Baby Shower!

Several weeks before her new ba-bee was due to arrive, Amie scheduled in a baby shower.

An afternoon of fun, food, and games was enjoyed by all.

The arrangement of trees somewhat resembles one of the stamps in Stampin' Up's Lovely As A Tree set, I think

Winter at the Botanic Gardens {Set One}

To be honest I don't get along very well with winter. But using it as an excuse for a photoshoot is perhaps like using a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. Although I would hardly call winter medicine. But anyway. 

Earlier this year I ran a series of posts at the Botanic Gardens, which turned out to be quite popular! Additionally, the time in nature proved refreshing, and the photography experience was both helpful and enjoyable. With all that in mind, I decided to run another series, this time with winter as a theme. Having said that, our temperate climate means these look more like an autumn set. Oh well.

Let me know your favourites in the comments section below!

Jarrod's Birthday || Dinner at Bronco's

Since this year was his big 16th, Jarrod organised for the two of us and a few peeps from church to hit Bronco's (steakhouse) for dinner one night. 

I'm out of brilliant ideas for things to write so without further ado I present some photos to you.

: : Seriously this food is good. I could live off meals like this ;) : :

: : Group photo just before we left. And yes, the camera lens is dirty . . . sorry : :

Bryce || Soccer

So my little(st) bro -- Bryce -- is midway through his first season of soccer. Some of us may or may not be over hearing about it, so I'll let you guys hear about it for a change. Actually, I guess we'll still hear about it too. Oh well. Enjoy some pics of our latest soccer player!

{Dad's looking at this one thinking it's a throwback to Jarrod . . . haha}

{I'm guessing the Jago height genes show later in life? :P}
