29 days and Logan is 1!

I am so excited for Logans birthday. His birthday is in 29 days! To think that this time last year I was pregnant and being told to expect him at any minute. Rory and I are doing great. He got a job as a security guard and is working on getting into the Post Office. We have decided that if he gets the job at the Post Office, we will try for another baby and move into an apartment. We are stoked! Poor little Logan is getting 5 teeth at once. His top two fangs, bottom two fangs and a molar. Poor buddy, and as upset and grumpy as he is, he keeps up with lots of hugs and kisses! Right now, Rory is working the night shift til midnight. Logan is taking a nap, I just finished making donuts and now Reily and I are watching Twilight. Yep! I have been in this baking mode lately. Not sure why, but I love it! As well as cleaning mode, craft mode! It is fun and keeps me busy while Rory works all the time. Logan and I also play out side a lot and eat cookies and watch cartoons and his favorite movies. Really, all of my day revolves around that sweet little boy. I love it! I love being a mom and a wife, full time :) Some times it gets difficult, but it is worth every minute. Logan is with me 24/7. He goes every where with us. We love it that way. Even though some times I can not go to the bathroom by my self unless he is asleep or do any crafts til he is asleep I would not change a single thing. We had a great Easter. Logan got spoiled with lots of treats and toys. He loves his sippy cups. We are starting on the weaning process now. Anyways, gotta go hang with my family. Bye!

Been a while!

My amazing hubs!
Logan a week before his hair cut, LONG hair! Loves his buzz shirt!
He looks so little!
Hippie and all natural baby!
My handsome big boy!
It has been a while since I have written here and decided it was time for an update. Logan got his first hair cut last month. It was so bitter sweet. He looks so much older now. He is just about walking, in fact he knows how to walk he is just to afraid to do it now. He will do it eventually though, he is super smart and very advanced. He is now 10 1/2 months old. We are planning his birthday party since it is at the end of next month. It is weird that he is almost one. Rory and I are doing wonderful. He is the most amazing husband, I can not say it enough! I had a migraine the other day so bad I could not move, I had not eaten anything all day, that night he went and got me dinner and helped me eat. I could not ask for a better man in mine and Logans life. He truly is perfect.
Logans favorite words, dada, mama, papa, he is learning dog dog and he almost has byebye down perfectly. He loves chicken nuggets, and he is finally eating solids better. We had a choking scare last month, it was very scary and tramatic, but he is fine and dandy and doing great. He loves feeding the dogs his food and loves feeding mama his food as well. LOVES cheerios and ice cream. He is on a perfect schedule. He also loves oatmeal. He is getting his two fang teeth on top in. That would be number 9 and 10. He has the longest eye lashes. I love him so much! He LOVES Sesame Street and Toy Story, Hates socks and shoes, but he loves his Toy Story socks :).

I don't know why I have been so blessed. I have the perfect husband, perfect baby, and perfect family. With everything going on in the world, I feel compelled to really appreciate how much I have. A healthy family, a safe home, clean water and food, I feel guilty for ever saying my life was hard because in all actuality, I have a dream life to those in Haiti and other places. Be grateful for what you have.

Sometimes, I wish my heart wasn't so big. I end up worrying about the homeless man I saw walking around or the guy with cancer I noticed or even the person begging for money. It makes my heart ache and tummy turn. I truly wish I could help those in need, I would in a heart beat.

I have no idea why those turned out small but what ever. Anyways, my insurance approved the botox injections in my neck for my migraines. I am so lucky, it is really hard to be approved for them because they are so expensive and you have to have migraines pretty bad. I get my first set on May 19th. I have a better out look now. I can not wait to wake up with out a headache and no more migraines, at least not as many. Tomorrow I am hoping to go get a pedicure and maybe a new shirt? Rory is too sweet. He always tells me how much I do, and tells me I need a little pampering. Of coarse I don't shop all the time and pamper all the time, so he forces me too when I absolutely need it. He is just to amazing and caring. Anyways, off to bed! night!

Logan is 9 months!

