True is Two Pictures

Last week I had the opportunity to capture my sweet little niece True with her "Two Year Old" pictures. She really was more fascinated with "Puppy" and the "Meow" then having her pictures taken, but she still did good, and kept her auntie running.

My favorite shots of the day

 True in her "princess" chair and her "2" pumpkin, and about ready to take off. Had to shoot fast, cause she has more energy than I can dream of.

 Those that know True, know this is a True expression all the way! 

 She loved the "Meow" Fluffy (Charcoal) 

 Always on the run

 This is True doing her "Up" expression (when he lifts the house) and the wind helped make it even more hilarious. True, you are always making us laugh. She really couldn't get Pooh out of the pumpkin and had to have her mom help her get him out.

 One of the few times she actually looked at me. So precious.

 Admiring Grandma Honey's Porcelain doll.

 Trying on the doll's hat.

 She loved Grandma's old Ukulele, which she called the "'tar"

 Warming her auntie's heart with the fascination of playing a guitar or Uke

 Where's the puppy?

 Daddy's coming!

Piglet and True nose to nose!

A September Sunset

Yes, I know it's November, but I was flipping through pictures tonight and came across this picture I took back in September, and thought it was so pretty.  Kristi and I were driving home from a photo shoot when we saw this by the lake by Napoleon.  Since I actually had my camera with, I just had to stop and snap a few shots. Hope you enjoy it too.

Kristi's Drivers License and Saying good bye to Sonny

Yesterday Kristi became ND newest licensed driver. And with that little plastic card comes responsibility.

We also said good bye to Sonny, our 18 year old gelding. He's now hopefully (if he passes the test) will be helping kids and adults at the Soaring Spirits Riding Arena. A Equine Horse therapy program.

Sonny was the horse that Todd had his accident on 9 years ago, but really no fault of the horse. We hope in some way though this can redeem some of the pain in our lives, but helping others. Sonny, I hope you pass and can be a blessing to others.

 Here's Sonny with his new owner Kent Graham.

 This is our kitty Charcoal, but I keep calling him "Fluffy" so maybe his name should be "Fluffy Charcoal."  He's going to be put to work, keeping the mice down and out of all our stuff in storage. Hope you like your new home too Charcoal.

Kent also took our horse Lakota (formerly called Crash) to try out. He's hoping a friend of his in Montana will be interested in him.  Lakota is one  of the colts out of Tyson's horse Faith. Tyson had called him "Crash" after a drum cymbal, but when we bought him from Tyson, I felt the name could have another bad connection, so Todd renamed him Lakota cause he was so friendly. 

True turned Two

My sweet little niece turned two on Sunday. Her birthday was all Pooh. Here's a couple of shots from her party. 

 Mommie Tracie made the cutest cake ever!! Mickey, Pooh, and Red Bear all on a blanket for a birthday picnic on a grassy field. How cute!! You are so creative Tracie!!

 Love this picture of True.

 Nobody is getting this cake but me!!! I'm keeping my eye on you BeeOp! (Grandpa)

 Auntie Kimmie and Auntie Debbie gave her this Pooh and Piglet. I think by the look on her face she kind of liked the gift!

 What could be better? Pooh and Piglet and a ball

 We gave her this Pooh. I think she liked this one too, can you tell?

 True's Mom and Dad.  Thanks for having this great kid to bring us all so much entertainment and joy!!

 My favorite picture of the day. Reflections of True.

 True was showing Gramma Honey how she marches to the Pooh song.

No Auntie Kimmie, you can't have my new Pooh and Piglet. LOL
