5th Annual Pumpkin Carving Party

It's that time of year again.. on Sunday we hosted our 5th Annual Pumpkin Carving Party! It was another beautiful day to be outside enjoying fall with our good friends. Although the amount of pictures that I take seem to be declining each year, I wanted to share the few that I got! First is a family pic :c)

There were plenty of babies!

Including one we are looking forward to meeting! Belinda & Mike joined us on their due date!

There was pumpkin carving

and pumpkin painting

and deciding on what to carve

Isaiah wanted to make sure that everyone knew who Eli was

This is an adorable look between the 2 elders! Isaiah and Willow are 4 months apart, and the babies are only 2 days apart!

Check out how loving the sisters are, while the brothers play it cool...

Love my boys, including their rice krispie covered lips, fuzzy hair, paint covered extremities, and untucked shirts. 

The Hudson's and Cantrell's Family Session

Growing families are so beautiful! I've been shooting these 2 families for a couple years and have loved watching as the girls grow older and now both are (or will be) big sisters! We were thankful that the predicted rain held of for a day- it was a beautiful crisp fall morning last Saturday for our shoot in Tulsa. Enjoy-

Watch the sisters' expressions here...

I love how they copied each other in each picture!

gorgeous eyes :c)

Sweet Cambri was into cuddling when we first started

 

How fun for these cousins to grow together!

Happy 6th Anniversary!

Happy belated anniversary to my fabulous hubby of 6 years. I'm posting this entry over a week late and it includes pictures of our date to the gun range.. my how things have changed since that beautiful September day in 2007! I love how we've grown, not only in family size, but in our relationship with each other and most importantly with God. We both know that change is a part of life, but as our verse declares, I am confident that we will continue  "being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind." And that we "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,  not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." Philippians 2:2-4. Thank you for your humble love, your outstanding job of being a father, and your drive to provide for your family. I love you deeply :c)

Over the past couple weeks..

Over the past couple weeks..

We've learned some things,

like how to hold a rattle

and how to go potty!

We've made our first trip to the Asian market..

which enabled us to enjoy freshly grilled fish (not just the fillet)!

We've cuddled,

taken Grandma to the park,

hugged on Aunt Summer,

and relaxed with Grams.

And just this last weekend we packed it full! We took 2 trips to the zoo

I ran my first 5K since getting pregnant with Eli

And we got to meet Thomas the train at Day Out with Thomas!

Isaiah meeting Sir Topham Hatt reminded me of my sister Kacey meeting the Easter Bunny... its more fun from a distance..

Imagination Station was a favorite of Isaiah's

As was the bounce house

The model train was interesting

And who wouldn't be proud of this Percy Tattoo!

Isaiah snuck in a quick game of golf before we said goodbye to the visitors from Sodor Island

And becuase I can't get enough of these two images, I'll end with them :c)Hope your weekend was just as happy!