Holy Moly! 9 months? Where did it go? Logan is so smart. He can now say Gampa, Papa, Mama, Dada, working on Dont and byebye. He is starting to stand on his own, he will stand for 30 seconds than sit down. He is very early and fast at learning. He is so independent. He loves his mama and dada and Grandpa K. He is so funny and so full of life. How did we go on with life with out this little guy? We love him so much! He loves his cousin Knox and his aunts and uncles Reece, Reily and Afton. He LOVES music and puppets. He is so perfect.
Rory and I are doing wonderful. Since it is hard to go to dinner and movies, we do family nights in. We get to go from Olive Garden or where ever we crave and watch movies in bed with Logan. It is actually a lot of fun and relaxing. I am now down to 105 lbs. Yipee! 100 is my goal. Won't go lower than that though. Rory is now an official Notary. Way cool! We are saving up a nice down payment for a house for next year. Life is just amazing. I just can't believe how far we have come and how much we have grown up. It is weird where life takes you. Even through the ups and downs, I am just so happy with where we are at. Today, we are bringing flowers to my good friend Kenzie who just had a major surgery done and had to stay a few nights in the hospital. It will be good to see her, because it has been a while. I love doing nice things for the ones I love and even strangers, even though I don't always get it in return, I just love the feeling it gives me. I was talking to Rory about doing volunteer work for sick children or the homeless. I would love to do photos for children in the hospital or work at a shelter for the homeless. Anyways, gotta get my hair fixed. Bye!

All about Rory

My everything.

Rory and I forever ago.
I was reading through my blog the other day and realized, there isn't much about Rory in here. There is a lot about how amazing he is and how much I love him, but not so much about who Rory is. I think EVERYONE should get to know Rory, because yes, he is amazing. So heres a few things about my best friend.

He is the funniest person ever. I swear, everything that comes out of his mouth is meant to make you laugh. He has a crude sense of humor, but holy crap he is funny. He brings laughter to the saddest room. The things that he comes up with boggle my brain, ( and hurt my stomach from laughing so hard )

He sings, a lot. I love it. He knows every song on the radio, no kidding. He has a pretty sexy voice too, I will admit. He can sing every lyric correct, and even when he can't he likes to "add his own lyrics" as he calls it. They are so funny. Sometimes, while I enjoy some country music that he usually doesn't like ( I say usually because I know a few that he loves! ) he will add his own lyrics making fun of the song, and yea it drives me crazy during my favorite songs, especially when I can't just listen and sing the right lyrics, but I know I would miss it if he stopped.

His favorite color is blue. He loves navy blue, and a light blue, almost like the sky. In fact, he chose our wedding colors, baby blue and white. He even had his car color navy blue.

He loves sweats. He can rock them well too. He is pretty stylish, when he wants to be ;). Truly, he can dress up so handsome. He has his own creative side to his style, but sweats are the way to go for him, and sweat shorts.

He looks AMAZING in the color green. It makes his eyes soooooo appealing ( his eyes are soooo amazing, the perfect hazel color) and his beautiful red hair stand out a lot. It makes his skin color a little more tan.

He goes through many phases. His most recent one was programming apps. He went through a paintballing one as well. He loves learning new things, and I know if he could that is what he would do all day. He is so good at everything he does. And even after his phase is over, he likes to go back to it and enjoy it still.

He is the best dad ever. Him and Logan are so close. It is so fun to watch them together. Logan lights up when he sees dad. Rory just knows the way with that boy! You can just see how much he adores his dad. Rory and Logan have a lot of fun together. Logan is a little dare devil and Rory is his teacher! Rory will throw him into the air and do spins and flips and I am screaming in the back ground while Rory and Logan are laughing and smiling.

He is an incredible husband. He listens to me and my feelings. He holds me when I am feeling down. He just knows when something is wrong. He writes the sweetest things to me. He spoils me rotten. He loves me so much. He is so supportive. He loves me for me,

Rory does NOT gain weight. Yea it makes me mad! He eats anything and everything and hasn't gained a pound since 9th grade. Umm, lucky!!! He has this amazing body and he doesn't have to do anything for it. Yea, I am jealous.

He hates anything spicy. Even pepper is to spicy for him. It makes me laugh, and my whole family laugh too lol. Every once in a while he will eat something with a little zing, which surprises me so much, but you won't see it often.

Every night before falling asleep, we say the same thing Together forever and ever and after always in love with each other forever and ever and after and always in happy with each other forever and ever and after. I promise. It has been that way for almost 5 years now, and it will be that way for forever and after.

He is simply the most amazing man alive. He does so much for Logan and I and I love him so much. He is my best friend and soul mate and I look forward to spending the rest of my life and after with him by my side. I could not ask for a better dad for Logan and I am so blessed to have him. I am so in love with him and I know we will be together forever and ever and after always in love with each other forever and ever and after and always in happy with each other forever and ever and after. I promise. I know I will forever have him and Logan.

