Labor Day

The perfect day for a little football...

a little relaxing...

a little walking...

and a lot of kids!

Anna and Ava

A few from Memorial Day...

Little Miss Anna

We haven't seen baby Anna since Christmas time and she has gotten so big! I guess we should stop calling her baby since she will be 2 in September and isn't the youngest member of the family anymore. I think she was more interested in seeing herself on the camera screen than having her picture taken but I was just glad I could capture her attention for a little while.

This one is a little blurry but I love her little tongue sticking out!

These were the flowers that were on the table. I thought they were really pretty. I had to erase the www.walmart.com that was on the bag to the left of them.

Back to work, back to blogging

Since for some crazy reason I was more busy last week than when I actually go to work I didn't have any time to blog or to take pictures for that matter. I really wish I would have got my camera out more but at least I took some on Easter. Hopefully the nice weather will give me more of a reason to get my camera out!

Here are some from Easter:

I got Richie to pose for a quick before he changed out of his church clothes.

This kid is trained so well!! He sees the camera come out and makes this face on his own! He is probably my only willing subject.

Me and Baby Ava. This was the first time I got to meet her. She is so sweet!

Richie and his Dad. I think I know what my husband will look like in 20 years.

A day late...

But still super sweet...

Happy Valentine's Day!



Love,

Richie and Stephanie

Christmas Tree & Snowball Fights

The first one was my responsibility the second one I had nothing to do with (mainly because I had the camera)


We were supposed to ride to the field behind the tractor but it was too slippery and we had to get out and walk.



I'm kinda happy that I wasn't in the middle of this.




Since this was the result.






It kinda stinks when all of the boys gang up on you.



I finally found a tree. It took longer than it should have since I spent so much time taking pictures and not looking. It was my turn to pick the tree this year. I wanted to get a thin one that wasn't too skinny.



And of course sweet Richie was there to cut the tree down and carry it back to the car.

It's beginning

to smell a a lot like Christmas....



I love it when we get out the holiday Yankee Candles. We used up the two we had last year so this year we went out and bought two new ones. I was upset that they discontinued the one that we had called "Festival of Lights" but this cinnamon one smells pretty close.




This one cracks me up. Susie decided that since our neighbor thinks it's alright to leave his lawnmower out in the middle of the yard for weeks (it's been there for almost a month) that she would decorate it for Christmas. The little red bow makes it look so much more festive!

Introducing...

Mr. and Mrs. Micah Buttler...















Our wedding is the next. I can't wait!

P.S: On a side note (that made me really happy) the photographer that was hired saw Richie taking pictures with my camera and started asking him about it. He said that we were getting some really great shots. That just made my day. A real photographer, with professional equipment, telling us that he liked our pictures. Hooray!
