Miss Annie

Meet Zach's future wife... Miss Annie! This little doll has been in Zach's class since Kindergarten, and even though he will NEVER admit it... he loves her!
He tells me all about her every single day on the way home from school. When he heard I was taking her pictures his daddy said, " maybe mommy can blow one up really big to hang in your room!" He growled and started to cry! Give him a few years and he won't mind a bit!

A mommy of boys....

These two little guys made their mommy and I work REALLY hard for their pictures!
Mommy came to the rescue with some hot chocolate to warm them up!:) Parents always worry when sessions don't go as smoothly as expected that there won't be any good ones... I can usually seem to come up with a few goodies!:)

I can only get 2 to load for some reason... SORRY!

these are for you kayla baby!:)

Your mom told me you have been checking everyday to see your pictures!:)
They are done and being printed as we speak! I will bring them by when I get them back!

Stacia's clan!

I HAD to get that horrid picture of me off, so I thought I'd add some cuties to look at instead!:) Isn't that bike adorable?

I have been tagged by Kim C.! This is the 4th picture, from my fourth folder!
This was me on my way to the hospital to have Emily!:) Why did it have to be a picture of me? Let a lone a 9 month pregnant picture! lol!:)
I tag Ariann, mom, bonnie and Holly (because you haven't blogged in FOREVER!)

Proud mama!

Today was the primary program and it was so cute! Zach woke up VERY early this morning and dressed himself in his new suit (thanks Grandma!) He stood by the side of our bed and whispered, " Does this look good mom?" He looked so handsome and so grown up! He cried when I told him to take it off because we still had HOURS before church started. All through breakfast he practiced his 2 parts.
Rachel had the first part in the program and she was so sweet! The pianist was playing " I am a child of God" and Rachel said, "My name is Rachel and I am a child of God." She has been practicing that for 3 weeks! They both knew every word to every song and i couldn't have been more proud of my precious babes! When it was over, Rachel gave me a hug and said, "my first program made me tired!"
I feel so blessed that my childeren have such a special love of the gospel and of primary. What better place could they be? Has anyone figured out that cure for keeping them little forever yet? I am going to keep asking until someone figures it out!
good night all!

daddy took this picture!

Well, I have been slacking on my blogging and on my pictures because I have been soooo sick. I know this may sound strange, but I pinched a nerve somewhere below my right shoulder blade from being on the computer too long! I have been staying up late at night proofing, trying to get caught up....NOT SMART!!!! I woke up at 5am this morning bawling because I thought I was paralyzed! I seriously couldn't move my head! It started on Sunday and continuoulsy got worse! Paul has been home all day catering to me and helping out with the kids. The house looks like a bomb went off, but I really don't care one bit! A few hours ago the pain started to subside quite a bit - THANK GOODNESS!!!!! So, those of you waiting for your orders, they are coming. I am finally feeling well enough to go pick them up( I will have to make Paul drive me around some more!) If you are waiting for your gallery to be put up... I will get to it soon! I can't believe how 3 days can put me so far behind! please be patient with me!:)

BEAUTIFUL....

I know I already gave a peak at this adorable little family, but I can't resist another! How beautiful are they? They were so fun and relaxed! I LOVE that!

I am a child of God....

The other day I walked into the family room to find this cute little set up....
The girls were playing "church" and Emily was giving the talk (with a little help from her BIG sis!) This cash register has a microphone, which is why they were using it! Rachel was whispering in her ear.

Rach: Heavenly Father loves me.

Em: Heavenly fader wuvs me.

Rach: I want to be a good girl.

Em: Me want to be a good girl.

Rach: Lead me, guide me, walk beside me.

Em. Lead me, guide me walk INSIDE me!

They heard me laugh and then they were done! It was so sweet! I am so grateful that in this crazy, messed up world we live in, that my babies know their Heavenly Father LOVES them!

whoops, one more thing!

I will be In St. George the 14th and 15th of this month doing shoots...if anyone else is interested, please send me an email! These are for "mini" sessions only!

Here are my 3 little spooks! Someday I will get that big hole in the bumper fixed...
lovely, isn't it?

picture overload....beware!

I am finally feeling like there is an end in sight! thank goodness the madness of October is over and now I can take a deep breath and actually work on the pictures instead of taking them this week! Those of you who have been waiting your 2 weeks....good news, I am just about caught up! Thanks for your patients during this CRAZY season, I truly do appreciate it! If you had your pictures done in the past week PLEASE do not call me to see if they are done, I am spending way too much time answering those calls, and it puts me back even farther! I don't want to sound rude, because I am so grateful for your business and I am glad you are excited to see them, but to make sure that you get good artistic photos, it takes time! I will let you know the second they are finished! Thanks so much!
