Naked and Frog skates.

So when we did our family pictures with Becca, we knew it was going to rain so she suggested that I get him rain boots to use for some of the pictures. When I first got them he refused to wear them. I let it go and left them in his room hopping he would warm up to them in his own time. One morning he came running my room yelling "look at my frog hockey skates" and he has loved them since. I don't know how or why he came up with the idea that his rain boots are hockey skates but, he loves them. Now he is also revolting against clothes. So, when we are home he is naked most of the day...except for his frog stakes.

Our first family pictures.

So I have been stinking at this whole blog thing lately. Not because we have been super busy and I don't have time, I just haven't felt like blogging and I have been a slacker with my camera. However we have been staying some what busy. We have been enjoying this warm weather and have been spending a lot of time at our neighborhood pool, playing in the back yard and just any fun activity we can do outside. We are also trying to plan a family vacation to Washington and Los Angeles in August and we really hope everything works for that. So that is the Garrett family update in nut shell.

Anyways, a few months ago our friend Becca of Rebecca Martinez Photography was visiting Alabama (she lives in FL) and was gracious and did a family session with us. She also did John and my wedding 6 years ago so it was great that she could our family pictures. This was our second attempt to do family pictures, the first session the previous month rained out and this one was also VERY close to being rained out and would have been if I wasn't so stubborn. We did them at Sloss Furnace in Downtown Birmingham. We were only able to last outside for about 20 minutes because it started purring rain and the temperature dropped unexpectedly and it was freezing. So this is what we were able to get in that short time. Over all I am very pleased with them. If you are in need a great photographer and are in the Tampa area she is amazing!
