5 Months Old!

July 4, 2011

We have a little tradition going and have been spending July 4th with my bestie Whitney and her little family every year. Well, she had baby Braelyn less than two weeks before, and Rian and I were exhausted. Instead of bbq and fireworks, we all decided to go to Ted's Montana Grill and watch the NYC fireworks on TV. It couldn't have been more perfect for us this year.

Twin Picture #2

Man. I look large today. But, in defense of myself, I am arching my back pretty bad in this picture.

Holiday Card Preview - 2010

Every year I give a little Christmas card preview of the photos we may or may not use. This is year is extra special because I am also going to give you a preview of the ACTUAL Christmas card we are going to use!

Wonder why I am doing this? Because Shutterfly is awesome.

They are running a special promotion that allows bloggers to write up a little something, and you get free cards in return! Isn't that awesome? I think it is.

I use Shutterfly for everything picture related. I have this SITE where I post all of my photos for friends and family to see and order from if they so desire. I order my Christmas cards from them every year. I made a Guest Book for Brett and Kristi's wedding with pictures from their ENGAGEMENT SHOOT.

This year, when we got our PROFESSIONAL PICTURES, I knew I had to get some killer Christmas cards.

Here is my favorites from Shutterfly:

This is a good one to show off more than one picture from a set of pictures.


I like this one because of it's simplicity and beauty. You really can't get more beautiful at Christmas than snowflakes.

I love this one also because of it's simplicity but with the pizazz of the "sparkly" JOY. Perfect for one good picture.

I love the Christmas Light String. My first Christmas card picture was of Cameron with a string of lights. I like the colors of this one also.

Now...which picture(s) should I choose?

Black and white or color? Entire family or just Cameron? One picture or a lot of pictures? Help me decide!!!

P.P.S. I am definitely getting some of THESE!

Ride 'em Cowboy!

We went to the pumpkin patch back in October. It was really fun. They had the "barrel train" ride that Cameron was pumped for. However, he was a little nervous to do it on his own, so I squished in there with him.

I have never laughed so hard.

He was yelling things like, "Wooooooooo," "Ride 'em Cowboy," "This is Awesome" and "Hi Ducks and Goats!" We were having a blast.

Can you tell by the picture?

I have a Really Good Looking Family

Check out my soon-to-be brother and sister-in-laws engagement photos HERE!

Aren't they awesome? I am SOOOOOOO jealous. My engagement photos aren't nearly as beautiful and artistic.

They are awesome Kristi and Brett! Can't wait for August 21st!

Guess What I Got Today?

I have been searching high and low for the perfect photo albums to put all of our pictures in from the past 5 years. I wanted something uniform that I could hopefully just keep going for years to come. I found them today on a whim!

Pebble Photo Album from Crate and Barrell

I bought 5. I am considering buying 5 more next month just in case they are discontinued in the future so that I have them.

I also got THIS! Remember how I wanted this for Mother's Day? Well, I just bought one today!
