A Birthday Post in Pictures

May 9th, 2010

Or rather, birthdays!

Both Evan and Nate’s birthdays were in the early part of April…and we just had their party last week. :-) A little late, but definitely worth the wait! We took the whole day off and carpooled to a beautiful State Park, spending our time doing outdoors activities and having a blast.

Not shown in the pictures was our adventures at the playground there! Yes, we’re all older than 13 and still, we have fun with playgrounds. The swings and old fashioned merry-go-round were the best! Gotta love those. :-)

Happy [really, really belated] birthday boys!

Thank you to everyone who kept us in their prayers and came out to see us tonight! We had a great time. God is so good!

A Simple Equation

May 3rd, 2010

Pretty pink blossoms on a tree,

+ photogenic nieces

(not to mention perfect overcast lighting)

+ crazy Aunt Kasie behind the camera

= photo time!

I experimented with a bit of portrait shooting with my brother’s camera

Don’t you just love taking pictures of willing models? :-D

And then I thought it was my turn…

Everyone knows by now it’s tradition to get a couple of self portraits for the day!

Signing off,

Weekend Snapshots

May 1st, 2010

(from last weekend. Oops! I’m so behind)

Somebody turned the big “1″…

Somebody turned 13 – two special numbers this year!

We saw Emily play the part of Jane Bennett in a Pride and Prejudice musical, and visited with her family afterwards (Angie got into the spirit of things and dressed up for the performance).

We visited with a dear family we hadn’t seen in a long time…

…and got a little silly…

I think Josh took a cue from our examples;

:-D Have a happy weekend!
