It's here it's Finally Here!!!

We've been waiting for this day for a long time!!! LOST is back! And tomorrow night, our butts will be on our couch waiting to find out if they do or don't get rescued! Oh Happy Day!!

OK, so I know I'm a dork but we LOVE this show and have been counting down for a long time! It's finally here!

our CRAZY weekend...

Ok, to start off. Last Tuesday was the 100th day of school. So Maci had to wear 100 things, so I pinned 100 safety pins to her shirt and she had to take 100 things and we counted out 100 chocolate kisses for her to take. Here she is showing me her 100 shirt before we left for school.

Next, our weekend... My friend JoAnna and her hubby went up to Utah for 4 days to go snowboarding, and I watched their girls while they were gone, here are the girls on Friday morning before school, of course they had to be twins and have matching hair!

We had a movie night on Friday and watched "The Game Plan" with pizza and popcorn. Such a cute movie!
Then on Saturday we had to get them out of the house, before they drove us so crazy so we went to the park to play for awhile.
Here is Tatum going down the slide...

Miss Rylee...

I love the sun flare in this shot!

The outnumbered little boy! Isn't he so cute!!

He is a monkey!! He was climbing up all the ladders!!

But this one was a little to hard for him! He really wanted to get to where his Dad was!! "Come on Dad, Help Me!!"


So Brian had this "great" idea to ride Maci's bike down the hill, what a kid!!
Here is Tatum taking her turn...

The girls thought it was pretty fun! They gave me the thumbs up when they were done!

Kernan loved to so much he didn't want anyone else to have a turn!!

And Rylee liked it too!

OK, so of course after 4 days together and being GIRLS they didn't get along all the time! By Sunday I had the great idea to put them in the corner hugging until they were done fighting. It kinda worked until one was going "She's not hugging me..." Oh tattle telling how it was nice not to have that today!!!
When Joanna and Aaron came and picked up the girls, Tatum didn't want to go home! And they hadn't even pulled away from our house and Maci was already saying she was bored!! WHAT?!? Those girls are so funny!
All in all it was a fun weekend having some extra little ones around. It's made Brian and I seriously think about having more!! I think right now we are content with where our lives are! Maybe it'll change in a few years but for now two is good for us!

President Hinckley...

What a wonderful man!

I know we've all heard by now that our Prophet, President Hinckley, has passed away this evening. I'm sitting her listening to the Salt Lake talk radio station and I couldn't help but put this in my "online" journal. I am still in somewhat of shock, I know he was getting older but I didn't expect to hear this! I am so happy for him at the same time though, he is at home with his wife and Heavenly Father is saying to him "GOOD JOB my good and faithful servant"! He was truly a wonderful man, it won't be the same with out him! I hope with all my heart that Broc was one of those many people there to greet him and say "Welcome Home, Brother"!
I love you President Hinckley!

Introducing Miss Bella...

This is sweet little 3 day old Bella... (well 9 days now). She doesn't really like the camera! Her Mom said this was the fussiest she had ever seen her and she turned her head and wouldn't let me snap her picture. Her Mom said she was the same way for all her ultrasounds! But for her being so "Diva" like we got some cute ones!

Mommy and Bella

Big Sister Chloe...






Thanks again Buffy for letting me come take pictures of your brand new addition! She's adorable!
Hope everyone has a good weekend!!

My Kiddos...

So I took my kids and husband out on Saturday morning before Brian headed to Barrett Jackson and took some new "updated" pictures. Kernan wasn't to into it, he wanted to just walk around everywhere instead. But Maci was way photogenic! I got so many cute ones of her! Here are some from the shoot.
This is my favorite of Maci, she looks like a little girl not my big Kindergartener!


This explains how my son was...





The pictures at the top of my blog are from Saturday too. I've got them printed into 8x8 pictures and I'm going to hang them above my piano! I'll post a picture when I've got that done!
I'll post the ones from the newborn shoot soon, so many cute ones of that too!
Until next time...

Girls Night Out!!

Last night we had a Girls Night Out to see 27 Dresses... It was so fun 6 of us girls jumped in my Suburban and went to dinner and then to the movie.

