*my darling kiddos*

Sooooooo, umm yeah its been awhile.....

my life has now been caught up in going back to school

yep, thats right back to school

I'm going to Weber and have started back working on

my prerequisites that i didn't finish 12 years ago :)

Its been a crazy adventure that has seemed to take over my life

I've actually done quite a bit of photography sessions

over the past little while but have decided to finally put

that mostly on hold for now....i have felt lately that i haven't been able to

put the time i've wanted in taking my own family's pictures...

i would get so busy taking and editing other peoples pictures

that i neglected my own.....

Now this doesn't mean i've given it up completely...

i really do love taking pictures...

i'm just taking a small break to enjoy my family!!

I made some time a few months ago and took

some sweet pictures of my kiddos...

it had been so long since i've been able to do that

and if felt awesome!!!!

my kids are amazing.....sure there was some

serious bribery.....and Owen

(who is not a fan of picture taking)

told me i could only take 10.....

and was not to happy when we went waaay past that ;)

and there was always the fear that some random train

would run us over.. (nick was our watcher, and protector)

I also realize that the train pictures seem a bit overdone

but i don't care......... to me every picture

that involves the kiddos are special-

I most likely won't be posting anthing

in the near future

(i'm doing some other fun ways to remember

the day to day stuff)

but i did promise my mom that i would update

and who better to take up my blog

then my kids!!!

I love my kids!!!

*Mr M & Miss C *

This cute couple is my bro-in-law and

his darling fiance--

Seriously these 2 were so much fun to photograph

not only are they super good lookin ;)

but they are totally fun to be around--

Bridals coming soon :)

* Darling Mrs. R *

I've been so far behind blogging all of my session....

sheesh.. i need to get it together :)

This beauty is one of my darling YW and now

she's all grown up and graduating....

she is such a doll and has the sweetest personality!!

thanks!!

Have fun at BYU this summer!!

* Mr. B *

This hansome graduating senior is my neighbor....

His family is one of my very favorites in my ward

(its like having family living next door :)

Anywho, Mr. B was super easy going...

it made my job super easy peasy!!!

what a stud ;)
Thanks Mr. Blake--

It was such a treat!!

* Darling miss N *

Isn't she such a knockout!!!

So far every senior session i've done

the girlies are beautiful inside and out :)

**sessions like this remind me how

much i love taking graduating senior pictures-

they are just happy and full of life-

(and of course glad to be done with school ;)

By far my favorite-

i love when the lighting just works out!!

*its great to be 8 *

This is my darling friend Dionne's oldest girly--

she is seriously a doll (both Dionne & her daughter ;)

Lexi was such a trooper..

she battled through a much needed potty break,

mosquitos, dirt and more....

Her grandma made this dress for her and i loooved

the style of it plus Dionne is excellent with girl hair

So all in all i think it was a successful photo shoot :)

Lexi loves the color blue-- hence the color here and there

such a little beauty!!

30th bday and vegas

I'm heading with some lady friends for a

fun few days to get some warmer sun-

shopping and you can bet a lot of eating!!

So my peeps i turned 30....oh yes

i said 30!! can i get a whoop whoop

To be completely honest i've been dreading the

whole thirty thing but i realized

everything started drooping south

about a year ago....so why not go with it :)

anywho--peace out my lovelys!

Spring..... please be on your way--

mama needs you ;)
