Last weekend

We attended the St.Mary's fall festival in St. Clair. Growing up we knew when school started the festival was right around the corner. St.Mary's fall festival always signaled the beginning of 'the season' for us. I have many memories of the kids tent (which I sooooo greatly miss!) the cake walk, face painting...then as we got older it was riding the Paratrooper (we were always afraid someone would puke on our heads walking underneath it, lol), my first experience w/the Gravitron (which I admit is my most hated ride), and well, many more. *sigh*

We sponsored a Coffee House Saturday night in the Community Center. We had free coffee, cocoa, 'all the fixins' (as my Mother put it), sweet treats, etc. It was open for all ages and was a nice way to warm up from the rain. We plan on doing it again next year if you didn't get to stop by ;0)

Todd and I took the lil' man out on some rides. For those of you that have met him, you know he is just a peanut. There was one fun house that he was only a little bit (not even an inch) too short for. We tried convincing him to just follow his friends on, but he refused (he said he was scared he would get 'caught') so I went with. He had a blast and was on his way to the next trip thru alone, and the guy stopped him. Poor kid. I don't think the carnival worker (to put it in the polite term, lol) even noticed he was too short I just think he stopped him b/c he knew I went with him the first time. Of course, everyone around noticed, and a polite lady asked her "son" if he would go with lil' man into the *other* funhouse. He politely agreed-what a sweet boy. "Grandma"(who I thought was his mom) and I start chatting and come to find out, Lil Man and other Lil Man share the same birthday, and were only born 17 minutes apart! Crazy world!

Now on to the photography..



We had Amy & Caleb's wedding 09-19-09. It was beautiful! What an adorable couple they are :) We had a blast, and I must admit to being pretty sad at the end of the night.....I'm going to miss these two! They better come back and visit us when they have babies :)












Cori and Tim's Wedding was 9-12-09. I really wish I could describe the emotional high we were all feeling that day, but I can't. To capture my beautiful cousin on her wedding day was an honor I can't express. She was radiant, and Tim is quite the handsome man. What an awesome couple they make, and what an awesome day it was!
