2010 Family Pics

Happy Wife~ Happy Life!

Ok, I'm gonna confess here..My lil idea of a nice little family picture on the dock...looking all lovely...HA!  Until I got home and noticed the TRAILERS in the background!  I was laughing so hard I couldn't stand it!  We all had a good chuckle because I tried so hard to have this all planned, organized at just the right time, running down to the dock at dusk!  Yelling at everyone- "hurry-go-get your shoes off-hurry, the sun's going down-time's a running out! Sit here, sit there, Tanner you sit here-hold Gabi-Grace! Jump in here and just sit! Throw the blanket-hurry! Isa! sit! Mateo! Sit!  Izzy! what are you doing????! (holding down the other side of the bench so Tanner doesn't fall in the lake!)  ..OH!   ok! hurry everyone!  SMILE!  Don't move! push the timer....Run mom!  Sit mom!......tick tick tick tick....CLICK!  whew!  We got it!  Yay!  Perfect! 

Home we go...upload picture...YOU ARE KIDDING ME! lol lol lol!  GOTTA LOVE IT! 

But when you get your Christmas cards this year...don't be doing a "where's Waldo" looking for that trailer, cause it will be GONE! lol!  Ah, the beauty of technology...stay tuned...



The Villegas Family 2010

                                       

FALL IS HERE! YAY!

Well, the kids are well aware of my craziness that happens every Fall!  The picture-taking psycho comes out in me and they have all learned how the plan goes...Don't tell mom "no"... Wear what she wants you to wear...do your hair the way she wants it done...yada yada yada...lol!  Actually, they are all really good about letting me go thru my phase every year.  Even Tanner showed up ready to roll for me!  I have to say the one person that truly gives ALL is my amazing husband!  HE ROCKS!  Whatever I need-He gets it!  Yesterday, he was in the storage unit looking for a bench so we could put it on the dock! LOL!  This man is outstanding when I'm having my photo crisis!  Never complains, just gathers kids, puts them in place and smiles! Woo-Hoo for my Hubby!

Now I know it sounds like I get alittle crazy...and I do...but photo memories are so important for me to give to my children.  I don't have any photos of me from birth to about 6 months and I just don't ever want my kids to wonder..."where was I at this time?"  Believe me!  They will be so sick of look'n at their cute lil mugs, they'll always know! LOL!   So- CHEERS TO FALL! (Ya'll)!

2010 Fall Pictures of Kids

Isabella 12 yrs old!

Wow, 12 yrs old already!  Isa wanted to take her school pics outside so we went off to Lake Afton and took over a dock where a cute little old man was fishing.  He didn't mind us and we just shook that poor dock all over while we were taking pictures!  I'm suprised the poor guy didn't fall over!  But, he just kept fishing and enjoying his lil piece of bliss. 

Ok, I hate to say it but I have so much fun taking pics of Isa that sometimes I forget she's only 12!  Such a beautiful day and we both got some "girl time" before the other kiddos got home from school!  Luv it!

The Tin shed was a fun prop for us!  The problem was all the cobwebs and spiders! 

Gabi  6 years old

Taking the kids out for a little picture taking is always alittle more than I expect!  I don't know why...I've been doing this long enuff to know that I always get caught up in the moments and don't want to leave.  On the other hand..Gabi was re-thinking this whole thing!

Grace was working it that day!  She was loving it!  She had her new Jeans on and had her hair curled and she was having an awesome day!

Mateo  10 yrs old

Oh Mateo..what can I say?  5 minutes before we were to take pictures, Mateo had helmet hair from riding his bike and was sweating profusely! We DID talk him into a quick haircut on the way to take the pictures!  He was alittle sad cause he was trying to grow it out, but we compromised!  We took 2 pictures of Mateo and he was done!  lol...I'll be back!  for more!

Walter's Pumpkin Patch! 2010 October



Kids only get this close like once a year!  (I think they are
really trying to see who's going off the bridge first!)

Awww!  There you go!

Mom's trying not to pee her pants!



Walter's was sooo fun for the kids!  It was a really hot day for October
and the place was beautiful!  Great to see the kids have some fun...some
fighting too!  But all in all it was another memory made! Just wish Tanner
could have been with us..that leaving the nest thing...mom's not so sure she
likes it...
