Fall Festival 2009---Our Photo Booth

We call these 3 "The Musketeers"! They are church buddies---Kiley Long (cousin/princess), Nicole Rawls(babyhood friend/butterfly)and Dana (Dorothy)


We had the opportunity to set up a photo booth and take pictures of all the guests at our church's Fall Festival. We had fun setting it up (and staying up all night getting them developed to hand out at church the next day). I think Don got an hour and half of sleep that night:) We took over 100 photos! Now that we have our photo umbrellas and backgrounds, I am excited to take my own pictures of the kids at home.

September 2009- Visit from my brother/Sea World San Antonio

My brother returned from his tour of duty in Iraq at the end of August and he came to visit us in Texas. We all went to Sea World San Antonio while he was here. The shows were so much better than I remember them as a child. Beautiful!

Hand-me-down Fun!!!

I remember the excitement of getting hand-me-downs from my best friend growing up. She would send me home with black trash bags full of new clothes for my closet. It was so much fun. My sister sent Jordan some hand-me-downs from his cousin, Bailey. He had to try them on right away. Knowing they used to belong to his cousin, Bailey, made them pretty special:)I had to get a picture of this ensemble!

August 2009-Dad Long's 80th Birthday Celebration

Don's Family reunited in Texas to celebrate Dad's 80th Birthday. All of his children were able to be with him on his birthday (along with a few in-laws, 8 grandchildren and their first great grandchild). It had been 15 years since the last time they were all together at once, so it was very special.

AUGUST 2009-Vacaville, CA
