Teaser: Meet Cray!

Little Cray just turned one last week and I finally got the chance to do a photo session with him! He looks just like his daddy, who taught me algebra back in 8th grade. Cray is such a happy kid and his parents are the sweetest! We had some fun running from park to park yesterday. It turns out that Cray loves balloons, eating everything off the ground, and bananas (more on that soon!)

First, just look at those amazingly blue eyes!

2 Weekends, 2 Graduations

I have been completely slacking lately with this blog. Sorry about that...

My sister and I graduated a week apart from each other and celebrated with a joint party last Saturday. Of course, we have pictures to document the festivities!

May 9th: My Graduation

Yes/No/Maybe? Well, anyways, I got home from my LAST exam ever *yay* and I see Bradley with lovely yellow pretties:

While I'm at it, I'll show you some pictures of Jezabel (my build-a-bear) and her new outfit:

Yep, that's right, my build-a-bear is going to match me on Saturday! Her tassel is even white like mine!

*Side note: Don't worry Jacque, I'm working on your pictures right now...my computer is just really really slow!

Teaser: Mother's Day Photos

I got to take some pictures of Jacque, her siblings, etc. on Saturday for a Mother's Day present!

We'll start with a picture of everyone: Jacque, Brian, Ethan, Jamie, Buddy, & Aden
Photobucket

The next picture was kind of a re-creation. I wish I had the original pictures to show you, but Jacque, Jamie, & Buddy's mom took a couple of pictures of them when they were younger in the same order on this rock.
