Vote for James!

The polls are up for RLT Photography's "Adorable Baby Contest" - and we think James is pretty darn adorable (yes, we are his parents and are biased, but still - don't you agree?;))

We'd love it if you could take a second and go vote for him! Just go to RLT Photography's blog and vote for James' picture (this one, shown below...). If we win, we get some sweet prizes!

Thank you, friends!!

Our Handsome Two-Year-Old

Aren't these photos just priceless? Our buddy boy sure is growing up. I just tucked him into bed a few minutes ago and said, "Sweet dreams!" to which he replied "Sleet beams!"

**Stay tuned...once the voting is up for RLT Photography's "Adorable Baby Contest" I'd love it if you could all go vote for James!!

our adorable James :)

We had the opportunity to get some wonderful photos of James taken on Friday by a talented photographer, Ryan Thompson. He was our wedding photographer, and he also took my family's pictures about a year ago. The photos turned out SO great. You can view them here on Ryan's website. (My favorite is photo #102!) It is actually part of RLT Photography's "Adorable Baby Contest," so in a few days you all can go and vote for James as the most adorable baby! :)

A few random pictures found on my in-laws' camera...

So I found some great pictures on my in-laws' camera and just had to share. These are great.

This picture was taken last October when I was pregnant with James. Look how huge and exhausted I look. Good times.


I am guessing this was on Halloween. Not sure what Anna is supposed to be, but Spencer is that funny Wendy's guy from those Wendy's commercials. I am pretty sure he got this awesome costume idea from my brother-in-law Jeff, so I've gotta give him credit, cuz that is a really funny costume.


Rebecca has the most gorgeous hair, and it looks like they were straightening it. Doesn't she look excited?


Classic Anna face. Getting Anna (and Spencer too, for that matter) to smile naturally for a picture is like pulling teeth.


This is what you get when you grow up on a farm.


The cute Daniel & Bethany Boster family - I love these guys!


Joseph is hard-core.


Funny picture of James, love the eyes.


Jonathan's parents and the huge watermelon they grew in their garden.


The fam weeding the garden. I helped too, I swear - I was just already in the swimming pool when this picture was taken ;)


What makes a farm even more fun on a hot summer day? A swimming pool.


A fun photo shoot they did with Rebecca. She is so cute, I love these pictures!

Finally - a whole bunch of pictures!
