Family Pictures!

Mom just turned 50! We celebrated at my parents home with a special night together, all of us!

We told stories, ate some awesome food by Chef's Morgan and Cade, opened presents and celebrated all that has come from these two getting married!

I am posting out of order. I NEVER DO THAT, but I wanted to put these on.

We also had family pictures last Saturday. It is sadly the only time we have done this since we got pictures at JCPenny or somewhere when my brothers were one year old!

It was fun! We all put our best smiles on (except Laney sometimes), and now we all have some keepsakes to put up in our home. We also were able to take the pictures at my parents house which will always bring memories. :)

The Whole "Laney" Family

Even Duke

The Girls...

The Boys...

The Waldron Branch...

The Others...

It was REALLY hard to choose which ones to post. I will definitely be framing some soon!

The End!

Clowning Around...

When Laney saw these glasses and clown nose at the dollar store, she had to have them!

She even traded in a mermaid and a lizard stuffed animal for them.

Good thing too! It gave us a lot of cheap family entertainment!

Natural

I wish I was as photogenic as Alex! No fair.

Lovely Pose...

Now this takes talent!

Crew...6 months!

Look at our big 6 month old boy!!!

He is now trying to scoot to get to us or his toys!

He can roll over tummy to back and around to his tummy again!

He is the most ticklish baby I know.

He loves to laugh and smile!

He can hold his own bottle. :)

He has experienced sleeping through the night and we are hoping he gets back to that one.

He still loves to play with his toes.

He LOVES food!

He looks adorable in hats. I can't get enough.

He has thigh rolls and elbow dimples.

He is definitely a charmer...

I can't believe it has been 6 months since Crew was Born!

It seems like it was so long ago, and yet at the same time just yesterday.

I can't believe he was so tiny!

Here are some fun pictures of when Crew first arrived. :)

And month by month he has grown and learned new things...

He is the perfect little brother to Kadie and Laney.

He is so smiley and happy and it is definitely contagious!

I think we are all so excited to see what the next 6 months bring.

Happy 1/2 year Crew!

Windmill Farms

This is one of my favorite things about the fall. Our local outdoor market "dresses up" for the Halloween season with a mini pumpkin patch, petting zoo extravaganza. Well...maybe not that fancy really, but the perfect place to be able to spend an hour or so of free entertainment.

And I even let the girls get a baby pumpkin every time we go.

Laney found hers right away!

Brock made friends with the hired help...

Laney and Keili decided that the local farmer skeleton boys were cute enough to cuddle up with!

We probably will end up here at least once a week before Halloween is over, and then they turn it into a Christmas tree farm. The Holidays are just around the corner!!!

Art in the Park

Last weekend was my art show that I participate in every year. I actually did 5 shows last year, and this year I only entered my favorite Art in the Park in Danville. It was fun to prepare for my favorite show, and not feel too overwhelmed. Maybe next year I will only do this one too...keep things a little slower for a while. 3 kids is busy enough!

Here was my booth:

I had jewelry, jewelry, and more jewelry...

I tried to make new and unique designs this year too.

I had some visitors!

And Whitney even came and helped my Saturday!

My favorite Art in the Park friends! Norma, Stephen, Mary and Susan.

Another Susan and Norma! :)

The show was great, the weather was perfect...and now I am pooped. :)
