We were able to sneak this shoot in while everyone was home for Christmas break!

December was quite a busy month for the Ver Meer household.  It seems as though it came and went in a flash!! The month started with Carter's 5th birthday on the 8th, and next on the list was the church Christmas program.

We celebrated all the boys' birthdays on Saturday the 18th, and the house was filled with 13 wild boys aged 4-6.  It doesn't help when three of the are our own.  :-)

We ended the month visiting family, opening presents, and swimming at the motel.

What a way to end 2010!!!  Looking forward to a joyous 2011!

Look Who's Five

Carter celebrated his 5th birthday this week.  I look back 5 years ago when he was born, and am reminded how busy life was back then.  The twins were only 11.5 months old.  I had three babies under 1, and Christmas was right around the corner.  Although Carter was a surprise pregnancy, he was the best Christmas gift I could have ever asked for.  He will always be the baby of the family and very special boy to all of us!

 He was really excited about his birthday cards with money and his presents!

 He was quite bashful with the birthday song singing though!  :-)

Happy Birthday Carter.... and here's to many more to come!!

Happy Halloween!

What gorgeous weather we have had lately!  It was a perfect night for trick-or-treating.   The boys were ready to go!!  Carter was dressed as Wolverine,

 Mason was a GI Joe commander Snake Eyes,

 and Spencer went as Iron Man.

 All of my little Super Heroes!

 There were plenty creepy and scary sights lurking around every corner.  Carter being the cautious one always had to assess the situation before heading in for the candy.

 Why, here he is now... assessing the situation from the back row.  Something tells him to proceed with caution!

 He's not so sure about this place and the strange growls coming from the front porch.

 Yep... I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to go up there.

 This is where he turns around and decides that the candy is DEFINITELY not worth it!

Fall Fun!

We have been thoroughly enjoying the weather lately and getting outside every chance we get. Last weekend we made a trip to the Pumpkin Patch.  A great time was had by all picking pumpkins in the patch and apples in the orchard.
