Birthday Photos (part one?)

[lalicopa]

Ok, you asked for it...(or did you?)




Antelope and alpaca eating out of the same bucket.



Lily didn't really get what was going on with the pony, she wasn't too excited, but not upset either.



Laszlo didn't get that he needed to take a *handful* of the pellets to feed to the animals, so he was taking them one at a time and throwing them. There were like dozens of goats and he's tossing 1 little tiny pellet at them. It was pretty funny.



Laszlo LOVED feeding the goats their bottles!






Ok, but only if he doesn't come NEAR my pizza crust!



You see this, mister baby goat? This is MINE. Keep your hooves off!



I think he's pretty cool actually...



...and soft! (I love how her piggy-tailed shadow is in these pictures.)



The fam, just pre-blowing-out-candles.



Laszlo was holding his cake like a grilled cheese sandwich...I tried to capture it with the camera, but missed it.

I think that's all for now. I'm still going through them, we took a million pictures, but only a select few came out really good.

Comments on how cute my kids are, welcome!

Oh, they're all so good! And I *love* the pig tails. Looks like a good time was had by all.

I could stand to see one or two more photos... ;-)

your kids are soooooooooo cute.

and you are soooooooo gorgeous.

have i told you that i totally LOVE the name lazslo?

[lalicopa.livejournal.com]

Wow thank you!

Nope, but I love his name too. I wanted something unique...and there were some other factors. My dad's name was Leonard, and I wanted to name in honor of him. And an old boyfriend had picked the name Laszlo and I just hung onto it because I loved it. Then when I was finally pregnant after years of infertility stuff, and I found out I was having a boy (and had already picked his name) I looked up its meaning. Laszlo means "God has helped." That clinched it. :-)

A beautiful woman in The Gap today stopped me and asked if we were Hungarian, because she is and Laszlo is a *very* common Hungarian name. My grandmother was Hungarian, but that's not why I used the name.

In any case, it suits him.

Awww....*LOL*

i love how your kids resemble the opposite parent-lily looks like dad, laszlo looks like you...

and yes, you *are* gorgeous-you've got this sultry, wild gypsy-woman look to you....*envy*

Thanks!

Wow, I've got to post pictures of myself more often!!!!

[warpedwitch.livejournal.com]

yes, you do....:D the kids are adorable, but we like seeing you too...:)

I wouldn't object to more pictures. :)

Oh yeah - definitely post more pictures of you too! Not just because you guys are good looking (which you both are) but because it's fun seeing the resemblances between you and the kids!

I must agree, the pigtail-shadow picture is fabulous. (They're all cute, but that one just has great elements.) I also remember my kids feeding pellets the first time and the eldest making faces at having his hands agressively licked. No bottles where we were! That's great!

You are such a good photographer, you just have a great eye. I watched you take those pictures and they came out so much better than I envisioned. I love the one ofr Sophie smiling at the goat, I sent it to my whole family. I'd post it in my live journal if I knew how... Your kids are so beautiful!

[lalicopa.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but I don't think it's my eye, I think it's my digital camera that lets me take a thousand pictures with the hopes of getting a dozen or so good ones!

I'll email you a link that you can paste in your journal to post that picture of Sophie!

Oh how ADORABLE! How cute are those wee sprightly pigtails of hers? And I love their crowns. What a great idea for a birthday party, too.

And ITA with the sultry/gypsy comment. ;)
