Natalie Shananagans.

How do you even spell shananagans?? Anyway, Natalie is a big fan of her tutu that we picked up for her. She wants to wear it all the time and when we put it on her she twirls and twirls.

And she likes to chase the kitty next door. Kitty, she just wants to love you!

A tutu is a must before going for a drive!

Then she spotted her most favorite animal...

It's Shady!

Kisses!

JR actually let me take his picture!

And smiled!

Handsome!

It's a Boy...a Girl...and another Girl!

Congrats to Steph and Darron! Maddox was born Saturday. You'll remember Steph from her maternity photos I did in August.

Congrats to Jamie & Troy, good friends of JR and I they had their second kiddo, Whitney Marie on the 13th!

And another Congrats to Victoria & Shlomo (forgive me if I messed the spelling up!) on their third child, Zipporah. Victoria is Natalie's daycare provider. Seeing tiny Zipporah makes me think it was never possible that Natalie was that small!

Yup, there's going to be a lot of first birthdays for us to attend next September! lol.

Dennis/Roth Sneak Peek!

Baby Berlyn came over for a photo shoot on Saturday. I've known her mom Sarah for along time, almost as long as I've been in Idaho so for 7 or 8 years now. Sarah is a wonderful friend who I love to death so it was so nice to get my hands and camera lens on her beautiful little girl. What a champ she was too for just shy of 3 months!





Grandma came along for a shot of the 3 generations of beautiful girls!

Big Nasty 2007

JR, Keegan, Stashia and I all went to the Big Nasty Hill Climb today. It was nice that they held it a little later in the year then last year. Last year when we went in JULY it was way too damn hot out. September is a much better time of the year.

Poor Sweet Baby!

Natalie has been loving to play "Ring Around the Rosie" except she sometimes likes to keep spinning and spinning. This evening she spun so much she got dizzy, lost her balance and nailed the kitchen table chair leg. Now she's the owner of a bruised, huge goose egg on her forehead. It looks so painful! Her first really bad ouchie...yes, the thought of taking her to the hospital may or may not have crossed my mind at one point...but that sucker is huge!

Here's one from yesterday enjoying some peanut butter...she learned this trick from her daddy...I'm sure of it! :)

Happy Birthday Lillian!

Lillian just turned 2! Her mom asked if I could do the photo invites for her. I did 3 variations. This is the winner! Picked directly from the pointer finger of Lillian. Isn't she a doll!

Celebrate Susan!

I need to start putting some of the design work that I do in this blog also, so here is an invite I just did for a client who is throwing a 60th birthday party for her mother in law. She wanted something floral, but fresh in plum, lime green & white.

Goodbye old friend.

We had to put Chance to sleep today. I miss him so much...

Here Kitty!

Had to show this off also. I ordered Natalie's Halloween costume this weekend. She LOVES "titty tats" so how could I go with anything other then a kitty!

Can't wait for it to get here, she will make an adorable little kitty. I think I'll sew a pink ribbon between the ears also.

So funny!

So yesterday while the little tyrant was taking a nap, JR nodded off on the couch. Natalie woke up and I brought her downstairs to play. JR was still sleeping peacfully...perfect Natalie prey. At first she ignored him to shove a few goldfish in her mouth and suck down some water. Once she was hydrated, she turned and looked at her daddy sleeping so nicely. I watched closely wondering what she was up to. A small smirk appeared on her face. She walked over to JR, leaned in so she was inches from his face, still smirking ear to ear she then yelled "ROOAAARRRRRRR." OMG! I have never seen JR jump so much in his life. It was absolutly great! Natalie was laughing and I was dying with laughter...she is so my daughter. :)

Such a girl!

Natalie loves pretty things and high heels are no exception!

JR finally hung up Natalie's growth chart...she's just barely tall enough for her first mark! What a big girl! Daddy snapped some shots to remember the "event".



And a picture to show the love Natalie has for socks...she doesn't even care that daddy's sock are filthy! Yuck!

An update on Chance, he's still hanging in there pretty well. Still moving around and eating...although a lot slower. I've stocked up on yummy doggie treats and I'm spoiling him rotten.
