another one of my favorites from my trip to wisconsin!  i was afraid we were going to get rained out… but the weather held just for us!  but what’s more fun than rain? CANDY RAIN!  and two little kids to sprinkle skittles over!  bring it on rain, we dare you.

seriously though, how beautiful is this family?  and Casey, the youngest boy provided tons of laughs and kept us all on our toes!  I can not get over what an amazing big brother TJ is, you can see how the two little ones adore and look up to him.  he has all the patience in the world with them.  there was a large age difference between my older brothers and sisters, and it reminds me of how i used to (and still do!) look up to them.  and note to self: ALWAYS find a grassy hill when shooting kids.  done, done, and DONE.  now, to find grassy hills in florida…..

PS: just got my new Nikon D3S tonight!  it is sitting there, looking at me, intimidating me just DARING me to take a picture.  i’m not sure my arms can lift it up, i’m going to have to start lifting weights (or just taking pictures).  we’re going to have to make friends.  maybe if i bedazzle it?  hmmm…… i might have some puff paint…
