Kate the Great Turns Four

Tickets...Tickets....Get Your Tickets.....

Kates Carnival is about to begin..... Step right up and grab your carnival cape....oh and don't forget to grab your nose...there will be LOTS of clowning around!

On your way in be sure not to miss Kate the Greats Wall of Fame before picking up refreshment Kateorade aka-Gatorade, Popcorn, and your cotton candy!  The adorable display of images pinned up perfectly with each clothespin labeling her age.....just darling!

Step right up nothing to be afraid of at this carnival....the carnies are the cutest girls in town!

I have been dying to share this with you! Not too long ago I wrote about Ashley Williams 4th of July party and how FABULOUS it was....well her little darling Kate the great brought a carnival to Turlock to celebrate her 4th birthday! Ashley thinks of everything when it comes to party planning. Ashley called on Alison from Starlit Nest to help with all of the decor....from the capes, carnie aprons, carnival banners, backdrops and even cake topper Alison of Starlit Nest really set the stage for the big top bash!



 It is heartwarming to see creative talents come together and to be included in the joy that it brings to others just tops it all.

I am truly convinced that Ashley should be party planning for a living....she is soooo good at it. I wish I could share all of the fabulous images from this fantastic birthday!

Farm Fun with the Piccardo Family

What is it about little boys....they look like angels but once in awhile you can see a little spark in their eye that tells you they are much more complex then that!!! These three little ones were such a joy to capture! As you can see they were born to farm! They are totally at home on a tractor or next to a large piece of equipment! There were so many faves on this session it is next to impossible to pick. Here are a few....some make me laugh because of the boys expressions!!! Thanks for including me in your family session at the farm!

Wow...school started yesterday which means summer is about over....so where is the summer weather? Really, no complaints here just does not seem like summer should be coming to an end....

The blogging thing seems so odd to me because I am not one to write....trying to sit down and write really is hard work for me. I figured today I have avoided writing since July so it is about time that I spend quality time blogging here today.

Now I am a bit overwhelmed with WHAT and WHO to write about. I have really had such a GREAT summer filled with BEAUTIFUL weddings-Fabulous Famlies and some of the cutest kids ever!

I guess I will start with the fabulous Jasper family! These three adorable kids are completely at ease in the country-Me Too!

Stewart and Carlie

Stewart (who happens to be my brother) and his wife Carlie came to visit this month. It just so happened it was during the two nice days in March-no rain or wind. They brought their two pups Emma and Maddie. Emma and Maddie were our puppies. We love to have them come and visit. It is fun to watch a pack of four dogs get together. As you can imagine the treats were flying!

I have a special soft spot for dogs! I just love their eyes. I cannot imagine life without them! I know Stewart and Carlie would say the same. Pin It Now!

ICE CREAM + KIDS = PRICELESS. It seems like yesterday when I met Jason and Carrie in Knightsferry for family pictures. Coal had just turned one and we met for a family session. Coal was introduced to ice cream for the first time...what a kick! Well...Jason, Carrie and Coal now have another toddler in the house...Tessa! She is such a doll! We decided to give her a taste of ice cream too! -Here are a few-
