He hits the Slopes

I decided to buy a season pass to Sundance this year and we signed Braiden up for ski lessons through his school. Today was his first lesson and a few hours of freedom for me. Braiden was excited about snow skiing this year. After water skiing this summer he thinks he can do anything. I found some beat up rentals for sale and decided to get him his own skis. Looks like we are going to get our money's worth.



He was so excited to be there and was being really silly. He laid down and started making a snow angel while he was waiting for his teacher.


Going up the tow rope. I'm not sure how long this took, but he finally made it all the way to the top by himself.


I got down to the bottom and expected him to be done and I couldn't see them anywhere. I figured they must have gone up the chair lift. I went up and found them and then his teacher said I could just take him down since it was his last run anyway. He was being super silly still. Oh well at least he was having fun.


He would get going too fast and try to slow down. He must have been worried that he wouldn't be able to stop. He kept falling back on purpose and then he would giggle. After telling him many times to stop I finally bribed him and told him that if he wouldn't fall again the rest of the way down the hill I would go buy him some hot chocolate and a treat.


Amazing he actually stopped falling. I knew he was just being silly. He made it the rest of the way and got his treat.


He actually wanted to go back out and keep skiing after our break, but it started snowing and I figured we should just be done on our first time out this year.

Side note: the pictures are not great. My camera is getting cleaned so I had to use my point and shoot. Not an easy thing to go back to.

Kaiden

I'm back. I can't believe he is already six weeks old. Time really flies. My sister called me today and wanted me to take some pictures. We just did a real fast shoot. We ended up with more than I thought we would. Let me know what you think.













I haven't even touched my pictures from Christmas yet, but I hope to have them up soon.

Finished

I took some more time off from editing, but I got back to it and finish Kaiden's pictures tonight. Here are a few more pictures (ok more than a few) and his birth announcement.

















Definitely more than I few. I just couldn't decide. I was in pure heaven taking these pictures. When babies are like this they are so cute you don't want to touch them. I just keep taking pictures.

Just for Grandma...

The pretty dress.



I don't even know what to say about this little one. She is so cute, smart and such a little stink. I have said up to this point that I don't know why people say "terrible two." I didn't think the "two's" were all that terrible with Braiden, but I'm afraid that Brooklynn is going to give me a whole new outlook. She doesn't turn two until March, but I think our fun is already beginning.
She had to call Grandma tonight which is "a hello grandma, a hello?" As we were talking to Grandma, we went in to get her PJs on. Instead we ended up putting on her dress and taking pictures so Grandma could see it.

I had my eye on this dress at Maceys, but couldn't bring myself to pay full price for it. I went back a few weeks ago and they were gone. I happened to be in Maceys today and there it was. The only one, just her size and best of all it was half off. I honestly think she was just as excited about it as I was. She had to hold it all the way to the register, out of the store and in the Truck. I can't believe she actually let me hang it in the closet. I am going to have to put it out of sight so we don't have to put it on everyday.



She wouldn't let me take off the sunglasses, another thing she loves and yes they are upside down.

Here is a little something I put together for my sister's Christmas cards.

I'm not done, but here are a few. Let me know if you like any of these or if I should keep going. I think I only have about 5 more to go. Also the birth announcement is done, but I need to edit a few more pics first. I should be able to have everything done by tomorrow.

Here you go Kayti. Let me know what you want me to change and which one you want.









Ok those are the only choices you get. It will only make it easier to decide :)

I took some pictures of Kaiden this morning. I tried last Friday, but it didn't go so well. Today couldn't have gone any better. Here is a preview Karli...
