Our State Fair is a Great State Fair...

Just like Pat Boone sang it in 1964...it's still great! NO, I wasn't even born yet, and I'm sure it's lost some of it's 'Pat Boone charm', but I make it a point to try to visit every year...at least once. So, this year we didn't skip the tradition and we got to take Miss Em ~ PS: Thanks to all of you who have called requesting info and scheduling the last few days...I promise to answer all emails and phone messages first thing Monday...we just needed a little family break this weekend! ;) Makin' friends with Wilbur...or maybe not... 2008 was the year of the Flamenco... ...and the Mariachi! Emma waiting to jam to our favorite celtic rock band...The Killdares!

~The Buchanan Family~

The Buchanans are such a sweet family and all beautiful smiles...I love it! Thanks for not going into shock when you arrived at the park with 1,000 other people...from classic car show mania to track meet galore....wet grass and 'furniture' moving ~ you were all great sports! I really enjoyed meeting all of you and had a great time...Click HERE to see a "Life Less Ordinary" starring The Buchanan Family...:)

Emma's First Rodeo...

I did have a shoot this morning...and the preview is coming soon...but FIRST...I just HAVE to post these from today! Emma got to attend and participate in her first ever goat "event" with Buckaroo U @ the Ellis County Cowboy Church today ~ Yee Haw! :) Emma's got Game... The 'victim' is tagged... The others lie in fearful wait...for Emma is coming... The 'victim' is now targeted with the help of Coach Cowboy... Is this a pep talk...or did you just tell me I'm cute... And they're off... Hold up there good buddy...I didn't sign up for this part...but wait... Spotting the ginormous cross tied to the 'victim's' horn...Emma thinks to herself..."Whew...I'm glad this one's a Christian..." Relief...Emma recovers nicely...yanks the cross...gets the wave...7 seconds (+5 minutes)...:)

~Ian~

Well...a couple of weeks ago I had nothing but little girls and the last two weeks have been nothing but boys! AND...it was my first little red-headed baby! His wonderful name and beautiful red hair is something out of a book about a hero from the Highlands of Scotland...don't you think? What a sweet and cooperative little boy he was! I'm so sorry dad missed all of the fun today...but we have a date for Christmas pictures and I can't wait to get all of these beautiful red heads together! Thanks Cara for a fun session!
