October is OVER???

I can't believe how quick October went by. We were crazy busy. Here's a few pictures of only some of the things we were busy with!

We went over to Yakima to attend the blessing of the newest Larsen, baby Lael. We played at the park for a while, and enjoyed beautiful weather. Kedric had a blast playing with boy cousins (he only has one on the Glauser side, and he lives in Utah). 


Here's little Lael. She's so cute and so little!

Celebrating my Dad's Big 6-0!! We had a blast seeing old friends. It was a hat party. Everyone LOVES my Dad. 


Kedric is a rascal! He's in a toddler bed, and has been for 3 months. Only recently he has decided that it's more fun to sneak in his closet and play with toys instead of go to sleep. Here he is CAUGHT!! He's dumped out all of the little toys, and obviously thinks he deserves a gold medal because that's what he put around his neck! 

He's also learned the art of climbing! Can you guess what he's trying to get here?

I watched a cute little 8 week old boy, Jalen for a few weeks. The kids loved having him around. I realized how hard 3 kids can be. Bravo to all you women who can do it. I was stressed! :)

The kids love to dance, and sometimes that's the only way I can get any exercise (if I dance with them). One day, while we were rocking out to Hannah Montana, Kedric was totally doing the "deacon shuffle," with one hand in his pocket, nodding his head and rocking from one foot to the other. Too funny. (Side note: Mothers of 5 year old girls do listen to Hannah Montana, and learn to like it! :)
Reilyn is seriously into breakdancing and calls herself a "B-girl." Here she is doing some of her freezes. 


Joel and Marta came to visit. It was Joel's Birthday, and the next day I took family pictures of them. Our kids LOVE them (we do too). Here's Kedric sleeping in Joels arms. I think Joel was liking it too! 
Carving Pumpkins! Every day when we would come home (from anywhere), Kedric had to lift the tops off of each pumpkin and say whose pumpkin was whose. 

Oh Halloween!! Reilyn and Kedric were Hansel and Gretel (they wore their Leiderhosen). I was the witch that tried to eat Hansel! :) My kids were pretty scared of me. I'm pretty scared looking at this picture of me. 
Here's a picture I took of them in my studio a couple weeks ago.


Taryn and Maizyn. Tinkerbell and Bumble Bee.
Gramma Jadeyn. (she has lipstick on her teeth)
The cute little grandkids!
Heather and Alex were Jane and Tarzan with their cute little monkeys!
Tarzan was attacking the soldier. 
On top of all of the fun we've had this month, I've been busy with Young Women's, photo shoots, creating a website, logo designs, business cards....finding out that the house we're renting (we just moved into 3 months ago) is in foreclosure because the owner is not paying his mortgage, so we're looking for a new place to live!! I realized how simply life really was in Germany, and I'm missing it! I'm glad it's November. Remember to VOTE!!

Oh man whenever you post new pictures it makes me miss you guys so much. Your Halloween costumes turned out just perfect, your kids where right you looked scary! I love the ones you caught of them dancing. Of course I also liked the one of Joel and Kedric.

Nice catch up!
Reilyn IS the next B-girl! Her freezes look great!
Glad to hear that Kedric is getting into something...that he's a normal kid (maybe Eva and Maya taught him something).
You're kids in the studio look like little German schnitzles!
Love the Halloween pictures, especially of Alex and James!

yay i love this update!! did you buy a new bludomain template or just redoing your current site? i cant wait to see it. i havent updated mine in almost a year (when i first launched it!). you should put some shots from your photo shoots on a photo blog! i love to see what everyone else is doing.

all the halloween costumes are great. i didnt recognize you! reilyn is sooo cute and talented break dancing!! love the deacon shuffle - LOL. cracks me up.

oh - the flash i got is a 430ex speedlite. i want to do a really natural indoor studio space - like maybe at mom's house against some of her nice molding/painted walls with the dark hardwood floor -- but i really want to get a softbox. what lighting setup do you use for your studio? if you get a second will you comment or email that to me? ive been asking everyone cuz i dont want to invest money until i know exactly what i will love.
