Happy birthday baby Blaire

Blaire turned one on the 14th. The saturday before we had a family party at the park. It was perfect! She got lots of baby dolls and puppy toys :)

The day of Blaires birthday, Logan ended up having to get another surgery on his tooth after he fell and cracked his crown. They were able to fix it back to new, but it was not a happy moment telling Logan goodbye again while they did the surgery. It was completely heartbreaking, but he came out like a champ and is as good as new! We are very proud of how brave he was!

Blaire is not quite walking but she is SO close. She is so tiny that it looks so funny watching her. She is such a sweet baby. Talks so much and copies Logan on everything. She loves playing puppies and having us crawl around with her and bark with her. She is such a sweety and gives loves to everything. She can wave, crawl super fast, stand, furniture surf like a champ, high five, clap, peek a boo! and so much more! She is super good at talking and can say dada, mama, byebye, puppy, bubbles and more. She tries to say everything we tell her. You are always taking lids off and putting them back on.

Blaire,

In this short and fast year, you have exceeded all of our hopes about you. You have learned everything so fast and have been such an easy baby. You are beautiful and so perfect. Daddy and I love you so much. We are so proud of you and Logan and are so proud to be your parents. In one year you have grown and turned in to this little sweet, smart toddler. We cant wait for another year with you. We love you so much baby girl!!

Here are some one year photos I did of you last week

Life moves fast

We have had a few good weeks around here. Stressful, yes. Good, yes.

Blaire is getting so close to walking. She is just this tiny little body and it looks so funny. She can stand and she has taken a few steps. Next week is her first birthday. What. The. Heck. One whole year with this girl has made us one happy family. She grows and learns SO fast. She is a little copy cat. Copies everything Logan does. It is the cutest thing how much she looks up to him. She loves shoes. Loves when daddy brushes her hair. Hates brushing her teeth and eats EVERYTHING she can fit into her mouth.

Logan is our little buddy. Talks to us like it is NOTHING. He has complete conversations with us and comes to us all excited to tell us cool stories. Makes my eyes swell. He is so protective of Blaire and always runs to tell me if he thinks there is something wrong. We switched Blaire forward facing, a week early but I believe she is ready. She is not so sure about mommy not sitting by her anymore, but she will grow to get used to it.

I have had bad migraines all week. Rory has been a champ about taking care of me and the kids. In fact, he is out at the gas station with Logan while Blaire and I cuddle and he is getting us snacks.

I have been keeping busy with photo sessions. Love to meet new people and create beautiful memories. I am proud of how far I have come. I have learned so much.

This week we will be doing Blaires birthday photos and I can not wait! Logan gets his surgery the day of Blaires birthday next week. Logans best friend and cousin has be sedated to get a cavity filled the same day at the same place so I am hoping having little Knox there will make things less scary for him.

A few photos of a little guy I did this week

Exciting news!

I want to SO badly announce our good news, but we decided to wait til we know it is a for sure thing. But I have to say, I feel so good about everything!

Rorys parents moved to Vegas in March. We have been missing them! They will be down at the end of May and we are so excited to see them!

Poor little Logan fell off the counter and split the cap on his front tooth completely in half. I took him to the dentist the next dayand they said it would've fine to leave it as it is, or they can fix it. We decided to have it fixed. I know it might seem silly, but I would never put that on u child. He will be going to schooling a few years and I know from first experience how mean kids are and I can't stand the thought of kids putting my little guy down. I feel guilty at the same time though, but I know it will save him, and myself mostly, a lot of tears down the road. His surgery is scheduled for May 14, Blair's birthday. It will be in the morning so that makes it better.

Logan is doing well though. He actually does amazing at the dentist. He doesn't cry at all. He is such a little champ. He is such a cool little guy. He amazes me every day with how much he learns.  I cannot believe he is going to be 3 years old. Where did baby Logan go? He is so smart. He is also our little Justin Beiber. He loves to sing and likes a wide variety of music which makes his mommy proud. He is finally growing out of his size two pants. I never thought I would say that. He is just so petite. He is obsessed with super heros. His birthday Willie a super hero theme. We decided to rent a bounce house and cotton candy machine and do a big party at our place for his birthday and Blair's first birthday. Next year we will start doing separate birthday so they each have a special day. We will be mixing super heros with princess theme for them both.

Blaire has 5 teeth. She is also so petite and still fits inner size six month clothes. She is so close to walking. Sheis still breastfed because she is not such a big solid food girl yet. She is also a talker. She can tell us the sounds a puppy makes, she says pup pup instead of puppy, waves, claps loves peek a boo, great kisser :) sweet loves. I can't believe she is going to be one! She is the sweetest girl. Se seriously never crises unless she is hungry or tired. She is a little copy cat. Se loves copying everything we do.

