We had a great day yesterday celebrating my Grandmother's 78th birthday. It was nice to just hang out with family, which we don't get to do often enough. We ate, the kids played {so nicely, I might add}, we ate some more, the men drank beer and the women played Apples to Apples ... which I totally lost ... it was such crap.
But I'm not bitter.
It was fun for me to be able to have some different subjects to photograph ... here are some shots my cousin's kids ... well, two of her kids, at least ...
And some shots of Chicky for good measure ... man, I am so in love with this kid ...
How in the world did I end up with no shots of Mason outside? Ei yi yi ... sorry Bubs! I didn't get any of the little ones inside either, so I guess they are even.
The older kids spent a lot of time playing outside ... they had so much fun, but it was cold! In fact, it even started snowing ... err actually, more like sleeting. But that didn't stop them from playing outside ... uh, nor did it stop the men from their beer and fire ...
Aww, her boots are the cutest!!!

ReplyDeleteThe photos are awesome. Happy Birthday Grandma!
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a fun time! Love the pics of the kids playing! Hey, I owe you a huge thank you! I've been following Kristine's blog as well as your blog, hoping to learn more about photography along with you guys! Kristine was willing to field a few of my questions, and really helped me understand a few things I wasn't quite getting! So thanks for the great networking! Keep up the awesome photos! I'll learn lots by "peeking" in on both of you!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures look great. I love the colors and the backgrounds.

ReplyDeletei love chicky's boots too LOVE THEM!
You know, I think Payton is really changing her looks! If I didn't know I was on your blog, I wouldn't even know these were pictures of Payton - these pics and another recent one of her looking out a window (I think it was titled 'dreaming'?) She just is looking really different. I think she is really losing her baby look and looking like a grown up girl!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you all enjoyed a wonderful celebration of your precious grandmother! :)
Your photography is AWESOME! I wish you'd come here and take pics of my kids!
ReplyDeleteBethany--those are awesome, awesome photos. I'm so excited for you to be involved in the calendar photography this year!!! I love the one of your neice on the slide. How did Payton do on the big girl swing, by the way?
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I love the one with your niece going down the slide. I also like your grandmothers shots.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! I just love that last one of Payton! Your kids are so cute!
