Photo Shoot

On Saturday I did a photo shoot for my friend's Brandi and Gabe. I wanted the practice and they needed family pictures. I love shooting at this place there are so many different backgrounds and it is beautiful there. So here are some of the pictures, they are not edited or touched up at all:

Georgia's Pretend Haircut

I took the boys the other day to get their hair cut and sweet little Georgia wanted hers cut too. Obviously she doesn't have enough hair to cut yet but the nice lady let Georgia climb up into the chair and gave her a pretend haircut. Georgia loved it. She got her hair styled into a fauxhawk! Georgia is all girl!

Georgia's Birthday

I'm a little behind, ok a lot behind, on blogging. That's because I've had some big changes in my life. First of all Georgia turned 2 on September 14th! I can't believe how fast time flies by. Here are some pictures of her birthday party. She loves Mickey Mouse clubhouse so I made her a Mickey Mouse outfit and birthday cake and we decorated with Mickey Mouse colors, she loved it! First we started the day out with Mickey Mouse pancakes:

Can't have a party with out all the fun decorations, right?
GG in her Mickey Mouse Birthday outfit, she loved it!Georgia's Birthday cake:This is Kylee helping Georgia blow out her candles!
And here is the princess eating her cake:Linda H. and her kids Matthew, Kylee and Caleb came to the party. Brandi G. and her kids Tavener, Mallory, Kieffer, and Marren were there also. What would I do without great friends! I love them! I'd rather have a few good friends than lots of casual friends!

My Birthday was September 11th! What a great day, huh? All summer long I've been wanting to take Georgia to the zoo but haven't had a chance. So I decided for my Birthday that is what we would do. She loved the animals and had a lot of fun.

Our week in review

Here is our week in review. I feel like we still have a lot to squeeze in before school starts up again. Today was a rough day. To relieve a little stress we decided to go 4 wheeling behind our house and shoot the air soft guns. It started to rain on us shortly after we got there. So we loaded back up into the truck drove around a bit and found another place to stop and shoot. Conner and Dallin got to sit in my lap and steer.
Here is Conner shooting at the red bag on the fence.

Me shooting:Dallin having a blast!

We have passes to seven peaks but it is so far and the boys end up playing in the wave pool the whole time. Next year I think we will keep our tradition of going to the Military pool weekly. Here are the boys playing in the military pool, don't they look so happy?
Georgia had so much fun jumping into the water over and over. She totally trusts Conner to catch her. He is such a good big brother.
My precious Conner!
Me trying to tan.
I am looking old!
Sweet Dallin.
Dallin again with his cute face!
Conner doing a cannon ball!
Georgia loved just sitting on the step and playing around.
Georgia actually sat still for her friend Rusha to paint her nails silver.
Conner and Dallin got to go to Cub Scout Day Camp this year. This is Dallin's first year going.
Georgia decided to make herself comfortable in the bins.
She had me unstack them and was pushing them all around the house for hours.
This wasn't even all of them.
Conner decided to make a fort from this scrap wood we had. He worked super hard all day long building this for. He did a great job!

Fourth of July

The kids and I had a great 4th of July! We went over to Tony and Megan Roberts for some yummy food and illegal fireworks, like we do every year!
On the 3rd, we decided to have our own little family party. By Conner and Dallin's request we started out with one of their favorite's: Mini Quiche!

By my request, I decided to give them haircuts. I don't know if this was a good idea or not. Dallin got a trim and Conner wanted his short.
Dallin's before & after:





























Conner's before and after:















We didn't do anything with Georgia's hair. We are waiting for her to get some first. She has a tiny curl in the very back. I could probably give her a mohawk down the back!
While it was still light outside we took some pictures. I am counting this as my Project 4/52. Here is Dallin:
Here are all three of my precious children:
Georgia trying to be like big brothers, but couldn't quit coordinate laying down and putting her hands under her chin, but she tried!
Them again, Dallin (8), Georgia (22 months), and Conner (10).

Here is our small stash of fireworks! We spent $10, the Roberts spent $400!Conner lighting the firework!
Dallin's turn!
Here is our family's mini firework show with the children in the back watching.
Oh and of course I can't forget to put in a picture of my fun 4th of July decorations that are hanging over my dining room table. I love them, aren't they fun!

I haven't been much into big holiday celebrations the last few years because it is a lot of work. James is always gone so I get to do it all. What I've learned though is that it's not what you do it's who you do it with. I had a "blast" this year with the ones I love more than anything else, my children. And this is what creates memories. Happy Fourth!