I am so proud of my sweet beautiful and smart babies!

Rory and I are doing great. We have been keeping busy. He has been a great help these last few weeks while my migraines have been bad. I get my next set of Botox injection in a few months. Hoping they work better this time.

Time for bed now!

New

Because our house situation didn't work out,  we moved into my moms house apartment until our loan finishes. Ever since moving in, I feel like my life is at a halt.  It has put me in this sort of sad blegh feeling. It has been a dragging process. We still haven't gotten the good news that I am wanting/needing, but I guess I am lucky to have a place to live. I am lucky to wake up to my sweet baby Logan who is growing to fast, and my beautiful baby Blaire who is almost not a baby. I can not believe how fast these two have grown. Logan, he can have a full on conversation with me. He says his ABC's, he always points out letters on signs out the window, he can count to ten and up, knows every color, all the shapes. Fully potty trained. I just can not believe he has grown this fast in three years. Blaire is sprouting like I can not believe. She is furniture surfing, climbing every thing, talking, copying us, LOVES Logan, like she can not get enough of him. She cries when he leaves the room, it is the sweetest thing.

I am hoping we will get our loan finished soon so I can move on with our life. It is such a hassle and really messes with your emotions.

Logans surgery went well. Every thing is fixed and he is as good as new. He turns three in two months. We are planning a super hero party at the bowling alley.

Blaire will be one in two months. It just went by way to fast. Having my babies growing up makes me wonder if I am really done having kids. Maybe it is just because everyone around me is having kids, but the thought is in my head.

Good news! Karlee and Austin are pregnant after trying for 9 months. I could not be happier for
 them.

My photography is doing better than ever before. I started a little in home studio for newborns and children. I love begin able to do location and indoor photos. Rory surprised me on Valentines with the external flash I have been wanting. I have been booking 3-4 shoots a month. It is nice to have something to keep me busy while we wait on our loan. 

I think I may have developed a sleep disorder. I can never sleep at night anymore! It is making me bonkers!

Here are a few recents we did of my sweet babies in my little studio!


Well, off to play games. Good night world!

Take off

I decided that this year I am going to put all of my efforts into getting my photography going. It has already paid off. Just this month I have had three photo shoots, and two more to go! I got the amazing opportunity to shoot a baby who is in the NICU. He was born 5 1/2 weeks early and has been having some trouble thriving. He was just the sweetest thing. The photos turned out amazing and I have gotten so much feed back from them.

Blaire sprouted 2 more teeth. She now has 4 teeth! She had her first dentist appointment last week. Her and Logan went in for a check up. They both did so great! We made Logan a deal that if he was good at the dentist, we would buy him a fish. He chose a blue and red Beta fish.

Logan ended up having a cracked tooth that was exposed. Because he previously had Enamel Displasia, they will have to put a filling on it so it doesn't disintegrate. I am not looking forward to it. It makes me so sad and scared putting him under anesthetics. I know he will come out like a champ, like usual!

He had his first friend sleep over last week. His cousin Luke stayed the night and we all had a blast. We built tents and watched super hero movies all night. He did so good!

Blaire is a chatter box. She can clap, wave, go crazy, she says "whats that?", loves eating every thing she can  find :) She has grown so much. It breaks my heart. She pulls her self to stand on everything. She will be walking in no time.

I am doing a couple shoot today down town. I better go get ready :)

Birthday week and Logans fifth tooth!

Yipee! Logan has five teeth now! With another on the way. He is the master at crawling and sitting up and is now saying mama and dada. He is so sweet. Loves giving fives, dancing, clapping, making messes :), bonks, and lots more! His favorite song is heres to the night by eve six and Artist in the Ambulance by THrice. He is such a genious baby! Also, I turned 19 this week. Hooray! I had a great birthday! We are going to Tepenyaki tonight with some friends for dinner, and Rory went and bought me a new outfit. I weigh 108 now. Yay! Such a big accomplishment! We went and saw Rorys cousin for the first time in two years at the airport today. He returned from his mission in California. It was nice to see him! He was so suprised with how much weight I lost.

Busy Month! Logan is now five months!

Logan is now five months old. He can sit up, roll from back to stomach and stomach to back, dance, play bonk :) walk with our support and he now has three teeth! Yes 3! He is so smart. We are so proud of Logan! We are also so proud of our selves.
