we had a BLAST at Ashlyn's 2nd birthday party!
the weather was gorgeous! yah spring is here!
and the theme!!! mickey mouse and friends!!!
tiff went all out and everyone had a great time.
pics were taken with my G11...gettin better, huh?
and so much easier to carry around :)
ah! we had the sweet pleasure of meeting Baby B this past week. And the "big Sisters" got to play together again.
Brroke and Katelyn are exactly 1 month apart and Brianne and Emily are just shy by 1 day to being 1 month apart!
When I called Shea to tell her I was preggers with Katelyn...she said me too!
And then when I called her to tell her it was a girl...she said me too!
And then wehn I called to tell her I was preggers with Emilys...she said me too!
And then when I called her to tell her it was another girl...she said me too!
LOL!
this was an impromptu photo shoot. luckily Emily slept so I could "play" and the "Big Sisters" played nicely together too.
as you can see, I had a hard time only picking a couple of faves to post on the blog!
and can't leave out Big Sister Brooke:
and these sweet sisters together:
yes, i am still trying to get through all my holiday photos!
i promised T and Shea i would get these done ASAP...
we had a wonderful evening together.
the girls got along GREAT and it was nice for the adults to be able to chat and catch up while the littles ran amuck :)
it was a little more difficult to get a photo of the 2 crazy lil ones!
we've been spending the holiday together since the girls were born in 2006. it was a bit easier when we could just prop them up on the couch and snap away. now we are dealing with pouty, sad faces and "No way, mama!"
we did plan for the girls to match (did i even get a photo of them in their matching T's??)
Shea and I almost wore the same sweater too! wouldn't that have been funny?
look at me big ol belly!
you can't even tell Shea is preggers!!!
thanks girls for visiting! T all the way from NY and The Seffens from Rocklin!
i had such a full warm heart after your visit!
The other weekend we had our Annual Girlfriends Holiday Ornament exchange. I just love love love these parties. The kids play great together. Us girls get to catch up. i am so happy all 5 (Kristin, Nicole, Emily, Angela and me) of us could come this time!
We ate and chatted...enjoyed each other's company. We then held our Ornament Exchange and the kiddos even got involved stealing ornaments! We came home with a Starbucks mug ornament. This makes up for the one we broke :( Emily made a delish cinnamon roll dish- YUM!! I look forward to making it on Christmas morning.
Emily's Cinnamon Roll YUMMO dish recipe

3 teaspoons cinnamon (or to your liking)
1/3 cup chopped nuts (optional- never have had it with the nuts)
2 sticks melted butter (1 cup)
Grease 9 inch round cake pan. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine cinnamon and sugar (and nuts if using). Dip each biscuit into
melted butter and then into sugar mixture. Place each biscuit into
pan overlapping 15 in outer circle and 5 in middle. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until brown.
After taking out of the oven, immediately invert on to serving plate.
Drizzle with glaze.
Glaze:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4ish teaspoon vanilla
2 to 3 Tablespoons milk
Combine ingredients to desired consistency (adding more or less milk)
and drizzle over coffee cake before serving.
I am just in love with these photos. Katelyn who is usually my unwilling model was all oogly eyes over Caleb and it made for some super cute photos. When Ryder was done having his diaper changed he joined in on the fun too although he wasn't a fan of Katelyn's affections.
i've been burning the midnight oil....staying up late, waking up early, trying to stay on top of my editing. i've got so much to do. this is a very busy time of the year. everyone trying to get their Holiday photos taken.

A few weeks ago we attended our good friends', Sarah and Andres' wedding! You may remember their Engagement Photos I took. We had a wonderful time catching up with all our friends from High School. It is so great to see all of them happy!
nicole with new man, matt.
Zoolander style- ggggrrrrr!
mended friendships are the best! i gotta say my hubby (on right) was the most handsomest guy there! i am lucky! chew and all LOL!
ryan is pretty lucky too- 2 beautiful girls on his arm!
rollin' solo! zack made me pose by myself while waiting for nicole to gloss it up.
sportin' the baby bump...and lip gloss!
can you believe this is the only photo i took of the bride and groom?!
Such a lovely couple! Zack and I have know Andres since Junior High School. He was one of Zack's Bestmen in our wedding. We are so happy he has found someone so wonderful to share his life with. We wish you two a lifetime of happiness, laughter and love.
We had to move fast during the shoot because we were losing this warm, buttery light FAST! Aren't they sweet together?
Just a quick sneak peek for now. I am putting the final touches on the album.
Cheers for now!
These photos are from May. We were on our way to Ryder's Baptism party. I forgot all about these photos and found them as I was cleaning up my laptop and backing up my photos.
Party Essentials: dress, ponytail, baby and snacks! Only thing missing is a smile!! I swear I can't get that child to smile for the camera!! Is it too early to bribe with candy and sweets??
It was Caleb's job to hold Ryder up. Clearly, Katelyn wanted no part of this photo shoot :)
If looks could kill! Katelyn is saying here "Mom, I swear! I will remember this and will retaliate when I am a teenager!"
Total look of disgust! I guess Katelyn is going through the boys-have-cooties phase.
The Birthday Boy, Dane!! Thanks for a GREAT party!!!
Sunday we spent the day celebrating Dane's 4th birthday!!!
Ellie hired the face painter from Knudsen's Party and she did a wonderful job.
Most of the kids all go to daycare together. It is so cute to see how much fun they have with each other and how much they care about one another.
Dynamic Duo!! Check out those muscles!!
This is Ellie trying to distract Katelyn and turn her sour mood (you can even see Bean's forwn!) into fun times. It worked. Before we knew it, Katelyn was running around having a good 'ol time with the rest of the kiddos.
I am trying to get my MAC up and running...I thought it would be tonight, but no such luck. I edited the last half of these photos in iPhoto just to get them done. It was quick and easy but doesn't produce the same results as ACR and Photoshop. I can't wait to have it all streamlined.
