pumpkin patch 2015

Fall is my favorite time of the year. The weather is starting to level off (sorta), leaves are changing, sweaters (my favorite) , and of course PUMPKINS. I love them. You can eat them, paint them, grow them (well some people can grow them, as for the green thumbless i will stick to just buying them.), and of course you can hammer things into them (this is linc's favorite).  Along with loving most fall related things I love a good fall festival.  They are just good ole fashion fun. On this beautiful day we had our best of friends with us. Which made the day perfect.. Hope you enjoy the pictures of this wonderful outing. 


Sweet victoria (Lincoln's best friend)


Surprise surprise... Linc was completely uninterested in taking pictures.

Rios Family - John turns 2

"families are like fudge..... mostly sweet with a few nuts." 

I got the chance this last weekend to do a photo shoot with of some of my favorite people. The love that flows through this sweet little family is totally contagious. I can't wait to see what's in store for the future of this wonderful family. 













Ed and Laura,
thank you for letting me but a small part of your sweet little family story, if only for a little moment in time.

Lincoln age 3


This past weekend, our little boy turned 3. I can't quite believe it. He is the sweetest little soul ever, even if he says "shit" every once in a while. He loves to play games, and he actually wants us to play them with him. How can you resist when that little boy voice asks you to play with him (it comes out "play wiz meeee"). I try to say yes as much as possible. I want him to remember his parents playing with him and genuinely liking his company.  He likes tv, and I'm happy to say they are still the little kid cartoons. All the others, in his words are scary.  Tools Tools Tools..... we have tools everywhere and right now that's what his life if all about. Oh and I can't forget about golf with daddy. He asks about it all day and mommy just can't help him with any of it. So it is all up to his dear sweet daddy, and he really does a great job. They are actually outside right now as i'm writing this, playing golf. 

I am so proud to be this boys mother. I can't imagine my life without him, even with his weird corkiness about his socks. (long story for another post) I pray for him every minute of everyday that he becomes a kind, accountable, loving man someday. At this rate he is well on his way to achieving that goal, but right now he is still a kid and he is loving it.  

I am so thankful to all who came out on this very hot august day. 
We sweat, played, and had a lot of fun. I can't think of a more better day to celebrate. Linc had a blast seeing all his friends. He even got a super spiderman jump house, in which he played from 9:30 am to 9:30 pm. Let's just say he slept well that night. We all did.... 




Love this group. 


Linc and his uncle steve playing in the jump house. You know after this Uncle Steve is totally his favorite.  


Yes this is my child peeing in the back yard. Luckily the party was almost over and not many people were in the back there at the time. I guess we need to have a discussion on when and where we pee..


 Happy Birthday!!!

Being a family means you are apart of something very special. It means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life. No matter what.




































Niece and Brandon,
