Logan has reached 3 months!

Logan is three month old today. This has been some the best three months that Rory and I have had together. It has really taught us a lot about eachother and brought us even closer. It has made our relationship even stronger and we have fallen even more and more in love. Logan has the brightest smile. He smiles when you sing to him, he smiles when you talk to him, he smiles when I talk about dad, He smiles when I tell him how much we love him. He can talk all day long. He wakes up every day at around 6 a.m. and begins his conversations of goos and gas. He is a major cuddler and loves snuggling up to mommy and daddy in bed. He can roll over and has been standing with his legs since week one. The doctors and every one else are so amazed how strong he is with his legs and neck. He loves his vibrating bouncy chair and could play all day in it if I let him. He has the cutest frown and perfect smile. He is trying so hard to get that little chuckle out. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect life. I have every one here I need. My amazing husband and best friend who encourages me and loves me unconditionally. An amazing son who I love and adore, and amazing parents and siblings who keep me going.

This has been a fun week. LeeAnn got accepted into Pharmacy school and we went to her ceremony and celebrated. I am so proud of her and I truly look up to her. She is so intelligant and beautiful. It was also my moms and sister Julies birthday this week. I love spending time with my family. Rory and I and Logan could just hang out together all day, and we love getting together with my family and laughing and telling stories. I am glad my family is so tight knit. I have two shoots this weekend. A little hectic but I am so happy. They are both Family shoots so it should be lots of fun. Than on the 12th, I was asked to do an old friend of mine from middle school's pictures with her boyfriend. Than I have a wedding on the 25th, and I also have two maternity sets lined up. We are just waiting to set the date for those til they get a little bigger. I love what I do, and I love getting paid to do what I love. I am half way finished with my second photography course. There is so much more to photography than just pressing the shutter button, and I am so glad I get to learn every aspect of it. Rory and I have been shopping lots for me lately just because I fit in nothing. I am a lot smaller than I am used to so I go to buy clothes and Rory is like try it on first! Little did I know I fit in two sizes smaller. I am surprised. Rory has work in the morning. I am so proud of him. He loves what he does and has done so great at it. It is very tough work, but he manages and he always is so positive about it. We have been apartment searching and have toured a few, but we are really wondering if we should just go ahead and do it, or wait til we get the Prius. Either way I am happy and he is happy and that is all that matters. Austin comes home in the beginning of October. We are extatic and can't wait for him to meet his two new nephews. So friday we are going to Tepenyaki with our friends Conley and Brandi and Jared and Marci. We are all so excited. Conley and Brandi are so much like us and I am so glad we have a lot in common with them. Well, off to bed!

Happy 1 Year!

Happy one year anniversary to my amazing husband, Rory. This year has been filled with many wonderful surprises, including our perfect son, Logan. I am so thankful for the wonderful relationship we have and how good we work together. You are a great best friend, dad, soul mate and husband and I could never ask for more. I love everything about you. I look forward to the many years to come with you, all through eternity and after. I cant believe at around this time I was walking down the aisle to meet you hand in hand with my best friend and soul mate. You complete me. My better half and my everything. Thank you for all you do! I am so in love with you. I know we will be together forever and ever and after, always in love with eachother forever and ever and after, and always happy with eachother forever and ever and after. I love you and I am in love with you. We have the most perfect family. Thank you Rory.

Snowbird trip!

