Family... Gotta love em!

My family came to visit for 4 days last week. It was so nice to have them here with us. Tennessee is VERY different from Vegas in that it is not touristy in the same ways. There are not shows and attractions to see however we do have things that Las Vegas does not. And that's trees and beautiful views. We wanted to show them a good time and do somthign different that they can't do in Las Vegas. So we went to a Corn maze and pumpkin patch in Corryton, TN. Check out the link and see the ariel shots of the corn maze.



I am not sure if you can see the picture of the map Brandon is holding in this picture but it was HUGE. It was in the shape of a FOX and said Great Smokey Mountain National Park. There were a total of 12 check points. In the beginning, we didn't really know what we were doing so in the quest to find check point #1 we ended up at #4! And then when we were looking for #5 we ended up at #12! But once we figured it out it was smooth sailing. Actually Brandon was the navigator so he figured it out and lead the way.



This is a shot of the corn maze. It was a beautiful day.





Fabby & Aaron.
Aaron loved it! He didn't get tired or cranky. I would have loved it more if someone would have carried me through the whole maze... ahh to be a baby again!









I enjoyed the visit SO MUCH! I hope they can come back soon.

Aaron Levi

As everyone is well aware, my mom, sister and nephew came to visit this weekend. Here are some pictures we took over the weekend!








Aaron was a very good sport and was my model all weekend. I think, he did a good job.

We call this one "exhausted." Sweet.

Thanks Damaris! These look WAY better!

I will post pictures from the rest of our weekend later!

Excited

This is my "I am so excited to see my fam" face! We are driving to Nashville tonight to pick up my mom, Fabby & Aaron. It's going to be a long night and a lot of driving but it is totally worth it!

Surprise!

Brandon surprised me at work with flowers! Isn't he so sweet :-)

Sydnie and Braydon

My friend Alicia was kind enough to let me take pictures of her kids Sydnie and Braydon. We had tons of fun. And needless to say, I learned that it can be very hard to get a 3 year old and 1 year old to cooperate, but we did get some good shots.

I also recently got more aquanited with my photo editing program. I just learned how to use color in black and white photos and I was so proud of me. :)

I found that some of the best shots were when they were not looking at the camera. Go figure! But capturing a true moment sometimes may be more important than a big cheesy grin.

Alicia and her family live in the country so we took these pictures in a big open field. It was such an awesome back drop.

Because the ground was not exactly flat and level little Braydon here had some trouble staying on his feet.

So let me know what you think!
