Fall/Halloween pictures

Everyone says "you must have a thousand great pictures of Cole"....uh wrong!!! When I'm behind the camera, I'm still Mom and like many of you, I can't get my child to look at the camera!

Thankfully Dal was there to help get his attention too :) Our "session" was rushed but I wanted to share these pics anyway. We also went to Boo at the Zoo and Cole learned a little how to Trick or Treat. Well he knows to hold his bucket out so people can put candy in it anyways!!


He is supposed to be a cowboy for Halloween. However, I couldn't get him to wear his cowboy hat nor hold his horse for these pictures....so he ended up looking like a farmer instead!! haha!! If I can get the hat and horse in any pictures tomorrow, I'll be sure to post them :)

I hope everyone has a Happy and SAFE Halloween!!!

Uncle Brent's visit

My brother came into town last weekend. I'm so happy that I was able to get few (not great, but ok) shots of him and Cole together. These pictures were very impromptu but hopefully I can get more great shots when he comes back next month :)

the Captured Moments STUDIO

For the past month, Dal, his dad and uncle have been working around the clock to finish my brand new studio in our basement. They just finished and I am absolutely thrilled with the way it turned out!!!! I still have to decorate the walls and do some paint touch ups but it is ready to use :) I am so excited about my studio shoots for this Saturday.

Check out the pictures on my photography blog..

Swine Flu attacks....

We found out yesterday that Cole has swine flu :( We have battled a fever of 103-104 for the past two days. Today he seems to be doing a little better and his fever is stayed around 101 thankfully.

Dal had swine flu a couple of weeks ago so we are all too familiar with this irritating virus.

Hopefully I will stay well...I have lots of photo editing to catch up on as well as more photo shoots this weekend!

Please say a prayer that Cole continues to get better and we can say goodbye to the flu for good!!! :)

We're still here!!!

Ok so I realize that I've been a baaaaad blogger lately :( We have been so busy and it's hard to find the time! I'm going to try and do better!!! We have lots coming up...the Pumpkin Patch, Elmo Live!, and Disney on Ice...hopefully I'll get to share lots of pictures with everyone very soon!

Cole started Mother's Day Out today...he was supposed to start in Sept., but seeing that swine flu seemed to be spreading like fire, we decided to keep him home for a while. I couldn't believe how emotional I was though! When I was making his lunch this morning, I started crying!!! When we got to MDO, he walked right in his classroom and started playing :) His teachers said he did great!

Dal is wrapping up his Pizitz Football season in a few weeks :) Cole loves the cheerleaders and the band!!

Cole and I took a trip to the zoo yesterday...I thought the weather was great but I would have liked it to be a little less humid. We had a great time anyway! Can't wait for Boo at the Zoo now!


We have been working non-stop on finishing my photograph studio in our home (and by "we", I mean Dal's dad and uncle). It is looking great and if all goes well, it will be completely finished sometime next week :) Here's Cole helping us getting ready to lay the hardwoods (and I can say "us" because I was involved in this part of the construction). I plan on posting pictures of the new studio sometime next week!
