I am taking a break from photography for the next 4 or 5 months or so...
I just have too much going on and something has to go:)

I can't really go a day without taking pics of my kids...so I'll still post pics of them on occasion.
But other than that, I'll see you this spring:)

3 little girls

2011-12-06T14:10:00.001-07:00

grateful day #30!!

2011-11-30T15:27:00.001-07:00

Today is the last day of November.
For my last grateful a day post I am posting pics (and lots of them)
of my 3.
I am so SO grateful for these girls.

I wanted to get some shots with them wearing the clothes I made.
So I bought a couple of balloons.
And drove to an empty parking lot.
And told them to go have fun.
These are my favorite kinds of shots.
And this is why I love photographing my kids.
Just looking at them makes me so so happy.

2011-09-10T16:08:00.002-06:00

here are a couple pics of one of the cutest girls i know:)

i remember holding her in the hospital the day she was born.
these kids just grow up too fast:)

she's 3

2011-09-09T14:13:00.001-06:00

she is growing up before my eyes....

but she still likes her blanky and her thumb....

i feel so bad for her sometimes... her 2 big sisters play together so well and leave her out. so she follows me around all day asking me to play with her. sometimes it makes me a little crazy. a few weeks ago i took a parenting class and saw a graph of when kids love to be with their parents, and how it changes to the kids NOT wanting to be around their parents at all.
it reminded me of how special these days are.
now I try not to let it make me crazy.
and i sit and i play with her.
i love her:)
just look at this face. how could i not??

Fall Mini's

2011-09-07T15:09:00.001-06:00

I'm not sure about you, but this school year has been an adjustment! Big sis has all day school. Maybe it's harder on me than it is her... But I feel like she is gone so long! She comes home so tired. I don't like not knowing if she eats all of her lunch. Her teacher spends more time with her than I do!

And then middle sis keeps saying that she doesn't like her new preschool. She loved it last year and never complained. I don't like sending her off to a place that she doesn't like! We'll see if it gets better.

I signed baby sis up for preschool last minute.... cuz she's potty trained!!! I'm so proud of her. It only took one day to get the hang of it! She really impressed her dad and me:)

I really don't know how anyone has more than 3 kids. Keeping all of their schedules straight is no small task! With different preschool days and times, early release days, soccer practices and games, different dance classes on different days and times.... and it goes on. I love it but man if I didn't have a calendar I don't think I would make it!

But, anyways, enough complaining. I took this shot a couple weeks ago. I told them to look grumpy. They have the grumpy look down:) I tried to get all 3 together but that just wasn't going to happen. So here are the older 2.

Father's Day

2011-06-14T09:03:00.005-06:00

Happy Father's Day (soon) to my kid's daddy...

and to my dad~

i took these a couple of weekends ago when we met my dad at the place my mom was buried.

I remember sitting with my mom across the street from this spot just a little while before she passed away. Everyone had gone to bed and she and I sat at the picnic table really late. It was a conversation I think about a lot and I'm so grateful she was able to tell me (through typing) that she was ready to move on. She had accepted it and she was at peace with it. She was so amazing and I miss her so much. She loved this area and wanted us to meet there often. It was so fun to go back to the same spot and spend the weekend with my dad. I hope we can go again soon:)

cute little guy

2011-06-09T13:38:00.005-06:00

Mother's Day

2011-05-09T22:07:00.002-06:00

My first Mother's Day passed by without my mother.

What can I say? It was hard.

But not harder than any other day that passes by.

I miss her so much I cannot even stand it.

I was going to make a little video of her.

But it was too hard.

One day I will.

Here is a pic my friend took of me with my girls.

I like it even tho I could say a hundred things I don't like about how I look in it.

But why would I do that? It's me with my girls right now.

I love being a mom. It's harder than I ever imagined.

But It's also better in every way.

I am so blessed:)

I also wanna thank my hubby. I love him so much.

He knew this weekend would be tough so he took us all to Disneyland.

The happiest place on earth.

We had a blast. We didn't know it but they had the premiere for the new Pirates movie.

So we saw lots of famous people. That's always fun:)

And that's all I have to say about that:P

beautiful kids

2011-04-21T23:36:00.002-06:00

these are the kids of a girl i knew in high school. we found each other on fb. i saw that she had little baby chickens. i wanted little baby chickens for a shoot. so i asked her if she wanted to do a little trade. she did.

we had not seen each other in 18 yrs., in Texas. Last year i found her on fb, and she lived 15 minutes from me. And then one day last week she was at my house with a box full of chickens. i love fb.

little did i know that i was going to meet the boy who would one day marry one of my daughters. look at this kid.

and you know he's going to be VERY understanding of girls. He's the lucky brother of 3 girls:))

thank you SO much for letting me borrow your little chicks. We all fell in love with them. And now i cannot eat chicken without thinking of them.
