ok, so- i made a new friend today.... and would have loved to take her home with me though i think her big sisters and maybe mom and dad and boots the cat may have had something to say about that... but we had fun... they even had some new baby kittens.... so sweet!
so, these super cute girls are one of my sister's classmates kids- we had a ball hanging out at their grandpa's farm and going creekin.... (is that really even a phrase or just what we used to say?) anyway there were loads and loads of rocks to skip- i think it was the same creek that we used to walk, bike, 4 wheel down to and hang for hours.... oh memories.
so, i got to see my cousin and photograph her little boy and nephew who were born just days apart- oh my, were they so cute- i can only imagine how much fun..... or trouble.... that they will enjoy as they grow up! :) who knows maybe they'll even dress up and perform crazy plays at family events and pray nobody finds the tapes 15 years later.... hmmmm......
ok, so there was this old barn that my dad said his grandpa or great grandpa helped to build. it had wooden pegs for nails and inscriptions dating back to like 1890 or something. anyway, it used to be on a farm a few miles away where one of my cousins now lives, but a few years ago they divided it into pieces and moved it down the road, ducking under telephone wires, dodging bridges, etc... to my parents home...which is quite the story in itself... so the goal of the shoot was to get some photo's of my cousin's children around the barn since it was them that lived there.... i don't know if they could be any cuter....
these girls. They were so sweet and DEFINITELY had been photographed before as they were posing up a storm, it was hysterical. When we left we had fresh flowers and all... so sweet!
so i picked up my niece alexa and we went and photographed one of her classmates little sister... who was so cute and so, so happy! It was a big night for alexa as i learned it was her big 5th grade skate party.... she was a bit nervous when she realized that she might not have a ride there- but she did make it and even got asked to couple skate...oh my, what's next?
so we met up at the new bern park to let the kids play before our class reunion.... so fun- our class has some pretty cute kids if i must say so myself! :) We had just over half of us show up - 8 out of 14.... talk about a trip down memory lane...a good time was had by all! :)
