ADORE is just not strong enough a word to explain how I feel about this family.  I truly love them and wish we could just pack them up in our bags and take them with us wherever we go.  Amy and Jamie just get me and my husband.  We have so many things in common and share the same kooky sense of humor.  For me, Amy is just one of those friends that I can pick up with at anytime, like no time has past at all. 

Um, oh yeah…they have the most adorable children, too!  I’m embarrassed to say that I just cannot tell Caden and Jamison apart–the are so identical aside from one little tiny dot.  My Cody calls them Cadison and James–or some crazy version of their names combined.  Whatever we call them, they will always be special to us.  Meet Jamie, Amy, Caden, Jamison, and Princess Peyton…

Jamie and Amy, I think this last image needs to be your Christmas card photo!  Love you guys! 

Little Caden is one of my baby plan kiddos.  I’ve loved watching him grow up.  Look at him now…newborn to RUNNING!

And we snuck in a quick session with Caden’s cousin, Ethan.  What a cutie.

The last two official sessions of this year were of my baby plan kiddos–who are now done with their first year and growing up!  This is Lauren, whom I’ve shot since she was a newborn.  I’ve loved watching her grow from a teeny tiny little thing into a spirited little girl.  I’ll miss you guys!

Ahh, boys…*sigh*…I just love them so.  Aiden and Brooklyn reminded me so much of my boys.  The oldest, Aiden…sweet and sensitive, loving up on his mom.  The youngest, Brooklyn…tough and athletic, ready to get dirty in the leaves.  What is it about boys that makes my heart flip flop? 

Meet the gorgeous Ruble Family…

Two sessions this year with Luke and his family and he just gets cuter everytime.  He’ll be walking soon, developing his independent attitude and won’t be as quick to turn on that smile–but for now I’m gonna soak up all that JOY!
