Brooklyn at 9 months

I got to take some pictures of my niece Brooklyn at 9 months.  To get the shots done it took 4 adults and Brooklyn.  But once again, I learned a lot in the process.

Photo Field Trip

After we took Ben to school the twins and I drove around a bit and found some fun things to take pictures of.  Well...I looked for things to take pictures of and E and D watch a Wiggles DVD.  We ended up at Kum and Go were E and D got fun juice boxes with Thomas the Tank Engine on top.  All and all a fun morning.

More Basketball Fun

Go Mustangs

On Saturday night we went with Ben's 2nd grade basketball team to watch the varsity team play at Wells Fargo Area.  These are a couple shots of the varsity team.

The Mustangs came back to win this game.  Go Mustangs!!!!

Me

I tried my luck at taking my own picture today.  It was way more running back and forth then I anticipated.

Big Boys

Today the twins started a one-day-a-week preschool program.  They walked in, started to play and never looked back.  I however, made it to the parking lot and let the tears fly.  All you ever want is for your kids to grow up and then when they do it is so hard to say good-bye.  But I am so glad they had fun!

And this is how my twins roll.  They really supported each other today.  I knew I raised two at the same time for a reason.

Trial Photo Shoot

After church today the boys let me shoot some pictures.  Each time I do something like this I learn so much.  Next time I will be able to do better.  But it was fun while it lasted!

New Photo Suff

I got some new photography stuff today and Ethan was a (sort of) willing helper so I could try it out.

Aunt Anna

William and Brooklyn came to spend some time with Aunt Anna and their cousins.  We went outside to play in the snow and lasted about 5 minutes.  William was not to sure about the wind in his face.

Test Photos

With the twins napping and Brent and Ben at one of Ben's basketball games I had a rare couple hours to myself.  I am sure there are a million things I should be doing but I decided to try out some new photo props.  This is the best kind of test subject because there is no crying and no moving.  My kids would not have sat still for this anyway.

New Ver Ploeg Pet

This is the new fish Ben got for Christmas.  This is actually the second fish, Finly did not last to long.  This fish has no name yet but all the kids enjoy watching him swim around.

Christmas In Pella

 Does it get any better than orange soda?
