Hanging with my BFF's

I love hanging out with my best friends, Katy and Alicia. We always have a great time. I am really lucky to have such wonderful friends that are like sisters to me. It is fun to see how far we have come together over the years and to see where we are going. They are always more beautiful every time I see them.

My little Liam hanging out at the hotel. We had a good time in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Jake and Alicia cheesing it up for the camera!!! What a touching moment. They are usually fighting like cats and dogs!!!

Show those guns Scottie!!! (Katy's hubby and cute little Chloe)

Chloe was having a blast in the pool.

Hot Tub!!! Relaxing.

Beautiful Sadie

Beautiful little Sadie. This is my best friend Katy's little girl Sadie. She is so adorable, just like her older sister Chloe. I was so excited and thrilled to meet her. She is so sweet. Congratulations Katy and Scott.

Liam's Photo Shoot

I decided to have a photo shoot with my little Liam. He smiled so well, so well that his little cheeks hurt all day. I'm a little rusty on my composition, but for the most part I think they turned out cute.

Neighborhood Gang

Here they are, the neighborhood gang. Always together, always out and about running from one yard to the next, in one house out the other. Trinity (in the red), Riley, Liam, Canon (in the middle), and Coby. They are a good group of kids, but boy do they have a lot of energy.

This is usually how they are!

The boys! Playing legos as usual.

Fun Run

Liam got to take his good friend Hailey to Fun Run. They had a blast playing on all of the blow up slides, bouncy houses, and little town. They always play really well together and chat up a storm. It is so fun to watch the two of them together. I hope they will remain friends for many years to come. Hailey is such a sweet girl.

This was their favorite slide.

Lots of pictures, but they are just so cute I couldn't resist.

Snoozing

Liam and Jarjar Beans taking a snooze. They are best buds. It is so sweet how much they love each other. Liam calls him his furry brother.

First Day of School!

Liam woke up in a great mood for the first day of school. Little Liam started Kindergarten August 17th. Of-course we had to get a picture with Jazz and Jarjar before we could start our day.

Liam requested a special breakfast to start out the first day. So I did a portrait of him out of pancakes. Pretty good, right? What a way to start the day.

It really does look like him!

It was a rainy first day. Normally Liam walks to school with is Daddy, but this day was a mess. Liam didn't seem to mind. He happily posed for one of many pictures outside his classroom that day. He had his new Transfromer backpack and lunch box.

Here is where it went all down hill. Poor little Liam was a lot more upset than I expected him to be. He didn't want us to leave him the first day. I was doing fine until he cried a little and kept saying, "Good bye Mommy, Good bye Daddy." It about broke my heart. However, I am happy to report that I didn't cry until after we left the room.

Jake was trying to cheer him up.

My little Kindergartener! He is going to have such a great year and so much fun in Mrs. Roeder's Class!
