Happy Jack!

Brian took us to a local fishing area called Shady Lakes

Ethan had a fun time reeling them in

Amber, what happened to the salmon eggs?



They stock the ponds here very well so you're guraranteed to catch something

This was taken on Ethan and Amber's 3rd Birthday- I think I forgot to post pictures of that back in June! They are going to be Mickey and Minnie for Halloween this year.



Cute Newborn Pictures!

My sweet friend, Michele Staples, came over when baby Lia was 5 days old to do a newborn photo session for us! What an incredible gift, I absolutely love these pictures and she put them on a dvd for me, so I made an announcement for my 5th child. Never mind that my first through fourth children didn't get officially announced or photographed so sweetly as newborns, but oh well, here's the announcement I designed for baby Lia. BEWARE....seeing photos like this in other friends' baby announcements is what got me all crazy and wanting another baby...so don't look too long, you never know what might happen!

If you are in the ABQ area and would like to see more of Michele's Staples work, friend her on Facebook or visit her blog http://www.livilanephotography.blogspot.com/

Thank you, Michele, I love the pictures!!!!
