Life Is All Around

Chasye turns 8

In OCtober, Chayse turned 8 years old and was Baptized! It was a realy great day and we were so proud of her. She loves carrying around her new scriptures (and sleeping with her new Hello Kitty blanket :) She is such a cute kid and I can't bvelieve how fast she is growing up!

Oh man, there is nothing cuter to me than the look a little one will give you when they are a little unsure about you , but holding their moms hand. It's so sweet! 

Could little Cubby be a picture perfect angel or what?

So sweet!

Sometimes you just have to let them crawl away! :) Babies sure do have a mind of their own right! I took little Brielle's pictures one year ago and I can't believe how much she has grown. Time does fly!

Just a little preview Em! :)

Oh. My. Gorgeous.

Is Bryn Beautiful or what? I had so much fun photographing her, her little face is a dream!

Brevik

Meeting this little guy was literally meeting an answered prayer. I can't even tell you how happy I am for this mom and dad...

this little boy will be treasured forever.

Both mom and dad still were wearing their hospital bracelets, isn't that sweet?

Hayden

Sweet little Hayden! This was such a fun shoot, and Hayden is the sweetest, tiniest little baby I think I've even photographed!

Just Us

"Remember when it was just us"? We will say with a smile. Remember when we would stay up late and do things like go to dinner AND a movie, just because we could? Sometimes we would sleep in, sometimes we would go away for the weekend. It was so quiet then, when it was just us.

Remember when it was just us.... But just barely? We would think up names and talk about who she was going to look like. We would take walks and count the days and all we could think about was her.

Remember when it was just us? Daddy was at work and we would sleep in together and I would just stare at you and even your little yawn would make me smile with delight. It was a small, quiet house. It was me and you and daddy and I always wondered how our family would unfold. Who would we be?

The Two of us became three, then four, then five... Then six.

Someday me and you, we will sit back and look at what the years turned in to. We will look back with a smile (and a tear or two) and remember the days and laughs and hugs and first words and vacations and recitals and movie nights and carpools and prayers and dinners round the table....

And we will wonder how it became just Us.

One year ago

in a quiet hospital room

in the still hours of the night

a miracle happened

a first breath was taken

a new life began.

My son was born.

And life... will never be the same.

 

Thank You Heavenly Father

for tiny fingers

ten little toes

a smile that can steal any heart,

and a life that will change the world.

 Son I love you with all my heart, you are a blessing that can never be explained with words.

You were meant for me.

Always and Forever,

Mommy
