rookie mom?

thought i'd be smart and let her draw on her pumpkin so that she wouldn't try to eat the pumpkin guts while we were carving...

great idea, huh?!!

a ninja birthday was his request, so we made due with what we had since you can't really find ninja stuff. he loved it regardless and did his best to handle the attention on his special day. his shy, serious self comes out when people are all looking at him, so the gift opening was slightly painful. but he managed to be all smiles for the yummy ice cream cake.

little boy sleepover

caleb had a few of his favorite buddies over for his birthday. after playing monster golf & eating pizza, we made monster cupcakes and camped out on the living room floor to watch a movie and eat lots of candy & popcorn! some crazy guy even served breakfast the next morning. it was an awesome time!!

photo shoot favorites

got to take pictures of this special family over the weekend out in the country. it was a perfect fall day to capture some great shots. the kids were so good and did a great job roaming in some prickly fields. i came home with some splinter type things in my feet (bad idea to wear flipflops!!), but it was well worth it! beautiful family :)
