Chases Birthday Cake

Here is a picture of Chases birthday cake up close and personal. I told my friend Jill I would post a picture of the cake so here it is.

Lil' Buckaroo

Oh Summer Fun. Chase did such a great job staying on the sheep and the sheep didn't even buckle this year. Wa Hoo. (I don't think it was because of his death grip around the sheeps neck.) Now he's got his mind around riding a steer for next year. Great if I let him ride a steer, I'm going to have to let Katelyn ride one to.

Katelyn in Wonderland

Katelyn, Allie, Shayla and Kristen in Wonderland. I finally got them posted. We had so much fun with this shoot. The girls really got into their characters they were perfect models. I didn't even have to direct them. They just did it and had so much fun with it. Thanks girls for putting up with my Brillant idea. Jenae of Krumpets designs made the mad hatter hat. She does such an awesome job and can brew up anything, (I mean anything) you can think up. She is so talented. Check out her fabulous headbands and other bokah here www.krumpetsdesigns.blogspot.com.

The Gangs All Here / July 17, 2010

These fugitives are considered dangerous and are on the loose. If you see one call for back-up. Do not approach on your own.

Big Boy Turned Nine In July.

I'm alive. You won't believe this but my computer CRASHED. It was a sad, sad couple of weeks until I could get up and running again. I guess it couldn't take all the pictures I've been working on. Oh well I LOVE my new computer and they were able to save all my pictures I hadn't backed up yet.

Chases birthday party was a real hit. He invited 19 friends but two couldn't come, so we had a total of 17 friends at the birthday party. CRAZY LADY is right. I don't know how I survived. I guess it was the help of Dan, Mimi, Katelyn and Alli. Yes I made the birthday cake. I was so proud of myself. A week a head of the party Chase and I watched how to frost a birthday cake on the Internet. I really learned a lot. His cake turned out so cute and I made it a few days ahead and kept it in the fridge. It stayed moist and yummy. WaHoo. They played games, won prizes, opened presents and played fugitive with quite a few Dads in the neighborhood. The kids LOVE the game of fugitive. They played it all summer long. It all started with Katelyn's party. The "Cop" drops you off somewhere away from your house then the kiddos have to make it home, in the dark, before they are found by the cop who is patrolling in the car with flash lights. You have to use your brain and a lot of stealth. It doesn't hurt if your a fast runner. I think the Dads have just as much fun playing as the kids. The party lasted about 4 hours and later that night I was asleep before my head hit the pillow.
