Okay I'll have another boy...

...as long as he has as many smiles as this little guy!! This was my second shoot of last week and boy .. OH BOYS!!! These guys are old friends from our "first married" ward and I haven't seen them since their oldest (7) was 2..... he sure did grow up and got the cutest little brothers! When they first walked in she handed me the little guy and my heart instantly melted...

And the others were all so polite and talkative, they were all so sweet. It gave me great perspective on how lucky I will be if I get another boy, of course I want a daughter - but how cool is it to raise 4 sons!!! My boys are awesome.. I would totally take another one! Thanks "P" family for letting me see how 4 SONS would be SO AMAZING!

The Holiday "PHOTO" sessions begin...

So last week I had 3 appointments - and it is not even October! I am excited to get back into the swing of BUSY BUSY photographer life for the Holiday season! but... whew... being pregnant is not going to make this easy!! Pretty soon my big belly will keep me from laying on the floor to get that perfect shot!! If you want a 2007 Holiday Photo of your family you better start booking your appointment soon! My new website will be live this week and you can book online

so take a peek!

Here is a new family and they were just adorable! The little boy was so sweet and polite! I love taking pictures of boys that are around Colton's age... they always have such cute personalities! He was a ham - always making me laugh!!! And the little girl was a sweetie...

makes me wanna girl pretty bad!!

Temporary Insanity!!

I lost Caden on Sunday.... don't you just love it!

It's actually funny now...

Preschool Time for Us!!

Caden and Talon started preschool last week and here are the photos to prove it!

Neither one of them wanted to pose for photos.... typical!

Big News... bet you can't guess!

Here is the latest news from us...

one more on the way! For those of you counting ....

that will be 4 KIDS!!!

currently 8 weeks... due April 1st... April Fools!! :)

1st Day of 2nd Grade!

Colton was supposed to wake up at 6:40 this morning to get ready for school... instead he woke me up at 6:30 and told me he was ready... He was already dressed with spiky "gel" hair, lunch was made and packed - and his backpack was in place! He was so excited to go to school!!!

Scissor Time for the "Shag"

The boys desperately needed haircuts!

Colton wanted his "shaved off" but he compromised with a short spiky look!

Talon loves his long hair and wanted to keep it!

Caden is often called "baby" but his new name is "baby einstein".. here's why!!

Secret Photo Spot!!!

These are the last shots of them with shaggy hair!

This is my new favorite photo spot for the boys! It is

up high and so pretty with all the desert landscape!!!

Caden's karate chopping action!!!

The new Mesa Fire Dept Engineer...

Jason got promoted to Engineer this week after months of studying and testing! Yippee! We are all so glad it is over, and now he gets to drive the truck and pump the water for fires!

Bathtub Light... aaahhhh!!!

Okay ... so you might think I am really weird, but I LOVE the natural light that comes into my bathroom!! It is the perfect photography studio!

Too bad my kids are always in the nude when I get great shots of them!

Colton says "it's a good thing for bubbles!"

Big Surf

Took the boys to Big Surf right before school started and they LOVED it! So did the big kids in us! We had such a blast! It was completely deserted there and we went on slide after slide.. no waits!!! It was the perfect day!!

Caden loved the mini slides and didn't want to leave them!

Colton was a little scared but after one time down the first slide - his fear was gone!!

Talon loved the "surfing" in the wave pool with the boogie board and will love the "big" slides next year!!!

We went on a Camping trip with the Turley Family!

Jason and Howard ... the big kids!

Here is Talon and Duke...

Colton loved "finding" pig noses! (empty nut shells)

Caden loved splashing in the rain puddles!

Canyon Lake with friends...

We went to Canyon Lake with some friends and the boat.. we had a great time!

I figure I will never get a shot of them all paying attention at the same time!
I am just happy they are all in the picture!!



Me and Jason wakeboarding... right before my huge faceplant!! OUCH!

Caden's life!

get a drink...

eat breakfast...
... and play!!

The Beginning is HERE!

Well, I am finally into this "blogging" frenzy!

I already stay up all night... what's another hour, right!!??

We had a big Fourth of July party and 20 little faces came over to eat and play!

We had a blast... here's the proof!

The boy in the bubble... Caden!!!
