What a Christmas!

I ended up at Jon's farm and got snowed in there for the majority of Christmas! Was sad I missed out on visiting with the other family members...but we managed to celebrate 4 pretty yummy Christmases on the farm! Now I just have to figure out how to get out of scooping bunks again!

Mr. Marshall's New Thing...

He sure does find things funny now...NOT knee slapin' funny - but close!

Working Calves

As I said to Jon...I finally get a diamond & about cut off the finger it is supposed to be on!

My Marshall

I went to visit this weekend and HAD to have Marshall all to myself for one day...so Dee & Loren stole away to get the Christmas Shopping done! Little did we know...of all the things they brought back - the wrapping paper on the tubes would be the biggest hit! So if you are not sure what to get Marshall for Christmas (hell - or even Dee, Loren & Erin...we all got into it) get us the long tubes of wrapping paper BUT they have to still be wrapped in the cellophane...otherwise they don't make as much noise! Isn't he getting soooo BIG! And he just hams it up for my camera - when we are not trying to good ones! ~erin

Marshall's 2009 Advent Calendar

Marshall got to start his advent calendar at the beginning of the month...here are some pages for this year's calendar!

Engaged!

Can hardly believe we get married in less than 6 months! We took our engagement photos this past weekend - 6 months to the day from our wedding as a matter of fact! See more on my ibE blog: http://imagesbyerin.blogspot.com/

November Recap

November really was a busy month! Had a great time in Branson with Grandma - still working on those scrapbook pages! I am about 2 weeks behind right now - BUT my hours changed at work...so I have an excuse! ~ erin

LSL - Lion Sleeps Tonight

Happy Turkey Day!

Spagetti Monster

Marshall tried Spaghetti. Dee told Loren to take his clothes off. Loren looked at Dee like WHAT? He found out later why Dee made him do that!

On the Road Again...

And this time headed to Branson with Grandma Wagner! Follow our travels on my work blog at www.wnax.com

Our Weekend Getaway

Engagement Outfits

Jon and I are FINALLY getting married (in case you haven't heard)...and I went on a shopping trip this weekend and found some clothes to wear in our engagement pictures - which we keep dragging out feet to doing! Dee is going to be our photographer and we will take our photos 6 months to the day from the date of our Wedding! Getting really excited - got my dress ordered, the bridesmaid dresses picked out and the food has been decided as well! It will come faster than we both think!

Do the Honky Tonk Stomp

We were watching the CMA's last week and while Brooks & Dunn performed - Marshall put on a little show of his own (and I had to butt in a bit).

New Addition to images by Erin

As owner of images by Erin, I am pleased to introduce the latest member of our team joining us behind the camera....Mr.Marshall!

As we tried to take family pictures Marshall became more interested in what I was doing behind the camera than being in front of the camera! For a while he would walk around the lights and come plop in my lap and watch the image on the screen pop up! Then he tried for himself (with the help of a remote trigger) and managed to capture some images of Dee and myself! I think it looks like super work...BUT he is too cute to stay solely behind the camera! ~ erin

LSL - Times 2

We both edited videos for this week! See which one you like the best! -d- & ~erin

TWO

LSL - Biggest Fans

We have some monster fans out there...but when I went to visit cousins Tia and Chloe - I may have found the Lip Sync Ladies' Biggest Fans! They were such big fans they talked me into making a video of their own! Thanks for letting me come play girls...and ENJOY the LSL - The Fans version of Taylor Swift:

Windy

It was a great windy day...and we couldn't resist those leaves! They just kept calling to us "Play with me"!

Happy Halloween

LSL do up Monster Mash for the holiday...ENJOY!

Halloween 2009

Jon and I needed a last minute costume for Dee's Halloween Party...so we went as Raggedy Ann & Andy...I think Jon pulls it off better than I do!

Marshall in his Hat

Marshall is in the stage where he is not crazy about wearing hats...but he doesn't seem to mind wearing the one I made him! I think he sure looks good in it - how about you?

Marshall's New Hat

Marshall got himself a new winter hat...in a larger size than last year - but still homemade by me.

LSL - Bad Name

LSL- Sexy Tractor

Mr. Marshall steals the show in this week's LSL video!

Look At Dee's HAIR!

Dee takes us back to a typical day of her High School...and Erin badly plays the guitar!

Marshall: The Deal Hunter

This is my newspaper ad for the upcoming weeks with my new studio mascot...Marshall: The Deal Hunter! Take advantage of this deal yourself! I ship anywhere in the U.S.!

Children of the Corn...

Took some of Marshall's one year pictures last night and this morning...here is a start! ~ erin

Lip Sync Ladies - RETURN!

You favorite Ladies have returned with a whole new video featuring sportscaster Steve Imming:

Painting Weekend

I spent this weekend painting!! Got it all done - at least the stuff I wanted to!

I Change My Own Oil!

For some reason this surprised a lot of our listeners...so I had to take some picture and shoot some video to prove it! See more on my work blog: http://wnax.com/pages/3110083.php

Sidewalk Picnic

Labor Day weekend is the unofficial end to summer and many use the weekend to picnic. We weren't going to picnic because we were going to Olive Garden...but little did I know we would get to picnic - just so Marshall could have his afternoon snack! It was great fun and a gorgeous day.

