Beautiful Teen (Draper Alta Senior)

My Silly Girl

I found this hat at the grocery store for $5, way cheaper than all the boutiques.

I told her I got her a hat this morning while I was getting her dressed

and she was so excited, she has actually been keeping it on.

She's copying Lyndon with the silly cheek face, too cute!

Update: Gordon does not exactly like the last pic because he thinks she has attitude, but I just love documenting her beautiful full cheeks and lips. It's a way more serious face than we usually get from her but for some reason it's perfect to me :)

Back in the swing of things

It is so good to be taking photos of people again. I am just doing stuff for friends and family until our life slows down a bit, but it does make me happy.

This sweet couple was suppose to do their engagements next weekend but we did them last minute because she is getting temporary paralysis on one side of her face and we don't know how long it will last.

I am sure it will be fine in time for bridals and we may even do another shoot where she can actually smile at the camera. I think these are precious though!

Love New Bedding

Gordon washed our bedspread and the batting all bunched up in the bottom (I don't know why, all the time I washed it it was fine) but we never had a complete bedding set anyway so I was very excited to head out to Target, after the kids went down (shopping without kids is bliss,) and pick out this...

Don't you just love my models!

This is the first time we have had king size pillows on our king size bed (for some reason I could never bring myself to spend the extra $4-5) but it makes a big difference. Love it!
Oh, and this is out first time having a head or footboard. We really feel like adults now... how old are we? Ya, I guess we can start acting like adults :)

Easter

We had uhhh, well, interesting Easter this year.

Utah has not gotten the memo that it is Spring yet, I was terribly ill with a stomach bug and we had plans to go to Park City for their egg hunt with my sister but she also got sick and had to go to the hospital early that morning!

So, ya it was crazy. But Gordon came through and scrambled to put this together and I made him put the kids in their "Easter Clothes" so I could take pics. I don't think they knew anything of the crazy ordeal :)

Oh, and this is our basement incase you are wondering... we are still renting and the landlord just finished it recently. Don't ask me where he got the weird carpet from, it's heavy duty commercial stuff, but the kids love running around down there.
