Benjamin 18 mths

My little bitty buddy Benjamin is no longer little bitty! haha
Its so fun to watch him grow into such a cute little boy!!
He's definitely ALL boy! he loves to run around and be silly :)
he listens really well and sits - for a few moments at least ;)

too cute.

i think this is my favorite :)

i think everytime at least once he gives me this look...too funny :)

i think he has the bluest eyes - precious

in between wardrobe change ;)

oooh well this my be my favorite one too....

Isaac, Luke & Madelan

Little Isaac and Luke got a new baby sister Madelan! This was mainly supposed to be for her 3mth pictures...but it turned into an Isaac and Luke production ;)
It was so cold and nasty out the day they came so we were stuck inside and keeping these boys in an enclosed environment is quite a task ;) hahah - well they're used to coming here and roaming around outside and looking at all the animals and weren't able to this time :(
Kari and Jacob definitely have their hands full with these little rambunctious boys! They're so cute though and now they have a little sister in the mix!

they crack me up -

little lukey looks so innocent haha

this is just precious.

she's a happy little baby

i love this :)

they are too funny

this one cracks me up - they look like total partners in crime.....

she was pooped and passed out .........

too cute...

Gries Family

My Good friend Rachael decided to get together with her brothers and sister and their spouses and kids to get a family photo done as a surprise to her parents for Christmas - sooo one weekend when they were all in town they came out and we got some group pictures :)
they got the pictures for Christmas and loved them - so it was a success :)
Ella, Lilly and Caroline are soooo stinkin cute!!

i love sunset pictures :)

ella and her little curls :)

i don't think i've EVER seen that much blonde hair on a 3 mth old - ever...ah-maz-ing.

beautiful blondes ;)

Carmen & Evan

I usually end up going over to my brothers house to take pics of his kids, Carmen and Evan around Christmas time....so i did again this year - and i definitely have my hands full with these two....Evan just loves attacking and wrestling me as i'm trying to take his picture...if he's not jumping on me he's running from the camera...and Carmen she likes to get her picture taken sometimes...her favorite thing is to make funny faces and then have me show her...i didn't know what i was going to get out of this but we got some cute ones and i can never get enough of my own niece and nephew....and they now have a new little brother that is about a week old....Can't wait to show him off too!!

Evan being a little stinker butt - yes i call him that....he's got such a cute Smile!!! ;)

This CRACKS me up....they wouldn't sit still and so i was just taking pictures of them running around there house....it cracks me up how they look like they're just peeking over...

my little buddies :)

Carmen hammin' it up

i think this is right after one of the times he attacked me....you can tell by the messed up hair and mischeivious smile ;)


he looks so sweet here...

Carmen and her different expressions.....little miss attitude ;)

Dancing to Jingle Bells :)

Looking for Santa......

Amelia 6 mths

I know its a little past Christmas but my internet is down and i brought some files over to see if i can blog on my brothers computer for now until i get mine fixed :(

Anyways here is Amelia - she is such a happy baby! it was hilarious cause her mom Rachel forgot something at home and i said it would be ok if she wanted to run home and i could work w/ Amelia until she got back.....so i was done with one outfit and needed to change her into her dress.....now, i have alot of experience with kids and dressing them....and i was hurrying to get her dress on and take the pictures...and Rachel came back when i was just about done with that dress and she was ready for another change....as Rachel started to change her into her last outfit....she paused and goes "Oh my God...her dress is on BackWARDS!" hahahha i froze and then fell to the ground laughing hysterically.....you can't tell...so yeah - but needless to say - it was hilarious - after i had been running around and trying to take her pics by myself i really should have seen it coming :)

so cute!

that dimple is freakin adorable - this is the backwards dress.....see i told ya you couldn't really tell.....

on with the next post :)