Here are the girls waiting for the movie to start...
Christtina, Joanna, Gwen, Natalie and Heidi
What's in your nose Jo?? haha

We went to dinner at Moe's right by the movie theater it was pretty good!

We all had such a good time and the movie was so cute! It was more fun seeing it with all girls then dragging our husbands along!! Thanks girls lets do it again!!

Picture Share..

Hope everyone has had a good week! I just wanted to share some misc pictures I've taken...

This was a self portrait I took messing with my new camera!
I've also been messing with textures... This is a picture of Kernan from when we went camping... The before picture is under it....



These pictures I couldn't share because they were Christmas gifts and I couldn't ruin it!! :)
This is my friend Jo and her girls, all 3 of them. She had a little girl a year and a half ago that passed after a day from an infection. So for Christmas for her husband I did this picture with Maizee in the background looking over them!
I love how it turned out and I love how it looks hanging up in her house!

And this picture I did for Brian's parents. Here are all 3 of their grandkids! We took these in early December... I think it turned out so cute!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I'm going to go play with my new camera tomorrow on my kids and husband! So I'm sure there will be a post coming soon with those pictures! I also get to go take pictures of my friends new baby that was just born on Wednesday! I'm VERY excited about those! I have lots of ideas!! :) So stay tuned!

We are now the happy owners of a Wii!

We got a Wii last night! We are all SO excited! Ever since we played it at my parents we have wanted our own! So last night we found one on Craigslist for a good deal, so we all got in the Suburban and went to get it. JoAnna and the girls were over for dinner and some "bundt" cake... So good! So we all went! By the time we got back it was 8 already but Jo and the girls had never played a Wii! So we played until 9:30!
Here is Tatum with her swing... She did so good bowling! She is now asking for one for her birthday in August! LOL!



Rylee liked to help Mommy! She is so cute!

YES!!!

The girls were all dressed up for the occasion!


JoAnna got really into it! She had her stance, it is such a fun game!


We also got some new additions to our fish tank... Here is our new anemone, it's HUGE! And so pretty, we also got a new "Chocolate Chip" Starfish... I didn't take any pictures of it but anywho...


Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Messy Faces and Magelby's...

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Ours was a bit chaotic, but good! Christtina and I went to the bridal show on Saturday to get info about the other wedding photographers in AZ... OH MY GOODNESS! Talk about crazy! Thank heavens we weren't really brides or we would have left there completely confused and more stressed then we were! I got a lot of business cards and info though so it was worth it... Right Chris?!? :) Then I got to go buy my new camera!! I'm so excited about it! It's an awesome camera, and I'm loving it so far!
Ok, onto the messy faces... Thursday I baby sat my friend Jo Anna's girls, and while the two little ones were taking naps I told the older ones they had to find something quite to do... Well, I noticed that they were in the front room and then would run into the bathroom laugh and go back, they did that like 4 times when finally I asked Maci what they were doing and she came into me like this... Totally thought she was in trouble until I started busting up laughing!!
Her and Tatum had gotten her make up Santa brought her and put it everywhere! I'm going to have to have a talk with Santa... I mean seriously what was he thinking?!?



Then onto the next messy face... While I was taking a nap on Sunday, Brian made brownies... He let Kernan lick the mixer and the spatula... He had some serious fun!!


I'm so glad Brian took pictures of this!! I've trained him well! :)

Now our Magelby's night... My grandparents lived down here for 16 years and owned a bakery in Metro Center called Magelby's. They haven't owned it for 4 years since they moved to Utah. But they've been down visiting and so I requested a Magelby's dinner! Oh yum! That's all I can say!! My Grandma made Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins and her pasta salad!
Don't these look SO good!! THEY ARE!!

Kernan and Maci helped Grandpa...

I LOVE this picture. These are my Grandpa's hands... If they could talk they would have so many stories to tell! I love my Grandpa!

Kernan is saying... "Hey guys let me in so I can help too!"

Maci and Grandpa making Pepperoni Bread stick Sandwiches, I don't think we've had these since they closed... So good!

Thanks again Grandma and Grandpa for a wonderful Magelby's dinner!! I asked while they were making it if they missed it... They both said NO! Haha! Love you both!
