A few weeks ago my hubby decided on a whim he wanted to take a road trip. He wanted to just drive on cool roads and see pretty stuff along the way. He found a route that is popular among motorcycle clubs. So we got in the car and we were off. It was very pretty scenery and we saw some cool little towns along the way. When we were passing thru Mineral Wells we saw this huge old building all borded up. We both love exploring old buildings so we got out of the car and walked around the outside. We would have loved to go inside, but it’s obviously against the law and we had our boys with us. I did stick my camera in a few broken out windows and got some cool shots. When we got home later that night Jayson decided to look the building up on the internet. It turned out to be the Baker Hotel. Built in the 1920′s and has been closed down since the 1970′s. It’s also one of the top 10 haunted buildings in texas. I’m glad I found that out later and not while we were there. It did seem alittle creepy. There was this one busted out window and I stuck my face in to look around. The air right inside was much cooler, like a freezer. It was strange since it was pretty warm outside and all the other windows felt like it did outside. Now knowing it’s haunted and been shut down since the 70′s it really creeps me out. Anyways, I hope you enjoy my story and looking at these pictures. Jayson’s bugging me already to go on another road trip and explore.

It is fall, the leaves are falling everywhere. That means it’s fall! Sorry, it’s part of a Yo Gabba Gabba song that I couldn’t get out of my head while editing these pictures. My hubby took the kids outside to give me alittle break. And then peaked in and said, you might want to get your camera. And I’m glad I did. Just a little impromptu photoshoot with my boys enjoying the first of many times they will play in the leaves. They love it so much, as you can see. I too love all the leaves changing colors and falling to the ground. I think it’s my favorite time of year.

My boys really wanted to go back and do more exploring, so we did. We still didn’t get there till kinda late, but it was still wonderful. Of coarse I took a few shots of the boys and then some pretty scenery. It sure would make a great background for family portraits.

My wonderful client Brooke told me about a really cool new location. Thanks Brooke! I decided to go check it out with my boys. We got there alittle late and didn’t get to do much exploring, but we plan to go back and see more. It definately has alot of potential for some awesome photoshoots. I can’t wait to go back.

Just a few quick snaps of my kids and my niece and nephew right before we went trick or treating. Skeleton (miles), Punky Brewster (devon), Little Green Man (ian), Sulley (brax). They all had a blast and got way too much candy.

Our trip to the pumpkin patch was a blast. They have a really cool old blue truck that’s new. My boys loved it. We’ve been going to this pumpkin patch since I was pregnant with Ian. I look forward to it every year. Happy Halloween!

4 years ago today, my life was changed forever. My beautiful baby boy was born. Almost 12 hours of induced labor and I ended up with a c-section. I cried happy tears as soon as I heard his first cry. Unfortunatly my husband saw alittle too much of the surgery and knew something I didn’t yet and had to leave the room. As soon as I was wheeled back to my room, they told me something was wrong with his feet. They unwrapped him and showed me his little crooked feet and told me he had clubfeet. We didn’t know anything about it until that moment. We tried not to let it overshadow his birth, and even thought about not having more kids for fear they would have it too. But once we got started with his treatment and noticed he didn’t mind the casts, brace and was still a very happy baby. We decided we would eventually try for one more. And if he did have clubfeet, we would know how to treat it and it wouldnt be a big deal. Luckily Brax’s feet are fine. Ian hit every milestone mostly on time, the brace wasn’t slowing him down. He did walk alittle late, but honestly I’m not sure if his clubfeet had anything to do with it. He was released from his brace alittle early a few months ago. I think we will always worry about his feet. Even though for awhile now no one would ever even know anything was wrong with his feet. He’s very smart, loving and a great kid all around. I can’t imagine my life without him and love him so very much.

 

And again a few more silly faces from my boys. I actually got brax to look at the camera this time. Tonight is the night for the big carnival photoshoot. I hope it goes as well as these of brax. I can’t wait!

Just a few snaps of Ian being silly and Brax only letting me get a shot of the back of his head. He’s not really liking the camera these days. But now that the weather is cooler and both boys b-days are coming up, I do have an awesome vintage carnival themed photoshoot in the works. It will be alot of fun and hopefully I’ll get some great shots of them both.

Just a few snaps of my boys outside riding Ian’s bike. Daddy helping. And Brax “powing” with a laser gun. His face is so funny.
