I love you grandpa

Last week my grandpa passed away. Bone Cancer came over him out of nowhere. Dara posted the events on her blog so I wont get to detailed. This loss has effecting all of us very deeply. He was always so strong and courageous. Nothing phased him. Nothing hurt him. He was my mountain man. Growing up I became very close with him. Especially when I became Pregnant with my little Ryen. We seemed to have a connection more than we ever had. He supported me in every way. When they lived in North Carolina a couple years back they had a few opportunities to meet Ryen and Sonny and Megan. They had an instant connection. I am so thankful that she got to meet one of my favorite people in this world. Megan took this one time when they were together. He taught me so much about life. I will truly miss him until the day I see him again. I love you grandpa!

sigh.

Larz got a package from grandma and aunt megan the other day! This little outfit was inside and I just LOVE it! I had to take a picture if him in it. Hes so amazing.

Happy Holidays!

Our Christmas went great! Larz was cranky all morning, warm all afternoon, then threw up last night. He is teething so bad and his dad likes to feed him things he shouldn't. Ha. He got some fun gifts from Santa this year. We videotaped the whole thing so I dont have any pictures. What was I thinking?. Rob got me the coolest camera! Its a land camera and its from 1954. I cant wait to dive into it and take some black and white shots of some mountains!

I love life.

my little pistacio

The other day I was getting him dressed after his bath and while leaning down to grab something he decided to try to fly. He took a nose dive right off of the table into the carpet with his little face. He was bleeding and I was crying and trying not to move him because I was scared something serious was wrong. It turns out it was just a rug burn on his nose. It was alot worse last week. Here is my little model showing off his beautiful nose. :) Oh, and he just started making this face where he squints his eyes. Its hilarious.

Megan....

Being a mother is such an amazing gift. And I just want Megan to know that she is the most amazing mother in this world. I love you Megan and thank you for being so perfect for my little sunflower.

Recent Wedding

This wedding was so unbelievably beautiful...Everything about it was perfect. I personally loved the cake. There was a little boy that would not leave that cake for the life of him. His parents told me that he was obsessed with ALL cakes. It was really cute to see him patiently wait for it to be cut and passed out. The older couple made my tear up while taking their picture. Seriously. Moments like those are why I love doing what I do.

a stroll down memory lane

When I was younger my friends and I would ride our bikes through old town gilbert. Everything was different back then. There was this little park next to the train tracks that we would go to and ride the merry go round and swing. I took my camera there the other day and man was it weird. So much has changed.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a lovely thanksgiving over at my parents, like always. I ate way too much! It just gets better and better now that we all have our own families and are older. :) (we miss you Tif!)

National Adoption Awareness Month

As you all know I had Ryen Olivia 4 years ago and placed her for Adoption. Her parents are so amazing and have helped me through this healing process more than you can imagine. They are my heros. Adoption to me is such an amazing thing. My little angel is where she belongs. Without her parents I wouldve never had the chance to meet Rob and have Larz. It has been such an amazing experience. Hard yes, but right. Ryen has the most AMAZING life any child could have. Its ridiculous how much they love her! Im so thankful for finding them and making the choice that I made. :)
