HALL-OOOO-WEEEEEEN!

Ryan and I went to a Halloween party that we got invited to and it was awesome! We dresses as punk rockers. The girls had a blast at their school parties. Ryan and I got to come up with a fun Halloween game for Emily's class. Then as they do every year they have a school parade around the building showing off their costumes. 
Emily was a cat, Avery was a Doctor and Madisen was Mattie Hatter (Two weeks before Halloween  we found the costume that she wanted at a yard sale! It was a little big on her but that is exactly what she wanted to be for Halloween so we made it work. :)

Happy Halloween!!!

The Adam's Family...


This is the Adam's Family. They are one of our closest friends here in Twin Falls. We hang out with them a lot, even though we have three girls and they have three boys. They are a fun family. I was asked by Carolyn if I could take their family pictures. OF COURSE! I have been wanting to get into photography. And what better way to start than to take pictures of a family. They were great to work with. Although, they are not even close to professional pictures I think they turned out decent enough for Christmas cards. Which is exactly what they used them for. Here are a few of my favorite:













Cute family, huh?



Posing for Mom

I was asked by our good friends in our ward if I would take their family pictures for their Christmas cards. I had told them I would months earlier as I wanted practice. However, I haven't used my camera in a few months so I needed a refresher on how to do a few things again like the flash, lighting, shutter speed...etc. So I had Madisen pose for me outside an hour before I had to leave to take pictures of this family. 


 Too Dark...



Too Bright and Blurry...





Closer....

Perfect...



 Madisen is such a fun sweet girl. Glad I could capture a little of her personality in these pictures. Love you Madisen!

So many missing teeth...

Our kids are losing far too many teeth around here. It's been like once a week for over 2 months! What's the deal?! They don't all have to fall out at once! The Tooth Fairy has been at our house a lot. She definitely knows where we live. Hopefully she is still able to make it to other kids' homes.  ;)
