Crazy Hair Day




It was Crazy hair Day at Carsen's school and he is "growing it out" It looks pretty shaggy to me but if he likes it... Anyways, we desided it was long enough to put in little elastics and make a mohawk. Sawyer wanted in on the action. His wasn't very long but we got a few in. These two are so crazy sometimes!

You'll always be my baby!





So.. I went to a photography seminar for the IPPA (Intermountian Professional Photographers Association) and had to take Drew cuz it was an all day thing and you moms know the whole nursing thing. (it is sometims just easier to take them along than to prepare for the day away from them) Anyways... There was this awesome speaker/photographer there talking on studio lighting and so on and he asked if I would come up and let him shoot a few of me and my baby. Sure! I love pics of my kids. And is is rather difficult to get any mom and me pics when you are the one always behind the camera. But, how adorable is my Drew? And This guy did awesome! He is such a pro. I hope one day I can shoot as great as him. His name is Dennis Hammon.

Boys and bruises




I have a suspicion that Sawyer might be my accident prone kid. He is always falling and getting bruises and cuts. The thing is, he isn't a big cryer so that's good. If he gets hurt and really cries, we know there is something wrong! 
This time,  Carsen and him were jumping around on the couches and Sawyer went to jump over a bag on the floor and tripped over it making him land on the edge of the couch. EWWW! He bit right through his lip and there was blood everywhere! You could see right where his little teeth were. I thought he might need stitches but they told me mouths heal very fast so I wouldn't need to. It is true because not even a week later it was almost completely healed. The morning after it happened, poor Sawyer had the biggest lip we had ever seen! These pics were taken 2 days after the accident. What a kid!

Giddy Up!!


So this year I am going to do it! Well, I am going to try to do it. I want to run the 10 K. Two years ago I ran the 5 K and I loved it. I think I was in the best shape I have ever been. So since I couldn't run it last year. (Bun in the Oven) I need to really crack down and do better this year. So maybe one year I will actually be able to run a 26 mile marathon. Wow, wouldn't that be the day!!! Some people say, "Why would you even want to do that?"  Gosh , I would just love to be that physically fit to be able to!! So the reason for this post is to extend an invitation to any one who wants to reach this goal with me. I know all the cities have the fun runs but I am shooting for Spanish Forks and Salems. (Salem has a 5K, Spanish has a 10K) The 5 K really isn't as hard as it sounds. It is only a little over 3 miles. I have been going to gold's in the mornings if anyone wants to go too. Mondays @ 1030. Tuesdays @ 1030, Thursdays @1030, Fridays @9:00 and on occation Saturdays @ 9:00. These are classes either pump or turbo kick. They are so awesome, I love them and you get the best workout! So anyone who is interested let me know.I am excited to get myself back in shape and be able to run this summer. It's going to be fun!  Any takers?

10 things you may not know about me

1- I love Patrick Swayze! I think he is so cute! I think Nick kind of looks like him and I love it. The greatest movie of all time is Dirty Dancing. I have probably seen it like 400 times and every time I watch it I just think, "Oh sexy Johnny Castle! I sure am lucky my husband looks like him." And then I want to go on vacation, go dancing and take his shirt off! Rarrrr!
2-Me and My best friend weren't always best friends. I know it is hard to believe now because we are closer than ever but yes, My sister Tracy and I didn't like each other all through high school. (we had some growing up to do I guess.) I don't know what I would do without her now. I am glad we seen the light. Luv ya Trac!
3-I am learning to play guitar. I have been wanting to for years. Nick bought me a guitar for my birthday about 4 years ago and I was so excited I cried then never learned to play. My sister plays, My two uncle plays and I cant wait to play with them all now. My goal is to be able to play at least 4 songs by June. 
4-I get so nervous before a photo shoot! I know I shouldn't because I feel I have been taking pictures for so long ( is 6 years so long? ) But I always feel I need to know more and do better and there is always the possibility of messing up, and  not pleasing the person you are working for. It usually turns out fine but I still get so nervous! Weddings are the worse!
5-water is my drink of choice. This is all I ever drink. I love it. I even get sick if I drink soda. Too sugary. So If we are out to dinner or lunch or whatever and the waiter asks what would you like to drink, and I say "I'll just have a water" I'm not just being cheap, I really would order a water even if they charged $1.99 for one. 
6-I love to run! It is exhilarating! This year I am going to run the 5k again, and hopefully try to 10k. I love the way I feel after a good run. (And it is a great way to loose extra baby weight!)
7- I hate hate hate cigarettes! maybe this is because my dad is a big time smoker. But I hate it. It stinks, It makes you all wrinkly, your teeth yellow. So unattractive! Nothing is worse that when you see a cute girl or guy and then you see them light up. Come On!! But let me say..I don't hate the people behind the cigarette, just the habit. Lets make that clear, I have many loved ones that support the habit. 
8-I am somewhat of a gym freak! Not that you can't tell by my Muscle ripped body (as if!) but I do hit the gym about 4 times a week and I love it. I am not the person who "dreads" it. I really look forward to a good, sweaty, red face workout. 
9-I love chocolate! I am so addicted! After a meal I need a chocolate chaser! (kind of like the smoker) It is bad! I go rummaging through my house trying to find that one little ounce of chocolate. It has gone as far as getting that last little chocolate chip that is in the back of the freezer and sighing the sigh of pure satisfaction! What have I become!!!
10-I love to play softball. I am not a good softball player but I do love to play. Can't wait for the season this year know that I am not pregnant! Giddy up!
One more thing I must add that everyone probably does know about me is how much I love my boys! Nick, Carsen, Sawyer and Baby Drew. The loves of My life!!!!
So there you have it. Any one reading this you are also officially "tagged" Do I need to mention names? o.k. Kiley, Kenzy, Tracy, Amanda, Ali, Addy, Heather your up!
