April 18th, Happy birthday, Ryan!

I can't tell you how much the family K means to us...they've truely become our family away from home :) It's been such a blessing to know them as their family has grown. I think I'm in denial that we've been in SoCal so long...it seems like yesterday that Tami told me that she was pregnant with a little sibling for Tristan and Ashton...and now their little brother is one year old! Crazy. Just crazy!

We're celebrating this special little friend all weekend, with his first birthday party (and pictures...of course!) today and more photos tomorrow morning. (so watch my portfolio next week to see his latest formal shots :) )

I took so many photos today, so I'll focus with ones with Sam in them, and offer a few of the birthday boy and his family that we love so much.

Here's about 100 photos of Sam trying to hit the pinata :)





When's the candy going to come out???



Still trying :)


Happy birthday, Ryan!!!


The amazing cake that Tami made! I need to take a lesson from her before Sam's birthday :)


Sam and the other kids, after some left, played Hide N Go Seek with Adam. Here's Sam hiding...


Right when Adam and Ashton found Sam...


This round, the kids hid together :)


Adam found them!!!


Stacking blocks specially made for Ryan...


Lion and Lamb cookies for our Twilight Mom's Night In last night :) ...you know "so the lion fell in love with the lamb." "what a stupid lamb" "what a sick, masochistic lion"...
