Hi guys! Ok, so just thought I would let you know that I live in a very small town in Ontario, Canada. Every year we have what's called a trivia night. There's also an auction and it's just a bunch of fun for everyone. Every single penny that we raise at these events go to a specific cause that we choose. We just had our last Trivia night in February and we raised 40,000 for ALS!

Oh, how sweet! I love all of these photos, especially your favorite shot of the day!

Dear Amy, Kristee and I have been touched to tears through your efforts and the charity of your blog followers. I can not begin to tell you how grateful we are. We love you so much. Love Dad and Kristee

Beautiful story and beautiful photos!

I really love these lots.. great angles.. great people. :)

I cried. This post was beautiful.

What a dreamy couple. Inside and out. It makes me happy to see that there are such wonderful people in the world.

I love the photos of them on the dry mud. Amazing. What a touching story as well.

Amazing work! I love these pictures! My favorite- the third from down....

Melissa, that is incredible that you all raised so much for ALS! Thank you!

Melissa, seriously...that is AMAZING that your town was able to raise the much for ALS...it such a crazy disease that most people know nothing about. Here's to raising awareness and to all the funds you guys were able to donate to help with the research...THANK YOU!!!

Uh-mazing!

You all are hysterical. and Amelia I don't think you could possibly get any cuter!!

Awww so awesome! Where did all our mustache photos from our B-day party go?

What an adorable kiddo!

Hey Amy, hhhmmm, Amelia, just found your photo blog. Do you have a personal one also? Your boy sure looks like you guys. Check out my blog.

LOL! I LOVE THESE! Justin Has the coolest moustache ever no joke!

rad-tacular!

ooooooo I love your little kit and caboodle family! you guys are so stinkin cute!

Hey guys check it, just thinking here but, don't you think it would be a good idea for Justin to create the sidestep stache? It would be like Matt Sloan's haircut but in between your nose and mouth. A double decker if you will. It works. Oh and these last four shots of Hud and jr are rad. QUESTION: When did Hud lose a tooth? ANSWER: In the top right pic. Not a joke, just a Q&A. You guys kick all butts!

You guys are so darn funny. I love this! Christmas card for sure! Happy day, Em

i love this. cause all my friends do it too. lovin the chromeo shirt. i love your photography!
