Photo Shoot Fun

So this picture was taken in the same place as the blog header, which is my ultimate favorite picture to date so far. But......as you can see it was the only good picture out of over a hundred pictures taken there. Yeah, this one is cute but not as cute as the header picture. I worked and tried I jumped up and down and put stickers on my nose but I could not get a smile out of Reid by this really cool brick wall. But not really being a photographer of families and children I didn't think of the obviously I should have had candy!

Blackberries and Silly Faces

Reid really has some crazy faces these days.
Favorite food you ask? Blackberries, hands down.
Thanks Uncle Pat for all your hard work picking this summer we still have some in the freezer!

Halloween Part II

I'll start with my favorite picture of the night.....Ha, this is too cute. I have better pictures of the pumpkins from later in the night when they really look lit up but Reid wasn't into it, but this shot is just perfect! Look at that face.

You'll have to excuse some of the backgrounds. He just came out of the house so happy, and not grabbing for the camera that I went a little shutter crazy!

The first sucker he's ever had in his little life :)And what night would be complete without "the silly face?"Just love this one.When we were little my mom would make us bacon, eggs, and pancakes when we came home from trick or treating because it's such hard work! This picture reminded me of that.I must have told Kevin a hundred times that Halloween was so fun this year. It was just a blast watching Reid get so excited it just made my night.All and all it was VICTORIOUS, and you can see Reid thought so too.

Halloween Part 1

I'll start off by saying Reid LOVED Halloween. Loved, loved, loved it.

He started off by answering the door and handing out candy then we went out around the block for about an hour and by the time we got back he was just warming up and b-lined it across the street to the neighbors house where Halloween is a very very important holiday. When he woke up the next morning he grabbed his pumpkin pail and went straight to the door!
So here are a few pictures of Reid in his costume and there will be more of the actual trick or treating experience. I have a lot of great ones!This picture makes me want to run upstairs and wake him up to SQUEEZE him. Clap clap clap, I want the lights to keep flashing.

I really really needed Reid to not cry for the camera.....

......not only because I'm tired of taking pictures like thisand like this....(seriously? Wow kiddo.)

but because I really needed to document the funniest thing in the whole world....So....I did this and this ...........and thisWhich turned out to be pretty cool in his little world. He realized that whatever had been in front of the camera we could now see in the LCD screen. He now points out the rug or his pumpkin in the kitchen after seeing the picture on the camera, pretty cool association for a parent to watch happen........any whoooo to the fun stuff, like I was saying the funniest thing ever........
and here it is....I can barely look at this without busting out laughing. Let me tell you this face has given us hours of laughter. We constantly ask him to make his silly face we imitate him, we laugh. Look at the muscles in his neck, I only wish I captured the hands they are usually in tight fists.
(For all you photogs out there doesn't he crazily look like "Boy with grenade" by Diane Arbus?)
