A Baby Turtle and Some Sick Kids

While out playing earlier this week my nephew spotted this baby turtle. How cute is this thing? The kids played with it for a long time, taking it on bike rides, carrying it around, and basically just showing this turtle a really fun time. Finally though, we put him back to find his mommy by the lake. Something tells me that this turtle sighed a big sigh of relief when we left him alone.




I've been MIA from blogging lately because of a whole bunch of meetings that I've been going to, doing sitting for people and editing, but mostly because my kids last week were sick. Last week in the middle of the night I got up with Trey because I heard him crying. So, I fumble up the stairs to his room find him in his bed blazing hot. I take his temperature and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that it reached 105.3. That's right ladies and gentlemen, 105.3. So mommy mode kicks in and I strip him down to his diaper and immediately call the doctor. Apparently being as old as he is a temperature that high is OK, but she wanted to see him in the morning. What was his diagnoses you ask? An ear infection. Only an ear infection. Then a few days later, Rylee started to act really weird and not herself. Another trip to the doctor later and another diagnoses of an ear infection. When it rains it pours.

A New Addition to Our Family

That's right. The Siereveld household will have 9 new additions to our family this Spring. Look what we found underneath our deck's stairs today while barking...



Duck eggs! I can't wait to watch these little buggers swim around when they hatch. Anyone that knows me knows that I love to watch birds. My favorite is the Blue Heron. I think they are so mysterious, I just love that! It is pretty cool too, to see Swans fly into the water. If only I had my camera at that moment!

On the Move

This little guy is just over 15 months old. Boy does he like to move! 15 months is a challenging age to photograph. Kids that age have WAY better things to do than get their pictures taken, but thankfully he did sit still enough to snatch up a few keepers! Thanks Rachel for bringing him in today for some pictures! Hope you enjoyed your sneak peek!

Downtown Girls

I've been MIA for a little while, my blogging just kind of got away from me. You would think that I have 3 small kids or something...

Last night I went out with a couple of area photographers to go exploring for fun new places to do sittings. It was really cold but worth it because we had so much fun and we found some fun spots! Here's some of the results...


Meet Jessica,

And Summer.



It was great to hang out with you guys last night! I can't wait to see more of your pictures!

The Spider is Coming

That's right, my oldest is having a birthday this weekend! The theme for his birthday party is Spider man. Joe and I were planning on getting him a "big boy" bike for his birthday with training wheels and the whole nine yards. Well, while Gibson and I were out last week I decided to have him try out some bikes to make sure we got him the right size. Then there it was. The most wonderful bike a four year old could ever have. It was a Spider man bike. Little does Gibson know, but that bike is currently in our basement waiting for him until his party.

Can you guess how old he is going to be?

He is SO excited!

Put on your masks, get your webs ready, Spider man is coming to visit on Saturday!
