These were from a couple days after Christmas.  I have a ton more to post later.  The other little boy in the pics is Malakai’s cousin, Weston.  They had fun playing together despite the fact that Kai didn’t want to share any of his toys and he thought Weston’s toys were all his as well.  He wouldn’t even let Weston get near his toys….if he was crawling towards something that Malakai didn’t want him to get, he would scream and run over and pop him on top of the head….yeah, we’re working on that. Poor Weston…..

These were all taken with our little digital camera so excuse the red-eye and blurriness in several…

Christen and Tim’s wedding was so beautiful and simple.  Both of them are so layed back and easy-going and the whole thing seemed to flow so perfectly.  Christen is Hunter’s sister and Hunter is married to Meredith, who is my long-time friend since the 5th grade.  Some of you may remember seeing Meredith and Hunter’s wedding pictures from Colorado some time ago.  Christen has a very large family…4 brothers and 3 sisters, so 8 kids in all.  I loved the picture of her with all of her brothers.  Here are the favorites….

I shot Kelly and Johnathan’s pics the day Kai and I left to go to Kansas.  The shoot was in Plano at 8:30 in the morning—or was it 9:00? I can’t remember, however, I do remember the temperature was an excruciating 24 degrees!!! I can honestly say that I can’t remember the last time I was that cold.  My fingers were numb so I could hardly tell if I was pressing my shutter button down hard enough at times! It was bitter.  We were pretty quick with the shoot, but managed to get just as many shots and poor Kelly and John were in much less clothes than I was.  They were troopers though…..I think they just got numb and couldn’t feel anything at all towards the end.  It took me quite a while to thaw out once I got back into my car.  Brrrrrrrrrrrrr.   Here are the favorites…..

BOY!! Whoooohoooooo!!!!! Yes, definitely a boy.  We did the early sono at 13 1/2 weeks and found out that Kai will be getting a baby brother.  We are super excited and a little relieved that we won’t have to buy a whole bunch of girl stuff.  I feel totally prepared for another boy.  We seriously thought for sure it was a girl though b/c this pregnancy has been a lot different…..but my motherly instinct on this one was completely wrong!!! : )

Things are finally seeming to settle down again after the holidays.  Man, I felt like I was in a whirlwind there for a while.  It is seriously not fun to be sick and pregnant while having a toddler to take care of and a business to run.  Thankfully, I am feeling MUCH better and having much more energy now.  I am 15 weeks along, so into my second trimester, which is a good thing for sure!  I have a ton of pictures to post of Christmas and our little tractor-obsessed 19-month old.  I seriously don’t think there is a child in the world that is more obsessed with tractors than my son is.  We keep thinking it will eventually go away, but his obsession continues to grow and grow.  He doesn’t watch normal kid cartoons….nope….he watches tractor videos on YouTube and the promo video for the “All new 9030 series John Deere Tractor” on the John Deere website.  We have 2 tractor videos for like 12 year olds, tractor socks, shirts, signs for the wall, lunch boxes, hundreds of tractor toys, a tractor blanket….the list goes on and on.  I promise you, this child says the word “tractor” 500 times a day.  One day I’m going to count how many times in one day he says it and I”m putting it in his baby book.  He knows the difference between bulldozers, diggers, scrapers, excavators, concrete mixers, car transporters, mini loaders, tractors, brush rigs, and more….seriously scary that so do I!

OK, so enough about tractors…..I’m going to post all those pics later, but for now, Kelly and Jonathan’s engagement pics are coming up!
