Sneak Peak

So here is a sneak peak of our Christmas Card.. I had to share.

Texture and Fun!

In my photo editing class I have learned how to use texture properly!!!

I know I've posted this one already ,but I just added some texture to the background and now I love it even more!!!


Just for fun!!
I had to photograph these cute little socks. They look like big boy shoes!

Nelson Fam.

These are just a few pictures from the bonfire at Scott & Shan's and some from the day of Grandpa's funeral. Barb & Drew
Grandma Jane & Ethan

Grandpa Nelson's sister Ellie with Drew and Ethan. This would be Ethan's Great Great Auntie :)

Rylie and Ryland eating S'mores

I love his new mohawk hat!

I heart this photo!

Bonfire night at Scott & Shan's.This was a remembrance get together for Grandpa.

Barb, Jane, Bruce, Bob and Dean!

Scott & Shan had all sorts of fancy wine that night . I must admit I think I had a glass too much. I blame Scott for making me" try all the different flavors"...peer pressure I tell ya.

Makani

Ryland again.

Sue & Ethan

Life Behind Bars.

The way his eyes are looking right through the gate makes him look like he has a superhero mask on !

I love these little legs.


Uh-oh, Ethan got pantsed! :)

Silly boy.

He loves playing in this! Usually we will open up one of the gates and sit there with him.

Hi mommy!

Hi Ethan!

Ethan is now pulling himself up/standing and crawling, now more than ever he has to be kept contained :) So behind the "bars of justice" as Drew calls it is where Ethan plays. I love how he stands on his tippy toes to see over the bars..so cute!

We will forever be grateful for you.

Today our Grandpa Nelson passed away at the age of 93. He had a long and beautiful life and I'm very glad to have known him . Without you Grandpa, there would of been no Drew and no Ethan. There wouldn't of been any of the family that I have come to love so dear.I'm very grateful to you for that and also for what a wonderful man you were. You will be missed by so many . May God meet you at the gates of heaven and hand you your bride again . Love you so much grandpa!

For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.
