Blessed

We blessed our little sweetheart in September and it was a beautiful day. The weather, the company, this girl. She was so good and Steve gave her a sweet blessing. I'm so grateful to have her in our family and so grateful to have so many loved ones out to support us. Aren't we lucky? I couldn't feel more blessed.

Crew's First Day of School 2012

This is the Crew-man. Love this kid. He is so happy. So lovey. So cuddly. Always gives me hugs and says I look pretty. He was very excited to start school. He is going to the Twin Peaks Preschool program and has Mrs. Fidge as his teacher. He loves her! I love her! She is a dream teacher and hope she is will be around to teach all of my children.

This kid is a goof ball and it shows. But, not many boys would stand there and let their mother take their picture. He would, as long as he could be silly. I like silly, so that was fine with me! Love you kid!

2012 Family Pictures

My good friend Emily is a photographer and like me we both drag our feet when it comes to getting our own families pictures taken. I can only speak for myself here, but there is a reason I am behind the camera. I have no idea why Em doesn't jump at the chance. She is beautiful! Anyway, we got to talking and she had the brilliant idea of going away for a weekend and swapping picture taking.

I think the weekend part was what convinced me. I mean, hello? I just had a baby 3 months ago. In what world would I want to take a picture of myself in that state? Well, I caved and decided it was more important to have pictures of my family no matter what I looked like.

When all is said and done I am so glad we did it. The weekend was a hit, I love spending time with Emily's sweet family, and now I have pictures of my cute family at this crazy stage in our lives. Somehow Emily got everyone smiling and looking good. Thank you Em! You're the best!

Brown Family Reunion 2012

This summer Roger and Gloria Brown family gathered together to spend the weekend to have a great time. And a great time was had! So many fun things were planned. We Made the cutest wooden blocks with pictures of the temple and my grandparents, we played games, ate a lot of food, jumped on the tramp, played basketball, rode the tractor, ate food, visited, roasted marshmallows and did I mention that we ate a lot of food? The best part was spending time with my amazing family. I love this family more than I can say. I can't imagine where or who I would be without them in my life. This is a picture overload but I think they say more about this weekend than I can. Enjoy!
