The Tranel Family

I don't even know where to start with these guys. April is Steve's sister, she and Matt were high school sweethearts. awwwww! Now they have 5 (yes you heard me FIVE) beautiful, amazing, sweet children! I could not love this family anymore than I do! Each one of these kids is unique and has their own amazing personality. They are so lucky to have Matt and April as parents. From the moment you meet these sweet, polite, helpful children you just know there are some pretty amazing parents behind it all. I am so glad I got to take their pictures (um because they are beautiful!!!) and so glad they are in my life! this shoot was so much fun! there were pumpkins, caramel apples, candy corn, taffy, reeses pieces, and birthday cake (for baby Ruth's first birthday!) needless to say everyone had a good time :)






















HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUTH!!! :)

A Very Merry Un-Birthday

Eden is officially one year old..
it's exciting
and it breaks my heart at the same time
I don't really want her to get any bigger.
I just want her to stay little forever

ohh anyways we had a big ol party for the little munchkin
it was super fun!
unfortunately my camera started acting up in the middle of the party so I only got half a party's worth of pictures.


during breakfast we made her wear this skull cap so she wouldn't get egg in her hair before her guests got to the house. what do you think? does she look pretty tough or what?




can you guess what the theme was???
I'll give you a hint I bought Eden Alice in Wonderland on dvd for part of her present
:)







I'm sorry everyone but I have the cutest/prettiest baby ever. I know, I know, that sounds conceited but I was always taught to tell the truth. and really can anyone argue with me? I mean look at that little face!



probably should have kept that skull cap on her huh?

well that's it for now.
me and my mother just got Julia Child's The Way To Cook on dvd so be expecting lots of fun cooking posts.

Eli's 2nd birthday....

even though it was in June I feel the need to share these pictures

It was such a beautiful day and there were so many adorable children. It was Baby Eden's (as her big cousin Eli refers to her) very first outing. I think she enjoyed it almost as much as I did :)
