Lutes photo session

So until I get my photography blog up and running this one will have to do.
I have been busy taking pictures the last couple of weeks and just wanted to share a few.
Here are some from my girl A and her sweet family. Love you guys!

Color me Wonderful

I love teaching Conan new things, but even better is when he surprises me with stuff I didn't know he knew. Like for instance, today at lunch before we started eating he proceeded to "pray" (hands folded and eyes closed) the pledge of allegiance before he ate his sandwich. 1. we pray at night hardly ever at lunch and 2. Had no idea he know the pledge of allegiance. Word for word, people-no mistakes.

Well, miss fancy pants Mama here wanted to show him what different colors made when we mixed them. I set it all up, got the food coloring out, glasses full of water and the stir tick. Before I could even get started he tells me that yellow and blue make green. WHAT! So I tested him and asked what made orange and purple.....he told me. I felt schooled. I am so going to have to do some research and find out what the heck I should be teaching him.

We miss Ms. Emily. Bad, real bad.

Taylor's 9th grade/15 year session

Way behind, so I will post more later.

Conan's 3rd year photo session, with his best buddy Makena

Here he is with all his funny expressions. He is defining himself more and more. I love how everyday he makes me giggle and wonder what I did to deserve the little guy.

I love sweet boy!

Holy Cow....He's almost 3!

I took his 3rd year pictures today...he is such a mess..but a cute one.
He really wanted to wear a pirate shirt and he picked out the spider web converse.
More pics to come...I have some of Mak that are way too cute.

He will be three in: 25 days! Yikes

Roller Coaster Day!

Whew! I am so glad that is over. I was really proud of Conan yesterday. He was so brave and strong. He made friends with the surgery staff the minuet we walked in the door carrying his dinosaur and train set. I truly believe my son doesn't know a stranger. While I was filling out paper work Chris got Conan changed into his hospital gown and the nurse was so sweet to let Conan help her take his vitals. He pushed buttons, sat still, asked why about a thousand times, and clapped when they were done. He has such a huge smile and wants to make everyone around him laugh. Conan went right to the anesthesiologist when they came to take him back, not so much as a whimper.

The procedure lasted about 45min. Dr. Baseman came to tell us that everything went great. Conan was doing fine and that we could go see him in recovery. That is where the fun began. Conan we completely disoriented and confused. He was screaming, kicking, hitting, arching his back and pushing us away. That little guy can get pretty freaking strong. This went on for a solid 25 min. We were worn out. This is when the tears came. I felt so sorry for him, he didn't even want me to hold him and he kept trying to pull his IV out. All I wanted to do was console and comfort him and it broke my heart. After about 25 min he finally let me rock him and he fell asleep. He was still asleep when they released him and he slept most of the way home. When we were almost home he woke up all chipper and asked if he could eat lunch.

He slept through the night and is pretty sleepy today. Happy but calm. :)

Thanks to everyone that called, came to see us, e-mailed and prayed for us! It sure made us feel great knowing he was in everyone's thoughts. Here are a few pics.

Awe...they are the cutest!

I shot their engagement session on Saturday in Dallas. They are so cute and a blast to work with, not to mention absolutely adorable. I wish them all the best and I can't wait to do the wedding in November.
