John’s family (mom, sister and Kenny) came down for a short visit the beginning of this week. We went to Amish Acres in Nappanee, Indiana so the kids could take a “buggy ride”. They had a lot of fun and I got a few pictures from it.. It was such a bright day outside, and it felt just like Summer…
I am a little sad to see it go, but also so excited for all the amazing things that happen once the warm weather does turn itself off. I love the holidays, Halloween…Thanksgiving and Christmas - how amazing are they, you get to spend them with friends and family and there is always lots of good food. If you know me - you know, I love food. :) I’m not fond of the cold weather it brings though, my 3 years in Texas spoiled me I think. I am not a fan of the slush, the cold, the snow, or any of that stuff . I like the snow for about the first 5 minutes of the first snow and then I would be fine with it becoming Summer again…
Yesterday was my first taste of fall - Camden had to wear pants and a jacket! I am so glad I can capture this time in our lives, its so special to me to be able to go back and look at photos from each month since he was born and to see how much he has changed, and the memories that we have shared together. I kind of like this parenting thing!
Here are a couple photos of Camden - 13 months old now! I can’t wait till I get my studio set up so I can continue to shoot even if the weather isn’t cooperating …like we all know it will be soon!
and I know this one isn’t technical AT ALL…but I LOVE IT…I love that it captures a moment…he had looked over the swing and screamed “RAWRRRRR!”
<3
Remember how I said it was impossible to get CJ to actually look at me to take a photo? Yeah…well, once you get gummy bears involved its a whole new ballgame. I wonder how long this will work? It sure is nice having a smiling photo of my 3 year old!
So, Camden had his very 1st Birthday party last Saturday. We used the theme “Hungry Caterpillar” for multiple reasons, but the biggest would be is that Camden is my hungry caterpillar! If he isn’t nursing he is eating…seems like the boy can’t get enough sometimes! He is growing great and amazes me everyday. His party was mostly family and a few friends but it was busy and lots of fun. I take this party thing serious, I LOVE planning them out and coordinating all the details. We had Pancetta and Leek Pasta by the amazing Pioneer Woman, cold meat sandwiches, lots of fruit that matched the book, “Caterpillar Cups” and of course cake! I’m already starting to think about CJ’s 4th birthday in April!
…I love paper lanterns! and pom balls, but I didn’t get a chance to make any of them!
My amazingly sweet, won’t look at the camera for more then 1.3 seconds full of energy 3 year old keeps me busy most days…you combine that with a nearly walking, must be held 99.9% of the time 1 year old and you’ve got yourself a busy day! I took these photos on the 4th of July weekend and I’m glad I finally got a chance to blog them!
You can see he is “Mr. Personality” can’t you?
Here are a couple photos of Miss Nevaeh all dressed up celebrating her very first Independance Day! How cute is this little 3 month old??
Camden had his birthday party today…I have a lot of things to do tonight but will be back with more photos soon. Can’t you tell he had a …blast? :)
My baby boy is ONE! <3

and NOW….Camden 1 year old!
Happy 1st Birthday to my second baby boy! My oh my does time go by so fast! His party is Saturday, can’t wait for it!
Just a couple photos I forgot to blog from my sisters baby shower! I was only able to take a few pics, the rest of the time I was wrangling my 3 year old and 10 month old. It was fun, my sister had the beautiful baby girl below on April 16. :)
They are BY FAR my hardest subject, dont they know I just want to preserve their cuteness for a little longer?
