Baby Rachel

It's been a little while. I've been a little lazy and didn't even take any pictures of my own kids for at least a week.
We have some friends in from Texas and we were able to attend this cute little one's baby blessing today. I also took some pictures of her last week that will be coming soon, maybe even a personal post.

The Cake

I already posted Kendall's One Year pictures, but we didn't have time to do a cake that day. We finally did it at about 13 months. Now a few weeks later, here they are. I wasn't too sure about doing them on the grass, but I really like how they turned out. He really didn't eat that much, but really made a mess of the cake in the end.

Dinner on the Lake

I have been listening to other mom's talking about how excited they are for summer and have been planning fun things for their kids to do. Since Braiden only went to school two days a week and for a few hours, it doesn't seem like summer is a big of a break for us. The weather hasn't been super hot so it doesn't feel much like summer either.
On Tuesday we decided last minute to take the boat out for a test drive and make sure it was ready to go for the year. We took off about 6pm, grabbed some Subways and headed up to Deer Creek. I will admit that after taking the boat out for the first time, I am now really looking forward to summer. I just hope it warms up a little more.





Gotta love the sweatshirt over the jacket. He looks ready for football.


Braiden has a hard time holding still enough to take a picture, so this one turned out pretty good for him.





We let the kids have their cookies while we were drying off the boat. Braiden wouldn't smile without the cookie in his mouth, although that's not much of a smile.




They were both a little hesitant the first time out, but I'm sure it won't be long before they are back in the swing of things. Braiden didn't want to put his feet in the water off the back of the boat, but decided when we were about ready to leave that he wanted to go down and feel the water. Brooklynn was really hesitant about putting her feet in. I think because of the waves coming in. They probably seemed pretty big to her.

Harrison

I do a little mini photo shoot of Harrison every month. These were taken on Mother's day so he's probably due for some more. I normally don't have much luck getting him to smile, but he was all smiles this time. I don't think I spent more than 15 minutes taking his picture this time.





Kris, this next one is my favorite. Let me know if you would rather have another one.






Ok, I hope I don't offend anyone with this next picture, but I had to post it because I think it's a little funny I even got it. I didn't even know I got it until after I went through the pictures on my camera. I took a bunch of pictures super fast and while I did he put his hand up and grabbed his collar and this happened to be one of the pictures in the bunch. (No photoshop involved!)


I had to do a double take when I first saw it. Still makes me laugh that I got it.

Kendall - One Year

I did this photo shoot 3 weeks ago and finished them up today. I'm pretty happy with them even though I was dealing with the sun right around noon. This kid is so smiley, but wasn't that day and he really wanted to play with all the rocks. We didn't have time to do birthday cake pictures and finally did them this last Saturday, so they will be coming soon.















He was ready to be done, but we still got a few more after this one...
