Alexis is 15!!

 So, my "little" sister turned 15 two weeks ago.  Where has time gone?!!

Anywho, Hannah got her all dressed up, curled her hair, did her make-up, etc. and then we did an impromptu photo session in the yard.

Enjoy some pictures of my gorgeous sister...and a few with her friend, Jaime!

 Oh and for many reasons, none of these pics have been edited in any way.  They are SOOC (straight out of the camera)!!

Now some pics with her best friend, Jaime:

P.S. - Is anyone else loving this amazing Fall weather?!  I sure am!!

My Little Brother

I have this little guy that I really, really love.  He's mischevious, way too cute, and has the biggest, and best, smile I've ever seen! :)

Meet my brother:

Yes, I also have 7 other siblings who are the best in the world...but today, this post is about my youngest sibling, Judah. :)

Really...how can that smile not light up your day?

My oldest sister, Hannah, was reading Judah a book last week and he would close the book, then Hannah would tickle him and get these smiles out of him. :)  I was sitting at the computer doing something and I had to pick up my camera and capture his little chubby cheeks!

I'm not sure why little ones seem to grab you so strongly...maybe it's just because they're so tiny...

...or always have a way of getting into things and upsetting you one second and then making you want to whip them up into your arms and give those cheeks a big kiss in the next. :)

 Maybe it's the wonder they hold in their eyes as they discover something new.

Or it could be that they smile so easily?

Maybe it's his blond hair...

...or big, blue eyes.

Whatever the reason...

...this little guy...

...is oh, so precious to me!

Baby Cameron

Ever since my Uncle, Sean, got married, we've wondered what it would be like to see him as a Daddy.  Uncle Sean has always been the fun, silly guy who keeps everyone smiling.  Well, a month or two after getting married we heard that Aunt Amanda was pregnant!  We were so excited and 9 months seemed to be forever! :)  Well, the day finally came and little Cameron came into the world on 10/1/11!  Exactly a week later, Mama and my siblings, Hannah, Lexi, and Judah (along with myself) went to take them some food.  And, lucky me, Uncle Sean asked if I would bring my camera along to get some pictures of Cameron! :) :)  

Here are some of my favorites!

Aren't they a beautiful family?

Uncle Sean makes Aunt Amanda smile...a lot! :)

 

So sweet! :)

 Nope...Uncle Sean definitely hasn't lost any of his humor! :)

(Cameron's imitating his Daddy in this photo!)

Look at his little yawn!!

Neat fact:  Cameron is wearing the outfit that Uncle Sean wore when he was brought home from the hospital!

Baby cries are so precious!

(When I said this Uncle Sean replied, "Well, I'll call you at 2 A.M. and let you hear that 'precious' baby cry!" :)

:)

 I don't think anyone can ever tire of the tininess of a newborn!

Baby feet!!

 Can everyone say a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e.?

One last photo of the little family:

The End!

Hannah's 17th Birthday Portraits

My lovely sister, Hannah, turned 17 years old yesterday!!

Two days ago my cousins, Kaitlyn and Sarah, were over and Kaitlyn decided to straighten Hannah's hair.  (Not an easy task, if you've seen my sister's voluminous amounts of hair!! ;)

After over an hour of straightening, Kaitlyn and Lexi dressed and "beautified" Hannah. :)  Next, of course, came the pictures! :)

I have a slight obsession with Hannah's eyelashes...they are so long! :)

 So pretty!!

This is Hannah's genuine, all-natural smile. :)

The big bay window in our room made for some beautiful portraits! :) :)

We call this the "model look." ;)

It was lots of fun posing Hannah and laughing with her throughout our mini photo-shoot.  Kaitlyn and Lexi were great helps to me in holding up backgrounds and keeping Hannah laughing (which isn't hard to do :).

It was Kaitlyn's idea to put our green avocado plant behind Hannah for some of the pictures.  The plant added a nice, natural touch! ;)

Isn't she pretty?! :)

What's even better about Hannah is that she's even more gorgeous on the inside!!  She has a huge heart for the people around her and she loves Jesus Christ so much!  She daily demonstrates efficiency and kindness in our family and loves helping Daddy with anything he needs.  From the Master Chinese Chef in our family to the first person up every day, she quietly leads by example.

I will never, ever ask for a better older sister...because there is none to be found.  I love you Hannah and wish you a wonderful yet belated 17th birthday!
