I planned on getting a lot of blogging done by now, but we’ve been sick. This is day 6 (this is the longest we have ever been sick!) and trust me, we are so over this mess!
My computer didn’t want to feel left out, so it got sick too. Totally annoying, thankfully I’ve upgraded to an iPhone so I am not completely lost
I’ll be back as soon as possible blogging pictures, till then…take care and stay well!
Some Instagram pix, since I do have those on my phone….and posts are always better with pictures. I am totally in love with the black and white shot of Kennedy…

Since these were taken this family has welcome a sweet baby boy – with a headful of precious dark hair…  But here they are as a family of 3 before he arrived… Lisa is a photographer herself, so she had a few idea’s and props she wanted to use
These were taken at the gorgeous Dixie Dreams

We found a frog, Raleigh loved it!

These next two crack me up! Totally un-planned, un-posed…this is just Raleigh being silly…

Thank you Lisa for asking me to capture this special time for you! XoXo

Happy New Year to all! I hope your New Year is full of happiness and good health. May you chase your dreams, work out harder at the gym, spend more time with family and friends, relax, clean out those drawers and closets and just be

Thank you for cheering me on another year by following this blog, leaving encouraging comments and most of all, thank you to all who got in front of my camera! Seriously, Thank you.

Happy Happy New Year! Be safe.

These images of Kennedy and Bristol were taken back in September, got a lot more catching up to do in the line of blogging

It is 3 days after Christmas and I still haven’t taken my tree down. This is a first for me. I love Christmas and all the twinkle lights and decor, but when it’s over, I am ready to clean it all up, get it all out, normally… But this year is different. I am not in a hurry to get take down our tree, or the lights and greenery on the mantle….I am not ready to trash the gingerbread houses or take the santa advent calendar off the wall…instead I have loved having the lights on at night and watching the girls play with their new toys under and around the tree. Maybe this means I am getting a bit more mellow? Learning to just enjoy? Sounds good, we’ll go with it!

 Bristol Bee looking at one of her new books…

Happy Friday to all! I hope you have a safe and fabulous New Year!

May your Christmas be Merry and bright and your New Year be full of happiness…from our family to yours!

Taking pictures of my own kids – all three at the same time – is always SO hard for me… Just getting these took several hours! We had numerous breaks and snacks, the help of one Mimi and 3 neighbors…not even kidding!

That first one went out as our Christmas cards this year, and honestly, it was not at all what I was going for…oh well, I just had to take what I could get!…maybe next year will be better?! Here are some out-takes to give you an idea of just how our little shoot looked…

Opps, Tenley is missing her headband now!

Ahhhh… Merry Christmas to you ALL!

I walked in the bathroom to hurry Kennedy and Bristol up. It was first thing in the morning, I had a shoot, we had to hurry or I was going to be late. I find Kennedy using the hand towel on her hands, and Bristol? Well she was using toilet paper to dry her hands.

Why? Well, in Kennedy’s words “Mom, you told us to hurry and I was using the towel so I just told Bristol to use toilet paper!”

Oh yeah. That makes perfect sense!  In case you’ve never tried this, it does make a mess and little bits of toilet paper will be all over the place. Sticking, since it’s wet.

Ah… kids. Gotta love them and their idea’s

Instagram pictures…because I am sure not on top of things enough for a regular post

Oh it’s that crazy-busy-wonderful-time-of-the-year again! I may not be on top of my blogging these days (I always fall short on blogging this time of year), but we’ve been soaking up the season around here One thing we do every year is have “Candy Day” at my Grandparents house. I come from a large family, the oldest grandchild of 25 (that’s just on my Moms side!) and we have some of the best grandparents in the world. Really.

Since I was just a little girl (seems no one can remember exactly what year we started this tradition) but I think we’ve been doing it for 20+ years (okay, I feel old now!) We all (girls only, the boys do their thing on Thanksgiving, but that’s another blog post!) gather at MawMaw’s house and make a huge mess and a whole lot of candy. It’s our tradition. Poppa makes breakfast (sausage and pancakes – the pancakes are delicous-melt-in-your-mouth!) then we get down to the business of melting chocolate and making the goodies. At the end of the day we all load up a platter and take some home with us.

Looking around Saturday I realized just how blessed we are. We started this as little girls, now many of us have our own babies, and our grandparents still put forth the effort and time it takes to get us all together and cook for us and help us make candy. Poppa and MawMaw, Thank you. And I believe that I speak for all of us when I say that.

I really did not take a lot of pictures, but I did grab a couple…

And these Instagram shots are from my sister and my future sister-in-law (thanks Tressa and Kristen)

Love this one of me and MawMaw

Thanks for looking!

To every.single.person who got in front of my camera. Thank you. (and to those who will get in front of my camera, Thank you in advance!)

Really, I appreciate it more than words can say. I love taking pictures, and I am so thankful for your encouragement and your support. Thank YOU! I hope your Thanksgiving weekend is perfect.

In true Miscellanous Monday random-ness, I am diving right in… (ignoring the fact that I have failed to blog in several weeks… busy! busy! busy!)

CMT totally inspires me. The music, the videos, the lighting, the movement. I love it all!

The hubs and I had a date, along with several friends, this weekend. It was fabulous. It had been a long time since we’d had a date, and even longer since we’d been out with friends (and no kids)…it was time, and it was good! That was Friday night, by Saturday night I was back in true Mommy-mode, even made a quick Walmart run in sweats and crocks. Yep, if you saw me and ran the other way, I don’t blame ya!

Speaking of kids, I had a cup of water this morning and when I went back for a refill I realized I had a small teething ring in my cup! I put Tenley’s teething rings in the freezer so they will feel good on her gums, I guess one somehow got into the ice maker

Have you had time to get a picture made for your Christmas cards? If not, I am offering some mini sessions! Contact me if your interested… email: bobbiebrown5@hotmail.com You can also use a  mini session for some good pictures to give as Christmas gifts
