Photos

Robb and I went to Ryan and Liv's the other day so that Robb could help Ry frame the basement and the kids and I could have fun with Liv and the boys. Of course I took my camera and OF COURSE I had to take photos of the kids! I worked on a couple of my favorites and wanted to post them - I will post more from the day later, but these I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

Family Photos!

We finally got some family photos taken thanks to my good friend Tina Gunn who owns Gunn Photography =)

For all those OFFICE fans...

This was totally Hilarious!

Sledding!

When we were up in Creighton over Christmas the kids got to go sledding on the farm. Uncle Eric and cousin Ethan took them out to a big hill on the pasture and let them go at it...

Obviously the walk back up the hill was a little steep, but the ride down...

What a blast!



Elle and Ethan had quite a ride as you can clearly see...





Very fun!

Twelve

We have a TWEEN in the house...
Ben is 12 =)

Happy Birthday Ben! We LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE you!

We have a new niece! Jorgia Elaine Fuchtman!

Unfortunately I have no photos, but I wanted to announce that Janelle and Eric had their baby girl on Friday, October 17th.
Jorgia Elaine Fuchtman! Hopefully we will get to meet her at Thanksgiving if not sooner!

Our new nephew MAX!

He is just amazing!!! I can't believe how much he looks like John and Will =)

I hate 'ON CALL' weekends

I just want to put that out there.
Robb is 'on call' this weekend, which means if there is a fire, he gets the call to go an investigate it. Robb got called yesterday about 3:00 pm came home about 7:50pm and didn't even get out of his car before he got called AGAIN! Left for another two hours, came home with dinner from Wing Stop, thankfully had the chance to eat - about 20min - and got called AGAIN. He was out all night long getting home around 7am because while he was out he got called TWO MORE TIMES. UGH! He can't get out of the Arson Bureau fast enough...
Of course all this means that he is dead tired and can't even go to church with us this morning, because he needs to sleep while he can since you never know when that next call is going to come!

This ends the RANT - I will now return you to your regularly scheduled blogging...

I know who I'm voting for!!

School pictures... not really

The kids had school pictures this week so knowing that I wasn't going to buy them but figuring we might want some to share with friends, family and teachers I decided to take them to my 'garage studio' and take my own. I still have some work to do on my studio work but this is what the kids gave me and what I was able to do with it. I am still going to schedule my kids photo sessions with EllaBella Photography once things slow down =)





BTW - don't let the last two photos of Pete worry you - he is still a happy kid!

First Day of School 2008

First a disclaimer - we spend the previous weekend in KC and I was in NO WAY prepared for Wednesday to come as quickly as it did.
Here are my kids' first day of school photos...



Can I explain? I had fully intended to take lovely photos of my children with all their things ready to face the world and even walk into their classrooms and capture that moment of them meeting their new teachers and such, but what really happened was a mad dash out the door with no camera (I had my snapshot camera handy though) and I carelessly made appointment to get to by 9am so this was the best I could do!

I love this smile!!

Elle had a couple of teeth pulled on Tuesday - don't you think that this is the cutest smile ever???
I love that she has a little lisp now too!


Well, school starts in ONE WEEK! YIKES! I don't know if I am ready for this - Pete is moving up to middle school and then within a week of that, reaching the coveted age of 13. Too much for Mom who then turns the big 4-Oh No! a couple weeks later...

On a side note - Robb told me that his picture is in tonight's paper! I am hoping he will bring home a copy so I can see too.