Olive Garden & Shopping

This past weekend was quite event filled! Saturday Mommy, Daddy and Marshall spent a portion of the day shopping in Norfolk for landscaping items. Then on Sunday Mommy, Marshall & Erin made another semi-annual trip to Olive Garden (where Marshall tried his first breadstick & after dinner mint) with a few stops for shopping. Marshall is sure good with the cart...always willing to help! Now that he is walking he wants to get down and go - which makes shopping a fun game of chase Marshall around the clothes racks!

Marshall could become a secret shopper...watch out if you are in retail sales!

Cool Dude

Last Night...This Morning

Quite the difference this morning from the cheerleader last night!

Bubbles

Daddy had to do some running around after the big one year doctor appointment this morning so Marshall came to work with Mommy. Erin found some bubbles...



More Bubbles

Look Who's One!

Hard to believe he has been here a whole year already!

August Recap

August was a busy month!!

Birthday Party x3

We partied it up Friday night Birthday style times 3! Not only was is Marshall's birthday on Friday, but it was Austin's (Marshall's cousin) Birthday on Tuesday it was my birthday Thursday! So wouldn't you know - Dee got cakes for all her kids and everyone had to sing Happy Birthday 3 times! See all of the candle lighting, singing & blowing above!

And even though I tried to stop him...Marshall got into the cake anyway - but he sure enjoyed it!

It's My Birthday!

Dee made me a great cupcake - cake today...and decided to show up for my birthday celebration! Last year she skipped out because she had to go have Marshall - but whatever! (and then couldn't even bring him into this world on my birthday...nope - had to have his own day) ~ erin

He is 2 Funny!

AHHHHH!

And then another one:

He sure does like his Sunny D! And that is just the perfect present for his 1st Birthday this Friday! Who needs fancy toys when you can get jugs out of the trash!

Sloppy Kisses

Marshall was puckerin up last night and I caught him with the picture...then caught the slober of his kiss!

What's So Funny?

Can't really figure out what Marshall finds so funny about his Uncle Glen - but it is so funny Marshall can't even sit up he is laughing so hard!

I can hardly believe he is almost a year old...but looking at him here I can see the little person (the little but very impressionable) he is becoming!

Mr. Marshall Walks

We are WALKING!!!!! Mr. Marshall officially walked last night as he made is way more than 7 steps! I insist I have a gift...first my cousin Chloe and now Marshall! I wasn't going to give up on him - he wanted to sit and I would not let him! I am a hard ass - but guess what...now he will be a hell raiser! And he did it just shy of a year old! Marshall's first birthday is in just 17 days (and mine is in 16 if you are counting).

New Mop

I have always believed in getting down on my hands and knees to wash the floor - but this new mop works wonders!

This is the way we wash our floors...wash our floors...wash our floors

Made it Back

We made it back last night around 7:15pm. Grandma decided she wanted to go home and sleep in her own bed - and that was ok with me! I slept in my own bed and even started some laundry (come to think of it - don't think I remembered to move it from the washer to the dryer this morning - oh well). Will be working on getting more pictures on the WNAX website if you want to see - also have to finish my calendar recaps...here is the one from July:

Heading Toward Home

We are moving back West now with a stop in Chicago tomorrow and then Sunday will be used to make it back. Should arrive in Yankton around 8pm Sunday night! While in NYC we managed to sqeeze in a few pictures of Zach (as he is going to be a Senior this year and I am taking his senior pictures). Zach belongs to my co-worker Steve. Here I am showing him NOT how to pose for the pictures (although I think I was really trying to show him how - doesn't appear that way).

Been having a great time! Can't believe we have been gone 9 days now! Doesn't seem nearly that long - yet it does. You know what I mean!

This is the hotel room we are staying in tonight. I really like the colors and decor! Will have to steal some of these idea for my appartment since I have the same colors in my kitchen and bedroom!

Plymouth, MA

Grandma and I enjoyed a huge icecream cone along the shore line in Plymouth, MA where we saw the Mayflower II (a replica of the original) and the famous Plymouth Rock! There are bigger rocks than this in the fields at home! More on my WNAX blog! Tomorrow we are off to Boston to visit the Freedom Trail. ~ erin

Gettysburg

Grandma and I spent the day at Gettysburg this afternoon. I think she is having a good time - at least I hope she is. There has been a lot of driving - but when we get done with tomorrow - there will just be a lot of going! We leave Gettysburg right away tomorrow morning and head to Plymouth Rock. And then by Monday we should be in Boston. Looking forward to even more the further East we go. Really excited about the broadway show Tuesday night - we are seeing "Chicago". Wanted to see "Phantom of the Opera" but much too expensive. Oh well - will enjoy it either way! Find more on my work blog - I've got pictures there.

Not too homesick yet - but am sure I will get there! Love you all ~ erin

Hello Big Apple

Just moments away from heading out to good ole NYC! We depart this morning and will be gone until August 10th. I am taking Grandma Tycz along with me because Jon is just to swamped with work! If you want updates from the trip - check my WNAX blog for more! See you when I see you! Much Love ~ erin

The Lost Family Pictures

We took these over a month ago...but I just realized I never did anything with them! At least here they are now!
