McKay and the Hot Air Balloon

 I love doing a little bit of photography whenever I can.  I have seen a few babies in hot air balloons and just loved it.  Since I don't have any babies now, I decided to adapt the idea for my little adventurer McKay. 

 I get so much personality whenever I take pictures of this boy.  Actually, always, no matter what he is doing we get personality.  

 See what I mean???

 This is one of my favorites.  I think I am going to frame it and put it in his room.

 His smile just kills me.  I love it.

 Some people came up and asked us if it was a science experiment.  Josh and I got a good laugh over that one.  McKay was thinking it would have been a good idea to put real hot air in the balloon.  

Another one of my favorites.  This was such a fun shoot!

Halloween Cookies

 Thank goodness for Halloween festivities!  We have been in the midst of crazy sports schedules and it is so good to do something else!  Decorating Halloween sugar cookies is my very favorite thing.  I love eating them as much as decorating to be honest.

 The weather has been so good that we decided to decorate our cookies in the sun room.  It was perfect.

 Very little frosting, tons of candy.  It's always interesting to see what the kids choose to do. 

 I do the same Frankenstein every year, but this year we couldn't find any candy corns...so I had to improvise.  I tried to do a bow tie that didn't look like anything, but tasted delicious!

I really love moments like this with my kids.  I am very aware that I don't have very many more years of them.  I hope I make the most of every second I have with this boys!

Boosterthon 2016

 Our boys fundraiser for their elementary school is so much fun.  They get pledges and then go and run.  There is music and the people who run it are awesome.  This is Hunter's last year doing it.  I love to see the fun signs that they all make and then they run through them.

 These kids are super into it.  They take it very seriously.

 Hunter was such a cutie and smiled at me every time he saw me taking a picture of him.  I sure love this sweet boy.

 They get a mark for every lap they run.

 All finished!

 Hunter has a really great teacher this year.  Her name is Ms. Molter and I think Hunter really likes her.

 All ready to do the Boosterthon!

 I didn't really get a picture of their poster...

 McKay didn't see me through the whole thing.  He was pretty focused.

 He was sprinting pretty much the whole time.  I am amazed at that kids' energy!

 Giving parents five.

 This si the back of their shirts that get marked off as they run.

Feeling good!  These boys did so great!