Mmm, Love :)

Sitting in bed tonight, while my two boys are fast and comfortable asleep, realizing how so deeply in love I am. Today, I cried to Rory, and guess what he did? Hugged me, let me cry. It was amazing! I cried because I yet again have a migraine. If it isn't a migraine, its a head ache. I cried because I can't remember the last day I went with out getting at least a head ache. Discouraging, but I move on with life. I guess that is my one flaw in life. Rory and Logan definitely keep me sane, and happy. I am getting used to the head aches, slowly but surely. I am just so grateful for everything else that I do have. I love Rory, so deeply, so truly. He is my rock. He is everything, to me. He loves me so much. We are just so perfect together. Perfect partners, perfect team. We have so much in common, and so much not in common. Seriously. I know a lot of people these days are not happy, but I can say I am happy. I am so in love with my husband, my best friend, and my sons father. We are not owed love. That’s why when we get it, we know how lucky we are and hold on to it for dear life. I will never let what we have go, it is far to special. I am so in love. My heart is his, forever. Look where we are because of it. We have Logan. We have eternity together, with Logan. I am so happy.

Logan

This is Logan copying our face. So cute!
Logan and dad!
Logans new teddy bear!
Just one of me since I never post any of me.
Dang, I am so amazed about how fast this little man learns! His new thing is opening all the drawers and cupboards. He loves doing it! He has not been feeling good lately. He has a small case of RSV. Poor buddy, and his molars are coming in so he is just not feeling great. He still has that big bright smile that can light up the darkest room though. Tomorrow should be a good day. Logan and I are going to an old friends baby shower. I haven't seen her and her sister Jessica in a long time, and I am stoked to finally be able to, as well as a few old friends from middle school as well. Unfortunately I won't get to stay the whole time, but it will be good to see everyone again. Last week I had the stomach flu, oh boy! It was bad, I ended up going to the hospital really dehydrated, but I feel so much better today. For Valentines, we took Logan to build a bear and got him a stuffed puppy with a cool Iron man shirt. We got our parents some candy from See's. Rory got me an awesome 32gb SD card, which is exactly what I needed! I got Rory some yummy cologne from Hollister. Rory and I have a huge opportunity opening for us, including my mom. We are really excited for what it is bringing to us. Rory, Logan and I might be moving to Vernal for a year or so, but it will be such a new and exciting time for us. I am so glad to be able to be a stay at home mom with Logan. I can not imagine having to leave him, and I commend other mothers that do. It takes a lot of courage and strength to leave your baby, even it is for a few hours, it has to suck leaving the, but it is awesome that they do. Logan also has thrush. Poor bud is having a tough week. On tuesday is Reecy boys birthday. Rory is taking him paintballing. Tonight, while organizing our closet, a huge spider crawled onto my leg. Oh my gosh, I jumped and screamed over and over, while Rory and Logan stared at me like I was nuts. Did I mention that we bought a Mac book? It is pretty nice and we love it. We paid a years worth of car insurance and put some more into our savings for a down payment on a house. But, I gotta go to bed. Night!

Great week!

My perfect baby boy, He is going to be 8 months next month! Woohoo! Big boy! SO cute and SO smart!

A couple from the maternity session I did this weekend.

Love this one!

and a few from the newborn session I did this week as well! She was like a porclean doll!

It has been a wonderful and busy week! I have had three shoots this week which all turned out beautifully! Logan is learning so much and being the best baby ever. Austin is coming down on Wed. and Leeanns birthday is tomorrow. Rory and I's tax return is coming next week, we have paid a years worth of insurance, we have been a couple months ahead on our car payment which we refinanced a few weeks ago and got our car payment cut in half, we pay two payments ahead now. With our tax return we are going to buy a Mac laptop. I got my new lens that I absolutely adore! It has just been an all around great month. I know this is my year to shine. I am so glad I have my family. I am so glad to be where I am today. I have already got two shoots lined up in February and in May. I have a session on saturday and a maternity session right after. It just feels good to know that all my work is paying off. I took so much time to learn what I needed and it is finally being able to show. Logan is getting his 8th tooth and trying SO hard to walk. He can now clap, scrunch his face when we tell him too, high five, crawl, pull him self to stand, stand with out noticing for a few seconds, sing, dada, mama when he cries :) he can feed him self and is using a sippy cup GREAT he loves pop tarts and crackers, still hates the car seat :) he can crawl and get into the sitting position, he can get to the sitting position than crawl, he is just so perfect and so smart. Rory is planning to get to school this semester to be a pharmacy tech til he can get into for programming. Life is just perfect and I could not be happier!
