Family Photos

A l-o-n-g time ago Jen had an "auction" to raise money for childhood diabetes...I ended up winning a photo shoot from Chris Jenkins Photography!!! Not only is Chris a great photographer, but I'm lucky to call her a friend these days too. We met through friends of friends, have had lunch, and run into each other at social gatherings here and there. My point is, I felt really comfortable about having her over to the house to do our family photos!

here are some of my favorites...
of course these loaded backwards - you'd think I'd have learned by now! We also went to the park...


giving my baby kisses

This girl makes the world a better place
This girl is the funnest kid in the world...yesterday at the grocery store, she randomly says to a stranger "We can't go to the festival without Toli" they looked at us like we were crazy because I was laughing so hard (for those of you who don't get it - she is quoting cartoons that she watched that morning...I don't know why it's so funny to me, but it is)



The man of my dreams, the love of my life.


"A" for AUSMAN!


Watch out - here we come!

Our Christmas card

Trouble with a capital T - she made it so hard to get family shots!
playing ring around the rosie in dress up - I could eat them up
There's a smile - one of very few that day but Chris got it!
