Silhouettes

My photo group did "silhouettes" tonight and it was tons of fun!

Here are my favorites... sorry I couldn't resist sneaking in one with a model!
None of these are edited, because I really dread editing, so here is how they came out. Thanks to everyone for all your help!

Ode to Carly

So, I noticed today that my little girl hasn't had a lot of pictures posted lately, so in honor of her upcoming 1st birthday, here is my little ode to Carly. All of these pics have been taken within that past couple weeks.

Head Lamp

Jakob had fun wearing his Daddy's headlamp the other day and decided to go out and ride his trike...
...unfortunately, it didn't help him see where he was going...
He thinks he's so funny!

Family Reunion

Well, the kids and I traveled to Black Beach Resort in Republic, WA. with my Dad for our family reunion. While I took nearly 400 pictures on the trip here are a few highlights...



Carly and her Great-Grandma















Jakob with his face painted...which he was very reluctant to do, but once he saw the other kids he let his Auntie give him some war paint too.









Carly LOVED eating on this trip...and she didn't have to do much to get somebody to give her something. Here she is enjoying spaghetti and watermelon, but later she got her Grandpa to give her a rice krispy treat! I knew my uncle had given her a couple small bites of his, but it wasn't until the next morning that I found out that my Dad had gotten her a whole other rice krispy treat and fed it to her. Sometimes I think I've got to watch those grandparents more than I have to watch my own kids! :)






Everybody loved playing in the water and riding on the boat.






























And we all LOVED spending time with our cousins!
