Logan, looking chubby as can be!

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!

Logan is 8 weeks 4 days :)

Keiths tattoo

My moms before and after

Our cute family

Happy Logan!

What a big boy! He is so smart. He has been smiling so much lately. He started smiling at 4 weeks, rolling stomach to back at 3 weeks and is now rolling from back to stomach which is scary because he rolls on to his tummy in his sleep so I have to keep rolling him back over. He is now sleeping through the night, w00t w00t! So Saturday is Lukey boy's friday, he will be one years old, and his party is on saturday, and Rorys grandmas birthday is saturday and she will be 82. She is such a sweet lady and we love her! Today we went to my check up and everything looks great! I got the IUD inserted so I won't get pregnant for five years. We are thinking three years for another, and I will have it removed than. By that point Rory will be out of school or close to it so it will be great timing. So we are staying at the Snowbird Cliff club. It is really pretty and it will be nice to have a get away.

As of now, Austin comes home September 29th. We are all so excited, but hoping they don't move the date. He has done so good and we are all so proud of him. So my mom and Keith have become tatholics :). They have each gotten two tattoos in two months. They are really cool though and very meaningful. My mom got Keith, My Love tattooed on her wrist and her second tattoo she got 7 1/2 hearts surrounding it to represent her 7 kids and the one baby she lost. Keith got Connie My life on his chest and his second tattoo was a row of scrolls with all of our names on it and our family crest. I will have to post some pictures. Once I stop breastfeeding we will go get ours.

August is going to be a busy month. We have our trip from the 14th-21st, two family shoots, and a wedding at the end. I am so excited though. I love being able to do my work with Logan with me.

Rory and I watched a really good movie the other night. It was called The Fourth Kind. It is a true story with real audio and real footage of abductions and killings from posession, it is really interesting.

So I am half way done with the photography course I have been doing. I really enjoy what I am learning and glad I can use this to improve what I am doing in life. Even if it is just for a side money, I do it because I love it.

Anyways, gotta get stuff done!

Logan is 7 weeks and 2 days :)

Little man is getting big! He is so good at rolling from tummy to back, has been doing this since about 4 weeks, and smiles so much! He is the cutest talker and even the cutest fit thrower. He is so tall and so cute and we love him so much! We are getting our Prius hopefully in the next three weeks. We have to send 3,000 to Rorys Corolla to pay it off, and we want to put 3,000 down on the Prius, so far we have sent 1,000 to the Corolla in one week and saved around 700 for the Prius. We are so excited, expecially for how much driving we do this will be perfect. It has many great features. So on the 14th of AUgust we are going to Snowbird for a week for our anniversary. Rory, Logan and I will be going down the 14th through the 17th, and than Karlee and Luke will be coming down through the 21st, because Karlee needs a little break and get away plus we love hanging with her and Lukey. We are staying in a Studio room so it has a kitchen so we will just be buying groceries and such and cooking there a lot. I can't wait. It will be Rory and I's first vacation in a long time, and Logans first one ever. I have done four shoots this week, getting paid $40-$60 each session. Love it! I also have two maternity sets lined up for October and November. I love what I do! I love getting better at what I do and I love learning more about myself in the mean while. Photoshop has been coming easier and easier with all the learning I am doing with that as well, you can do some amazing things with it! Rory and I will have been together for 4 years on the 6 of August and married a year on the 25th of August. So many great years and so many great more to come. Lots of beautiful memories and moments that I will treasure for a life time. I am so blessed to have him in my life and have him for our eternity and for our beautiful little family. So I am down fourty 7 pounds and still losing. I feel great! Anyways, I am off to cuddle with my two boys! Good night everyone!

Logan is 6 weeks and 1 day :)

Love my two boys!

Haha! Logan sleeping in his crib. Super handsome!

Oh boy he is growing so much so fast! Bitter sweet. He is now 10 pounds and almost 23 inches tall. He is soooo precious and amazing and Rory and I could not be happier! On saturday we had Logan blessed. Rorys dad, grandpa and two cousins blessed him. It was such a special moment and Logan did wonderful. So this week we are planning on getting our new Prius. If everything goes well we will be driving to Oregon for our anniversary, but if we end up not getting the Prius we will just be going to Snowbird for the week and Karlee and Luke will also be coming. It should be lots of fun! Rory and I went and bought me some new clothes this week. I feel so great about my body, which is surprising for me. I can now fit in to size small shirts, they are a little snug around the chest area, but otherwise fit, I havent fit into a small since middle school! WOOHOO! My pant size is in an awkward stage but I can fit into a 27-29 depending on the brand of pants. I just feel wonderful. Rory and I are doing wonderful. I am so blessed to have Rory and Logan and my family. So friday I did a shoot for three little boys. Very cute too! Two of them were brothers and one was their cousin. They turned out very cute. It is nice to get paid doing what you love, even if it is only an occasional, extra money kind of thing. Friday night for some reason my thighs were extremely sore and I could not even touch them. I went to see my doctor today and they are determing whether or not I have red blood cell detiration. Not good but it is something you can fix which is good. Next week I have two more shoots. A little busy but it will be good for me. Rory and I's year anniversary is next month for being married, and being together a total of four years. Feels great to have found the love of my life and so mate so young so we can spend more of life together. He is an amazing dad and husband and best friend and I am so thankful for him and Logan.

Little Logans first real smile :)

I feel like I look huge in that picture :), I do look pretty good for only being two weeks out in that pic though! Logan has the cutest face ever! Rory and I did so good. I love my hubby and baby boy.

So Logan showed his mommy and daddy his first big beautiful and real smile (not a gas one either!) on July 7. Oh how precious it was. Playing with his little chin and talking to him really gets him going. It lit up our world! He is such a sweet baby. He has gained 2 pounds and grew almost 3 inches! Crazy that they grow so fast. On tuesday I go in for my six week check up. All should go well. Hopefully I healed okay from the getting cut part, but doc said because I went completely drug free that my body should heal it self fast and better. I am also getting the IUD inserted. Five years tops, but we are thinking the year Rory gets out of school to get it removed and try for another little one. Tomorrow morning I have a shoot with three little boys. I am super excited and a little nervous, I tend to get that way before a shoot. So Rory and I have started a new thing. We do show nights every night before bed. Kind of like an inhome date night. We have finished lots of series of great shows. Weeds, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Heroes. Its lots of fun! I am so lucky to have such an amazing little family! Logan is getting blessed on Saturday, I am so happy. He looks so handsome in Rorys old blessing outfit. Taking after daddy so well! Well, I better get some sleep, the shoot is at eleven AM and I have to be up at 8 to get Logan on his feeding schedule. BYE!
