Graduation Photos

No, not mine yet!  These are my sisters!  She graduates from high school here in a couple of weeks and my mom had asked me to take her graduation pictures.  So...we went to Wheeler Farm and Red Butte Garden. We had a fun time...but she is not the most cooperative of subjects.  None the less I think we got some good ones so...here they are (just a sampling).

I do have to say that taking pictures of kids is so much easier.  They just want to have fun!  I think some teens and adults are very self conscious that they don't let themselves go and have fun with it to capture some candid shots. Needless to say I'm looking forward to taking my kids' pictures again this year.  I'm really excited for Aaden's just because of how energetic and upbeat he is about it all.  Landon is good but it definitely is a two person job with that one!

Zoo

So today we went to the zoo with my friend Alicia.  Her little girls is so cute.  Aaden and her had so much fun it was awesome!   So for viewing pleasure, here are some pics!

Here's Landon just so happy with his snack waiting!

The hubby and I!

Aaden and I on the train!  He loves to ride it every time!

My favorite picture of Landon.  He's know learning to smile when a camera comes out!

The hubby and Landon!

We had such a fun time!  It was a blast to be with my friend and hubby!  Who could ask for anything more!  The boys were cute and it wasn't too hot out today.  All around it has been a perfect day!

Such a slacker!

For the whole 2 people who read my blog...I'm a slacker.  I have so many things to post about but never get around to it!  So here we go.

Easter...I'll do that another time.  (See what did I tell ya?)

First actual prenatal appt was on the 9th.  Couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler but saw it on the ultrasound.  Still nauseous but getting better day by day.  I'm not having to rely on the Zofran as much.  We did family history and lab work.  Both the midwife and I think this is a girl and that she'll be about 7.5 lbs.  She thinks Landon was the one who paved the way for me to have a wonderful homebirth this time with him weighing in at 8.11 and being 20 hrs in labor.  I'm a bit skeptical about the weight and time of this one but we'll see.  Lab work came back and I look beautiful and was made for having babies.  (Her words, not mine).  For all those who don't know, I was diagnosed with a closed fallopian tube and endometriosis in 2005, so every pregnancy is a miracle to us.  The fact that I've only miscarried once is beyond what the doctors ever thought so I'm very grateful for being given this opportunity.

We went to a Bees game on the 16th.  Had a ton of fun.  The boys, especially Landon, were making the people around us laugh.  My parents and sister went with so that was fun.  Fireworks were great.

Saturday the 17th....not a good day.  Spent the majority of it in the ER for a pulled muscle in my back over my lungs.  Doctors though of a possible pulmonary embolism.  The pain was so excruciating that it was making me vomit.  For those who know me...I hate to vomit and can usually talk my way out of it...yet this was bad.  I would have taken labor without the gift at the end over that.  So the weekend was slow going.  I still have some slight pain every once in a while but doing better.

We bought our tickets to Texas.  Woo-hoo.  We go down in May.

Okay maybe not so much has been going on.  Aaden has said/done some really cute things and so has Landon yet I can't remember right now to post.  I need to get better at this.
