the pampuchs | family

There are so many sessions from the past fall that I adore but was never able to find time to blog about them. Maybe now I can finally get caught up?!?! Here's the first one that most definitely deserves some blog love.

Meet the Pampuchs. SUCH a beautiful family and this session definitely seems to hold a special place in my heart. And what makes it more special? They are neighbors and long time friends of the family. In fact, believe it or not Mom Kim used to babysit my sister-in-law when they were all younger! Quite a few people are shocked when I tell them that since these lovely ladies all look like they could be sisters! {Yes, I have had people ask me this a few times!}. They are definitely a family to look up to and my husband has even many times said he always wanted a family like theirs and two daughters of his own someday. Well, we have one girl....and he is wishing for a second...so only time will tell!

So, onto what we're all here for: pictures!

Are the WINNERS of the kiddos are.......

Boys!

A total of 136 votes came in for the boys and the majority says: Colton!  Yay!  There were THREE others who were tied for second place though which was pretty cool and a close race. Colton's signature way to catch the ladies include making tractor noises and batting his pretty green eyes. I'm not going to lie, I later told my husband that Colton was now added to my daughter's list of potential husbands one day. hehe   

Girls!

There were only 63 votes for the girls, but these cuties won by a landslide. They belong to one of my good friends and they are oh-so-adorable! Big sis is the best helper for her younger brother and sisters. I'm so proud to know her Mom and be able to share secrets and frustrations with her and know she'll always be there for me if needed. xoxo

p.s. Happy Birthday to Baby Girl in this picture who just turned 1!

Don't forget to vote for best of family and love categories. Voting for each of those ends Thursday the 19th at midnight :D

Best of 2011: Family

It's always better when we're together: Family time!

THE RULES: DON'T CHEAT!

1. You can only vote for one photo.

2. If you decide to vote by name, also include the # since there are a couple with the same name.

3. Include your name in the comment field. Technical difficulties are allowing "anonymous" user right now so leave your name or else just "Anonymous" without a name won't be counted.

4. You can get your friends and family to vote but they have to go to my blog and vote for themselves.

5. Deadline: to be determined. I'll keep the voting open for at least a week or two.

6. I will be approving all comments so don't worry if yours doesn't show up right away. It may take me awhile to approve them all.

7. The winner will receive a 7x10 mounted print: extra lustre coating, texture, and on matboard. **The ratio is a bit different than the normal 8x10 but it will allow for no cropping of the photos and you can either get a custom size frame or just place it on a shelf {which is what I love}!
