Joah's Birthday and "The List"

Wow!  A lot has happened since my last post!  My nephew, Joah, turned one, and I went back home to southeast Missouri to help celebrate it.  Below are a couple of shots of my Mom making his cake.  Her cakes are absolutely AMAZING, and I wish she would go into business doing them.  I'm not just saying this as her daughter, but I've tasted a lot of cakes in my day, and none can compare to hers... my mouth is watering just thinking about them :)

While Mom was busy with the cake, I took Joah up to my Grandmas' for a quick photo shoot in the fields.  He's so darn cute I can't stand it!

I love this one below; he looks so deep in thought.

He loved the tractor ride with his Papa!

This one is another favorite of mine; my Dad with his grandson... so sweet!

Here is a shot of the finished cake!  All I can say is WOW!

My brother got a hold of Joah's bubbles and had some fun of his own.

On our last day, we took a walk through Sam-A-Baker state park... I always love going there.

Shortly after returning home I turned 29 for the first time, yes, I say for the first time, as I have every intention of turning 29 again next year :)  Paul and I also celebrated our 3 year anniversary yesterday.  Time has really flown by!

I've also had a huge To-Do list laying around for quite sometime, but just couldn't seem to get up the energy to cross things off.  I blame it on the crazy weather here; 60s and 70s one day and snow the next.... Ugh!  So, slowly but surely I'm getting things done.  I did a couple of sessions earlier in the week that I will post later, and have an engagement session scheduled at the end of this month with another fellow photographer... I'm really excited about that!  Now, off to my list...
