Yesterday happened to be a perfect day for a senior session so it definitely worked out for this senior and his family from the eastern part of the state.  Bottom line, just the most mellow and low key guy and just so very nice.  He was definitely up for anything and even worked his poses when the temp dropped by at least 15 degrees and I told him to look warm!  :)   Thanks D crew for making the trip…hope you like your sneak peek!

Plans after high school:   Attending University of Montana in Missoula

Favorite food:  Mexican food

All time favorite song:  No Rain by Blind Melon
All time favorite artist/band:  Phish

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?  As either a music teacher or studying ecology in the field.

Favorite specific article of clothing:  Tie dye
If you were a cartoon character, who would you be and why?  Bugs Bunny…he’s absolutely hilarious

Oh, my aching heart!  He does it for me!  Today was his first toddler music class and I have to say, I couldn’t have had a warmer heart.  He just keeps cracking me up!  At one point, when asked for an example farm animal, he kept saying “Ly-La.  Ly-La,”  which is “Lilly,” our wiener dog.  He followed with this huge repeating round arm sweep and a big “Row!”  This is his “roll over” sign.  This is surely the new fascination that got carried into music class.  I just looked at him and just wanted to sweep him up and love, love, love on him.  He’s just pure joy!

Thought I would share his “cheeeeeeese” face.  He learned this last weekend watching his cousins…love it!  Oh, and yes, that’s a barrette in his hair…he has a big sister!

Oh, I guess.  If I have to take pics of a cute and smiley little turkey, I will.  I’ll take one for the team.

Loving the mud on the shoes…mud and a four-year-old seem to go really well together.

Okay, I sit here and write this and just want to hold this little girlie again.  I surely did not get my fill.  She is seven pounds of sheer sweetness and I miss that sleepy baby girl already.  Welcome to the family Miss A…you are so very loved!

(Thanks guys for having me take pics of the most recent addition to our posse…as if you had a choice!  She truly is beautiful!  Here’s a little sneak peek…)

Okay, so this week was the week that I would FINALLY update my website.  The poor, poor website…so very negected.  Just in case you haven’t been over there lately because you’ve been sweeping drool off of your chin each time you do, well, yes, it’s finally updated!  Check it out!

As for what else is happening in this little world of mine, I’ve had a little birthday planning on the mind.  I know, it’s a couple months away but the big “5″ is coming up and it’s never too early to start thinking about something snazzy.  The theme request has been “Taylor Swift.”  Eek…no idea on this one.  Even better, I asked where she would like to have her party.  I’m really not entirely sure where this came from but the response was “Taco del Mars.”  I couldn’t help but giggle.  One, again, no idea how she thought of that and two, loved how it was “Mars” instead of Mar.  See why I need to start thinking about this stuff early??!  A Taylor Swift party at Taco del “Mars.”  Hmmmm….

For those who follow the blog (yes, both of you) and what I do, you know that I take a very limited number of session each month.  How else would I have time to write about birthday parties and stories about pretty much nothing???  Anyway, I have a bit of a newborn bug and I get to fulfill it in about a week as we hit the road to go take pics of my sister-in-law’s new baby girl.  I’m looking forward to it and also hoping to be able to wash my hands of any newborn craving as I exit.  Surely, that shouldn’t be a problem, right???  Oh, wait, midnight feedings, bags under eyes, hallucinations, inconsolable sobbing (okay, just mine), etc….yeah, I’m good.  I’m quite certain Little Buddy is meant to be the baby in our family.

So, it was like -5 degrees today for the high.  Yeah, the high.  Pretty much seals your nostrils together if you go outside.  I also found long ago that those temperatures can solidify drool created from a fire ball jawbreaker.  Random thought, I know, but when I was a kid, I would go to the nearby park to get on the bus to go to school and I can seriously still remember this kid (whom my dad would teasingly say was my boyfriend) with one or sometimes two fire balls in his mouth, wedged between his cheek and his teeth and a steady stream of fireball “juice” streaming down the corners.  Frozen on the cold days.  Isn’t that funny?  Fireballs in the morning?!  Surely a dentists dream…

Anyway, enough gab, I figured I would share some more newborn shots from this session since we’ve been talking newborns.  Hope everyone is enjoying 2010!!
