Banks' Barnyard Bash!!!

She did it again! Banks turned 2 in March (I am a bit behind in blogging!) and he and his buddies had the BEST time at his birthday party! They enjoyed some pin the tail on the cow, raced their rubber duckies in a really cool Rubber Duckie Plunge, "rode" the tractor, fed the baby pig and played in a pool full of corn! 

Banks' mom is simply amazing. 

Almost everything at the party was created by Jennifer with help from her family and very special friends. 

Great job Guys!!

                                                    

                                       

Hope you had a HAPPY, HAPPY Birthday BOO BOO!!!

The End...and a new beginning!

THE END...

The busiest season of my life came to an end LATE last night.

I finally finished my last "Christmas Gift/Card" session!

WHOO HOO!!!

I have been overwhelmed by the support and kindness of all of my friends...old and new.

Thank you for your patience while waiting on your sessions.

New beginnings...

Now my time will no longer be as unequally divided between shooting, editing, designing, the real job (we go to trial next month) and family and friends. I can finally TRY to buy a Christmas gift or 2 (so pitiful under my tree) and get going full blast at night with the real job.

Thank you to my family and friends and awesome husband for being SO VERY UNDERSTANDING. I could never have imagined that it would be this way and you really couldn't believe it unless you lived in my house (or you had your own Christmas session season). Matt has been amazing- so patient and such an incredible support system when I have been up into the early hours of every morning editing and then acting like a zombie when I return from the office only to do it all over again. Thank goodness for takeout, coffee, a little white wine and Mt. Dew!

I have SO much to post in the near future (now that all of the cards have been mailed) so stay tuned. Since I am taking a photo hiatus until February, I may have time to update the blog and Facebook!

Take care and good luck to the rest of you late shoppers!

And because a post on this blog requires pictures...

My best Boo Boo Banks says MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

TRUE CHRISTMAS JOY!!!

Down on the Farm

The Trotman Cattle Ranch.

What a fun location!

(I apologize for the length of this post- I just couldn't narrow them down.)

Banks had so much to see and do and somehow he gets cuter every time I see him.

Love this kiddo and his awesome family!

Thanks again, Tootie for your constant support and encouragement!
