Living in Saratoga, vacations and disasters

We have had quite the time these last few months! Really!

July we took a nine day vacation. We drove down to Vegas for two days than drove to Oceanside California to stay for a week. We took Logan and Blaire to Disney Land, the piers and beaches. It was amazing and so fun. We also visited San Diego and Old Towne. While In San Diego, we went to La Jolla Cove and got to see lots of seals on the beach. It was amazing to see. Disney Land was hot and crowded. We got their at 8 am and went on a few rides before the crowds came and sort of ruined the fun. Blaire is a little red head so she burns very easy, no matter how much sun screen we put on her. Logan was just hot. We got photos with the incredibles and Mickey Mouse and Belle, than decided to head back to  the hotel. We stayed in a hotel suite. It had a Kitchen, laundry room and frontroom. It was amazing! Later in the evening we drove back to Disneyland and finished the night with amazing fireworks.
All around, California was a blast. The kids did amazing on all the driving and we had lots of fun. A few days after getting home, I walked down stairs to put stuff into our storage room and discovered the flash flood that hit our neighborhood flooded a room in our basement. BUMMER! Luckily, we are insured and covered. We are on the burn scar of where the fire was last year so it has caused a few floods. Hopefully it all evens out soon though.

Blaire still hasn't started walking. That little girl has a sense to her, I like it though. She can walk, we have watched her take steps, but when it comes to her showing us how, she won't. I want this girl to stay a baby forever, so the slow on walking thing helps me hold on to that. Unfortunately, I know it won't last much longer. She can talk like nothing I have heard before. She repeats everything Logan says, and everything we say. Not everything she says sounds perfect, but a lot of the words do. She is very fast at learning, just like her brother. Logan knows all the letters, colors, shapes. He is learning numbers and sounds of letters. We have been working with them both with flash cards and pointing out everything we can.

Karlee is having a baby girl! She is due in November and I am so excited for her.
All this baby talk has been making me wonder if I might want another one. Time to time, it comes up between Rory and I. We talk like we want another, but I don't think it is in our future right now. I am content with two babies. They get lots of our love and attention. I think I mostly miss having a little baby, luckily both of our kids are petite. Blaire is just this tiny little girl and Logan is tall and skinny. Perfect little babies.

My Photography has been doing well. I shot my first wedding this month and it went amazing. I loved how everything turned out. August always seems to be a busy month for me. I had a newborn session, bridals, family, wedding, I am booked for one more newborn session, one child, one family and one baby. I love keeping busy and LOOVE what I get to do!

Rory and I are doing great. He has a brilliant idea for a website and we are very excited about getting it going when the time is right. We just celebrated our 7 year anniversary! 7 years! So much has happened and it has made me the happiest woman alive. Our 4 year anniversary is also coming up. I just can't help but feel so blessed to have met him and all the beautiful things our love has created and how far we have come. I am blessed to have him as my husband best friend and everything more.

January of this year my mom started her own bankruptcy and credit repair company. It has taken off and become very successful. We have always told her to do this but she put it off. I am so proud she finally jumped in. My mom is a genius. She has shown me how to be the woman I am. I love her so much!

We found out little Blaire has the same enamel problem as long. We caught hers soon enough that she hopefully wont need caps but will need a filling on the back of her tooth. She is scheduled for surgery on tuesday and we are praying and crossing our fingers that everything goes good. She is a little trooper thought and I know she will be so brave and she will do great!

I am so proud of my babies. I love them to pieces

I am off to bed. Good night blogger!
