Apple Picking, anyone?

Anyone up for a little storytime in the fields?  I finally got to take my outdoor pics I have been so excited to do since Mackay arrived.  We accomplished this when he was about 4 weeks old. I really just wanted pictures of my boys, but Dave insisted we try to get some all together. So I had to rally the troops- thanks to my Mom and Brando for coming to help, all too last minute!  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I had so much fun! 

This first one just reminds me of the old-fashioned baseball era. Thanks to Betsy for the classic book! 

This is my absolute FAVORITE shot of the afternoon. Everything: my boy, his laugh and round face, the light, the lens blur, etc.  Love it!

Big Brother is really good at sharing.  He wanted the apple to be Baby's binky.

I must say, this is THEE shot I envisioned this whole shoot for.  Did I get what I wanted? Um, no, but it is cute nonetheless.  We sort of had to save Mackay before he "fell" off Camden's lap. Hmm. There were more apples to pick.

We love storytime at home so why not outside?

Camden couldn't be more excited about the apples if we had bribed him with 100 "guckers"!  He wanted to pick and bite them the entire time. Of course he'll have nothing to do with them at home, but here - "appol" - there was nothing better for him.

Well I can't totally say for Dave, but Camden was not posing!  This quick little glance about melted my lens right off. :) 

This was one of the shots I totally envisioned going to the field for.  Doesn't he look so peaceful?

Yeah! Finally, we were able to catch one with the four of us. Thanks to Brandon for snapping away and Grami for goofing off.  

Laughing with candy in his mouth from Grami.  That's all he needs. "I'm good. I'm good."

Look at my little two year old!  It's like a school picture and I can just envision that, but I am no where ready for it! What a cutie.

GQ or what?  Dave wants to know why Baby Gap hasn't called yet? :)  We're not bragging, really, but who can resist that boy?

So I must thank my behind-the-scenes helpers! Brandon, AKA "Always there when you need him," came as friend, photographer, and entertainer to Camden. I didn't realize how much I needed these two until they were there helping us!

And my sweet, beautiful Mom, we couldn't have done it without her. She always knows where I need her and somehow was just there with her open arms. Talk about best friends who come the day you call them! Thanks so much! We love you!