So we got back from our week trip in Snowbird. It was lots and lots of fun! We stayed at the Cliff and relaxed. The views were amazing. We went to Tepenyaki for dinner for our wedding anniversary. We also took Logan in to the doctors and found out he has an ear infection in both ears, but luckily he is doing much better now. Poor baby. I am down to 123 pounds. I feel great. Life is so amazing. It is such a gift and I am so blessed to have what I do. We had lots of fun in Snowbird and it made me realize even more what a great husband I have, and beautiful baby and perfect family. Rory goes back to work tuesday after taking the week off, I go back to being a full time mommy while Rory is at work. I love my life so much and my family and my whole family as well. We went to dinner last night with Conley and Brandy. That was actually a lot of fun! We stayed for like five hours after we ate, til they closed. It was fun. They are a great couple and we all have a lot in common. Logan is such a talker. He talks and talks and talks. It is like he is having a conversation with us! We love it and I have plenty of videos of him. I have a shoot to do on the 4th of september for a family, but I am still debating on where to do it at. I have two places in mind that are both incredibly beautiful, but I just can't decide! Anyways, here are a few pics of this week!

Picture time~

Logan, looking chubby as can be!

At church with dad

Lol Logans face, so cute. I look crappy not wearing makeup, but thats okay.

My beautiful hubby and I

My dad and I with Logan after a photo shoot.

My family at church

Pretty clouds

Logan after he got his shots, poor baby

Austin in Afghanistan, a few more weeks and he will be home :)

Logan is 10 weeks 2 days!

Time flies. He is such a big boy. He got his shots on the 2 of this month, did so good! He had a fever from them for a week but it is gone now. He weighs 11 pouns 13 ounces and is 23 inches long! I have lost a total of 50 pounds since having him. Breast feeding is like the best work out ever! Haha, well combined with eating a lot healthier, but I think it is mostly from Breastfeeding. Last time I was this skinny was middle school. Its hard to believe the day I had him I weighed 175 lol. I guess thats what pregnancy does to you. So we leave for our trip on Saturday, and I am way excited. It will be good to get out for a little bit. Right now, Rory is at work, Hogey Logey is asleep and I am sitting here with a migraine, but still happy as can be. We went to Buckle a few days ago and had to buy me another pair of pants because my others don't fit any more, this is like the 4 pair since I was pregnant. Sucky, but I decided I am not buying any more til my weight stops dropping. So I went and got the IUD almost two weeks ago, so far it is great. No weight gain and minimal spotting. Rory likes it as well, it lasts five years but we can take it out at any time to start trying for another little one. So I am looking into buy some new lenses for my camera. Really looking at the 55mm f/1.8. It is perfect for what I do, and I need a need lense hood and external flash, but those have a time later down the road :). Rory gets his present this week for our anniversary. We are giving our presents in the middle of our wedding anniversary and other one. He got the SOcal cologne from Hollister, it is his favorite. Today we have to go buy a bouncy chair for Logan, so I am off!

Four years today

Today is Rory and I's four year anniversary. The best four years of our lives and an eternity to go. He has been my best friend, soul mate, hero, angel and love and I could not ask for more. We have our little arguments which only bring us closer, and we have our big laughs that grow our love faster. Never will we be apart. This life was meant for us to be together and to raise our cute family. When I first saw you, my heart knew you were meant for me, and knew we would have great memories together. You have made me a better person, made me realize I am much better than what I thought I was, made me see what I deserve in life and who deserves to be there with me. I am so blessed to have you, to have Logan and to have our strong relationship. I have been thinking all day of what to write in this letter, but words strong enough to describe how in love with you I am have not been made. I just keep thinking of our favorite memories together. So that's what I will do, list my favorite memories with you.

My favorite Memories

Prank calling you while at Puppy Palace

This was the first time I heard your voice. You made me laugh and I loved it! You couldn't be fooled that my name was Ching Chow either :)

Meeting you at the park for the first time

First time our eyes met. I fell in love. Something I didn't think was possible, love at first sight, but I was proven wrong.

Sneaking to Jordan Landings to see you

You always had the cutest outfits on. Tight flared girl jeans, a white superman tee with a green striped button up underneath. Ow ow!

Our First Kiss :)

I walked to Smiths to see you. We sat in the Toilet paper aisle. When no one was around you went in for a kiss, but I didn't know and put my head down. I got a big wet kiss on my nose. After that, we kissed again. Sparks flew, firecrackers were going off everywhere, it was like in the movies! Okay, not really but it was an amazing moment.

