NINE months!!!


Rylie has such a pretty smile!

Pretty girl
Trying to grab some grass to eat...YUM!
She doesn't mind the feel of grass
This is her 'so done taking pictures' face

Tanner always makes goofy faces

Doesn't he look like one of those models from 'The Children's Place' adds??!
My favorite of him.


Trying to get both of them to look at me & smile is HARD!!!

Another try....
The PERFECT picture!! I love it!

ok--I admit I haven't post every milestone on my blog like others do, but that's because they sneak up on me & fly past, then BAM!! It's another month gone by! it's so crazy! I can't believe that my baby is NINE months old!! That's not too far from 1 year! I am not ready for my baby to be one yet! I still can't get over the fact that Tanner is 4 1/2!!! What the crap?!
For those of you who don't know...it has always been my dream to be a photographer. Especially after my terrible wedding pictures!! I guess i thought that you have to have a degree to be taken seriously, so my plan was to go back to school after Russ was done. But! I have found out that just as long as I have a good portfolio there is no reason why I can't just do it!! So I have been reading photography books and remembering what I learned in my photo classes that I took in school. And feel I have the knowledge that most photographers do. And I will probally take classes when I can to learn more! But for now I'm just trying to get better!! And I think I'm not doing too bad! What do ya'll think??
Well--things are starting to get really crazy! And still very stressful! We have planned our move now. Our moving truck is coming on the 21st. And I think we'll be outta here on the 23rd or 24th. Russ is going to drive by himself towing his car behind mine straight to Seattle, the fly to Las Vegas!! And I am flying straight to Vegas!!!! Yea baby! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas right?? Actually, Aron (russ' bro) lives there and his parents, and stephie's clan are going to be there, oh yeah, Brian & Kelly too! So we didn't want to miss out on the fun! That and went to Vegas before to came to Pittsburgh, so we thought it is only right that we go after Pittsburgh!! And we desperatly need a vacation! We haven't had one in YEARS!!! Well-that's all we know now, we're trying to decide where to go in WA, we have a few choices...so we will let you knwo when we know something!

Yay! (How happy do YOU sound?) I'm thrilled for both of you. Scott's been in the Seattle area this week and called to tell me how GORGEOUS it is. I can't wait to find out where you guys end up.

Your photos are, as always, lovely. And Rylie looks JUST like Tanner in those pictures. Good thing she's wearing pink...how'd she get to be nine months old, anyway?

Hooray for Washington! Perhaps if you are close enough I'll "let" you practice your photography skills on our family (since I HATE the one family picture we've had taken). :)

Your photos are great! OF course it can't be that hard to get great photos with such beautiful kids! I cant believe how much Rylie has grown up!
