And so it began........................

Sixteen years ago, on May 22
I married this guy.
He's a pretty cool dude.



After 4 kids
8 moves
2 Universities
1 Bar Exam
a few jobs
a few tragedies
1 bout with a minivan
lots of Coke
and a little less hair than we started with

I am happy to report that we STILL quite like each other ;)

{on a side note...i can't figure out how we've been married so long, cause I'm only like 29????????}

Retaliation...

Jack came into my bathroom this morning as I was {beautifying} ;)
asked me to make him some popcorn...it's like 8 ish.........
being the good mother that I am, I refuse his ridiculous request.
So.....in retaliation, he runs off with the bathroom rug.
I don't know where it is.
But...i haven't looked too hard yet.

He IS the man!

*********************************************************

I have MUCH to blog about.
VERY busy around these parts lately :)

But, alas, I am off to the land of W.a.l.m.a.r.t.
for much needed supplies and maybe the fabric store if I can
muster the courage with said man in hand.
there is a little apron to made this week at enrichment.

Baby M

I did a little baby shoot a few weeks ago for my last photography assignment. My models here at home...were sick. of. me.! But I found this cute little guy who couldn't say no, although he tried at times :)

His name is Mason and he was 4 weeks old for this shoot. He's a cute little guy and super wiggly! But we had lots of fun and hope his mommy likes these. Also got a few of sister in her little tutu down there at the bottom.

I really need to find a good photo editing class. I tried really hard to make these pics pretty, but I know there is so much more I could have done with them.

9 Years Ago...

Yesterday...{ 9 years ago } this little one entered my world...

and made me the mother of a daughter.

Since the day she was born she has been an angel in our midst (okay, sometimes there is a little devil in her, buuuut, mostly not {just don't ask her sister})

She has been such a joy to me as a mother and I feel blessed and overwhelmed to call her mine!

As I looked through her albums to choose a few pictures...i couldn't choose.

There are so many of her that I love and it was fun to look through the last 9 years with her.

Here she is on her blessing day, nearly 2 months old

I think she's about 8 months old in this one

almost 1...Easter pics in the Texas Blue Bonnets

1st birthday...she is the princess :)

HOW CUTE IS SHE?????? 1 1/2 yrs.

Halloween fairy 1 1/2 yrs.

Her and her little puppy about 2 1/2

uhhhh...three something I think (when did you get married Cammie????)

5 years old...see the little unicorn in her picture...she had to have that with her. They were inseparable!

5ish...i think {sheesh...i should really go through and date these old non digital pics}

6 yrs. this was one of the first times she slept in curlers and she loved her bouncy hair!

my little ballerina 8 yrs.

And today....9 years old

If your still with me thanks for enjoying(hopefully) my trip down memory lane!

We love her to pieces...Happy Birthday Kristen!!!

Womans Conference

Went up to BYU Woman's Conference last week.
It was my first time....it won't be the last.
Such an amazing experience.
So uplifting & encouraging
makes me want to be better.
The spirit was ever present
and how can you not just be joyful and grateful
when that is hovering over you.

My partners in crime were such fun.
We had more fun than thirty something women should be allowed to have :)
We giggled and laughed for 4 days
stayed up way too late at night and ate lots of yummy junk food

Can't wait to do it all again!!!
