Photographs

seldom looked into." ~Ansel Adams

if you use black and white, you will show the color of their soul.

the photographer and the viewer. ~Ansel Adams

Happy Halloweeny!

We had a Kid's Halloween Party on Sunday afternoon. Here are a few pics from it, Braeden is a vampire and Brooklynd is a bat...there costumes turned out cute! They had a good time with all the kids and we had some fun, yummy ghoulish treats! Braeden keeps informing me that he loves his friends!! He is such a crack up!




Lee Farms...Pumpkin Patch!

We all went to the pumpkin patch this morning with the exception of my dad. We took a hay ride, picked out pumpkins to carve, the boys road in a little ferris wheel thing and Braeden rode on a pony! Here are a few pictures from our adventure....
