Lindsey Lou Hoo

This gal is just about the cutest thing I’ve seen lately and she’s also a pretty good babysitter (if anyone is looking)…Not to mention, her...

Todd's oldest daughter is going to be a senior this coming year and I was telling her about you and I think it would be cooler if she didn't use someone in the Tulsa area like everyone else will be. jen

Micah…and his family

Read all the way through to see my best shot for today!
This little guy arrived on the scene less than two weeks ago and is already making quite an impression.  I wanted to bring him home with me.  He was so relaxed and didn’t make a peep during our entire two hour session.  He wasn’t...

Kale, Addison, and Harry

It’s HOT in Oklahoma right now, but that didn’t stop this crew from having a little fun.  It helped, of course, that we met up at an old train depot.  From the second they piled out of the car, Harry was on the run toward the trains.  He was in choo-choo heaven.
The other two were...

Boys, Dinosaurs, and a birthday…

Daddy is officially back home. 
The boys and I have had a super busy week taking field trips to lots of interesting and crazy places.  I’m completely worn out, but have had a great time entertaining my boys.  I couldn’t do it every week; there’s just NO way.  I had to come home each day...

July 24, 2008 - 7:16 am cynthia - well. i usually am partial to b&w's but i just love this one in color better! those blue eyes really stand out and i like the contrast of his shirt, the tree and the green in the background!