That phone call of you asking me how I would like "it" HAHA!

Right after we talked about how we wanted to wait for marriage to do the deed, you asked "when we do do it, how do you want it" I was confused because you asked this joke to me on Christmas that year about that, so I correlated your question to that joke and answered "Lubricated" HAHA! You laughed and laughed and I felt completely stupid. :)

When You first met my mom ( so scary for me )

You came to the door with two lip rings in. You would have taken them about before hand but you just pierced them so taking them out would have closed the hole. My mom asked, oh my gosh what is stuck in your lip! Do you want me to get the pliers? Never will I forget that.

Going to the movies and watching A Night At The Museum 50 times.

I will admit, when we are together it is hard for us to keep our hands to eachother. We saw this movie so many times, just so we could have a place to sit and make out with out the worry of getting caught.

Talking on the phone with you for hours at a time

Hearing your voice brightens my day, and you can always make me laugh. It was hard not being able to see you all those days, but the phone calls helped me get through.

Going to watch Norbert but there was no seats left.

We got to the theater and it was packed with people, we would have had to sit on the floor so we decided to do something else. We went behind a business, it was really dark, and we made out :) Than I had a bad feeling so we left and went and bought Silly putty haha.

Watching Texas Chain Saw Massacre on the laptop.

You will know why this was a favorite memory of mine. ;)

You coming over unannounced when I wasn't ready.

I felt so stupid because I was fixing my hair so it was all crazy, but you called me beautiful any ways.

You having to sleep over because your sister took the car.

Our first sleep over. You slept on the cough upstairs and I slept in my bed. I woke up extra early to brush my teeth and fix my hair so you couldn't smell my stinky breath.
Bowling with you.

I loved bowling trips with you. Even that time I let you sit on my lap and you farted :D
Eating at Burger King.
We ate there so much we got sick.

Same with Mcdonalds :)

Our Idaho Trips.

Those sucked at the time, but looking back we had lots of great laughs.

You sitting in dog poo HAHA!

Probably not your favorite memory
Meeting your family.

They scared the crap out of me. It was Easter
They talked about Puppy Palace.
Going To California with you and my family.
You wouldn't go in the water at the beach with me, but we still had fun. Disney Land was probably not worth the wait :)

Buying our wedding rings.

We were so excited to tell the world we were engaged!

Planning our wedding.

We both were so excited for it that really anything would have worked.

Our wedding day.

I can remember waking up that day feeling so many butterflies. I was so nervous, excited and everything else you can imagine. I remember walking down the aisle and seeing nothing but you and your perfect face. When we kissed a new world opened up to me.

In the middle of an argument, you making me laugh.

You always make me laugh.

Positive pregnancy test.

You woke me up at 7 AM to take it, I told you not to get your hopes high, I peed and before my pants were on it was positive. We layed in bed together and I cried. I was so happy. I will never forget this.

Every morning I puked.

You pulling my hair out of my face while I puked from morning sickness.

Laying in bed with you while we felt Logan kick.

Perfect.

You holding me while I had contractions.

They hurt, but you holding me made it better.

You forcing me to go to the hospital.

You were right, I was in labor.

Holding your hand during labor.

I thought I was going to die, but you kept telling me how great I was doing. You made me keep going.

Watching you hold Logan the first time.

I was amazed that you took being a father so naturally.

Watching you change his diaper in the hospital.

He peed, literally every where.

You walking me to the bathroom because I couldn't walk by my self.

At that point, I don't care how much of a pollatipuss I looked like :)

First week home with Logan.

So hard and so fun.

Every day of my life with you.

You are my everything.

I love you and can't wait for the many more years of eternity with you. I am so in love with you. Together forever and ever and after, always in love with eachother forever and ever and after and always happy with eachother forever and ever and after. Love you more no battle no battleing it!

Heres to years of more favorite memories!
