At the North Pole with Santa

 We went to see Santa this year.  

And had our photos taken with him

 I really love this photo of 

them  talking with him so diligently.

I can't help but wonder what Blake 

is asking for from the look on 

both Bryson and Santa's face. 

I love the overly happy strike a pose smile that 

Bryson is giving in this shot. 

Even though Blake, has his tongue stuck out of the side,

I love the way he is holding his brothers face. 

Did you visit Santa this year?

Its beginning to look alot like a Christmas Tree

I struggled this year with our tree colors.  

I wanted to go back to the Red and Gold. 

I have tons of these decorations stored downstairs. 

But these blues and browns match

our Living Room so well.  I love

this color combination so much. 

Plus my mother made me

this lovely tree skirt last year.  

Needless to say, this scheme won out.   

starting to notice a pattern in my DS2 photos 

Just finished.  We added the

green balls to the tree this year.  It helps tie in our wall color, 

that otherwise seems out of place.   

Day light

Beautiful glow at night.  

By the way, Luigi is still hanging around the house. 

He loves to get in photos also. 

I think he is pretty cute too :)  

Captain Underpants all over again....

Remember this photo of Blake??

Well history strikes again.  

Here is Bryson with underwear on his head.  

Only difference, he went with 2 pairs. :)

Little Brother, like big brother.  

The same in so many ways, yet so different in others.  

Oh why do little boys enjoy this so much?  

Do girls do this too? 

Poof and October was gone

I'm behind.

With posting, schedules, shopping, life. 

But what's new?  

Seem to be in a real creative slump. 

No motivation or desire! 

Bryson's first time carving a pumpkin. 

He was excited and so ready.  

That didn't last very long.
He wasn't to thrilled with it.  

Josh was forced to finish the job. 

Trick or Treat 

With Luigi 

And Tree Rex 

Luigi, Tree Rex and a wedding

I've managed to let time slip away and an entire month has passed.  We kept busy with family birthday parties, weddings, (nasty stomach virus boooo), and school.  I even did some Christmas shopping this month.  This past weekend, I had the opportunity to photo a nontraditional wedding.  It was held at a lovely park.  The day was very relaxed and no pressure on the couple, guest, or myself.  Sometimes its fun to break away for the expected, and do something your way. It was a nice experience!

  I love this time of the year.  The crisp morning air and beautiful leaves turning colors makes October a fabulous month.  I'm thankful to have this huge front porch to decorate for Halloween. Are you ready for Halloween.  We are..... outside decorated, costumes bought, check, check.  Big B is going as tree rex from skylanders and Little B is going to be Luigi again.   

Note to self :  Add more spiders next year!!!!

  And of course, I adore getting a great photo of my boys playing outside together.  

This shows their personality!
