Annual Family Photos

It is that time of year again, yep, picture time. I am pretty adamant about getting the Allee family pics taken each year. Our lives are always changing, and Braden is growing up so fast that I just cannot imagine not having a family photo for each year of our lives together. My problem is that I cannot bear to cover up the last years pictures..or the year before that, or the year before that, or, well, you get the picture (ha!)...because they are just so darn good (thanks Connie!) So I actually end up with pictures all over the place, and in my office! Well, this years pics are no different, Connie Martin (http://www.conniemartinphotography.com/ - go check her out, she is great) did a fantastic job capturing great smiles and smirks (that is for Braden) of our crew. I had been wanting pics of Braden with his Grandma and Papa John, so we drug them out for the occasion too. Actually we had a really good time taking the pics, so no dragging necessary - ha! Which leads me to a new problem....since we had such a blast, and the pics are so good (hard to take a bad pic of such a good looking crew - really!) I am now going to have to narrow it down and decide between all of the fabulous shots Connie took. What is a girl to do!?!

Awww, I just love this picture, Braden and his Grandma, they are such awesome buddies!!!

This is the "smirk" I was referring to above...doesn't he just look like he is about to do something he probably shouldn't?

Awww, I just love this picture, me and my mom, were are just such awesome buddies (wait didn't I just say that above about Braden and his Grandma - hehehehe!)

Halloween 2009

Okay, okay, I am so behind on posting here on the blog that I almost feel like it is pointless to post pics from Halloween evening trick-or-treating...but then there are those of you who don't have Facebook so you haven't seen the absolutely adorable pictures of Braden and Diana going out Halloween night dressed up as an adorable Lady Bug (LOVE IT!) and the awesomeness of the Black Ninja! So, without further adoo, here are a couple of pictures of the kiddos from that fun evening!

Look how cute they are, I had to talk Diana into putting her tentacles on...they were so cute and totally made the costume complete! Oh, and we cannot forget my ninja fighting machine - how adorable is he :)

Let the candy begging begin...or tick-or-treating I guess it is called - hehehehe!

I do believe my son is sticking his tongue out at me here - boo on him - ha!

We just knocked on the last door of the evening, the kiddos weren't ready to be done, but Deb and I sure were :)

Candy Candy Candy Candy Cannnnnndyyyyyy!!!!

P.S. Diana, I promise you I will get you full copies of ALL pictures I took that evening!!!!
