Color?

I can't wait for winter to be over and done with so I can take my kids outside for fun and for pictures!!! In the meantime I am trying to learn how to get a good picture in studio. Here's one of Avery today........and I'm not sure if I like it better in color or not? Let me know what you think! =)

Glitter isn't all it's cracked up to be!

........ask Cohen! Seconds after sucking on a glue stick full of blue glitter he was spitting and using his fingers to try and get the glitter off his tongue! It was hilarious, and I had to grab a quick snap shot of this...........He is officially into EVERYTHING now!

Miss Avery and Baby Cohen

Okay, just playing around in photoshop and in my studio.........here's a few things I'm trying out. I am not posting nearly as much as I would like.........so here's a load of recent pictures, and an overload of blog posts! I'm so annoyed with the way my pictures look on facebook.......so I'm going to try and give more attention to my blog :) I have some really exciting news coming in the next week or so...... BIG BIG news!!!!!!! So stay tuned, and thx for checking in!

Just one for today

My lil man..... just playing in the studio.

Remember this lil boy?

Cohen is 9months old today! We brought him to the clinic today to see how much he weighed, and he has now passed the 20lb mark, which means he is too heavy for the infant carrier and it's time to change his carseat! His actual weight is 21lbs 10 oz. He's doing just awesome! Because it was so warm this afternoon, I brought him outside and let him sit in the sled and watch Daddy shovel the sidewalks. He has 2 bottom teeth and we are beginning to wean him from formula to whole milk. You can see his new 'trick'............. he is so proud that he can clap his hands now when we say "Yaaaaaaaaaaaa Cohen!" and we are working on blowing kisses, he's almost there. He's getting to be the age I love most! (I think I keep saying that though....lol) but I love when babies start toddling along, and learning to repeat and say new words.... learn to walk etc... fun, but definately a busy stage!

Oh and I almost forgot... these are some of the first shots with my new camera! I upgraded to the Canon 5D MarkII and I am in LOVE with it! We are going to spend the next few months getting to know eachother better, but I think we'll get along just fine!

Sweet Sweet Babies! A first for me...

TWINS!

Thank you Jerome & Diane for bringing you and your girls over for a session the other night! These parents sure have it together already.... When we booked the session for 6pm, I assumed that they would be here sometime before 7 (those of you who are parents know exactly what I'm talking about....) but they walked in right on time each carrying a sweet tiny bebe. One twin loved to sleep, the other was very content just looking around with eyes wide open...... they were just so cute!

Home Sweet Home.

Here's a quick one of Goofy and the kids at Disneyland 2009!

AHHHHHHHHH..........it's been a very long time, in fact almost a month since I have updated my blog! I thought that once Christmas was over... January would be less busy for us but it came and went faster then I could blink! We enjoyed a week away, and took the kids to Disneyland California. What an adventure it was....and so so so fun! I am so grateful that we were able to go, and one of the best things about it was that we could share all the magic with one of our favorite families...the Zevola's! My kids are younger and their big cousins are their idols so it was an extra special treat to be at Disneyland with them. I loved having them along for adult conversations and sometimes adult rides that the smaller ones couldn't go on. That takes care of the last week of January. What was going on before that? Well.........my niece Cassie came to visit and it was the first time we got to meet her first child, Chani. Just before Christmas Cassie had a 2nd child, baby Jude. I was so happy she could fit me into her visiting schedule and we were able to take some newborn pictures. I have about 3,000 pictures to share here.......and I'll start with just a few of baby Jude. I haven't finished proofing his session but needed to add some pictures to this blog post, right??? :) Thx for looking! I will be posting more pictures all week as I go through the rest of Jude's session, our Disney trip, and a few other surprises as well! I will also be posting my review on the whole Disney trip...giving tips to anyone who may go in the near future, so if that's you...........check back soon~

Luv Adrienne

Teeny Tiny and wide awake!

14 days of freshness! I haven't looked at all the pictures yet but wanted to post a few for you JP and Adrienne! I love her to pieces already, she is such a doll! Easton is gonna be a great big brother, looking forward to spending time with you while you are on your maternity leave!

Congratulations are in Order!

This special family welcomed a new baby girl last night! Little miss Jaya Joele made her first appearance weighing 8lbs 9oz. I am SOOOOO happy for my best friend and her family! I can't wait to hold and snuggle Baby Jaya, and take a few newborn pictures too! ;)

Doing the Happy Friday Dance....

We've had lots and lots and lots going on here lately..........too much, and today I can see on my calendar, that there are only 6 full days until Christmas! The hugely anticipated holiday of the year in our books. So much time has gone into shopping, preparing, wrapping, preparing, photo taking, editing, packaging, mailing...........and in the end I know that everything will end just as its supposed to. I know that the next few weeks will be fun and exciting and I am going to live each moment and event to the fullest. My home is feeling so comfy and warm with our tree decorated and lit, and the kids waking up this morning with the sound of excitement now that Christmas Holidays has officially begun for them. We are going to town this morning to get last minute items for Jaden's birthday party this afternoon, and for the next 2 weeks my calendar is wide open!!! Bring on the company, and visiting, playing board games, making hot chocolate, decorating cookies and just being together snuggling on the couch, talking about Santa and baby Jesus, reading our Christmas books, and watching ELF which has become a tradition at this time of year :) Nothing to do but enjoy the down time, enjoy my kids, enjoy the season. The magic has started... when my 2 older ones crawled into bed with me early this morning whispering then giggling, soooo excited to be home and counting down the days for Christmas. This morning I feel SO blessed. I have a husband who loves me for me, and whom I love bigger then the sky who gave me 3 beautiful, sweet and healthy kids. We live across the street from my parents who are there for us every single day, who love my kids to pieces. We are near the majority of our extended family, and we look forward to spending time with them during the holidays.

SOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... bring on the next two weeks, bring on the music singing, dancing, jammie jamming, late nights and late mornings, candy cane licking, mistletoe kissing, full belly laughing, and all that the season brings! Enjoy the Holidays!!! I know we will :) :) :)
