Just playing around.....

I decided to play around today with some settings on my camera. I used my now 1 yr. old as my little model in her Halloween costume and in a tutu she got as a gift for her birthday. I was pretty pleased with how they turned out. Charlize on the other hand was getting tired of me taking her picture. She also didn't like how the tutu didn't let her move! :) She was stuck and mom was taking pictures! :P Oh well.....


Just a few from today....

Happy 1st Birthday Charlize Peyton!!!

I can't believe it. A year has passed. My sweet sweet baby girl is one today!

Time really does fly when you have children. One year ago today I was in labor with my third child. It was a rainy day. It was cold but none of that matter because we were going to meet our daughter that day. It was just days before we would celebrate Thanksgiving that year. Troy and I drove to the hospital where I would be induced at 5:00 a.m. They had me do all kinds of walking to help labor progress before my water broke. Once my water broke I was in the bed for the duration of my labor. It seemed to go pretty fast. Troy and my mom were great moral support and kept me in check when I thought I couldn't do it anymore. My nurses and doctors were worried that I may deliver before my doctor could get back over to the hopspital because of my history. When I was complete with Jaxon he came before the doctor could arrive. The nurses delivered him. Gabrielle was my 1st child and the doctor almost didn't make it back from him office that morning to deliver her. So I tend to have very quick births after I am completely dialated. :) The tough part is getting there.


At 3:58 p.m. they handed me my beautiful baby girl. She was perfect. She looked like her big brother the day he was born. I couldn't believe it after nine months of wondering what she would look like she was here. She was 7lbs. 8oz. and 20 1/4 inches long. My biggest baby yet. The nurses began cleaning her up so her big sister and big brother could finally meet there long awaited sibling. They were in awe. Gabrielle couldn't get enough of her. Jaxon wasn't sure about her.






Fast Forward to today. She's one. Her brother and sister are still chasing her around and begging to hold her. I try to explain that she's almost as big as they are but they don't seem to care and neither does she. They can hold her and carry her around all day and she is happier than ever. She has done so much growing over the last year.


She has 6 teeth. She is saying mom, dad, bye, hi, yes, no and believe it or not she has even said Boobah. My grandmas name is Buelah and Gabrielle couldn't say it when she was little she would say Boobah...so it stuck. All the little ones call her Boobah now. She is taking steps now. She'll take 6 or 7 and she's done. She is not overly excited about walking it's faster to crawl. I also think it's because she is sooo tall. Her center of balance is higher so making it harder for her to get steady. But she is doing it. She's a daddy's girl for sure. She also loves my mom. She actually took a fit for my mom instead of me!! And oh, SHE HAS A TEMPER!! This girl is stubborn and hard headed. It's so fun watching them develop into the person they will be....

I finally got a chance to do a photo shoot with a sweet little baby girl. She was just a doll so tiny and perfect. She was wide awake the whole time and very content. I enjoyed working with her and her family. Hopefully we'll have the chance again soon! She was a pleasure to work with and I would love the chance again.


I really hope you enjoyed yourselves. I hope you enjoy the pictures even more!!

A November Wedding.....

We went to the wedding of some family friends about a week ago. It was gorgeous. Fall weddings are gorgeous. The bride was beautiful as was the wedding party. I loved all the dresses. My neices were the flower girls and they were just adorable. :) The brides dress was so elegant. Their reception was decorated so elegantly and very very romantic.


I got several pictures of all the kids dressed up and a few others of the bride and her ride. :)
