KELLER TURNS 6!

So my little guy Keller had a big week last week!  Not only did he turn six, but he lost his first tooth the day before his birthday and his very first tooth fairy visit was on his birthday!  He was super excited and the girls were more excited than he was.  But what an awesome day he had!

He woke up at 5:45a.m. (Yes, I said A.M.) and started scouring through the sheets and pillows to find his tooth fairy money.  He found and envelope with his name on it and $1.00 inside.  (By the way, the tooth fairy is starting to pay big money for teeth.  I might pull a few out myself.)  Then Sierra said to him, "hey buddy, can you hurry and open your presents before I go to Seminary?"  He looked at her and said, "huh"?    She said, "it's your birthday", he said, "I GET PRESENTS?" like, RIGHT NOW?  - we all started to laugh.  I don't know where he thought he was only getting presents from his party because he had been telling me for a month which LEGO's he wanted for his birthday!

And then the big party!

What I failed to mention is that I had been SICK for 2 days and on his birthday, I woke up and my throat was on fire, I had no voice and could not talk.  Thank goodness I had done most of the work earlier in the week.  So, here are a few of the pcitures from Keller's LEGO Birthday Party!  The beauty of having a bunch of little boys at your house?  If the party festivities end early, put out a box of LEGO's and they are as happy as they can be.  So we played Pin the head on the Lego Minifigure, took turns beating up the Lego City fireman pinata, and had a relay race with lego pieces, then it was time to have cupcakes and ice cream and open presents.  Then while we waited for everyone to be picked up, we played with Lego's and colored Lego pictures.  I think everyone had fun, especially Derren, because he got to be in charge of his very first birthday party ever.  I had no voice and didn't want to get everyone sick so I stood in the background and let him go.  I LOVE LETTING MY HUSBAND HAVE THESE LITTLE LIFE EXPERIENCES! He was great and was really tired afterward. hahaha!

So as I look at my Keller, my youngest of three, I was sad to see him so big!  As hard as this little guy has been, and HE HAS BEEN HARD!  I love the crazy madness he brings to our home and all the boy stuff that he does.  I remember like it was yesterday picking up my 5 lb. 18 inches long little guy at the Adoption Agency and holding him for the first time.  Now, he is huge and goes to school and I miss having his craziness with me during the day!  I LOVE YOU KELLER, you make me proud and you bring joy to our house!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!

FOUR times the FUN!

Brother, Sisters, Cousins, FRIENDS!!! That what these little people are.  Took these photos in Snowbird, Utah and I love these little faces and how happy they were to get their pictures taken!

 

  

So cute.......

So these sweet little girls are one of my very best friends daughters.  The oldest recently was baptized and we wanted to make sure and get some photos of her in her baptism dress.  We also wanted the sisters to have some photos together too, so here they are!  They were so adorable on that day and these photos really show how cute they are.  Little girls love to get their pictures taken and when they are eager to please, it makes my job so fun!  Meet my sweet little friends........

The Barber Family

So these little guys are 3 year old twins.  DOUBLE the FUN!  What I love most about these photos is that you see what happy, fun and energetic little boys they are.  These photos to me show just what it is like to take small children to get their picture taken, fun, fun and more fun.  You may not always get the quote "perfect photo" with everyone looking right at the camera, perfectly posed, but you will always capture the perfect moments.  These are real life photos of what its like to be a Mom and Dad out with their kids and everyone is along for the ride.  Thank you Barbers, these are just a few of the awesome photos we took.

Ainsley turns 1!

This is Ainsley and she just had her first birthday!  She was so good while we took these pictures and she played and smiled!  One of the easiest photo shoots I have done with a little one.  She is super happy and you can see what a sweetie she is in all of these photos!  One of my most favorite things to do is take pictures of little kids and get down and play with them and just let the camera tell the rest of the story!  AUNT JILL LOVES YOU AINSLEY!!! (Yes, she is my niece)

The Fisher Family

Look at these beautiful babies.  Just in case you thought your hands were full, think again, these kids are 3, 2 and 1 years old.  Do you think that their MOM is busy?  Well I decided to post them in the "Black & White Series" just for a change, but the color photos are just as wonderful as these are. Thanks to Ann and her beautiful family for letting me come take pictures and spend some time with them.

Sneak Peak at the Chamberlain Family

All of my clients in Utah have been patiently waiting for their photos and the Chamberlain Family is one family that is excited to get a preview!  Wait till you see some of the family fun photos I got to take with them at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

So many more to come..........enjoy!

The B Family

Meet the Bingham Family!  The Dad, or "LEADER" of this handsome group is a good friend of mine from growing up. While I was in Utah this summer I got the chance to go to Snowbird Resort with them and take these photos and they are really awesome.  They brought Jack the family dog along and he got to participate in the family photo session as well.  Look at these handsome boys and their Mom is stunning.  Super fun to work with them.
