Am I 4 yet?

Well our little girl is finally 4... We had her birthday at the Big Bounce and she LOVED it! It was really special because she had 2 sets of Great grandparents one mamas side and one from papas side. Also my sister showed up as a big surprise (all pictures are thanks to her husband) Almost everyone we invited showed up only afew couldn't make it and they were greatly missed. We had a great time!

loving the jumping

This is all I saw of her most of the time (her back)

I love taking Family photos! I have never really like the studio kind just because natural light appeals to me more. I like to take photos but can't take my own family's even if I used a tripod kids just don't sit still well enough for that. This year I wanted to take pictures with the fall colors I've always wanted to but by the time I decide to do it the leaves are down already. I was so lucky this year because Katie Kempton and I were talking (about photography) and I asked her to take our photos (she had never done it but knew she could) So we gave our Awesome camera to her and she did an AWESOME job at everything, keeping the kids entertained, finding sweet spots and have patience with us! Of course due to children not everything turned out perfect but all that matters is that we had options and we do have at least one good photo from every pose... I consider that good when you have to account for 2 children that are never consistent, If one is smiling the other one is looking somewhere else. That's how it works so these are our family photos I Love them to much!

The BUTTrey Family

Play Date

When my friend Michayla comes into town with her 3 kids we make it a point to get the kids together to play. Adien in 3 months older than Aurora and her Jaryden is 18 months older than Parker and he is 10 months older than her Shayleen.

Aurora and Adien have been friends since she was born, he did call her his girlfriend but now he says she is his wife... He is so sweet to her and she is so protective of him at the playground. I love it! they are best friends how wonderful that they can grow up together.

Parker and Jaryden (JT)

Kids bring out the Kids in us all

Sunday we went to see Grandma and Grandpa Savage (Jared's grandparents on his mom's side) Anyway, We try to go see them being as they just live in Bloomfield. Aurora thinks they are just so great. Most of the time when we go we just sit and watch the kids play while we talk and listen to them tell us stories of things they have done. Or Grandpa takes Aurora into the garden and she helps him pick tomatoes. This trip was much more eventful...

Aurora got jacks out and Grandpa showed her how to spin them by the end her and Parker just wanted him to spin them so they could catch them.
Parker enjoyed all of the wind up toy and the ball...more on the ball in a sec...

Aurora like to make funny faces and so she thought she would help grandma make some too.

Parker is so proud that he can get into chairs now he liked sitting next to grandma (this is one of people who gave him the red hair)

And so it begins! Keep away! Aurora was in the middle and Grandma and Grandpa made the ends

Yeah she is wrestling grandma put up a mean fight too!

Tickling... Hugging... Aurora had no chance

Grandpa was just so FAST! See the blurry hands fast uh

This made us luagh so hard! he would move the ball all over then oops! it would dissapear... he put it under his arm and Aurora would look everywhere for it.

I Loved watching them play together like that and now I have the best pictures to show Aurora when she gets older.
