November Fun

Noel is now 4. She is growing up so fast. We celebrated her birthday just as a family on her birthday and she and I made cupcakes for the family celebration. She loved frosting the cupcakes.

 Hmmm. Which ones did Noel frost?

 Our handsome boy eating yummy cupcakes.

 Noel's birthday gifts.

My parents came into town the weekend after Noel's birthday which is also the weekend before my brother Mikey's birthday. We enjoyed that time so much!

 We had to get a picture of the birthday boy and birthday girl, together:)

 The whole gang. Thanks Mom and Dad for coming out and playing! We sure enjoyed ever second of your visit! We love you!

Halloween

 Pumpkin carving!

 Noel's pumpkin.

 Sam's pumpkin.

 Sam was a lumberjack for Halloween. We went to a Halloween Party at the church the night before Halloween.

 Noel was an artist.

 They played games at the Halloween Party.

 I was a FBI agent and Morgan was a construction worker. 

Chris, Kareena and Ty were, Batman, Cat Woman and Robin:) I love them!

 Just before trick or treating. The kids were so excited!

 Ty on Halloween night was a cute little duck.

 Sam being silly after trick or treating.

Some more pictures

Here's a fun picture of Morgan with the kids and the beautiful colors that we experience here in Utah.

Our little cutie.

There are very similar pictures of me when I was younger that I remember seeing where I am grinning exactly like this. She is definitely my daughter:)

Our little stud muffin.

Hmmmm. (So, we set him down on the grass and he totally did this himself. It was too funny!)

Here's some more pictures from a different photo shoot of the kids.

 Love this!

 Mikey took this picture of us. 

 Love these pictures of Mikey with the kids. They sure love their Uncle Mikey:)

PHOTO SHOOTS

Within this last month I've had many opportunities to take pictures and gain more experience in the photography realm. This first shoot was for my friend Danielle and her family. She actually took pictures of our family on this same evening. We just switched back and forth between getting pictures taken of us and taking pictures. It was fun! They are such a cute family!

 Then Danielle and I took pictures of this lovely couple the following weekend,
Rachel and Landon....

 and this other lovely couple, Callie and Austin.

 Then my brother Mikey and I took pictures of Chris, Kareena and Ty. Mikey and I then edited them together. Mikey did most of the editing, he is the editing pro!
