When I arrived Aiden was rolling around on the floor with the dog, they were both scratching their backs - I knew then, I would have a wonderful time with these guys!  It was lively, there was chasing, cajoling, attempted smiles (some pleading on my part, but just a little), laughter, some tears, barking and some hiding.  All pretty normal really.  But these boys are sooo scrumptiously adorable, I would have done so much more!    Ana wanted to do these for her husband who is overseas and far, far away.  I am sure they all miss him and he must miss them terribly!  And just to be realistic, there was some of this...  Ana was very tired when I left, I sure hope the boys allowed her to take a nap!  And Ana looks so good in all the pictures!  She is amazing!  I love these of Alex!  Aren't these the greatest??

There are some families that I will always love and adore - and this is one of them!  Kristen's dad called me last year to buy her a portrait session and I was so excited to do their pictures!  I have been waiting so very patiently (almost a year!) to do these!  I totally love these guys.  The boys definitely keep me on my toes and up and going all the time!  The boys were spelling out CSU in front of the Ram, so cute!  I love these!  They are such a cute couple!  Ewwwww!  Little did the boys know, I kept having them kiss because of their reactions.  I don't know if these boys know how lucky they are to have such a wonderful mom.  She once told me she put their clothes in the dryer on cold days - now that is amazing!  I tried doing it for my kids, it lasted for about a day.  I told the boys to yell out something that makes them love their mom so much, there was lots ...

Aiden was ready!  He was ready to steer his dad wherever he wanted him to go!  Whenever we asked Aiden if we could go take pictures, he'd say NO!  He was very sure that we were not going to go take pictures.  Luckily for me, he forgot.  These 2 lucky kiddos will be getting a little brother soon!  I think I may be more excited about the new baby than either of these 2, but I am sure they will come around to the little one!   You have no idea how hard it was to get this smile!  She was not in the mood to smile (partially because she ate hot Cheetos right before our session and was afraid the red would show.)  We may be a little late, but here is Aiden's Halloween costume!  Totally adorable!    He was very excited about this running around thing we were finally letting him do - not that we had a choice, he was getting a little antsy changing clothes and posing.  I think I like these ...

You may remember Pierce from a previous blog, we did 2 sessions so that he could do some with his board.  We tried to do wake boarding pictures, but it just didn't work out.  I think we still got some great pictures and it was probably better that it was later in the year because we didn't have to deal with a bunch of people in the background.  Although some boats on the water would have been great!  We did however get one boat in the background that was up on the beach. I love these with the board! The light was really awesome that day! Luckily it wasn't cold!  It has been warm, cold, hot, cold, warm here in Colorado.  And we had a warm/hot day, so perfect since Pierce was walking around in shorts and barefoot.
