2011 so far..........

This year started out with much excitement! I celebrated my 32nd birthday and then went off to Vegas for a week of "photography fun"! Stockton and I hopped onto a plane and went and played with Nana and Papa..... well Stock did I went to a bunch of classes and hung out at the convention!

WHile I was gone Terry called and said...."I think Paige has the Chicken Pox!" Of course, my response was WHAT!!! Why when I'm gone? He sent me some photos of her and after looking at them I knew it wasn't the Pox. He, of course, disagreed. I KNEW those weren't spots and something just kept telling me they're not. So after a few "tiffs" he finally took her in and guess what.......... NOT THE CHICKEN POX!!!! LOL! A mother knows :) She had "Fifths disease". It's a really bad rash and spreads pretty quick. There's nothing to do but to let it pass and the kids are in no pain. CRAZY! She looked real bad but after a week she was back to normal.

Then, the end of February, we were talking to our closest friends about buying some land to build someday. No biggie. We then heard from our friends that some new houses were being built a street over from us. We were not really ready to buy but we thought HEY we'll go look. Well....... that was it!!! The houses were a STEAL and of course, my dear sweet hubbs couldn't pass it up. So we bought! Eeeeeek! It was fast! Our friends bought too.... right next door to us again! Lol! Our house sold without it even being listed and sold to the first people that looked and sold in an HOUR!! Freak! We packed up and moved into my in-laws in the middle of March!

Living with my father-in-law was pretty neat. It was nice to visit with him at night and fun to have him around with the kids. Our house was complete May 19th! I love it!! It's a 2 story beautiful home that our family can live in forever! We better because I'm not moving again! I have a studio here and that's one of the best parts! Earlier in the year I decided to specialize a focus on Newborn photography. I just LOVE the babies and with having a studio at home it makes it so much easier for me.

I left for Vegas for a month with the kids in June and part of July. We had fun. It was HOT! I forget how hot it really gets there. It was hard being away from Terry that long tho. It's hard to have family THAT far.

Photography keeps me pretty busy! Having people come into my home is such a blessing. I feel so blessed to have such amazing clients. Focusing more on Newborns has been the best decision I've made. With not being able to have anymore children, it's helped me fill that void a little more and I love it!

Paige started first grade! She turned 6 in August. Holy heck! SHe's so big! But so tiny :) She's having a little bit of a hard time adjusting but I think she'll do great! She loves her Barbies and is so smart. She's my girl! Ty turned 4 and he's my little hero! He's my buddy. I swear that kid would fight anyone who would try to hurt me. He's darling! Stockton......... what to say about him?!! OMG! He is my busy one. He's my last and he's making a statement to show it! he loves to climb, throw beautiful fits and hates trips in the car! Yep, he's different BUT is freaking cute!!! He doesn't say much but can put on a show when you're lucky!

Life is crazy and that's how I like it.... sometimes ;)
