Weekend Whoas: Labor Day

 Brothers

make the best friends

“You know you are a Mom when your idea of a great time is sitting on your friends couch while your children help her's tear up her house!” - Jill

We had a great long weekend at home.  Tyler went dove hunting a couple times.  I deep cleaned the house with my little helpers.  I talked my sister into starting a blog, check it out: The Farmer's Family.  And best of all, my sweet friend JIll and her two little boys came over on Sunday. 
------------------
Keeler started his second year of preschool today.  He has been asking all summer when he gets to go back.  This morning he woke up and said, "I'm so excited!"   He goes in the afternoon this year so he was anxious all morning.  It will work out well because I can still eat lunch with them and then take him to school before I go back to work. 
I can't wait to hear how it went.

Have a great week.  
I could get use to a four day work week! 

Heather & Paul's Engagement

Heather and Paul are engaged!  Heather is my husband’s cousin and over the years has become a dear friend of mine.  When she asked that I take her engagement pictures I was honored and nervous.  I wanted them to be exceptional for this darling couple.  We went out Tuesay evening and had so much fun.  Granny and Shalie (Heather’s sister) came along too.  They were great at helping me pose the couple and keeping up with our props.  It wasn’t hard to get great pictures of this gorgeous couple.  Congratulations Heather and Paul…we are so happy for you!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

You will notice that I officially have a watermark.  
Do you like it?! 

Hope you are having a relaxing labor day weekend.  
I'm obviously editing pictures :)

Wagon Photos and Weekend Whoas

We took Kal out yesterday to get a cute picture for his birthday invitation.  It was a successful venture!  Seriously, it was hard to choose just two pictures for the invitation since we ended up with all these darling shots.  Tyler was great and played with the little cowboys while I finished up the design last night.  

Thanks to Granny and Cristen everything went smoothly.  Honestly, this precious overall wearing - chubby baby really makes my heart smile.
 

Plus we managed to have a lot of fun at the park...

 Granny & Kallahan.  

We quickly learned that when this baby has rocks in hand's reach...

eeekkk, this baby has rocks in his mouth!!!

Cristin & Kallahan

Weekend Whoas  (in pictures!)

 Kallahan took 2 steps...watch out world!!  
He is still very wobbly and soon face planted...ouch.

 

On Saturday, Kal & I enjoyed a nice 3 mile jog/walk with Laura & Briggan... with an extra perk of stopping by a couple early morning garage sales. We might have to make this a habit! Then we went to Dodge City and Tyler purchased us a new used lawn mower!

 These boys are crazy and so much fun :)

Tonight we have Keeler's meet & greet at preschool.  He has the same sweet teacher this year but we will get to meet all the kids that will be in his class.  
Have a great week!!

The Baxley-Ford Bunch

When my friend Amy recently asked that I take her family pictures and design her wedding announcements I was honored but also had some honest reservations.  I told her I would love to BUT we had to have some understandings settled first.  I told her that I would not charge her as this is my wedding gift to her and that she couldn't be disappointed when they didn’t turn out perfect since I am far from professional.  She is so quirky and cool.  She said of course and gave me a confidence boost by saying, “I know you will do an awesome job!”  

Her family came over to our house on Sunday evening and we went to work.  Amy is marrying a man with four children and she herself has two.  So they will have six kids together!!  When I told her that I had a Brady Bunch idea for the announcement she grinned from ear to ear and told me, “that’s what we call ourselves!”  
Getting to spend time with them and see how well these two families mesh was so fun!  They all seemed to have a fun time and totally “embraced the camera.”     

 

Congrats to the Baxley-Ford Bunch!  

Thank you for allowing me to be a part in celebrating your union.
