Photo Shoot

We decided to try and set up our own "photo shoot" to get some cute pictures of the kids. There aren't a lot of options up here as far as photo studios, and we were less than thrilled with the last place so I guess we'll have to make do until we can get to a bigger city to have some professional shots taken. We got a couple of cute ones and a lot of goofy ones, but they're still worth keeping! Of course you see my hands in some because Landon would start tipping over and I would have to catch him & sit him back up. We don't have any of Grace by herself because once we get Landon done and the two of them together she is outta there!

Fall Fun

Finally I was able to update some pics - it has been bugging me for awhile! Here are some miscellaneous photos from the last 2 months. The kids are always keeping us on our toes, but we wouldn't have it any other way :) Grace is talking like crazy and always cracking us up as we approach her 2nd birthday in November (where does the time go?). Landon is sitting up, scooting and rolling so it won't be long before he is crawling all over the place. He has lots of teeth now - 6 to be exact! He just had his 6 month checkup at the doctor and he is 26 lbs 4 oz, 29 1/4" long. He is in the 99th percentile plus (off the charts) in both height and weight and his head is 95th. We already knew he was a big boy, but at least he's proportionate!

Pumpkin Carving Time

Here is a quick clip of the fun (or lack thereof) Grace had while carving her pumpkin last weekend. Landon busied himself with his finger food as he watched on.

Halloween preview

Aunt Cathy made some cute Halloween t-shirts for all of the kids and we had a little photo op last Sunday night- ADORABLE!!

Just a taste...

Our Inland Waterway trip over Labor Day

Grace's "shoes" - this was pretty funny; she found her cousin Wyatt's socks
and put them on her feet (inside out) and ran around saying they were her shoes...

feeding the huge fish at the hatchery

Cool shades guys...(they were uncle Mike's until Grace broke them)



Swimming at Beba & Grandpa's

S'more's...YUM!!!


This is just a taste of what's to come so to speak...I have a bunch of pics to upload. I am buimmed though because our memory card conked out on us and we had some really cute pics from the county fair that we lost! More to come....stay tuned!!!

Finally, some new pics!!

My happy boy

In case youu are wondering about the first couple pictures, I just figured out how to email them from my cell phone so they have been sitting on there forever! They were so cute I had to share them.

It seems I am always saying this, but we have been extrememly busy lately so I have been awful about getting things posted. Sorry!! I can't believe summer is almost over already- where does the time go? I guess it makes things a little tougher when things are busy with work, a house for sale with showings and open houses, 2 kids to keep up with and lots of weekend plans!

Last weekend we took a girl's trip to Saginaw to help Karen look for a wedding dress, try on bridesmaid dresses and flowergirl dresses- of course I forgot my camera! I did get a cute one of Grace on my cell phone though.

Tonight we are taking the kids to the fair, Thursday I have to go to Jackson for work overnight and am meeting Matt & the kids at my parent's house. Grandma & Grandpa (and Aunt Megan too) are babysitting the kids so Matt, Cathy, Mike & I can escape to Chicago for a quick overnight trip to celebrate our Anniversaries this month. Should be lots of fun!

I'll try to be better with the pictures- hopefully things will slow down a little soon :)
