My precious new niece

Seriously...I could hold her all day! What a sweet little lovie! It was so fun to spend time with her today....These were my favorite shots of the day...

Pics for Lish

I am posting these pictures for my cousin Alicia....let me know which ones you like!

Welcome baby Macy!

We are excited to announce our new baby niece...Macy Kay....she was born on Thursday, Oct. 1 at 5:37 p.m. She is a beautiful little peanut....6 lbs. 3 oz. We think she looks a lot like Owen did as a baby. We can't get enough of her!

Family Photoshoot

The church needed a new photo for the new directory so I thought that was a great opportunity for a new family picture!

A beautiful family...with a new brother!

What a precious gift from God...we praise him for the adoption of this sweet little boy and how lucky was I to get a chance to take some pictures!

Misc. September Things

Jog-a-th0n statistics are in...the school raised more than $45,000 in the fun event....Hailey ran 30 Laps (the equivalent of 3 3/4 miles) in 45 minutes (I think)... Micah ran 26 laps (3 1/4 miles)

Mom ran probably close to a half marathon between the three kids :-)

Taylor ran 23 laps (2 7/8 miles)

Micah with his Kindergarten buddy...Cole...I love this picture :-)

Loren just became a Real Estate Agent for Windemere...Way to go Loren! I got to do his photoshoot...this was my favorite picture but he didn't like it...so I guess you will have to ask him for a business card to see the picture he likes best :-) Play day with sweet friends...Hailey & Jadyn

Emmalee & Taylor

Taylor started squeeking...er...I mean...playing....violin this month! Sorry to our neighbors! I would sure like to ask Mrs. Smit how she can stand listening to all those kids learning to play! I know it will be beautiful some day...It takes a special person to want to be in a room with newbies! Taylor takes her practice time very seriously....I think I need ear plugs!

Soccer...Times 3

Never a dull moment here...a couple of weeks ago my brother-in-law, Randy, called from Iowa to wish Jeff a happy birthday...his message said something like this...Hi Jeff...This is your brother Randy calling...maybe you guys should spend some time at home once in a while...we can never catch you at home! Ha! I agree Randy! But this is the stage of life we are in...soccer 3 nights a week and Saturdays, piano, homework, appointments, groceries, work, etc. We are on the run! Micah's first time playing soccer on a team! A great experience...we ended up on a team with lots of buddies from church...HE LOVES IT!

Look at this stride....he always kicks like this....sometimes he misses the ball-ha!

Hailey has had a winning season and gotten to meet a lot of new friends...funny how she does that...happy girl!

Tay likes to play goalie or defender...really she does like it there! Hailey can't believe it but then again Taylor can't believe Hailey likes to play forward...they are so good for each other!
