birthday.

  birthday in a nutshell.

it was great.

i got spoiled by all my people.

now i am old.

witches.

 so every year me and my mama go to the witch fest in garner village.

and each year we add to our cuteness/costume.

this year we added my baby kitty. 

because every witch as you know needs a black cat.

 im glad we snapped some photos before because it got dark.

then i ask random strangers to get pictures for us and it's just not the same.

pumpkin party.

 so for the past five years each october.

we have a pumpkin party.

avery was very excited haha.

kidding, but doesn't he look so cute.

 we do this goofy new thing with our cheeks.

i think it has something to do with his teeth.

 then avery decided to be precious and clasp his hands.

 and as you can tell we are teething.

thus the snotty baby face.

 my little guy is just so cute.

  actually both my guys are just so cute.

 pumpkin party includes:

best friends.

pumpkin roll bowls.

carving pumpkins.

and pumpkin treats.

 also brooks loves avery.

it's very cute.

my beautiful steph.

 treg is getting married so soon!

 and now i will post one million pictures of my child in a pumpkin.

cuz how could you not.

 then the babies got ready for bed.

 haha this may be a rare moment.

but it was very cute.

pumpkinland.

 so one day we went to pumpkinland.

as preschool teachers we use to go every year.

and now with our own kids we decided it was a good idea.

 mister brooks.

 little lady anabelle.

 one day they will be best friends.

 i love my friends. 

i am so happy we worked together all those years ago.

and have stayed close.

they are such good mama's.

i always have someone.

 kristi, june and anabelle.

 amy, brooks, and remi.

 i think i took more photos of their kids.

 after all they might have enjoyed it a little more than avery.

but it was great.

oh pumpkinland.

henry.

 so my chelsie in law had a baby.

we love him.

henry joseph mccarty.

she asked me to take newborn photos.

which i don't have a ton of experience with.

but was honored. 

she was very prepared with ideas and props.

i was just the lady with the camera. 

anyways i'll share a few of my favorites.

 i can't get over his little face.

perfect little baby lips.

 and the toes come on!

i feel like he is just so sweet.

 im so glad to have babies so close together :]

it's gonna be the best.

and here's the beautiful mama.

we have come so close being sister-in-laws.

i have never had sisters and am grateful for our friendship.

kyler and chelsie are already amazing parents.
