Family Photo Shoot

I love taking pictures of my two guys, but I was dying to have some family pictures and some shots of me and Carter. My wonderful husband came with us to the park so that we could get some pictures. They came out great! I am so glad that we didn't pay anyone else to take pictures of us! All we need is the tripod!!

Wanna-be photographer

We had a Christmas party at our house a few weeks ago and before people arrived I decided to take some pictures of the table. I love playing around with different angles - usually my target is Carter, but this time I aimed at the table, with Carter in the other arm, of course!

Picture with Santa

We took Carter to get a picture with Santa. We didn't have to wait in line very long - about 15 minutes, but that was just long enough for Carter to hit nap time. He was not very happy when we handed him over to Santa, but after a few minutes he calmed down and we got a picture!

December fun!

The past couple years we have gone up to Apple Hill and cut down our Christmas tree, but this year we just went to a Christmas tree lot, but we got the most beautiful tree! Carter was snuggled up for our fun outing.

From December

The tree was so big that Patrick had to cut the sides of the trunk to get it to fit in our tree stand!

Family Fun

I love taking pictures of our little guy! He is so cute and I love to capture how much he is growing and changing. He loves to smile at us, but refuses to smile once the camera is out! So we haven't captured one of his big smiles, but hopefully I will soon!

Carter loves his daddy!

From November

Almost got the whole smile!

His favorite toys right now are this activity mat and the bouncy chair.

I get to practice my photography skills with our little man....

November fun

In November we started to venture out with our little guy. Our first trip was up to Apple Hill. It was a beautiful day, we got some apples, walked around and of course, enjoyed an apple donut - my favorite! Carter slept through the whole trip! He didn't wake up until we got back home.

From November

We also took Carter to his first football game. Vista made the playoffs and we went to the game, and again he slept through the whole thing! What a champ!

From November

A huge highlight for November was Patrick's volleyball team becoming Section Champions! They got to play at UC Davis against Union Mine and won!!! It was such an honor for Patrick to win. And I am so proud of my hubby! This was the biggest adventure so far for me and Carter, and of course he was dressed appropriately. =) Carter also got to meet his great grandpa for the first time!

From November

We also got to enjoy Thanksgiving at my parents house. We even spent the night there - Carter's first overnight trip! It went well and it was great to visit with family.

Carter's First Halloween

For Carter's first Halloween, we passed out candy to the neighborhood kids and took some pictures. And of course, put him in some cute little outfits! =) He is getting bigger and bigger. He is starting to make more noises and he stays awake longer. He smiles a lot in his sleep, and even laughs; I can't wait until he smiles at us!

3 Week Old Photo Shoot

So I couldn't resist taking some pics of my little cutie! Again, I took a ton of pictures, but these are my favorites! He is so darn cute - I know, we're a little biased, but who could disagree with how cute this little face is!
