Lily's Art Extravaganza!

I had the privilege of taking pictures of my sweet friend Brooke's little girl at her 7th birthday party! Lily is an amazing girl ... so creative, smart, adorable, fun, and super loving! No surprise, she gets all of those qualities from her momma and daddy! This party was absolutely AMAZING!! The planning that went into this event ... oh my!!! Brooke is so talented! The party went off with out a hitch and everything ran so smoothly! The kids had a BLAST, no doubt! Happy Birthday Lily!! Can't wait for next year!! (you better believe the planning is already in the works!)

You can check out more pictures and read all about the party HERE
on Brooke's blog!

Here is some of what I captured at the party ...





Beautiful birthday girl!

Picnic in the Park

Adam was able to take the day off on Friday, so we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather! Oma packed a picnic for us, we found a great little park, and we enjoyed the afternoon outside! We had so much fun exploring the park and the trails ... we found a historic bridge built sometime in the early 1800s, it was really neat! I have a feeling we will be revisiting this park often. Not only did it have a great playground for Gabe, it had trails, a pond, a nice basketball court, and a sledding hill!!








LOVE my boys!!


Gabe had so much fun swinging! I can't wait to take him back!






Fall is by far my favorite season of the year! There are so many things I love about it, but my most favorite is probably the cooler, crisp air! ... and the beautiful colors, our anniversary, Halloween, the start of the Holidays, football and chili, my birthday ... the list goes on and on!




The Old Bridge

(if you haven't noticed already, I have a bad habit of only taking pictures in the "portrait" position ... it is a habit I am trying to break, but it really takes a conscious effort on my part! I'll try harder ...)

Anderson Orchard

We made our first visit of the season to Anderson Orchard last weekend! This was Gabe's first time to go ... he LOVED it! Nanny D, Grumpy, Oma, Opa, Auntie Karey, & Cousin Cooper joined us! Gabe and Cooper had so much fun playing around and munching on apples! We can't wait to go back for more fall fun!




I love a basket full of apples!








Whatcha got in the bag Grumpy?!




Yummy! Apples!!








Mmmmm ...


I lost count of the number of apples Coops ate! He loved them!


So cute!
