Lots of happy Lindsay and Sterling

Aww, the lovebirds.

Okay, so this was our first quick take. I came home from church and we hopped in the car to take pictures, but after those first kinda silhouettey ones, the light was gone. I should have stopped taking pictures, because then they were fuzzy and just didn't look as great, which was really infuriating when Lindsay and Sterling looked so cute. I'm posting a lot because my sisters want to see these. You can click on them to see them bigger.

1. I call this the chummy pose. Very cute.

2. I think this one is so very happy.

3. See how these are very not sharp? Grrr. But they're still cute.

6. Lindsay is so beautiful. Seriously.

9. The horses came over and kept sticking their noses in the pictures. Durn horses.

10. I love Sterling's expression.

11. And this one looks like Sterling is licking his chops and getting ready to attack the horse. Ha ha!

12.

13. I was trying to get the moon in the pictures, but I couldn't do it right so the moon didn't show up.

14.

15. This is one of the very last before we went in--I love it, but it was getting so dark out and it makes me so mad because it wasn't sharp, but here it is anyway.

16. Same here--but they are just so beautiful.

17. This is my second favorite, I think. Lindsay is a gorgeous model. (and again, so sad about the poor lighting.)

18. My top fave, and my pick for the invitation if it were all up to me.

19. Okay, so I liked the hat in person, but to be honest, in the pictures I think less would have been more. But obviously still very cute.

20. Lindsay calls this one "Sterling is a model."

21. Or maybe it was this one. Either way.

22.

The end. For today. They're coming again on wed. or fri. What do you think?

Handsomest Cowboy in the World

Be still my heart.

Uncle Wyatt said to me, "Do you want me to let go for a second for your picture?" And Talmage said, "Are you kidding me dude? I was born riding horses." And that was Talmage's first sentence.

I love love love LOVE these pictures. And I love thrift stores where you can find cool things like cowboy hats. And I love Talmage most of all.

Halloween

US Marshal and Indian princess.

Man, I love Jethro's get-up. Especially the mustache.

Angel.

Devil.

The cousins (can you spot Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Padma, and Princess Leia?)

My niece Danica. Loved it.

I did her hair. It was awesome.

okay, okay!

You convinced me...just a small sneak peek of Lindsay and Sterling's pictures. Voila.

Beautiful, no? Doesn't it make you feel all happy and smoochey and lovey-dovey?

Now the fun of playing around with it.

p.s. They're getting married in February, so we won't be here for it. Sniff sniff. Unless we don't have our visas by then, in which case I'll be bald because I'll have pulled all my hair out. But don't think about that, think about those cute little smoochy-heads!

AGONY!

Oh the agony--I have soooo many pictures to post--cute Halloween costumes (so cute, seriously!), Talmage on the horse (OH MY GOSH THE CUTEST PICTURES IN THE WORLD!!!!!! I JUST DIE LOOKING AT THEM THEY'RE SO CUTE), Lindsay's engagement pictures (my sister is engaged--ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!--lots of beautiful happy pictures, plus more to come!!), Ethne's little birthday party (and I do mean little--it was a Teeny Weeny Threenie party), pictures of cute Jethro for Grandma's wall (can't decide if I should use a picture showing all his atrocious teeth of various sizes, or a closed-mouth smile for this year--am I too vain?), --the list goes on. So many I can't even start.

I am overwhelmed.
