My sister and I were excited for our Friday night out with the boys. Grandma came too, which was nice because it gave me time to snap some awesome pics. These boys are a hoot!
Will loved to sit on the contraption where the balls come back up. According to my calculations, he sat there 87% of the time 
James didn’t quite get the whole ‘turn’ thing. If he didn’t want to bowl, we’d go for him, but then out of the blue he’d grab a ball (a 7 pound ball, mind you). He’d start walking to top of the lane saying ‘heavy, heavy.’ James was thrilled every time he threw the ball down — he’d jump and cheer, never looking back at the ball 
Will beat us all.

Ok, I know I’m a week late on this one….
James (the younger nephew) has been feeling sick lately. He wouldn’t sleep through the night. One minute he’d be fine, and the next one he was doubled over on the floor crying. James hardly ate, even if candy or sweets were offered. He was only fine when he was held and cuddled, especially when his grandma (my mom) rubbed his tummy.
When he came to my Studio Opening this weekend he still wasn’t back to his usual self, but he was doing better. In fact, he was excited to eat one of the cookies I had out for my guests. I had some special M&Ms I bought down at the M&M Store in Vegas that were in my colors. I got James’ attention, pointed to the M&Ms and he immediately jumped out of his daddy’s lap. I thought he’d race to the bowl straight away. But first, he ran over to where the cookies were, reached up, and carefully placed his cookie back (don’t worry, we took it off the plate) and then he ran over to the candy bowl. It was so cute!
Will (the older nephew) is simply darling and is the sweetest boy I know. He has been such a good brother when James would cry non-stop last week. I truly admire his love and patience. He was so excited when he came to my studio on Saturday because he had his own pack of bubble gum. I shared in his enthusiasm and then forgot about it. At one point, he left with his dad to go check out some of the other art and when he came back, he had in his hand a piece of Bubblicious gum he grabbed from the car. He began unwrapping it for me. It melted my heart!
Turns out that James crying at some point during egg decorating is becoming a tradition.
This is James trying out the easter egg dye, which was made with vinegar. He thought it was funny how we were laughing at him, so even though it tasted gross, he loved it!

Last Friday, I had my nephews come over to build a snowman with me. James was so excited — after he had his snow clothes on, he tried running around, but kept tripping and running into things (picture the younger brother on A Christmas Story, but not as bad).
Will and James were so stinkin’ cute! They kept throwing snowballs at me while I was rolling our snowman together. And they were eating snow like it was candy. We made snow angels and caught snowflakes on our tongues. Playing in the snow is the best!

Yesterday was my nephew, Will’s, birthday. He turned 4.
Will had a Diego themed party — the coolest cartoon for the youngsters. If any of you have kids of your own (or if you’re an aunt or uncle) you know all about Diego and Dora. Will has been into Diego ever since last year when he got some new Diego shoes that he claimed made him run really fast.
These kids were hilarious and quite the handful! My favorite game was reindeer, reindeer, elf (aka duck, duck goose) because the kids didn’t quite catch the concept of how to play. Moms were on the sidelines coaching them when to run and sit. They had a blast chasing each other!
When Will opened his presents, he was the most gracious boy ever! He would say things like ‘I’ve always wanted…..’ and ‘This is always my favorite…’ and he was so enthusiastic with each gift opening, and even read the cards that came with each present. What a good boy!
Happy Birthday, Will! I love you

Yesterday, I had the privilege of photographing the Lloyd family. They have been in Utah for the past 6 weeks because Rich, the dad, has been going through cancer treatments. Only in August did he learn he had a tumor in his brain. I am so impressed with their family: their strength, optimistic attitude, and love, to name only a few things. To read more about Rich and his story, CLICK HERE.
We went to the International Peace Gardens because I wanted a place we could have great scenery and backgrounds, but somewhere the kids wouldn’t get bored. It worked perfectly! Whenever the kids started getting antsy, we’d just move to a new spot. It was so great to spend time with them, see them interact, and feel their love for one another. Their boys are fantastic, too. David, James, and Josh all are a joy to be around. I hope these photos can be a treasure to the Lloyds as a reminder of this difficult, yet wonderful time of their lives.

Saturday was so much fun! I am grateful I was able to squeeze the Mason Family into my crazy day because they are simply wonderful. They were very organized, but laid back about everything so there was no stress, which I love. Plus, all their little cousins were adorable. They had a blast playing with one another, running around, giving hugs, and laughing. The only time there were tears was when it came time to leave and they thought they couldn’t play anymore. How cute is that! Here are some of my favorites from the shoot. Plus, watch their SLIDESHOW by clicking HERE.
