From a family session in November when the weather, unlike this week (hello sub-zero temps and snow!), was sunny and pleasant. :)

Most moms make their kids look at the camera and smile. Not me. I make mine put on crazy glasses. Smile if you want to. Or if you’d rather, stick out your tongue. That works too. :)
I decided to go DIY this year for James’ and Colin’s Halloween costumes. I let them sit on my lap at the computer as we browsed through what google turned up as “DIY Halloween costumes,” and they decided they wanted to be robots (with a little encouragement from me, knowing 100% that I wouldn’t be able to pull off this power-loader alien costume that James first picked out). It was a simple enough project that even James and Colin were able to help make the costumes which made it even more fun.


Colin insisted on pink stripes for his robot.

They only wore the “legs” portion of the costume for photos–as they weren’t super easy to get around in… :)
. . . raided my snack stash at the studio and took every last m&m out of the bag of trail mix. Probably should’ve seen that one coming.

This was our first year participating in Longmont’s Festival on Main–the photobooth was TONS of fun! Thanks for stopping by and showing us your crazy side. :) 







Thank you Pat for the behind-the-scenes iphone snaps:
This is exactly the reason why I thought boys were gross when I was a little girl. Now I’m the proud mom of two of the gross-est. :)



These photos are from early summer when James and Colin would dig up worms in the backyard for their almost-daily fishing trips. My memory? Jim and James with their lines in the lake, Colin throwing rocks in the water and scaring all the fish away while I was taking photos of the water, the bobber, my boys, the fish they caught, the clouds, (the worms they used as bait!) etc. etc. etc.
What’s your memory from summer 2010??
. . . and run one mile around the track with me–without stopping. So proud of my soon-to-be kindergartner. :)
