Peanut's Gymnastics Exhibition

This little girl just makes me more and more proud every day. Saying that I love her is a huge understatement. Here is her gymnastics exhibition from this summer.

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.

Pot Luck Dinner

May 23, 2010.  Emily's classmates and their families gathered for a wonderful combination of great company, wonderful children, perfect weather, and delicious food.  This is a truly fantastic group of children.  Images can be found here.

Andrew's First Communion

In my attempt to get caught up on the thousands of personal images that I've been wanting to process, I've finally landed in the month of May.  And with May came Andrew Jr.'s First Communion.  This handsome man is my God Son, and I'm quite proud of him for his accomplishments, his intelligence, his creativity, and his fortitude.  The pictures can be found 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.

Easter Egg Hunt

Thank you to Sawyer and his Mommy and Daddy for inviting us and a bunch of other families to their house for an AWESOME Easter Egg Hunt.  The Sawyer's really outdid themselves with tons of great food, lots of fun games, and about a bajillion Easter eggs per child.  We literally ran out of places to hide them, and just started scattering them around in the open.

Thanks again... it really was a fantastic time.  The 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.
