Semi-older Pictures

This is Ben's last week of Realty school... WAHOO!  He is loving it...... and looking for clients! ;)  He's scheduled to take the state exam a week from today.  After that (assuming he passes the first time... hehe), he will officially be a Real estate agent!  I'm so proud of him.  He has worked just as hard for this as he did for his undergrad.  He's still in the process of ironing out some wrinkles so he can submit the rest of his Grad school application.  But it's looking like we're going to get it in on time.

One week from tomorrow Ben's little sis, Holly, flies in from Cape Verde where she served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  We're so proud of her for how hard she has worked over the last year and a half.  And we are, once again, SO excited to see her!  The next day we will all head off to McCall for about a month.  I'm excited for Jacob to get to play with his cousins... he loves them!  I'm sure Aaron will just eat up the attention, too. He's such a little sweetheart, but he CANNOT stand to be alone for more than a few seconds!  lol.

Below are some older pictures I finally edited.  The first group just cracks me up.  Jacob is really in the "little scientist stage."

Before Aaron was born, Jacob was really into getting into his toy basket.  This is how we found him late one night when we went in to check on him.... toys on the floor, in his basket, and fast asleep!  We turned on the light so we could get a picture..... he didn't appreciate that too much. ;)

Back in June we had a Relief Society activity where we made body scrub.  It was so fun!  And it smells SO good!  Mine smell like orange cream Popsicles.... Mmmm!  I had a fun little photo shoot.  It was my first real attempt at product photography. :)

In July I took a Table Top photography class from Nicole Hill Gerulat.  One of our assignments was to create a "magazine cover."  This is my attempt right off the top of my head.  I think I did pretty decent for not studying up first!

In May I got to photograph my GORGEOUS sister in the law, Liesel.  We had fun together, and we're really happy with the way the pictures turned out!

I took this picture of Aaron just yesterday.... isn't that the saddest?!!  It's a classic, blackmail shot.  hehe.  He's just so darn cute... even when he cries!  (don't worry, I picked him up right after!!  ;)  )

Well, I still have a lot more to post.  But there's some enjoyment for you for now. ;)
Night!
