Thank You SO MUCH, Amy { We just love you...}

My life-long bestie, Amy, has been trying her hardest to work out doing pictures for us since Tony's been home and plan after plan after plan has fallen through. She even rode in Jeremy's (her husband) truck with him, while he was working, criss-crossing towns all around and between here and Jacksonville, trying her hardest to come here to do our pictures for us. Bless her heart. I love her so much. She's an angel. Today, all the stars were finally in line and she made it to us and for thirty minutes, she was all ours! :) Unfortunately, Noah was not in the mood for a photoshoot, he was in the mood for a nap, so he was not the most cooperative little fellow. But we still love him, all the same. :)



This is one of my favorites. I love pictures of feet. I'm not a big fan of footsie, though. So, remember that if we ever happen to be on the couch together, or if we're having a sleepover (my girlfriends, of course), Tony gets kicked in the shins quite often for trying to play with my feet with his. Not a fan.

This is when we came inside, because I have a squinting problem. I didn't want our family pictures to be taken with my sunglasses on, nor did I want to accelerate my wrinkles forming... so inside we went... :)


I love this. Even though Tony is out of focus (completely my fault. DANG ME!!) Still think it's incredibly cute!


Our happy wittle family...


Noah is not present in this one, because he was mad, the candy I was slipping into his mouth to keep him from screaming in the above pictures had become ineffective, so he slid himself off the couch, so... then there were three...


This is the REAL us.

This is the LOVING us...

More to come.. promise...

On another note.. I'm thinking I'm going to start answering questions I get in comments at the bottom of new posts, because usually I respond to your questions in a comment of my own, but then I've been thinking... I'm sure you guys don't usually go back to my old blogs to see if I've said anything new in my own comments and I don't want you to think I'm ignoring you or I don't care enough to answer you, so therefore, I need a place to respond!! :)

So, Julie, I got that UNC soccer ball on Franklin Street at one of the little stores, however, Sara wrote in her comment that she had seen them at Wal-Mart. I do have to tell you, though, Emma has soccer balls from Wal-Mart. She's a soccer freak and this one is different. It's like.. really authentic or something.. idk... it's different, so if you're ever visiting Franklin Street, look for em! :)

And Jessica, my lovely friend, I COMPLETELY understand that you can't come to my Noah's birthday party on your Jake's birthday. That would be totally not cool to him at all, even though, we would have a cake and presents for him if you guys DID come. :) We will get together VERY soon with Amber and all our tons of kids and play and have a good ole time together, though, promise???? I'll come to Jacksonville to you girls this time. :)

I love all the pics!!!! And my favs are the ones of you and Tony standing and Emma is looking at Noah. So sweet!!!! And then I also like the one of all of you laying on the floor! Tony isn't really that much out of focus....you have a photographers eye, so you notice it more then others.

I have come to realize that to take a TRUE family pic....the kids are going to do doing whatever it is they are doing, afterall, that is the TRUE thing right?!?!

Great pics Amy took!!!!

Sara said...

I love the birds eye one also...those are my favs but Alex's eyes always turn bright red and watery as soon as we lay down to do one...he's always done it I try one every year and the same thing every time...

2nd. Thanks for letting me know. My son just got a UNC Basketball, i know he'd love the soccer ball. I'll check walmart thanks Sara. But I do go to the Chapel Hill every 6months for one of my sons. So we'll have to look into that.
