In the first picture is Brad and I and my awesome cousin Rachel (blue shirt), and her partner (very cool as well) CJ. We had fun with them and they were so gracious with their very busy schedules.
Here are some of the pictures that my cousin Rachel took last week. Aiden isn't exactly a smiley kind of boy and he didn't change for this special day. He had his serious look as normal. Eli was his normal self too with lots of smiles.
We met Rachel and CJ out on Sunset beach at 8:15am. The sun was out and bright but thankfully it wasn't too hot yet. We played on the playground for a while but the equipment was casting shadows everywhere which isn't good.
This was the first time the boys have been to the beach and have had their toes in the sand. It was fun to get to capture that on camera. Aiden, who normally doesn't like to get dirty, did pretty well. I didn't even think he'd walk in the sand to be honest. He didn't mind walking and even touched the sand. He wasn't too fond of the water on his feet but he did put his feet in the water which I was also a little surprised by.
Eli loved it all. He loved the sand although I didn't ask him how it tasted even though he could have told me. Eli really just wanted to crawl straight into the water. He got dirty and wet pretty fast despite me trying to keep him clean. As you can see in the pictures, Eli is usually trying to get to the ground and just wanted to play. I can't wait to take him back to the beach and let him play.
I think we are going to try and get with Rachel again and do a shoot at a different time of day. I'm hoping we can do that before Brad leaves for deployment but we'll see. I love the picture of Brad and Aiden - it is so precious.
Next time we do pictures Eli should be able to walk by himself which I think will be good for pictures.
We let the boys with the Lightening McQueen at the end of the shoot. They are gonna be best buddies and hopefully that will last a lifetime. I know they will get into fights and argue but I am praying they are loving brothers.
We had a blast taking pictures and are glad we get a glimpse of this time in our lives right now.
