In Home Studio!!

This past week we had an in home studio picture session. Emilee was soooo excited, Austin wasn't so sure about it and Tyler thought it was the worst idea ever. I have decided that this will not happen again for a very long time.
I worked at JC Penny's photography studio for a while before we were married, so I decided I did know a little about taking pictures and getting things set up, the only thing I did not plan on was the unhappy children. I did manage to get one good picture of all 3 of them so at least not all of my effort was in vain.
So here are some of the pictures that we took. The ones of them individually are pretty good. Just have to do something about the red eye.

I had to put one picture in the shows a little of my struggles.

Tyler is just learing to sit up and is doing really well. I was taking some pictures of him sitting up and I just so happened to catch him as he was falling over. He looks so cute just sitting there all by himself.

Picture Overload!!

I thought I would start this post out with a little happy boy. He is pure happiness. And we are all in love with him. Most of the time the kids cannot keep their hands off of him, and well neither can Mommy. He is adorable. This past weekend was our fall church retreat. We had lots of laughs and made lots of memories. The picture below is one of those cute times that we were happy to be able to catch a glimpse of on the camera.
Allison is kissing Noah and she was backing him up in the corner. It was sooo cute.

As you can tell they were really busy helping clean up.

Such a good baby!!!

Rachel and Austin cuddling.

Sally and Karis, some of Emilee's friends.

Bro. & Sis. Alley. Two wonderful people.

My wonderful parents.

She looks like she is up to no good.I think they were trying to look busy, but...

Allison was loving walking around in my shoes.

This is what they had been waiting for the whole weekend. They loved getting a bath in the big sink.

I tried to catch him in the act, but couldn't. He was bent over backwards trying to get the chips. It was really cute.

I think they are starting a little young. But ohhh they are cute

My sweet hubby with the cookies that Maria sent him for his birthday.

The next few pictures are of the parade of Fire Trucks for the Asst. Fire Chief of our department. He passed away at the age of 44, he was diagnosed with cancer 1 year ago. The parade was one of the neatest and most tear jerking things I have ever seen.

The Fire Trucks drove for 2 hours by 7 Fire Stations. The pictures are in order starting at the funeral home and ending at the cemetery.This is the truck that Jason was in.
This flag was huge. They had to tie it down.

This is what I fixed for our 7th anniversary dinner. It was good and looked really pretty.

Its hard to believe that we have been married for 7 years already. I can honestly say they have been the best and most fulfilling years of my life. I want to be married to Jason for many more years.

Emilee's First Day of School.

We must be getting old to already have a child in school, well it is making me feel really old. And then the fact that she is old enough to go to school blows my mind too. She was so excited to go to school. We put her to bed at 9:30 the night before and she was still awake at 11:00 p.m. She was so excited that she could not even go to sleep.
I had taken that day off from work, because I wanted to take her to school and take pictures. I fixed the kids eggs with cheese and hot dogs in it (thanks to Grandpa Hunsaker for starting the hot dog thing.) She didn't eat much because of all the excitement, so we got ready and took her to her first day of school. Once we got to school she was soooo happy because she and Kaitlynn had the same lunch box and little school box, and she thought that was great.
She had a good day at school and then was disappointed that it was Friday, because she wanted to go back the next day.
She has been in school for a week now, and loves it.
So far Mommy has done pretty good. I only shed a few tears the first day. Austin was lost the first day, but has been pretty good since then. Tyler I don't think misses her, but she sure misses him. He is the first person she wants to see when she gets home.
Here are some pictures of her first day at school. She is all ready and waiting not so patiently for us to walk out the door.

Getting to see her desk for the first time. Look at that smile!!!

Her and her friend, or should I say partner in crime? HA!

The next 2 pictures show what Austin thought of the whole thing.

And this is what Tyler did.

The next few pics are the little photo session I had for Tyler. He is 4 months and is a little ham. He is cutting 2 teeth and they are giving him and Mommy alot of grief right now, hopefully they will be here in the next few days. He is getting to be a little handful. And the days are over of holding him and sitting "close" to the table or anything for that matter. He also has found out that he has hair. He grabs his head and just looks at you, it is soooo cute.

I hope you enjoy the pics!!!
