Weekend at Big Canoe

Josh's brother, Cody, was home visiting on a two-week break from his tour in Bahrain, so the whole family went up to Big Canoe for a mini-vacation at the end of September.  We had a great time relaxing in the mountains with the Gentry/Johnson/Ford clan.  We visited Burt's Pumpkin Farm and a huge sunflower field on Saturday, and we rented a boat and spent the morning on the lake on Sunday.  It was such a fun weekend! (more pictures to be added later)

River Club Sister Mini Session

I absolutely LOVE my parents' neighborhood, The River Club.  It is made to look like a mountain lodge neighborhood, and I tried to take advantage of having to live with them for a month while our house was being worked on by taking the kids' pictures all around the club. Here are some pictures of our mini session with just the girlies at the activities center at the River Club.

Alli's First Haircut

It only took us three years, but we finally took Alli for her first haircut while Lila was at school. We went to Pigtails and Crewcuts, and it is the cutest place! Alli picked out the police car to sit in and was a great listener when the stylist would give her directions. She looks so cute with her new haircut, and the stylist even have her a little braid at the end.
