I got a little behind and never posted the Fall shots I took of the foursome last November.?? Better late than never right?

My intent was to get fall shots of the baby but right before I went out the door I made the last minute decision to coordinate the other three JUST IN CASE baby didn’t cooperate and I needed his siblings to help.?? I was later patting myself on the back for that insight because sure enough – baby wanted NONE of picture day.?? I ended up getting shots that I loved of his brothers and sister though and cute ones of them interacting with him so I chalked it up to a day well spent despite the necessary plan change.

Troy LOVES his brother Tanner – I mean LLLLOOVVVEEEESSS.???? He follows him around and crawls up his pant leg crying to be held.?? He sits on his lap often during school time and even when Tanner is playing Xbox.?? It’s adorable.?? He just lights up when he sees Tanner.?? He attacks Tanner’s cheeks trying to eat him up too.?? I love watching these two together – one of the most precious experiences of my life.

(These pictures taken were before he had his DOC band.?? Can’t you tell such a difference between then and now?)

Top left – very familiar expression.?? 🙂

I know the spit up picture is pretty icky.?? Sorry for putting you through that BUT it was Tanner’s favorite picture.?? I wish you could have heard Tanner’s contagious laughter when he saw how perfectly I captured the entire line of spit up.???? Wish I could say this reflux thing was a thing of the past but still ongoing unfortunately.

My little skinny boy who can never keep his pants up.?? Thank the Lord for the elastic drawstrings in pants these days – they help him at least somewhat.

With my big zoom lens, it makes it easy to catch my children at play without them realizing I am shooting from a distance.?? I don’t recall what they were doing but Tori was having a grand ole’ time playing with her brother.

This would be the coyote that was way too close for comfort.?? There were three of them that kept just out of distance from us.?? I watched my 25 pound girl pretty closely because you never know with wild animals that are THAT comfortable around people (and I am a scaredy cat).?? This area is a run off between a golf course green and the coyotes hang out on the greens all the time so they are used to the people traffic.

Trying to keep 4 monkeys out of the barrel all together can be quite a feat.?? Ty was trying but she wasn’t making it easy on him.

I just love her point wink thing.?? Makes me laugh and she does it all the time.?? Don’t ask me what the lower right was about but she often does that when she is excited about something.?? This often preceeds “YYYYEEESSSS!!!”

This picture of her just makes my heart sing.

I usually don’t take shots of Ty in his glasses because they are transitional but it was an unusually overcast day.?? Isn’t he just precious?

And look at this heart breaker!?? He is getting too old!!!?? But still just as sweet…

I love how Tanner bites his lip.?? So Tanner.

Wearing the hat was her idea by the way.?? She has lots of ideas.???? Lots and lots of them.?? 🙂
