Howdy and Angela

I took some pictures of my friend and her family over the holidays. I've known Angela for 15 years (WOW!), and these might be my favorite pics of her, ever (if I do say so myself!). Really, I just love how in love she is with her great husband and gorgeous baby.

Why it took me 18 hours to drive from CO to TX:

There are 80 more pictures like this. More fun to shoot than drive.

Brewing

I love that Bridger is completely wiped after a day of brewing.

Note Mia waiting to be fed in the background.

The secret recipe

First batch cooling in the snow

Esteves Family

I got bit by a goose while taking these pictures. I was looking through the lens, so I didn't see it coming. Thanks for the heads up Kendal and Mario!

Snow Family

Very important to stretch before having your picture taken.




This picture cracks me up; looks like I shot the pic in a parking lot and then super-imposed Lake Loveland behind them.

Mad Sewing

So, with no final papers to grade this year, I had loads of free time in the weeks before Christmas.  This resulted in my insane idea to make 16 gifts for the 16 tots that I know.  I hope they cherish them because they will likely NOT be getting a homemade gift again.  Ugh.  Eight purses, four capes, four snuggies, and a partridge in a pear tree later...I vowed never to sew again.  PLEASE, may I grade some papers?

P.S.  It wasn't really sew (ha! pun intended) bad.  I kinda had fun.
P.P.S. I recently learned that Jett, who used to only fling himself off the kitchen counters, is now attempting to fly off the top of the fridge...with the aid of his cape, of course.  Sorry, Angela!

Fort Worth Christmas

First things, first.  As an official Tredennick, I got to add my (pink!) pins to the family map. 

Matt and Andrew added a few pins, too (stealing my thunder is what they were doing!).

Second: a family pic.  (Um...why are only Andrew and I posing like nuts?  I'm pretty sure we all agreed to.)

The exact moment when Matt caught my cold (we're almost certain).

Austin Christmas

Not sure why we thought it'd be fun to take family pics in the grandparents' bed (WHO thought of that???), but it was a blast! I highly recommend family portraits in bed.

First attempt, immediately followed by a break because Grandma was about to pee her pants.


Okay, ready for take two.


Tried to add a few more.


Just the kids


Just the girls (Check out the look on our faces; Uncle Bob is just off camera, showing off his quads)


And, one for the wall.
