Longview Washingtons (WA) Favorite Studio & Location Portrait & Wedding Photographer

Every year it’s our family tradition to take the kids over to my moms house in Kalama for trick or treating.

So off we went Monday to Grandmas house with our costumes on and candy buckets in hand.

Every year we also paint mini pumpkins so we brought those along too.

Grandpa even made a pumpkin pie this year…though we had to leave before it was ready to eat

since it was a school and work night. Bummer indeed.

I was able to take the kids portraits outside while the sun was setting.

Kiana took mine and by the time my hubby got off work and

dressed up the sun was gone…so hello flash.

My mom was able to take a family portrait…not full body but it works.

The weather was amazing and we had a great time together.

The kids even got tired before we were done making the usual rounds but we made them

stick through it and carry their own buckets.

About an hour or two later we were done…kids were worn out and we headed home.

Another great Halloween with lots of candy to prove it.

I just love dressing up each year…

This years theme was Animals.

A wild bunch we were!

Enjoy!

Oh and what did you dress up for Halloween this year?

Wow this past month has been a wild ride. First with my youngest spraining his ankle then getting chicken pox. Of coarse our week didn’t end with that…Friday at school Kai our middle child fell and hit his head on a garbage can. I had to take him to the ER because it looked like he needed stitches. Luckily it was able to be taped. Yet another close call.

I bought some mustaches at the Dollar Tree and my kids loved them.

I personalized my Starbucks gold card more to my liking with the help of some scrapbooking tools. Love it!

Yesterday was my hubby’s 37th birthday so I took him to his favorite German restaurant in Portland. Oh how we love the Fondue. Der Rheinlander is at 5035 NE Sandy Blvd. Go check it out!

Hopefully this week will be a little more relaxing and cheaper than the last. Lol

Anything exciting happening on your life?

It was Friday night last week when my heart sank. My son Zeke was in his room and supposed to be going to sleep.

He let out a scream like no other, after I heard a loud crash come from upstairs.

I ran up to find him lying on the floor holding his leg screaming.

To make a long story short the ER thought he had fractured a bone in his foot.

Not until we went to the orthopedist did we find out 4 days later it was just a bad sprain.

Needless to say he started walking on it again and just gas a small limp.

That was wonderful news…especially since he hated the splint and kept taking if off every chance he had.

Kids…

Definitely keeping us on our toes at all times.

Gotta love them.

Hope your week is an adventure as well.
