Pictures taking by Justin

This was all after the meltdown....:) I had to give Jdawg a logo since he was so proud of his awesomness. ugg I miss my belly 3 weeks ago, I dont know what happened this month but I am 10 lbs heavier and dont have the cute basketball belly look. sad.

The rest of the story

Halloween Day....

La La doing a self portrait while I stressed about pictures :) She had the best front butt I've ever seen I couldn't stop laughing at her.

Halloween is like my Christmas

I couldn't sleep last night I have been so excited for today...I love Halloween, it is better then Cmas! This yr luckily everything just seemed to come together, I found Kases suit and pants at DI and paid 15 bucks for them...Macies wig Justin brought back from a Halloween store in Texas, her dress was last yrs Starwars costume all cut up...It worked out pretty great except that our Mad scientist isnt here...he had to go back to Texas again ...boo.

I am getting more pictures with me dressed up too but I wanted to post some for our missing character...love you babe, wish you were here to enjoy this too (and to hang our cool black Chandelier-hehe)

The day I had a meltdown....

WHY?? Why are pictures so hard? Why can't everyone cooperate for just one...ok a couple...ok some decent pictures? and why am I the only one that has the motivation to capture fleeting moments like my pregnancy? I'm not going to be preggo again, I am not going to have this chance again and THIS is the one thing that is soo sooo sooo important to me. I dint have 3 hrs to get everyone ready, I am tired of wearing make up, I'm sick of everyone fighting and complaining. I just want to go to my room and cry myself to sleep. WHY cant anyone see that and WHY cant everyone just do what they are asked, be helpful and get pictures done.

This was what I was saying bawling my eyes out after the 3rd attempt for belly pictures ended in one or two OK shots. I cried straight for an hour and I think everyone finally understood, especially Justin.

Then when we were all on the same page, Justin captured this...

Lil' Miss Famous

Macie was asked to do a commercial for a local expo, she was so hilarious. Every one was worried if they gave her the turkey leg she wouldn't eat but she went to town! They had to tell her to stop :) Yep that is Macie, she is so not a prissy girl.Pictures on the green screen

Do we look like Texans??

I think we will fit in alright...that is if our "Utah Hoe Hair" doesnt look too weird among the crowds :)

So the deal with Texas...we are moving. It will not be till February, after I have Mckai, teach my photography class, sell half of my house, and pack...uggg packing not fun. We are not sure exactly where we will be possibly in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

Justin has been working in Houston and Dallas since May (yep he knocked me up just before he left), the distance has been good for the money situation but very stressfull on us. Single Mommy life isn't what I signed up for especially being preggo.

I also closed the studio in prep for the move, too much to focus on when we will not be here in a couple months. it was sad but time.

I think I finally am feeling more motherly and preparing our lives to have a baby after almost 7 yrs. It is a huge adjustment and I am really happy I had the last couple yrs to be a mom to the kids without the stress of popping out more kiddos right after each other. Now we have time to just love on McKai like he was our first...this little guy is going to be spoiled!!!!

Thanksgiving 2 yrs ago!

I really want the kids to see Texas before we move soooo...it looks like we might be hanging out with these guys again for thanksgiving...the two black sheep brothers together again :)

Here are pics from 2 yrs ago

Macie and Erik are buddies...she loves the boys!

Kids on the bridge

Oh yeah this was when I broke my tailbone protecting my camera ....good times
