Fall Photos

Sunday afternoon, I met two of my coworkers who are sisters (and XO sisters, too!) and their families for some fall pictures. It was a lot of fun, but I of course thought of some great picture ideas after the fact! Oh well, maybe next time!

Alabama/Tennessee Game

Home sick (cold...no fever) and behind on blogging, so I thought I would add a few pictures from the game I went to a few weeks ago...

Giving Uncle Buck a hug! I have not seen J since he was a baby!

Some things never change. :)

A better one...me with my cousin Kevin!

Jason's friends...I love this picture!!

Sweet cousin P wearing his football shirt!

Construction on the stadium.

Mom and Dad

Traditional victory picture with Uncle Jerry

The guys sitting back to enjoy the victory...or maybe crashing from a stressful 4th quarter.

Time to say goodbye...Kevin and his boys with his niece, too.

It's Your Birthday Huddy!

Happy Big 3-0 Big Brother!!! Hope you have a great day!!!

Who's Excited??!??!

Perfect

I had the opportunity to take pictures of this little guy before leaving for Alabama on Friday. This was technically my first real photo shoot and it was simply AMAZING. After thinking the weather would keep us from getting together, it ended up being a perfect morning. He and his mom are the sweetest, and I enjoyed getting to know them more. You can read more about their family here. Thanks again for letting me practice my photography skills, for letting me post the pics for friends and family to see, and for letting me link to your blog, too.

Perfect - exactly right, without any flaws or defects: perfect little fingers and toes.

AL vs. TN

I stayed pretty busy the week before the big game making shirts and decorating cookies!

AL football shirt for coworker's little boy. Will be making his sister an AL shirt soon...we had trouble finding a white shirt for her!

Made 2 TN football shirts for cousin J and cousin P! Had about 30 minutes to make these before we left since I waited until the last minute and found out I had the wrong size for one!!

Cheerleader shirt for coworker's little girl.

Another cheerleader shirt for cousin C!

I am not allowed to go to a game without bringing these cookies. I had made these for a bake sale at work and put in the freezer but never had time to decorate once the bake sale started. Worked on these forever to get the red color.

We had a great time with family we see every couple of years. The game was so boring the first three quarters but got a bit stressful at the end...so glad we pulled out another win!

More football weekend pics coming soon!!

Big Brothers

A friend of mine will be welcoming a niece to the family very soon and her nephews will be big brothers! She asked me to make shirts for the boys for when their baby sister comes to join them!

The oldest loves horses, so horse and cowboy fabric was the main theme for his shirt.

The youngest and soon to be middle brother likes cars. You would be surprised at how hard it is to find car fabric in this town. 3 fabric stores later and I found the big blue car fabric at my least favorite store (it is blue and starts with a W). We were headed to Nashville that weekend, so I decided to look at a big craft store there...which is my new favorite...they have everything! They had some cute cute cute car fabric (green with cars). So the 4th store was a success! Not wanting to waste any time I cut and pinned the letters in our hotel room after the wedding, so I could come home and iron then sew...worked out pretty good! If only my room cleaned itself while I was gone! ha!

Hoping to do a quick bit of sewing tomorrow but the dentist, a photo shoot, packing, cleaning, and finishing some cookie decorating is first on the list! Hope everyone has a happy Friday!!

Oh, and speaking of big brothers, mine will be turning the big 3-0 this week! Hopefully I can make him a special cake!!! It will be for Jessica, too, as her Birthday is tomorrow!! Happy Birthday Jessica!!
Also, Happy Birthday to Laura today!!!!
Wow this post just got really random! ha!

Silly Monkey

Today was Jill's baby shower at work!

Remember these letters? They match his monkey bedding...

I decided the baby shower cake also needed to match his bedding!

It didn't turn out just how I wanted but is still pretty cute!!
