Noah is 6 weeks!

I've heard that I need some new Noah photos on here! You'd think he was my little guy!

Listening to his mommy talk to him.

Jealous poodle!

Seniors 2009

I totally stole this idea from Amanda Reed - a fabulous photographer friend in Rainelle. The song she had was so perfect that I took it too. Enjoy!

Demolition

A little action from around here this weekend. My BFF Maria came to visit from Florida and we put her to work! Soon, this room will be my kitchen.

My turn!

I wouldn't recommend coming to visit now or we'll put you to work. Maria's sweeping up the remnants of the kitchen.

In reality, Kevin is the one that did most of the work in the kitchen. We just jumped in and took pictures! He does the hard work and we come in and make it look like we did - smart girls!

Mary Ellen's Surprise Birthday Party!

Saturday, I celebrated Mary Ellen's birthday with her, her family, and friends. Katie (her daughter and one of my very bestest friends!) planned a fabulous surprise party and it was a success! The party was at The Barge Restaurant in South Charleston.

The beautiful (and tasty) cake that matched the invitations

Surprise!

Hugs for the hubby

This is the look Katie got when Mary Ellen saw some of the photos on the board.

This is my favorite series of photos. A friend flew in and totally surprised Mary Ellen. Melt down to follow.

Time to sing!

The Barge has an awesome tin ceiling.

If you look closely, you can see the sparks flying off the sparkler candles.

Opening some gifts

Crown #2 for the day - you know it's a successful party when you get two crowns out of it!

Scott did some undercover photography. Some great blackmail photos were captured.

WV Home School Association Banquet - Poca, WV

Last night I went to Poca to get some photos before the WV Home School Association banquet began. The dinner was held at Wellington's at Scarlet Oaks Country Club. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful location. The dogwood trees were in full bloom!

Here's a little preview - the photos will be up for proofing/ordering on Monday!

Ray 60th Anniversary - Lewisburg, WV

Today Ralph and Mary Ray celebrated their 60th anniversary in Lewisburg! It was a beautiful day and a great drive down. It's really starting to look like spring - the trees are budding, the dogwoods are already out, the sun was shining, and the grass is coming back to life. Lewisburg is a lovely little town. I drove through the town before the party and thought it was so cute that I wanted to move there. I love small towns and Lewisburg seems especially charming!
The party was very nice at Blackwell's at the country club. I hope that, in 2068, Kevin and I look half as good as Mr. and Mrs. Ray! They were so cute and, obviously, still in love.

Blackwell's was a great place for the party!

This little girl is the first and only great-grandchild. She's the star of the show and so cute! She probably made her way into at least half of the pictures.

Sharing a little dance!

Cutting the cake

The camera was turned on me! I'm thinking about getting this model myself. I've heard good things about the quality of the "Elmo's World" camera. Plus, you get some stylish eyes with your camera! What more could a photographer ask for?

I love the expressions in this one!

The whole fam!

They didn't know it, but I caught a little kiss!

How sweet is this?

Almost as sweet as this! (I told you she was the star!)

The photos from the party will be online this week! Check my website!
