Oh, Byron is NOT happy with me.  Yesterday was our anniversary and I made him get a colonoscopy.  They found a polyp again.  We have to wait a week to see if it was a pre-cancer polyp or not.  While at that appointment I told him he would be going to get a physical and stress test.  With that announcement he told me that was OK because he had been having chest and arm pain.

Thankfully when I left him he was checking out OK.  I just thought we should let my dad go home and get some sleep, so I cam home.  The EKG, chest x-ray & first set of blood work was OK.  Since it was going on all day off and on the doctor wanted to check his blood work again.  SO, right now he is waiting for the second set of blood work to come back.  If I had downloaded his ER pictures I’d post one, but I have to get up very soon to take Noah to swim team so I must sleep.

On another note, Noah had his first swim meet and won first in his heat.  I think he gets a ribbon tomorrow!  Very exciting!

Night!  Stay tuned for a beautiful mom-to-be!  I’m excited for this peak, but again I must sleep!

What would a photo shoot be without a silly brothers picture?!

Then again with my prop, the tiny frog!  I think they all survived being played with.

That tiny little thing on his hand is a frog!  I’ve never seen frogs that tiny, but it was great that I saw them before the boys got to the park.  Frogs are good props for boys

I love this tree and it works for boys!

We quickly ran to the beach for a nice foot picture.

We ended our session with the following series……..

First the throw down!

Then making sure mom cares

And ya gotta love the expression on his brothers face.  He did get his promised slide down the slide!  I love 2 when they can’t really explain why they are upset and they remind us moms of promies we unintentionally forget with fits.  It was very cute!  Sorry Ann, it really was

Well, we are in the car, SEVEN of us, and on the way to North Carolina.  Papa was doing great up until Thursday night.  He went down hill fast, in a coma and gone on Sunday.  One of the sweetest guys I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.  He was so loving to us.  He often told us ‘You’ll never know how much I love you.’

More later…..the battery is going out on the car internet thing.  I’ll share more pics and more about this weekend later.  We are all very sad and already miss him terribly.

And done!  Sorry the peak didn’t happen sooner!  You’ll be getting your pictures very soon though!  Thank you!

Carson just loves to be put in buckets, suit cases or just whatever you have.  ;)

Ya gotta love those legs!  He really couldn’t be any cuter!

Sorry the post is SO late!  I need to get some sleep now!  Thanks for a fun day at the park!

Is Maggie a doll or what?!  We did have to use mom as a prop for a little while.  I love this picture!

SO happy that it stopped raining so we could be outside.  It was a nice day (at least at this time).

Sweet sisters!

Olivia could not have been more excited to be outside, almost naked and in a bucket!  She was so happy there.

Well, I think this one was worth it!  I just love it!  We will always laugh about this one.

Here’s a picture of all my boys!  Are they cute or what?!  E had been sitting with Papa for a while at this point so I decided to add the others.  Love it!

Here’s my good (very good) friend, Cindy Neff (if you need a hair cut call her), cutting the oldest person’s hair that she has ever cut.  Boy did he need a trim.  She even hooked him up with an eyebrow trim.  He looks so cute now.  I’ll have to find a post hair cut picture!  Mema couldn’t be left out, so she got a trim too.

This was too cute.  E found that stethoscope on the counter and went in to check out Mema and Papa.  It was SO very cute.  Mema and Papa loved it too.  They just let him do his check up.

Then he checked himself out.

I know the picture quality might not be fantastic, but ya gotta love the pictures!

Three beautiful sisters!  Such sweet girls too!  So glad we made it before the rain came!  :)

Just got back from a wedding.  It was great that we had a few hours of no rain so we could get outside and get some pictures in.  Two crazy things happened while we were out and about.  One of the girls lost her I Phone down the sewer and then one of the guests that was hanging out with us while we were doing pictures ran through the City Garden fountain, slipped and fell face first into one of the pool/fountains.  He was wet and cold!  Sorry, no photos.  I had just caught the tail end of that trip with my own eyes, no camera.  He was a good sport about it.

So sleepy and I’m sure the boys will be joining me sometime tonight, so I must get to bed.

Seriously, is she beautiful or what!  She’s not a senior yet, but when she is I sure would love to be the one to do those senior photos!  Hint  hint

At this point it’s about to storm and he was just DONE!  What a sweet family they were!  It was a pleasure meeting you all.

I am out on a date with my husband, well, kind of.  It’s a dinner/work date.  I am finally going to catch up just in time for the start of my wedding season!  Yeah!!!  Yes, Anne you are going to see Nate’s pictures very soon!!!  Stay tuned!
