oh, well.  I am loving it!

My baby is 2!

I'm sad today because my baby is two.  I can't believe his is already so grown up.  I sat on the couch this morning and cuddled him for about 20 minutes, which was almost a record for him-- have to hold on to the last few times he'll actually let me hold him.  

I feel bad for the poor kid, being the third child and all.  We had a combined birthday party for him a few weeks ago with his cousin, Gavin, who was turning 3, but that is pretty much it.  We only got him one present-- a $3 stuffed monkey.  Hopefully, next year we'll do better :) 

Doesn't he look cute in his conductor's hat.  He loves trains-- the only show he will watch is "Chuggington." He loved his train cake.  We tried to have him hold it for a picture, but he just started to take off all the tootsie rolls and eat them.  What a cutie!

The long awaited... Baby Capri

This is my newest little niece.  She is so cute!  I was able to take her 2 week old pictures a few days ago.

Keeping up with the Joneses

 I had the chance to shoot our friends, the Joneses.  It was a lot of fun because I was able to just have fun with them.  And it helps that they are SO photogenic.  I really didn't have to do anything to make them look good.  Here are a few pics from the shoot:
