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!

Tobias and Titus on "The View"!

 What a whirlwind it's been since Tobias and Titus' first 5K run last Friday! Contessa called me in a rush on Monday asking for pictures from the run because the Today Show wanted to talk about his story. On Wednesday I hear from my friend Sydnie that Tobias was going to be on The View. I thought it would be another photo showing while they talk about the story, then she sent me a clip of the boys live on The View! The show flew Contessa and the boys out to New York City on Tuesday and Wednesday morning they appeared live on the show! I can't believe how natural Tobias was on national TV (I know I would have been mortified at the thought at that age.. even at this age!). Even Tess got to make her way to the stage and the hosts all had very kind things to say to them. She's now happy to be back in Oklahoma (New York isn't quite as kind, maybe that's why they are so shocked at by Tobias' actions...), but what a story to tell!    Okay, I just couldn't not include some pics, so I dug deep to find some of the photos I have of the Bass boys. Here's one from when I first met Tobias.. can't believe how little he was.. missing teeth and all!

And here is Titus when he was tiny too!

Can we say this kid was cut out to be in front of the camera?

 

And here he was getting his kickball on with the big kids at Ray's bday party a few years ago 

 All which leads us up to now, where they are an inspiration to many :c)
