I'm done... for now...

I finished my May-mester in Government with an 'A'! WOOT! My wonderful mother came down from California to be with the girls while I was in school everyday for three weeks. They love being with 'Grandma Deb' (most days) :) I naively wanted to do crafts, sewing projects, organizing, etc. while she was here and wouldn't you know it? I didn't have time. Pooh. The bright side? I get to go back to California with my mom to go to a friends wedding. And I get to see my favorite twin sister! DOUBLE WOOT! I have been taking a lot of pictures and making my portfolio more versatile. But I think I have surpassed my camera. I love Cory for surprising me with it for Christmas but I already want a new one. It's not my fault I fell in love! I LOVE taking pictures. Especially of my beautiful daughters. I want the Canon 5d more than oxygen right now but I think Cory will make me wait until I graduate. I think we both know that's not gonna happen.....

Oh but this is my first want/ need.

Would any wealthy, lovely friends want to invest in me as a photographer?? Free pictures for life! Really. I'm serious. FREE! FOR LIFE!

Here are some pictures I have done lately.

Daddy (Cory) and Emery

I love it all.

Happy Birthday Emery!

Happy 2nd Birthday to my second born, sweet, gorgeous daughter. I remember the day you were born like it was yesterday, because it feels like just yesterday! You sure were in a hurry to get here. Four hours from my first contraction you came out kicking and screaming. 8lbs. 10 oz. of beauty and spunk. You gave us a scare when you went into the NICU with a heart murmur and low oxygen sats but everything ended up perfect. Hali was so excited to see you! Right after you were born she came in with Daddy and knew you immediately! You were destined to be sisters and best friends. You were the best baby and always patient with Hali. Now that you are a big 2 year old your personality has really come out! You love to sing, talk, and read to yourself when you think no one is looking. And you play all day long with your sister. You talk all the time and you love watching movies and shows. You are also very dramatic, more than Hali was, for sure! Your beautiful blue eyes are wide with wonder and we can't wait to see what life has in store for you! We love you so much sweetheart!!! Happy Birthday!
Love, Mommy, Daddy, and Hali

Kisses

I could kiss my girls cheeks all day long..... and I do. Especially Emery's. Not only because she has the chubby baby cheeks still, but because she is usually the one that lets me. But when Hali does, I take advantage! Like today. I have been kissing and hugging them all morning. Grabbing their little faces and smothering them with love. I can't get enough. Today, I am happy. I am grateful. I am healthy and able to care for my children and live my life. Heavenly Father must have known that I needed an extra boost today. :) He loves me. And He loves you too.

See what I mean? Look at those cheeks! And lips! :)
Love it
