I hate trying to come up with titles for blog posts. So I'm letting myself skip it this time.
We had quite the weekend if I do say so myself!
Saturday I took my cousin's engagement pictures. Her and her brother are getting married like a week apart and I am doing BOTH of their weddings! Its going to be a crazy couple of weeks between bridals, ceremonies, receptions and editing! But I am really excited for them! So it will be fun! Anyways back to the photoshoot... we just went to downtown St. George and started out at the tabernacle, as we were walking past the splash pad, I jokingly suggested them hopping in.... well, this was how we ended our shoot! :)




Sorry I felt the need to add a ton of pictures... they are just SUCH a perfect couple! They were a blast to shoot! Days like that remind my why I love being a photographer.Saturday was also Ramsey's birthday, so we went over there to party the night away. They had a projector set up in their carport, so we ate dinner and watched Tron. It was a pretty good movie, I was totally lost for most of it, due to the fact that for the first 15 min. I had to run home and get more formula. I love having friends so close. I wish we got together more, but I guess thats what happens when you have kids. It's fun to watch the next generation play together though. Bailey and Blake are finally getting closer to the same level where they can play a little better!
Justin and his gf Marcia, she was in town from England.
my wonderful husband and I. Thankfully Shaunie got ahold of our camera so we have some of us. There arent to many of those, and those thunder thighs I'm spotrin' make me dang glad!
Beau and his boys. Bryan, Josh, Beau, Rams, Justin, Blake and Chase.
Josh holding Mr. B
Shaunie didnt have any birthday candles, so Rams blew out a scented candle :)
another of us.
Allie and Chase with Blake. They are getting married at the end of may! We are sure excited for them to join us 'married's'
And here's one of the little mr. He still isnt feeling 100% yet. We made him a little bed on the floor next to ours because he hasnt been sleeping through the night. I feel so bad when he is sick and there isnt anything I can do. Its rough being a mommy! But those sweet smiles make it all worth it!
Saturday morning we also went yard sale-ing. (how would you even spell that out?) It's become my little addiction. I've been going every weekend and I love it! This time I went out looking for a ladder so I can finish our room (we kindly gave beau's step-dad his back after I held it hostage for a few months), and Beau was the one who spent all the money! He ended up coming home with a band saw and a air compressor. He actually got a SUPER great deal for them, so i couldnt be too upset, plus the band saw was mostly to do my projects :) I'm still not exactly sure what you use an air compressor for, besides pumping fourwheeler tires? Beau tells me I can buy a paint gun now though, so I'm all for it! Our garage is a disaster or I would of taken a picture. between 2 fourwheelers, 14 cases of powerade, 11 decoration totes, 3 coolers, the deep freeze, unused furniture, strollers, a HUGE stack of wood from the remodel, Beau's reloading bench, all his new tools, and all the other 'garage stuff' we coudlnt fit my car in there if we tried. Plus, The guy who lived here before was a tool junkie too, but not quite as OCD as Beau, because none of the shelving matches, and its placed totally randomly. There is also metal shavings embedded into the walls from some sort of tool the guy used. The next project after the yards is to re-vamp it out there. New shelves, new paint, new storage. Someday we wont look like rednecks when you open our garage.
Wait... I guess the elk/deer antlers will still be all over the walls, so scratch that... we will still look like rednecks ;)
I've had a slight dilemma the past few months. I am racking up pictures like a mad woman, and I am at a loss of what to do with them. I used to scrapbook, I have like 7 just from the time me and beau started dating to when Blake was born. But it takes way too long now, and no one ever looks at them! and I know that in 20 years when my kids actually care that I even did them, they will be totally out of style. I've thought about just printing regular pictures and just doing photo albums, but does that make me a bad mom? Personally thats what I like to look at when I go to my moms anyways. But I dont want to seem like I dont care enough to put the time into it? I'd love to hear what you all do!
My next dilemma is this darn house. I'm sick of the decorations I have. I'm currently obsessed with white. Which doesn't go well with my previous obsession with black.
I hate feeling like I live in a cave.
Someday I will have new counter tops, and white cabinets.
someday.
But now I am just complaining. so I'll be done for the day.
ta-ta.
oh wait. quick question. does anyone even read blogs anymore? or is it just me talking to myself?
because thats cool too.

haha...i LOVE your blog. I know im a stalker ;) but its fun to read inspires me! Its fun that our boys are so close in age.
i totally read blogs and i'm always looking/stalking for a new post to read! :) so keep bloggin away!
*here's what i've decided to do for kids scrapbooking..
**Each kid get's their own scrapbook of their first year. Then they are just added into the 'family scrapbook' which for now is my blog. and some day when i'm rich i wanna get it printed into a book (like a year book) for each year.. my sister jill does the blog book (blog2print, i think) and she Loves it! says it's super easy and her girls LOVE to look at it. so some day, that's my goal.
I was doing the 'family' scrapbooking thing, and like you..it just takes up too much table space and time to just do ONE photo on a page.. so that's why i've just decided that each kid will get a personal scrapbook for just their first year (it's their birthday gift.. ha haa)
ok sorry for the Novel comment! lol
I do a photo album/scrapbook. Pebbles in my Pocket has an album and pages that work well, and I know I've seen some cool versions of the same thing at Michael's. You get the album (3 ring binder or post bound styles) and the album pages that are 12x12 but with 5 or 6 photo slots, but then you can also put 12x12 scrapbook pages in with the standard 12x12 page protectors. Best of both worlds if you ask me. What I make sure to do, no matter what, is write the date the photo was taken on the back so there is no question. And if you wanted to get really awesome, write the names of the people in them so 20 years from now you won't be guessing.
Need a second shooter?
i definitely still read blogs. too much if you ask me ha ha. anyways! your baby is ADORABLE! oh and maybe if the next time you see justin could you just tell him i say hi?? :) thanks!
I still read blogs. I think I spend too much time reading blogs, that I don't even write on my own as much as I should.
I started to do digital scrapbooking. I have done a whole year, but then I got busy. I wish I still did it. I like it though because I always hated the big mess on the table for one page...and you have to print all your pictures - with digital, I can crop, and enlarge all my pictures. I made a book for me, and then I have the disc of the pages so when my kids are older, they can choose what pages they want in their own books.
I read blogs when I can! I am jealous it is warm enough to watch movies outside! I hope it warms up here soon! I need sunshine! You are such a great photographer! Your pictures look so fun! p.s. I have a bit of an earring obsession too! I don't know why, but they are my favorite accessory to wear! :)
Oh, p.s. If you don't scrapbook I totally don't think your a bad mom! I will probably just do albums myself. I would love to scrapbook but it just takes so long! I would get started and then not finish it. So, I figure it is better for me to do picture albums and at least finish those! :)
I LOVE reading your blog:) haha i totally feel the same way about my blog too, Its really like a personal journal for me, but its always nice to have a little emotional support haha. I just love your little boy. And you are one cute mommy:)
I love blogs. and that is all I read. I hate facebook i think its a huge waste of time. Blogs are about familys and they are in away a scrapbook. I think Facebook is taking blogs away. Have you heard of project life albums they are way cool. Take less time and not much scrapbooking to them. For some reason my blog is not showing when you update. i will try to figure that out. Cute pictures. You always have been good but you keep getting better.
