Seth's 1st Birthday Party

A few weeks ago, we had a big blowout bash for Seth's first birthday. I had so much fun planning it! We did a sock monkey theme, complete with sock monkey ornaments as favors (it is Christmas time!). It took him a little bit to get into his cake, but once he got going, he loved it. (He is MY son, right?) But our second attempt at the cake went much smoother when we gave him a cupcake the next day without all the people watching. I think it's safe to say my son has inherited my sweet tooth. (Let's just hope you have daddy's metabolism to match it!).

Thank you to all the friends and family who came out to celebrate our little man. We are so blessed by all of you!



















I want to say a special thanks to Oh My Gluestick for the awesome Sock monkey party favor bags, hats, cake topper, and cupcake toppers! I loved it all!!

Ethan Stoffer is 6 months old!

These kids grow up way too fast. Ethan Stoffer is now 6 months old! And what a little ham! He has the biggest blue eyes and one of the sweetest smiles. I think his cuteness might actually rival Seth's (just kidding, Seth - you know I love you!). But seriously, I cannot get enough of this little man! Here's just a few to prove it....

Our life in 4 frames....

Makes me laugh every time....

Landon and Family

In case you lost track, my 10th nephew/niece was born in October! Yes, that makes 10 cousins for Seth, and at the rate we're going, it doesn't look like that's the end either. You may remember Landon's birth pictures, which feels like it was only yesterday. But here we are, 6 weeks later with a growing little peanut! I was able to photograph Landon with the rest the Skoog family over Thanksgiving. It was complete chaos, with both the hustle of the holidays and trying to keep 3 kids under the age of 4 contained! But we had a good time, nonetheless, and really, a bad photo can't be taken of these cuties!!

Jaimee & Fred's Wedding Day

I am finally able to get this up on the blog! I've been excited to post this wedding because it was so much fun and so beautiful! Jaimee and Fred were married on Nov. 21. Jaimee was absolutely stunning in her dress and veil, not to mention she was ALL smiles all day long. This couple is so unbelievably happy and in love - it was just so amazing to witness. Her face coming down the aisle, then leaving after the ceremony were just priceless. Her cheeks had to hurt by the end of the day. They had a very large wedding party (about 12 on each side), and amazingly they were all very cooperative and made my job easy! Here are just a few favorites from the day.....

I also want to say a special thanks to my friend Erin Dial for helping my preggo self out that day. Thanks, Erin!
