Party Pictures (picture heavy)

This wasn't one of my kids' birthday parties. Our next one isn't until December. Nice to have a break between them all. Too bad I get slammed with 4 of them in three months LOL. Anyway. Yesterday we had a birthday party for our great nephews. It seems so weird for me to have great nephews. So totally weird. I'm only 27 ya know. Weird I tell ya. There was tons of people there. So I had to get a picture of all of them. These are all people in some way related to us. Paul has a really big family. Very nice and blended and fantasticly fun.


The kids had a blast with the Pinata. It was so fun to see all the kids have a wack at it. Jaydon was so happy and giddy I had to capture that for his mom and dad. So fun. And of course my kids had a turn at it too except Ayden. He didn't until everyone was away and all the candy was out I didn't trust him with the bat and tons of kid around LOL.


Paul and his brother having themselves a beer. OF course I took a picture. Paul rarely drinks. So we had to document this in some way. And of course he would have this horrible look on his face like WHY are you doing this to me.

Some people at the party just chillin out and talking. The two on the outside are actually live right next door to us. And its Becca's brother too. We didn't even realize that when we moved in here. Which is so good for our kids. They all get along and have been around each other in some way shape or form at some time. Such fun.

And I leave you with Ayden playing with some trucks. He loves people but doesn't really like to play with them much. He's protective of his toys. That might have something to do with the brother that steals them all the time LOL.Hope everyone has a fantastic night. Enjoy the pics. Go out take some of your own and share with me. I'd love to see them.

A few of Hubby and me

You have no idea how long i've been asking Paul for a picture of me. One that makes me look good and not stupid face i'm making at the time. So here is what I got from him today.

So the first one he cut part of me off but I still like it. Pretty neat huh. And he says he can't take decent pictures. Of course I did edit a bit but still its pretty good for a guy who hates my camera.


Second we have a pretty good one. I'm not one for smiling so these is about the best smile I get without one of my kids in there with me or being told something funny or being tickled. I'm so dang ticklish its not even funny sometimes. You should see my senior pictures lol. Tried so hard to smile and so didn't work. I bet if my boyfriend at the time was there I'd be happier but he wasn't anyway nother story all together LOL.


And I always make sure to get at least one picture of Paul at every function. I did get a few more shots of him and his brother drinking but I thought I would leave that for him to do what he wants too or blackmail later. He rarely ever drinks and esp not at family functions. So I think I did pretty good. Could have done better in his eyes but it was cloudy and gloomy and windy and cold. So I wasn't about to have anyone hold a reflector up and this really just is a snapshot anyway so doesn't matter too much. He likes it I like it we like it all that matters lol.

And now I'm gonna go through the like 127 other pictures I took today. Yes I'm the family photographer. They get used to me quick. The guys next door do too. He even waved at me at the party when i took his picture lol. But I won't be showing them as I don't know if he would be mad at me if I did or not so we don't do. Anyway. Hope everyone has a fantastic night. Good Night and sweet dreams to all.

Lizzy 1 Month Old

Well I'm a little off on this one. So she turned 1 month two days ago. At least it's not like almost 2 months before I finally get these taken. She was a little cold and didn't really feel like having her picture taken. But I'm ok with that. My settings were a little off. All of these were taken with my 50mm f/1.8 at f/1.8 and ISO 200 other than that I'm not sure what the stuff was. I'm doing good to remember that. I know I could look it up but I don't feel like it right now. But if you ask I will look it up for ya.

So without further ado.... Lizzybeth as my mom and her oldest brother calls her.






This one right here is my most favorite of all the pictures. I might make it into a canvas not sure yet though.





And of course what photo shoot of babies is complete without feet pictures. Yes I've that that feet thing. She's got such long feet and toes that I just have to document it. They are totally cute. I love how the lense blurred her in the back too looks neat to me.


Have a fantastic day. I'll be back tomorrow with some pictures of the other kids or so I hope. We have a birthday party to go too for our great nephews. We have three of them and we are only 27 and 28 LOL. Maybe I'll make DH pose for us too. Thanks for all the great comments on here. Love seeing them.

Gramps & Lizzy

My gramps didn't wanna hold Lizzy in the hospital when she was born. She was sleeping and still so small. he was afraid of breaking her I think. So when we went over there this week I made sure he held her. It wasn't for long just about as long as it took me to take a picture or two. Then she fussed and I took her back. She wanted food and cuddled. I really like this picture of the two of them. It will definatly be printed and given to gramps in a sweet little frame.

Cutie Maddie

I know I said I would post more pictures of the other kids but I was so in love with this picture of her. She is so so cute. She was sitting beside me at the table in her little bebe pod. I love that thing but she doesn't like it too much. We were sitting here listening to music and she was just all giggly and smiling at me. Love this shot of her.

I promise I have more kids

So i'm gonna show my boys off today. First up we have Ayden. He's about the happiest baby in the world I swear. He will go to anyone to that wants to pick him up. Including all the nurses that deal with him during his surgeries. If he only realized what they were about to do I don't think he wouldn't go back with them anymore. Hopefully his surgery coming next month will be his very last surgery. I'm so hopeful for this. They say that 95% of the time it works and they never have another surgery. We can all pray and send thoughts up that this will be his last surgery.


Now we have my boy Tristan. He's not feeling too good today. He got knocked in the head with a shoe... thanks Daddy. Granted Daddy was playing but still. A shoe... Daddy bad. He's got a little cut on his head but all and all just fine. He just has a little fever today. So anyway here is my oldest boy Tristan. He's such a cutie. And has amazing eyes when he gives eye contact which is rare very rare.

And the winner is....

so I asked you all to vote and you did. I'm so glad you did. and winning by a landslide was picture number 2. That's fantastic. I really love the picture too. I decided to make the print a gallery wrap. This will be my first gallery wrap so anyone has any suggestions where to get it I'm up for any.

SO I'm gonna leave you with some pictures of LIzzy today. I know I said I would show more of the other kids I do promise too. I just have to process a few of them. Hope everyone has a fantastic day.
