Finished

I am finally finished with this adorable Family shoot. I'm probably giving too many previews, but they are such a good looking family with such cute kids.

Loose Tooth Braiden

Travis discovered Braiden's tooth was loose Sunday morning. I really didn't think I would be able to have anything to do with it, but guess who got it out? We have been trying to get Braiden to let us take it out all week since his other tooth was already coming in behind it. Yesterday Braiden said he wanted to to the "door thing" and get it out. So we did it. We tried about 3 or 4 times and the string kept coming off. The last time we tried I pulled down with my hand so it wouldn't come off. It didn't pull his tooth out, but there was some blood so I knew we were close. I didn't want Braiden to see the blood or I knew he would freak out. He kind of did anyway. Check it out...



This picture is from the night before. Travis tried for about 15 minutes to get it out, but Braiden wasn't having it. He really wanted to get it out and would sometimes show excitement, but then he would chicken out.


Checking out the tooth...




I love this next one. If you click on it and make it bigger you can see the tear on his face and the slobber hanging from his mouth. You can also see the permanent tooth.


This morning after the Tooth Fairy came...

We love this kid. He talks a lot, which is a major understatement. He does say some pretty funny things though. The other day I was trying to get him to get in the shower. He complains everyday and he says he hates to shower. Then he spends at least 20-30 minutes in the shower. I gave him a time limit with consequences. He barely made it and of course I had to keep telling him to hurry. He walked in just in time as he was finishing getting dressed and called me "stupid." I'm not sure exactly why because I immediately stopped him from talking and told him that he is not allowed to talk to me that way. I told him that if he ever calls me stupid again he is going to be one sad kid. The next words out of his mouth were "Mom, please don't call me a kid cause I'm not a baby goat!"

Previews of more to come...

I know I've slowed down on my posting a bit. I am editing a photo shoot, our vacation pics and soccer pictures right now.

Here is a cute little family I took pictures of earlier this week. How cute are they! The kids were really good and lasted through two locations and about an hour and a half. We didn't get too many smiles out of the little one, but with a face like that you don't need to be smiling to be cute.

Here are a few pictures from our vacation. (Yes it was almost 3 weeks ago. I know very sad I'm just getting to them.) Here is a picture of my cute little sis and her husband, us and the boat docks at The Coeur d'Alene.

Soccer Pictures

Here are the pictures for the boys soccer team this year. Now on to the action shots for the slideshow. I'm really not looking forward to going through all of them. There are hundreds!!





Here is a picture of the seniors this year.

A Few More

I know I already posted this cute girl, but I finished her pictures last week and thought I would post a few more of my favorites.



She was not too sure about her cake at first. Whenever we told her to put it in her mouth, she did just like this...


She decided she did like the cake, but she had more fun feeling it with her fingers than she did eating it. She had the whole cake in pieces by the time she was done with it and she didn't end up eating that much.


I love this picture. I love the way she is sitting. I think I like it even more with the texture. Let me know if you want this one? It isn't on the CD I gave you.

Soccer Pictures

I'm going to take pictures for the OHS boys soccer team tomorrow. Here are some examples to see before placing your orders.

Emilee

I just got back today from a weekend away with Travis (pictures coming soon). I decided to leave my computer home since I spend way too much time on it some days!! It was a good break away from the kids and the computer.

I wanted to get to these before I left, but I didn't make it. I gave them a jump start tonight and thought I better get a preview posted. Emilee gave us some great smiles at the very beginning, but then I think she decided it wasn't all that fun. Grandma came about 10 mins after we started and she wanted her instead. It was kind of cute, she and Brooklynn were fighting over my mom, both very jealous when the other was being held.







I'm glad I got this one! She only lasted in this little tutu for about 15 pictures, maybe 2-4 minutes. She had the wings on, but those didn't last for more than a minute.

Hunter

Here the big brother of little Harrison. He was much easier to get to smile, but he didn't want to stick around long. He thought playing with his cousin would be much more fun. Crazy huh?

Harrison

Here is one of my nephews from the other day. We had a really hard time trying to get him to smile for the camera! We did get some cute ones though. Hopefully these will work for you Kris. Let me know what you think.







(Same as above with texture)

More Pictures to come...

I did three mini photo shoots yesterday. I took pictures of two of my nephews and one of my nieces. Hopefully there will be pictures to share by the end of the week.

Here are a couple of my kids. I was just using Braiden to test my lighting and thought this turned out kinda cute.


Brooklynn was getting jealous of all the pictures I was taking of everyone else so she had to have her turn. This is her dog that she has been somewhat attached to since she was about 9 months old. (Mostly at bedtime so we don't have to take him everywhere with us, although he does make it out of the house every once in awhile.)
Like mother like daughter. I was attached to a couple different bunnies. I used to rub their ears on my nose, just like Brooklynn is doing in this picture. I love it that she's just like me. Hopefully she doesn't pick up the bad qualities, only the good.
