{Holiday Spirit}

It's that time again and this year I'm definitely feeling the pressure of getting ready for the holidays.....not to mention getting ready for a new baby, but having this little guy around has sure made it fun! He's such a little ham that these pictures totally crack me up! We just put up all of our decorations and he was so funny saying "Cute" every time we pulled something out of the boxes. Such a helper! I hope you are getting into the spirit of things and looking forward to having some family time for the holidays, I know I am!!

{So cute}

Okay, I am just dying over how these are so cute!! I made these for our new little girl that's on the way and they are super easy and super cute! I think the apple is my favorite and I have a lot of baby showers I could make these for so I'm thinking these are a new favorite thing of mine. I can't wait to see our little girl in one, 3 more weeks!! Oh, and P.S. I got a few more pics up of my sister's engagement session over on my photo blog, many more to come!

{In Love}

Okay, so this is my Fabulously gorgeous sister who just happens to be getting married in July!! I am so excited for them and our whole family just loves the handsome Mr. "B", we couldn't be happier that they have taken the next step! They truly are made for each other and it was so cute to watch them during our little session. They have such a sincere and very down-to-earth way about them and I know they'll be so happy together. Congrats you two!! Here are just two of the pics we took, I'm really excited with how they turned out, there are a lot of great ones to choose from. I'll try to get the rest done soon, probably after the holiday.....for now here's a sneak peek! Love you guys and thanks for going along with all my silly ideas :) xo, Jen

{Family Time}

I thought it was about time I got some pics of little man but I don't think he had the same idea in mind. ha!! :) We soooo need to get a family picture done for Christmas cards and this was our attempt but I think I had better try one more time. My two boys were SO excited to get their pictures taken you can totally tell by their super-happy, smiley faces! :) Bribes were definitely necessary and even though it was a little crazy I think we ended up with some cute ones of E-man. In other news.......drumroll please..............I HAVE AN OFFICIAL WEBSITE!!! I'm so excited and you can check it out here www.jennyesterbrookphotography.com !! Bear with me though, I'm still working on it slowly but surely, and have many things I need to do with it but I think it's a great start. I'll soon have it easily accessible from both blogs as well. This way I won't have to post so many pictures on my photo blog, clients can view the gallery on the actual website instead. Yay!! Please go and check it out, it would make me feel fabulous and feel free to let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions, I'm open to any help you may have.

On a side note, for Thanksgiving we get to head to Taner's Aunt's house in Tulare and we can't wait! Taner's grandparents, dad, etc. will all be there and they have this fabulous farm with all kinds of animals for Eli to explore. He's in heaven every time we go and I can't wait to get some cute pics of him "runnin' free". I also have a really cute idea for our Christmas pic so cross your fingers that everyone is willing to play along........hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, this is one of my favorites! xo, Jen

{Cutie Patooties!}

Can you say Oh my cuteness?!! I have the most adorable nieces and Eli was in heaven chasing around these little cuties. I have picked out a few faves that I love, believe me it was tough, and I have them posted on my photo blog if you want to check them out. As for the rest of the fun pics, I will have them posted on my official website in a day or so and I will let you know when they are ready to view in the proofing gallery. (Kim, Laurie, Tecee and Nana....I'll let you know all the details once I get them up.) I had a great time, and the girls did a fabulous job even though it was cold and poor little "Z" had to be bribed with loads of gum to convince her to smile, it was sooo worth it once she did! Great seeing you guys, hope you like them!

{My Pea in a Pod}

First of all, let me just apologize for how I'm going to totally overload you with pics, I had a hard time choosing which ones I liked......a big thank you goes to my awesome sis April who took these for me and then I finished the editing. I loved how they turned out especially since I don't have any pictures from when I was pregnant with Eli, except one. Can you believe it? The only regret I have is that I wanted to get a couple with Taner and Eli, and a few bare tummy shots, but Taner was gone hunting, Eli was seeing Grandma and there were hunters walking around this area so I was a little nervous about stripping in the tall grass!

So, here they are, these were taken when I was 8 months along and I don't have too much longer now! I'm getting really excited but also a little nervous. How is it going to be with two rather than one, and how is our family going to adjust to all the changes? I know everything will be fine but I'm mostly just anxious and excited to meet our new little girl. I guess I'm also kind of sad to think that this is my last month with just Eli and I'm trying to take every moment in with him. He is my little sunshine and I love him so much, I hope he'll be excited for a little sister too.

Thanks again April, you are amazing and I love you tons!

{Halloween}

This year's Halloween was too much fun! Eli is in LOVE with Grandma and Papa's kitties and he still talks about them and prays for them, hee hee. He wasn't so sure about carving pumpkins though......we also had to bribe him with about 3 mini bags of m&m's to get him into his scarecrow costume but once he got it on he was a champ! I wasn't sure if he'd really get the whole "trick-or-treat" idea but he caught on quick and was going up to everyone for candy. His cousins Eryka and Kaylee were so cute in their witch and monkey costumes that we just had to snap a few pics. Thanks Grandma LoLo for such a fun Halloween and mom, your pumpkin rocked!
