We had fun recently when we met up with the brother/sister duo of Grace and Clay. We met up at the park, and since our sitter had to cancel, we had our 4 kids in tow. Every thing worked out fine, and Clay, Riah, and Adin hit it off great. Good fun for them, tough for us. Clay wanted to play with our boys, and we had the fun challenge of shooting around our boys! Clay ONLY wanted to play. He was not into the whole “picture taking thing.” :) He would look at us and smile, and then say, “I’m done taking pictures.” HA!! But we are pretty good at running around and shooting. :)

Grace on the other hand was up for whatever. I guess that can be the huge difference in 5-12 year olds. We took some great portraits of her, and let me tell you- she is such a beautiful little lady!! Both these kids were just gorgeous, and it makes me wonder- How do we luck out with the most BEAUTIFUL clients to work with??! SERIOUSLY?

Meet Clay :) Isn’t he handsome?

Meet Grace :) Isn’t she BEAUTIFUL?!!

We told Clay to surf like his Uncle who we are friends with….HEY JOEL!! :)

Clay shows us the cool snail shell he found.

I love this photo of Grace.

We asked Clay about what he does to bug his sister. Engaging him in conversation was about the only way to keep this guy still.

OH I LOVE these next two photos- I want her hair. :)

Check out Mr. Handsome’s eyelashes. Watch out ladies!

Then on to the playground!!

His expressions are just priceless here. :)

FUN FUN FUN!!!! :)

Happy, Happy Birthday to my (not so baby any more) boy Adin. I can’t believe he is 6 years old already, as it seems like literally a week ago that I labored the WHOLE 4th of July, and had my first son at 1:05 am on the 5th. Now here he is, in all his mini-Brett cuteness, looking more and more like a little man by the minute. Can someone please pass me some tissues?

Somehow he managed to have more of a birthday WEEK this year. He had a joint party with Gabriel last weekend while their two Uncles were in town, and then his own pool party last night. Here are a few moments from the two parties….

Can you see what’s on the cake? My parents gave a joint present to the kids- a HUGEMONGOUS play set for the yard. Brett’s gonna have fun this week putting it together.  :)

Adin chows on cake, while Gabe eats his lactose free brownie. :)

Adin has wanted “heely’s” FOREVER. Now he can join all the other annoying kids rolling around Costco. Don’t worry, I am teaching him proper Heely etiquette.

That tongue cracks me up.

At his pool party…with his buddy Josie.

Eating some pizza, and annoying Josie. :)

Fishing….

I was in shock because he can cast perfectly!

Little brother Riah tries out Adin’s gift-a motorized boat.

Happy birthday to my beautiful 6 year old boy! My life is so much brighter with you in it Adin. :)
