January 2015

It was an interesting start to 2015. That is for sure. Lucas and I were so so incredibly sick. I'm glad to report we are both finally feeling better. I still have some congestion but it's not bad at all anymore. Thankfully James didn't get it at all and Lily only got a cough but nothing more. I have been completely confined to the bed or couch all January so It's so great to be able to do my mommy chores again. I have decided to take some time off of photography for a while. It's hard to start a business when you have no money to start it with. I couldn't keep up on the payments for Lightroom and Photoshop so I don't have any GOOD editing programs and one of my lenses has a giant scratch on the inside. I don't know what happened so I took all that as a sign to slow down and come back in a few months when it gets warm.

Anyways, I'm excited for February I get to celebrate my dad and it's also Lucas Birthday! I guess Valentine's Day too. I've never been much of a fan because I never get Lucas for V-day. He always works so it's just kind of meh for me but still excited to see what this month will bring!

 ^^James is SUPER into watercolors right now! He has filled almost all his coloring books! I love it so so much!! He's so funny, seriously every time I say, "Oh that's a beautiful picture James.." He Stops me and says, " No NO NO NO! It's not finished yet!!!!!" He is so serious about his art. 

I took some engagement photos for Aaron Capener and his fiance back in October and they just got married a couple weeks ago. I took some pictures at their Reception here in Idaho and I got to go with just Lucas. The kids stayed with Aunt Mary and Lydia! So we had fun. Aaron's brother, Kevin is Lucas' best friend so we had fun talking to him!

Speaking of Kevin, He got a job with the FBI here in Pocatello so he just bought a house here because he was commuting from IF to Poky and we all know how annoying that is, so he moved in a month ago and it is AMAZING. I'm so jealous. haha. We are going to be at his house a lot, let's just say that. :)

I asked Lily,

"Do you want to get dressed in some pretty clothes?"

Lily: "Yah!!" 

She then took my hand and let me into her room! 

*HEART MELTED*

It was Courtney Burtons wedding day on the 31st and I haven't seen those girls in years. I grew up down the street from them so it was so good seeing those goons. They are just as crazy as ever! Marisa just had her baby so she wasnt able to come. But I had to get a picture of at least Courtney, T and I! 

 It was Lily's first time in a successful Pony on the top of her head and I was just ecstatic!! 

This is the face of a 24 year old Exhausted mom of two that literally wants to hit her face against the wall at the end of every day. Is that normal??

No?!
