I love this thing! Its small.. its light... and it gets the job done.. I have already made 41 videos of the kiddos since we got it, but this one is by far my favorite..... there will be more mini videos to come!
Here is Drew singing a mini version of the ABCs.. its crazy that 6 months ago this little guy wouldn't or couldn't even say his brothers name.. it amazes me the things he says now.. and this is the most amazing little song I have ever heard him sing.. literally!
Mark & I were looking at getting tickets for the Christmas Day showing since we didn't have anything planned that day, but we decided not to get them.. and just enjoy the day at home with us.. then a few days before Christmas we both really wanted to go.. so we were looking into tickets.. one of Mark's friends at work got tickets last minute in box seats.. and said he would see if he could get more.. the morning of.. they called us saying that they could get us tickets too.. what a exciting fun last minute treat for us!!!!! I am really glad we were in the box seating too cause right when Lighting McQueen came out.. they did small fireworks.. Garrett was sooooo scared!!!! Drew was clapping and having a good time by Little Mermaid {the 2nd part to the show} Garrett didn't start enjoying it.. from behind the glass in the room until Lion King came on {the 3rd part}, but Mark & I loved every bit of it!!!! Disney on Ice is one of my most favorite shows!!!!! This year they did a wonderful job.. my favorite was Lion King.. I loved watching Garrett's face.. and seeing him sing the music.. well and Lion King is my all time favorite Disney movie!
***Thank you so much Nigro Family for bringing us!!!!
For the last three years we have taken a family trip to The Polar Express in Williams, Az.. this by far is my favorite little trip we take.. the 1st year we went with Granny... 2nd year with Grandma & Grandpa.. then this year our 3rd year we went with friends.. what a joy to see Garrett & Drew's faces light up.. they were extremely excited to go this year and share the fun with friends! Words can't explain how much fun it was to see all their little faces when Santa came down the train to give them each a christmas bell!!
So we can go see Grandma & Grandpa!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!??!?!??!?! YES!!!!!!!! They were very excited to leave our adventurous day at Disneyland to go see Grandma & Grandpa.. we were all very excited.. it had been way too long!!!!!
I love this shot.. totally defines the bond of an older brother and a younger sister.. he is there to protect her.. and scare her all with a smile.. its great! I love these two kiddos... they have grown up so quickly into the most beautiful mini adults ever! 
We had another great year visiting Thomas with Grandpa & Sheila.. this was our 3rd year visiting.. the boys were very excited to go again.. and they had a blast watching the model trains & riding on Thomas!
So a few weeks ago.. I took my friend Carey's family photos.. as well as her Mom, Dad & two brothers... it was a lot of fun.. I am not use to that many adults though.. so actually that was a bit scary!!!!!! Here are a few of my favorites.. I don't want to give too much away since I don't know what they will use on their Christmas cards.
I love T-Ball.. I love seeing Garrett play.. I love that his skill is starting to improve.. I cannot wait for years to come watching my boys play sports.. it makes me smile!!!! Before the game last week Mark was playing catch with Garrett.. here are some of my favorite pictures.

So this past few weeks.. I have had a few friends ask me to take their family pictures.. its very exciting.. I love taking pictures of families.. its a new challenge for me.. normally I just take pictures of 1 kid.. or 2.. but a whole family adds more nervousness to it all!!!!
Here is a peek at The Brandes Family photos.. all I have to say.. is thank you candy bribes.. it makes things a lot easier.. in this picture.. Conner got what he needed to do to get more candy.. hahahhaha.. what a cutie he is!!!!!!
Thank you Brandes family for having me take your family photos... Emily its so great to have your family in our lives.. Its fun to see us grow from college buds.. to Mommy friends!!!!
My favorite picture of Garrett during game 3.. I am a bit behind on the uploading his t-ball pictures.. I have been busy taking Christmas pictures for friends.. which I love!!!!! I also love taking pictures of this cutie playing t-ball too!!!!!
What a wonderful family they are!!! Mark & Phil are co-workers.. so I met Phil & Pam when Pam was pregnant with Samuel.. then Pam & I were pregnant with her 2nd my 1st together {Malachi & Garrett 2 mos apart}.. and again with her 3rd and my 2nd {Isaiah & Drew}.. I was done after Drew, but she had her 4th Eli.. what a busy household they have.. Pam is my go to Mom when I have questions about raising boys.. she has been there done that for sure! Its been a joy to see our little babies turn into little boys running around playing together!
On top of having all boys.. Eli is now mobile.. he isn't walking yet, but he stands in place for a long time.. he is ready to chase after his older brothers.. its crazy how fast they grow!
The boys had some much NEEDED haircuts!

Drew is watching his balloon fly away after his haircut.. I love the sunglasses upside down!
I love watching this little guy play t-ball.. here is my favorite t-ball picture from last Saturday. 
Garrett REALLY enjoyed this playdate! Drew was a bit nervous about the fire trucks.. worried that they would put the sirens on.. but he still said fire house before we left our house that morning.. fire truck after the playdate.. and says & wears his fire hat every time he gets in the car! So I am pretty sure Drew liked this playdate as well! After the fire house tour we enjoyed some lunch in the park.. then playtime on the slides! It was a great day!
Its been a few weeks since this playdate, but I wanted to share some pictures from it.. it was a memorable one! The boys & I had a blast!! We are so thankful for Thursdays & the people we share them with!

{Thank you so much for making this cute little card}
The other day Garrett was wearing his Spiderman dress up outfit.. he runs upstairs to ask me "hey Mom where are my Peter Park glasses?" I had no idea what he was asking.. after a minute of thinking.. I remembered that we got this build a bear from my nephew when he was born that wore glasses.. when Garrett was 2yrs old he would come into our room in the morning wearing them.. it was pretty funny! So I grabbed them.. gave them to him.. and he ran around with the glasses on calling himself Peter Parker.
So yesterday I had my camera stuff out.. since I was taking Carter's pics.. so I decided to snap a few of Drew.. this is one of them.. I really need to get back to enjoying taking photos of my own kiddos.. that is the reason why I got into photography to begin with.. and I can't forget that!!!!!
YAY! I love that Garrett's team is the angels for this t-ball season! So much fun watching these guys play! This year.. his team seems a lot more organized.. the boys haven't gotten in crazy doggie piles over the ball yet, but it was just their first game! That might still be coming up in the future! Here are a few of my favorite shots of Garrett playing.
Seriously.. LOVE these costumes... Garrett of course picked his costume himself this year.. so I can't just dress him how I want anymore, but Drew is still letting me dress him.. so he gets to be the infamous Buzz Lightyear costume handed down from his big brother, but still these are the two most adorable little action figures ever!
Since I have known Isabel she has hosted a Halloween Party for the Mamas & Kiddos every year.. this year we decided to put a spin on it.. and call it Halloween Paparazzi Party.. what a perfect excuse to bust out our backgrounds & cameras.. to take pictures of the kiddos in costume.. what a fun day.. and look at all these cuties!!!!!! These are just a few of my favorite shots.. my boys will be coming soon! I wanted to show these off first.. their Mom's have been waiting to see them!
