* our newest baby *

This is our little Daisy

(in her wee little sweater)

* She is a shitzapoo

* We bought her 3 week before Christmas

* Our kids were overjoyed

* She is now 13 weeks old

* she thinks she is above pooing outside

* luckily its not on the floor

* but items on the floor

* She is so darn cute

* except when she poops on my new purse

* she sleeps in our bathroom downstairs

* in her own wee little bed

* Owen forgets that she is not a stuffed animal

* we hope she lives to be very old

* she thinks its fun to run away from me outside

* she is kinda naughty

* she has a cute face so she gets away with it

* I never thought i'd own an indoor dog

* umm yeah.... i'm one of "those" dog people now

* luckily she doesn't shed

* my kids share/fight over her

* I usually will take her and love her

* I had forgotten what 3 am outside looked like

* she has a small bladder

* she is getting better at holding it in

* she is now my hairy new child

we just love her!!!

My newest little nephews!!!

This is baby Jesse (andrew & trinity's baby)

He is just the cutest little thing---he has the sweetest

little dimples when he smiles :)

We took these about a week after he was

born at their house

(born: Dec 8th)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is baby Jett (dave & joni's baby)

He had a short stay in the NICU for an infection
He is the sweetest little thing with the prettiest eyes :)
We took these on Christmas Day at my Mom's house-

(born: Dec 14th)

These two little stud muffins up the Grankid count to 5
and one on the way (Marky & Dan with another baby boy!)



We had a fantastic Christmas & New Years
I may post some pictures.....
but why lie......I most likely won't
Not because it wasn't fab or anything.....
but out of shear lazyiness :)



Here's to 2010!!!!

*Look who's getting baptized*

This is the front of Bailey bugs baptism invite

I ordered it on pearl paper..so it had a fun shimmer to it ;)

I think it turned out pretty cute.................

I can't believe my baby girl is 8 years old

woowzers... we had so much fun taking her pictures

we found an awesome place up at pine view a couple weeks ago

and it worked out awesome!!!!

More to come...........

*Happy Late B-day little buddy*

I realize that I'm waaaaaaay far from keeping updated

on this blog but I thought I would share some of the few

(and I mean few) that Owen Powen would let me take of him

one Sunday at Grandma Jeans house around his b-day

(which was waaaaay back in Aug)

I can't believe my little boy is 4!!!!!

(this is his "normal smile" for most pictures)

Anyone who knows Owies know that this is "his face"
You just look at him wrong and he's ready to wrestle......
.......use his super ninja skills...............or perhaps take out unsuspecting persons




and yet......







He has one of the sweetest little faces you could ever ask for :)
(insert tear)




He is :

so quick with the best bear hugs
in loooove with Mario Kart WII
so good to share his food
(even candy....with his chubby mom ;)
my best little buddy
a good little brother
(though sometimes a bit crazy....wonder where he gets that....)
the best cuddler around
a good singer and loves primary songs
getting so big
(doesn't need dear old mom as much as he used to)
not a shopper
all about cars and transformers
my clean up and & destroy the house buddy
the sweetest dancer I know






what having a boy is all about !!!!

*** AFTER ALL THIS TIME.......******

***Forever Young***

Wow, wow, and wowzers.....

can you believe sUmMeR is almost over????

We have seriously played like nobodys business

and I have enjoyed every moment of it ;)

This summer I wanted to spend the majority of my time

with the kiddos- no major photo sessions-no running around-

no crazy brittany (well, ok I'm still a bit loony :)

Some things we've done this summer:

camping, lagoon season passes, swimming,

more camping, hiking, lounging, movies, bird aviary,

swimming lessons, bear lake, reading, library, parks,

crafts, wii, bbq's, fireworks, parades, and soo much more :)

Here are just some of many pictures taken this summer

I'm actually leaving for the weekend with my hubby

to

lAs VeGaS

for our 9th wedding anniversary

Crazy, wonderful, exciting

so I thought i would leave you with some pics of

my 2 favorite little people on this earth :)

Some of these were taken with the SLR

& some with the point & shoot ;)

Hopefully, when school starts I'll be better with the blogging
Good luck to me ;)

**M & P ** Wedding

OK, OK so this WEATHER for the WEDDING was serioulsy controlled by

Megon & Patrick because it was so incredibly rainy (way back in June)

and it stopped as soon as they came out of the Temple....just enough to take some

pictures.......then rain some more.....then stop to take some pics of the reception...

then rain, rain, rain some more......then stop as they leave for the night in their limo :)

Soooo incredible---they were truly being watched over :)

**also I could have chosen a million different ones to post

(these two are just so darn photogenic)

these are what I decided on........................

I'm pretty sure this may be my favorite ring shot ever!!!

So I officially love this couple

not only was there fam super cool but

they were so fantastic to work with :)

(one day...when you have some super cute babies

.....you better let me know :) hehehe)
