Long, Labor Day Weekend

Since working full time, I have developed a deep love for weekends, but my love for long weekends goes even deeper. I was SO looking forward to this Labor Day weekend and being able to relax and have fun with the ones I love.

Chad and I spent the day together on Saturday doing a little shopping. A certain little miss has her 5th birthday coming up in about a month and I picked out some fabrics for her birthday outfit. Every year for her birthday I have made her something special to wear, and this year will be no different! The birthday princess requested hot pink and purple for her color scheme, so I was on the hunt for something that would please us both. I think I found something that will be just perfect!

Then we headed to a little town not too far away that has a cute, historic downtown area and we played around with our new camera. I loved how these two turned out of my handsome man.



Charming little town
My handsome man. What a lucky girl I am ;-)
Then Chad got behind the lens...

We found a concrete block that we set the camera on and used the self timer to capture this photo. There were several funny out-takes that happened trying to get this picture. It's hard when it's just the two of us!

We spent today with my family and enjoyed hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill and hanging out. I loved days like today!
The Grillmaster!

I could not love this girl more!!

She's so silly =)

1,2,3 JUMP!!

Why can't every weekend be like this?!?!

I hope you and yours had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

  6. Faith,
    I LOVE your pics. You do GREAT work!!!

    Its funny....I was getting ready to comment and looked at your labels and it said My Sweet Man Photography, but I failed to see the comma in between MySweetMan and photography.....I thought what a neat name for a photo business and then realized what I'd done. So funny....but still a great name. So if you ever go into the business, now you have an idea for a name =)

    All that to say....glad you had a super weekend friend.

    Love you,
    Dawn
