So most of you probably know that I am a photographer ( Sons&Daughters Photography ) and since I did stop a few months back (missed just being a mom and wife) so I have been excited to do Matthans photos and stocking up on special props and hats for him.

Enjoy!

Im baaaaaaack

Okay so Im back. Its been far far far too long. I got way caught up in photography for a while and had 5 weddings over the summer. It was way too much and I got burnt out.

I quit.

Well.... Im taking a break. I have many reasons for this and feel its best for me and my family now.

With that being said. I have some pretty excited news. A LOT has happened since June. And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT.

June was absolutely crazy.

First, Steve went out on his own with his drywall business so that was very stressful and put us in some debt but we knew it was a sacrifice that would be worth it in the end.

Then, June 10th I found out some very very very exciting news:

If you know us well, youd know we've always wanted a large family and to have all our kids close together. I remember after Levi was born I said "Itd be ideal to wait until he's 6 months but I definitely want to get pregnant before he's 9 months".

HA.

God must have had different plans.

So 26 months after having Levi, I found out I was pregnant with our Little Bean [due 2.21.12] and we are beyond excited.

So, not even a week later, the guy upstairs flooded his condo (at 11pm at night) and destroyed most of our ceiling in the kitchen, living room and bathroom. We were moved out within 3 days and were homeless for a short time before finding our new awesome condo. Its a working progress but Ill add more photos of that later.

So anyways, those three things happened in June and it was a lot. We have questioned Gods timing and wondered why but we know He has a great plan and we cant wait to meet our new baby.

Mothers Day

I love Mother's Day and I was very blessed.

First, DH got up early and served me breakfast in bed and then when I got ready I came upstairs to a nice card, boquet of flowers and a cute little bird hous with paints! My hubby is so creative. He said he wanted to make it a tradition to make bird houses in the spring and then be able to watch the birds eat through out the summer and as our kids get older they can pick out their own. Anyways, it was a super cute idea.

AND THEN...... Levi starts pushing a rather large present into the living room......

AND IT WAS A YUDU!!!!!!

I have been wanting a YuDu forever and I am so excited to use it! For those who dont know what it is, it is a very nice screen printing machine!
And the gifts didnt stop there:
We also went and picked out a very nice video camera
AND
he said he would take me this week to get a consultation on a tattoo!!!


I am very very excited

Me and Levi and My Mom and Gabriel

It was the PERFECT day for a walk! My mom and I (with Levi on my back of course) walked and our husbands and little brother went on a bike ride

Hope all you moms had a wonderful Mother's Day!

I told my husband that really it's Mother's Year! I deserve to be celebrated every day. He thought that was pretty funny ;)
