First Time Family Pictures

Filed under Blogging, Inspiration, Thankful For by Mrs. O on November 8, 2011 at 5:41 pm {3 comments}

We finally did it! Thanks to Facebook, I recently saw some gorgeous photos of families I know. I just had to get ours done too. We have never had professional pictures done, now I couldn’t resist. I wanted some nice pics of the whole family. So we did it!

I contacted the photographer who took the pictures of the other families, her name is Lisa with LiLo Photography. She set us up to meet at a local Museum that has a working farm, great place to snap pics.

Can I just tell you that I LOVE the pictures? I was so nervous because honestly I didn’t know if my boys would cooperate. My 2 little ones did not cooperate after about 15 minutes, lol. I was unsure if they gave her any good shots.

Well folks that is what Professionals are for! Of course she captured perfect pics of them. So thankful!!

If you are in the Denver area, I highly recommend her. She has an amazing portfolio that you can view online at Facebook (please “Like” her, you will love the pics she posts) or on her website.

She made us feel comfortable right away. She introduced herself to the boys and made them feel special, thank you for that Lisa!

Our Classroom for a Perfect Autumn Day

A couple of Fridays ago we took class outdoors, what a breath of fresh air! It was amazing, fantastic, refreshing and down right FUN!

We love going to Hudson Gardens, several acres of God’s beautiful creation! We searched for leaves, watched ducks and geese, chased butterflies and bugs, tumbled in the grass and climbed a rock cave, we even did some bird watching.

Since we are now into to the Fall, we were thrilled to see the …

Hay Maze!

and…

Pumpkin Patch!

We also checked out a Leaf Explorer Pack from the Office, we learned all about leaves and trees. There were a ton of fun activities and surprises in the pack.

We also took along this, (thanks Scribbit!):

Thank you God for the Best classroom we could ever ask for!

Stopping to Smell the Roses, Literally!

I love flowers, I love gardening. Before I had kids, most of my time was spent gardening. I researched, planned, plotted and planted. Fast forward 8 years and I have no time to garden, I figure I will be able to do it again once my kids are a little older.

Until then, I get my flower fix at my local public garden, called Hudson Gardens. 30 acres of God’s beauty in nature. It’s almost heaven!

I wandered through the Rose Garden and snapped some shots of my favorites.

Hope you enjoyed!

Soup. Really, who doesn’t love soup? I know that our family loves soup! Recently, Groupon offered a deal at DaKind Soups in Evergreen. After checking out their STELLAR reviews on Yelp, Google and Yahoo, I purchased the Groupon.
