i just had to post this picture of todd, i love it! i was surprised he let me take it. let's just say the camera isn't his favorite thing. i was so happy with how it turned out. cute guy & i love him!


yesterday todd took baylie in for her 4 yr. old well child check up. i had him take tys too so they could both get flu shots. tyson said that the shot hurt so bad because they got him right in his blood streamers! lol, i was laughing so hard! thanks babe for taking them both in. i know it's not a fun job. the kids didn't understand why we would have them get shots. i was trying to explain that it's to keep them healthy. i don't think they heard any of it. baylie hates the dr! she was excited though because she got her kindergarten shot & she thought that was cool.


another funny from yesterday....baylie had already had a bath & was in her jammies. tys was in the bath & bay wanted to put her feet in. she told me that if i let her put her feet in she would pull up her leg sleeves! i busted out laughing! yeah i guess they could be called leg sleeves huh? i love that little girl & i love the things that my kids say in pure innocence.

happy halloween! i hope everyone has a safe & fun night!

fall pictures

bay picked out this outfit & wanted me to take some pictures of her. so we went out front for a few minutes & captured these cute pictures. i think she is loving seeing herself on the computer. lol! i love her so much & i love her personality. maybe one of these days tys will want some pictures of him, yeah right!

red butte gardens after dark

monday night carrie & i took the kids to red butte gardens after dark. we had a lot of fun. my friend at work gave us free tickets & that was even better. it was fun, but not something i would pay for. they had different things for the kids to do. each kid received a map & had to find all 6 fire barrels & receive a stamp at each one to receive a prize at the end. the kids, especially tyson, were very let down by the prize...a flower bulb! okay i realize we were at red butte gardens, but hello, what kid wants a bulb as a prize. lol!

bay & keey

the girls, baylie & keeley, had dance pictures a couple of weeks ago. we went to a studio, avante, that i'm not happy with, that's another story. anyway, here are some cute pictures of the girls getting their hair & make-up done. i'm so glad they are such good friends. we love you bay & keey!

baylie's photo shoot

so i was having baylie try on her new dance warm ups. she looked so cute! she started posing so i asked her if i could take some pictures. hello little model. she has never been like this for me before, i loved it! all of these poses were done by her. i was just letting her do whatever, maybe that's the key with her. this was the first time i've never told her what to do & she was so happy & fun. man i love this girl. i love these pictures of her!

tag i'm it & now 6 of you are too!

thanks brit! my beautiful, long time friend tagged me & now 6 of you are going to get tagged. sorry, it's how it goes. lol! hey just look at it as a way that we can all learn a little more about each other.



the rules...

each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.

at the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people & posts their names, then goes to their blogs & leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged & asking them to read your blog. have fun!



1. i love being pampered! yes it's true, who doesn't though? i love going to the spa, i love having my hair done, i love having my nails done, however i just filed all of them off! good thing kailey doesn't read this. i especially love the spa at the grand america!



2. i love photography! i love capturing people's personalities & their special moments in my pictures. my brother is an amazing photographer & i hope that some of his talent will rub off on me. :0) i think we have different styles & i think that's fun. i really admire him. i also have a co-worker that has a very talented wife, jessi, and i admire her as well. she is an awesome photographer & is always so giving of her talents. she's a 'friend' i have never met in person.



3. i love fall & i love halloween! i love the decorations, the colors, the cool air, caramel apple cider from starbucks, the list goes on. i love all the fall festivities, especially pumpkin picking. fall is a very happy time for me!



4. i love 80's music!



5. i hate being scared! i freak myself out all of the time. i think i hear something & let things build in my head & it just gets worse. crazy i know.



6. i do not like pot lucks! who knows how clean people are? what if they have pets & what if they are walking on the counters? it just grosses me out. i'm sorry i'm not a fan of animals, i just don't think they are very clean. when i have had babies i will only eat food that is brought to me from people i know really well. i don't mean to snobby, but i just can't do it. just another thing to add the list of crazy things about me. lol!



so i am tagging don's wife, court, jessi, natalie, amy, & denise.

the reception & some way cute families!

wow, troy & rachel get 2 posts! you 2 should feel lucky, lol! here are the reception pictures. i especially love the family pictures & the picture of bay & her grandma!



*please don't be too critical of these pictures & the ones in a previous post. i am not a professional by any means, just a girl that loves to take pictures & is learning along the way!
