Whirlwind Wedding Weekend

Last Thursday Chris's baby brother Bradley graduated from High School. Yay Bradley! That in of it self would have been a fun family weekend, but we lucked out and got a two for one deal. Chris's brother Dallas was married that same weekend.

Aren't they just so cute! So young, skinny and in love. You wouldn't even guess they got up at 4am, the DAY OF their wedding to have their pictures taken. Aye currumba!!!

Would you look at that! Chris isn't just good for taking pictures. I'm seriously so impressed with his skills. When I used to do hair I'd tremble at the thought of sticking a brides veil in. Seriously, you can jack up their hair in a hot second!

Awe! He knows how to bustle a dress too! It just gets better.

True to Snowflake, it was nice and WINDY! Ooo, and I made that little purple tie for Crew. He liked eating it.

Sweet hug between Ashley and Andrea.

Aunt Diane front and center, just how we like her.

Kisses! (Nancy, Tom, Diane).

I am loving this picture of Crew with his Grandpa Tom. Stink'n cute.

1st Mother's Day

The morning of my very first Mother's Day, I woke up to a BIG beautiful ball of flowers. I was astonished! Chris has NEVER bought me flowers in the entirety of our marriage. As it turns out, Chris did not actually buy those flowers. They just so happened to be giving away the centerpiece flower arrangements at the wedding he was shooting the previous night. He assured me that it was a real pain in the butt to bring home.

Chris was very good to give me some 'mommy time'. He even changed a couple diapers! I was hoping he'd get a nice poopy one, but Crew decided he'd play nice.

I feel so grateful to my Heavenly Father for sending me such a sweet little boy.

I LOVE being a mommy! I'm truly blessed to be able to stay at home with our little guy. Life doesn't get better than this.

He's so stink'n cute we just might have more.

Happy Mother's Day

Chris got his picture taken today.

For whatever reason Arizona is really relaxed about updating your license. Until today the picture on my license was the same one taken when I got my learning permit when I was 15 years old. I got a letter in the mail a few weeks ago letting me know that if I didn't update my picture, my license would be suspended. Also I have to renew my passport for a wedding abroad coming up this summer and thought that a suspended license would reflect poorly on my passport application process.





So I put on a good shirt and drove all over creation to find a DMV today, and the above image is what I got for my $4.00 renewal fee.
