it's my birthday...

...and i can cry if i want to. but i won't, because i am a big boy now! here is mister cole, my friend katie's son. i am loving these blue eyed little boys. cole was very interested in checking out his surroundings, wasn't sure what to think of being out in this long grass...? we started off with 5 orange balloons and in no time had ONE. every time the wind would blow it would pop one on the grass! there was a lot to choose from for this little cutie but here is a couple of my faves. enjoy your little man katie & brian!

go yankees!

oh yes...the team greg is coaching got the red sox for a team name!! the ONLY team greg (i will say) "highly dislikes"! too funny. and it's only t-ball so he ok with it. but whenever trey's team plays, the real yankees seem to lose?!?! is it an omen? so today, trey has a game at 1pm. and the real yankees play the real red sox at 1pm....? 

but aren't trey & gracie dang cute in their uniforms? 

ol' blue eyes

i got to take photos this last weekend for my friend elizabeth & her cute family. their little boy turned one! such a big milestone (for the parents too!)...one is such a great age. just starting to walk and figure things out but still loves you to death and can't talk back yet :-) everyone says times goes so fast and before ya know it your kids are grown up and off to college. so i hope times slows down a bit and you have these photos to remember your cute little blue eyed boy! i loved so many but narrowed it down to these six...

doesn't she look good in ORANGE :-)

mister b

let the games begin...

baseball starts this saturday! cam is doing AA again trey will be doing t-ball! that should be quite comical to watch. :-) i love cam's uniform color this year. his basketball shirt this year was this wretched cream/brownish color (ick) - just not flattering on anyone, so i was excited when he got this Royals blue! makes for much prettier pictures. he could care less of course. and just WAIT till you see what team trey is!! if you know greg, he is MORTIFIED, and he's the COACH! any guesses?? (hint: navy & red)

he's walking!

drake is walking! he's so darn cute in his little vans. he loves being able to hang with the big boys now and is obsessed with BALLS! my boys are so good with him that it makes me wonder if they would like a little brother??? (nah...i'm sure the fun would wear off quickly!)...

walking to mommy gina!

his first love (basketball, like his big brother gavin!)

no we're not homeless...

...it just looks like it! trey and i had an hour to spare so we went on a little drive to find these abandoned gas pumps that i always see from the freeway but had no idea how to get to them. it was cold and sprinkling but i love the look of them...

orange ya glad i didn't say banana?

can you tell i've been dying to shoot something?? (with my camera, not a gun)...that i've reverted to taking pictures of oranges? the oregon weather has not been doing what i'd like, so i thought these lovely oranges would make nice models today (they were great by the way - so bright & cheery). yesterday was gas pumps. i'll post some of those next. what will tomorrow be?? (maybe bananas: B-A-N-A-N-A-S)?

perfect setting

i did a little photo shoot for my friend drissana and her family while we were in maui - what a setting!! everything is so beautiful and warm...her boys were the best ever, perfect smiles in every shot (why can't my kids be like that??)...
