Mason's Third Birthday

I'm not really remembering why, but I just didn't take a lot of pictures at this event. I'm guessing the kids had us running in three different directions at once most of the time. None the less, images from Mason's Third Birthday can be found here. He just keeps getting more and more handsome, and now he's a big brother too!

JT's Birthday Party

These kids just don't stop growing up, do they? Now that the kids are all old enough that we are attending the same birthday parties annually, it is nice to look back at previous year's pictures and see how far all of these wonderful little people have come in three hundred sixty five short days. Amazing really.

Here are the pictures from JT's birthday, June 27, 2010. Aside from being a great kid, his party was also attended by a group of great kids. I love this group of friends... kind, funny, sweet, and charming.

Happy Birthday, JT. Your pictures are right here.

Addy's Second Birthday Party

Slip slidin' away! Addison had a huge waterslide and a hot summer day playing in tandem for a recipe that spelled f-u-n for all of the kids at her second birthday party. These kids didn't want to get off of the slide (except maybe to take a dip in the pool). Pictures can be seen here.

Aaron's Birthday Party

These kids are getting so big, so fast that it is truly amazing. Here are pictures from Aaron's birthday this summer, and these little men are turning out to be something amazing. They are a pleasure to be with, and a pleasure to talk to. They are truly gentlemen in the footsteps of their father.

Pictures can be found here.

Ana's Birthday

This was a fabulous get-together. Ana's Mom and Dad are wonderful people and fantastic hosts. Everyone enjoyed some tasty food from the grill thanks to Chris' talents. There was a lot of splashing and diving in the pool, and an long line of happy children's faces accompanied by laughter. I really like this group, the community that makes up Emily's class. Any time spent with them is a pleasure.

Thanks most of all to Vicki and Chris for inviting us. Pictures can be found here.

Peanut's 4th Birthday

Long overdue. That's all I can say about these pictures. Now that the holiday photo shoots are all delivered to everyone, I get to start concentrating on the backlog of personal pictures taken throughout 2010. There are a lot of them. It is going to be fun to get to relive those memories again as I work my way through the thousands of photos I've taken since this summer. No one event stands out more in my memory than the birthday party for our beautiful 4 year old daughter. For family that has been waiting on these, I am truly sorry these took so long, and I hope to catch up over the winter.

The images are here.

Alex is 4!

Happy Birthday to Alex, and thank you so much to Mom and Dad for inviting us to his party.  The pictures from this event are full of happy kids with big, beaming smiles.  Those images can be found here.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Mackenzie!

Not many two year old's birthday parties last 5 or 6 hours, but when it is a Barrette Party, no one wants to leave.  Kids and adults alike had a great time hanging out, catching up, and eating delicious food with fantastic company.

The pictures from the party can be found here, and if you need the password, email me.

Having fun at Hope's Third Birthday Party

Ann throws great kid parties. I suspect there is still a lot of kid left inside her. She threw a wonderful party for Hope's third birthday, and a fun and adorable bunch of kids came out to celebrate it. The pictures can be found here.

Andrew's Birthday Party

Go Carts, ATV's, waterslides, nice weather and great company were the perfect mix for another wonderful Prata family get-together this weekend, this time to celebrate Andrew's 7th Birthday. Pictures can be found here.

Rachel's Third Birthday

This weekend we celebrated Rachel's third birthday at the Children's Museum. Happy Birthday, Rachel! We had a wonderful time. The images can be found here.

Happy Birthday, Becky and Sarah!

On August 1st, a bunch of us got together at Mikie's to celebrate the 30th birthdays of twins Becky and Sarah. The pictures from that gathering can be found here. Happy Birthday to you both, ladies!

If you're trying to view these images tonight (August 8, 2009) give them a while. It looks like they should all be uploaded by around 11:45pm.

Haley's Four!

A fun bunch of kids and parents got together this weekend to celebrate the 4th Birthday for Haley. It was a great time with a wonderful group of people, and lots of smiling kid's faces. The pictures can be found here.

Happy Birthday, Peanut!

I am continuing to try to dig out from the backlog of images that I have to process, and tonight I (finally) got around to working on the images from our oldest child's 3rd birthday party. Credit for another fun event and great crowd goes to my wife. The images can be found here, and I have to apologize... I had a setting completely wrong in camera when I started taking pictures (ISO1600, for those of you that are photography-minded), so I blew it on the first dozen or so pictures.

Mason's Second Birthday

Last weekend we got together at the farm to enjoy a "construction" themed second birthday party. Congratulations to Tanya on an awesome job of decorating for the event... from Tonka Trucks full of pasta salad to hard hats to a fantastic birthday cake (kudos to Mom!) everything was well planned and quite fun.

Happy second birthday, Mason!

Happy Birthday, Michael!

A great bunch of people had a wonderful time this weekend sharing little Michael's first birthday (can I get a woohoo?). Congratulations, Michael, and thank you to Bill and Beth for having us. We had a blast, and it was really nice to catch up with everyone. Images are here.

Happy Birthday!

Mackenzie's Birthday!

I am very pleased to post the pictures from Mackenzie's First Birthday tonight. The images can be found here, and with any luck, I'll have everything completed before lights out this evening.

Maeyee and Ken, thanks for a wonderful time and congratulations on your beautiful daughter and wonderful new home. Speaking of home, it is good to have you both home now too. Welcome back!

Happy Birthday Sophia!

I jumped out of order tonight to get to a few important birthdays. First off, Sophia turned 2 and I posted images from that party tonight. They can be found here. Happy Birthday, Sophia! As you can see, everyone really enjoyed celebrating with you.

My next photography project is Mackenzie. She turned one this weekend and we celebrated her Birthday in her new home. Big crowd, great people, and a wonderful time. I hope to finish those photos this week.

Molly's First Birthday!

Here are the images from Molly's First Birthday Party. Congratulations to you, Molly, and thank you to Mom and Dad for throwing such a fun party! As you can see, the kids all seemed to enjoy themselves quite a bit. Us adults did too. Thanks for having us.
