bleh

remember the metal brad up the nose incident?!?

apparently this kid didn't learn his lesson the first time. except this time i don't think it was a brad. honestly i don't know WHAT he stuck up there, but this is how i found him after he'd already sneezed it out!

KIDS ARE FUN!

goings on...

so... i feel like i say this all the time, but things have been CRAZY busy around here.

this month has been full of planning & throwing bridal showers and baby showers, weddings, lots of appointments, help with school work, church callings, and lots of fun news!

first, i had the chance to shoot my first wedding this month! i'm definitely not a professional by any means, but it was fun to do and i'm proud of the work i did!








next, tom's sister, rachel, gave birth 7 weeks early to a perfect little boy, gavin. after a bit of a stay in the hospital he's now home and doing great!

also, tom's sister, jenny, married her longtime love, austin, last monday and it was a beautiful day! unfortunately tom and i were so dang busy wrangling the 4 kids that i wasn't able to take too many pics!









and finally a BIG CONGRATS needs to go out to our friends jenn & sean! they were expecting a baby girl last week and were surprised with an adorable baby BOY instead! it made for an interesting shower on saturday! luckily i had a lot of yellow incorporated into the colors so we swapped out all the pink for mint green!

promise i'll be better at updating!

last weekend i got to help throw a bridal shower for my sister-in-law, jenny, and decided to go with the "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" theme.

i had a lot of fun planning it and we had a great turnout (despite it being crazy hot & windy!)

thanks to everyone that helped with food, games, etc. and a BIG "thank you" to my blogging friend, chelsea, who made the awesome doily banner! she did an amazing job and it turned out EXACTLY how i envisioned it!

i originally had the food table outside, but due to the weather i ended up taking it inside...

jenny was able to snap a couple of pictures for me among the madness! enjoy!












stay tuned for pics of the wedding! miss & elli are flower girls and sawyer is a ring bearer. wish us luck with that!

silhouettes

i know, i know.

silhouettes are super trend-alicious right now; but i still LOVE them and whipped these up the other day!

aren't they fun?

kid pics!

tom and i had a some twin baby blessings in sandy to go to and there's a pawn shop on state street that's painted a super fun yellow, so i grabbed my camera and snapped some pictures of the kiddos on our way over to the blessing.

i can't wait to frame them and put them in the basement!

{and yes, believe it or not, this was the best shot of all four of them together!}
