Hello again! Blogging two days in a row… I know you are starting to get excited! Well, this is an exciting post so I am glad you are already excited!

As you can see from the title of the post, my sister is engaged, and since this is so late in getting on the blog, she is also already married! But those pictures will be up in the near future! So, Randy (my sister’s man) set up a whole evening at the ball park (The Allentown Iron Pigs) for him and Casey. Randy had secretly set up to have us all at the park, me (Lindsay), Michael, my parents, Casey’s daughter Katelin, Randy’s parents, and Randy’s daughter Kaylyn. (Yes, they now have daughters Katelin and Kaylyn… and they have the same birthday… weird…glad I don’t live in that house… it is confusing enough when they all come to visit!) Anyway, Randy had also arranged for the ‘Kiss Cam’ to come over to him and Casey in between the 3rd and 4th innings. But instead of it being the ‘Kiss Cam’ it said ‘Will you marry me?’ How cute is that! So, Casey and Randy got engaged on June 4th and married on July 10th! A 5 week engagement! We had a blast planning her wedding and I can’t wait to show you all of those pictures too! On to the ‘engagement pictures’!

My cute parents!

There it is on the big screen! It is a little hard to see but it says “Casey, will you marry me?”

She said yes!!

I don’t remember exactly what this says, something about Casey and Randy and happiness…

Then we watched some great fireworks… that we like to think were for Casey and Randy’s engagement… and we are going to keep thinking that! haha

Ayla and her family

July 19, 2010

Oh goodness! Since I haven’t blogged since June and we have been super busy there will be lots of updates coming up!

Today we have new pictures of our favorite little girl, Ayla! We took pictures of Ayla and her family, as an update for them since she is two years old now! We have been photographing Ayla since she was a baby and we love her and her super cute personality! We also get to baby sit her every once in a while and that is fun as well! But Michael will tell you that is just my ‘Baby Fever’ speaking!

Enough about me and wanting babies… on to the pictures!

We took Ayla’s pictures at Heckler Plains Homestead and we were so excited when we pulled up and saw the giant hay bales!

Based on the comments Jen got on the pictures on facebook, this one seems to be a favorite! I will tell you, it is a favorite in my book too!

The Taylors

June 14, 2010

A few weeks ago we got to meet up with our Pastor and his family to take some family pictures. After seeing the newest picture he that he had in is office was from when the littlest was about 2, I knew we needed to do something. Frank and his wife are always an encouragement and an open ear for us so we really loved being able to update their family photos!

So, on to the pictures! Apparently, these kids have super sensitive eyes… it really wasn’t that sunny but we still got a bunch of squinty eyes! haha

We made sure to get one of each of the kids alone. Michael got the boys and I took the girls. We found some pretty flowers to hold while Michael sent the boys into the woods!

The Barbrows

June 11, 2010

You may remember this family from older blog posts and they are back again! Their little guy is 18 months now! He is getting so big! It feels like time has flown since we first took his new born pictures so long ago!

I so love this one on the left. Look at that huge grin on Noah’s face! So happy!

Noah has the cutest expressions. We let Noah play with a few sticks (probably at the terror of his mom) and this one broke, here Noah is giving it back to me!

Barbarow2010-019

Like I said, Noah has the cutest expressions! Love these two!

barbarowblog2

Hope you enjoyed these few of one of our longest clients! Noah, you are too cute!

Can you believe three posts in one week? Whoa!

Maybe one more family to blog, but I might just post it next week because they are on vacation and they won’t see it!

Happy Friday!!

Sadie

June 9, 2010

Dear Blog Readers- I would love to introduce you to our little girl. Her name is Sadie and she is all warm and cuddly. Ok- truthfully, she is only cuddly when she is half asleep but we love her anyway!

If you have been following us for over a year, you may remember this post about how much I wanted a puppy. Well, in late march of this year, right before Michael’s birthday to be exact, we welcomed this little girl into our home and she has been a blast from day one! These pictures are from when she was 3 and a half months old, I will post newer ones soon, she has grown so much in the past few months!

Michael likes to say that her name came from the Reliant K song, Sadie Hawkins Dance but I am not sure if I am willing to admit to that, although it is really cute when Michael sings that song to her! haha I really thought Sadie was going to be an original name, but after telling people the name we picked, it turns out it is more popular than we thought! Oh well, we still love it and it fits her!

This is one of my favorites of Sadie, she is so curious, and if you look closely you can see that her one eye is blue!

Sadie-33

Here she is sitting on the sofa with her favorite toys. For about a month and a half we could keep her on the sofa because she was too scared to jump down. Not anymore. She is a great jumper now and loves to jump on and off the sofa when ever she pleases. I think this is kinda like when your baby learns to crawl. All of a sudden she wouldn’t stay where I put her!

Sadie-27

This is about the only time that we can get her to be still, unless she is sleeping.

Sadie-8

Love this last one of Sadie and Michael. This was right after her first bath at our house. Ugh. She is so cute I can’t stand it sometimes!!

So, I finally got my puppy and I love her soooo much! She is a doll, and already house trained at 6 months! What more can I ask for? We are so excited, in a few weeks we are having our pictures taken by April Ziegler a fabulous photographer who also has a Boston Terrier! Michael got me the pictures for our anniversary and I can’t wait to see them and they aren’t even taken yet! I know April will do a fantastic job, make sure to check out her work!

Anyway, that is Sadie, I know you were all waiting to meet her! I will post new pictures soon, she will officially turn 6 months on June 19 so maybe I will post them then!

Have a great Wednesday!
