my perty, perty sis.

this shoot was SO much fun!

this just might be my fave...

love it so much.

but then again...

i don't know...

cuz this next one

is just..well,

drop-dead gorgeous. :)

adorable...
that's what!

old trucks are the best... :)

pure gorgeousness.

growing up,

sisters really do share so much.

they share the same memories,

the same household chores,

the same holiday traditions,

the same relatives,

the same clothes, and

often the same room.

and while time and age

give to each sister new experiences,

even these

get "shared" as

one story after another

comes tumbling out when they get together.

but ultimately, sisters share more than

just time and space together;

they share their hearts.

how do people make it through

life without a sister?

a sister is one of the nicest thing

that can happen to

someone. :)

Wishing you a "Picture Perfect" Christmas

i took these back in october,

after talking hard into letting

my crew get pictures done. :)

i thought i was gonna pass out

from all the running back and forth

to set the camera timer.

...note to self: get a remote

before i try that again...

..oh, and eat first. :)

...

ps. my cousin just told me about an interval

timer that i could use on my camera.

can't wait to try that out. :)

thanks for the tip.

{Merry Christmas}

{her name is t-bone}

her name is t-bone...

so as not to get too attached...

probably should've been named patty, though..

it just sounds more feminine...to me. :)

she's adorable. too adorable.

...ummm, why does she have to be so cute?

she was rejected at birth, by her mother, for her twin.

my daughter faithfully bottle feeds her

every morning and evening, without complaint.

i remember doing this with my sister

when we were kids. it's not quite so

fun when it's cold or rainy. :)

when i was young,i had a calf named "nelly belle".

she was black.

i also had a calf named "butterscotch"

who ended up being a dwarf, and

never got bigger, just fatter.

it's nice that cows aren't as

easy to fall in love with as horses.

they just aren't as personable.

LOVED this truck.

and you are so beautiful. :)

perfect combo.

galloping wildly in the wind.

it's a beautiful thing.

i never tire of it.

the old house..again.
...but i really wanted to take a few of my daughter here. :)
the sun was almost gone, behind the house, by the
time we got there, so i had to really hurry. ;)

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
