Family Pictures

So I have many a friend who are photographers, and they are all great at what they do. I have been wanting to get pictures take for a while now of me and my girls but just have not been able to work it right my my budget and timing with my friends.
Well a little over a week ago one of my good friends (and old roommates) took our pictures. I am so happy with how they turned out and I am super excited to share them with you all. I have lots of favorites and most of them I posted here. Now is the fun part for me to be able to pick what pictures I would like to get printed and blown up. I am open for suggestions too if you have any.
Leave me a comment and let me know, and in the mean time here is the link to my friend/photographer Jenny who took my pictures. She is just getting going in her business but so far so good. http://j-richardsonphotography.blogspot.com/

Thanks Jenny. I love them!!!

Thinking

Today I thought about a lot of different things. first off was a picture that I saw on my sisters blog. Keep reading if you are interested in a few things I thought about. Some may or may not make sense. sorry.

First of was a picture. I think pictures like this are cute....but um not when you do it yourself and you are trying to crop the thing to hide other things...

I got new pants today and I think think they make my butt look cute.

I love that I smell like my BFF (Gain).

Today is trash day, I do not want to go put my trash can out to the curb at 6:30 in the morning, in my pj's. But I have to because my trash can is soooo small it is now super full and cannot wait till next week. ~sigh~

Hum my last day of summer break, why do I feel like I just graduated HS and its my first day at college? Oh because I do not know where I am going, how to get there, don't want to be late, and because I will be too far away from my girls.

Kristen, please stop having a fit, I cannot take it anymore.

Oh this coat is one ugly coat, who would wear that? Oh ok lady who pushes me over in order to get THAT coat, I guess you are the one who wears something like that. Whatever blows your hair back.

Humm I wonder if ______________ will FB me today?

I need a new hair cut, in a bad way. I think I am gonna attempt to cut me some bangs...

hum well this will do for now as far as bangs go, but I need to get them fixed this week.

I hate wearing socks, but my feet are cold, at least I have cute socks on.

I need to paint my toenails, I want a cute picture of my feet and my girls feet.

I like my house, I have good taste in decorations, I just need to keep it clean and it would look good.

OMG, you gave my phone number to __________! And he is gonna call me? EEEEEEEEE!

Why did I feel so lonely last night but today I do not?

I am glad that you are my brother.

Kindergarten open house tonight, should I dress up? Heck yes you should, you never know right?!

I wonder if people look at my blog? I like to look at other peoples blogs. I guess you could call if blog stalking, I do that a lot. Humm.

What should I make for dinner? Oh yeah I don't have to yay.

I need to call the temple and put my name down for Friday night.

Why are you being nice to me? What are you hiding? I don't like you. I am still scared of you and what you are capable of doing to me.

I am a happy person!

I love my kids, I need to show it more often to them.

I need to work out more. I'm gonna do it! It will make me feel better about myself.

I cannot wait till Thursday when Grey's Anatomy starts. I love that show.

I hate the Doctors office its just not a comfortable place to be.

This rug is so cute. I am glad that I got it.

What do you think?

I went to Seattle last weekend and visited my friend Aimee for the weekend. While there we took a fairy over to Bermerton to visit another friend of mine Carrie. Anyways we were taking some fun pictures and these are half of them (by half I mean I cropped them and took Carrie out of the picture, she was facing the opposite of me and so you get why I would take her out so as to not embarrass her). Anyways I think they are fun pictures of me, not that anyone else cares, but I thought that I would post them just because I like them. They make me laugh, and I do not think that I look half that bad in them either.

Baili's first day of Kindergarten

I cannot believe it, today was/is Baili's first day of school. I help it together pretty well. I cried a bit last night and I did a little bit today after I left her at school. But more so I am just really excited for her. I cannot wait to hear all about her first day. I told her that when she got home I wanted to hear all about her new Friends (at least 2 of them) and about the books she read, and the play time outside, and her teacher. She was so excited and ran the whole way there. Those who where with her today as we walked her to school were Me (her mother) Kristen (sister) Jonas (her dad) and Melissa (her dads friend).

In her lunch we packed a turkey sandwich, strawberries, carrots and dip, Cheetos, s'mores cracker sandwich things, and a water bottle.

I asked her what she was doing here and she said that she was striking a pose, so the #1 finger thing does not mean anything. lol

I am so proud of Baili. She will do a great job in school. She will make friends easily and have fun. She is such a big girl and I cannot wait for her to learn and enjoy her life. Have a great year Baili. I love you!

summer 2010

These pictures are a little out of order but you will get the idea. We had a great summer. We went swimming a lot at my brother and his wife's pool, we went to the park a lot, we went to friends houses and did crafts, and went on vacations, saw family. It has really been one of the best summers ever. I am sad that is is now over. But I am ready for this new school year to start (more on that next).

At a parade, girls are on my brothers long board, this was at the very beginning of the summer, they have changed so much since this picture.

Baili broke her arm about 4 weeks ago. We were at the park with some friends and she was on the bar thing that slides and she jerked to a stop at the end and fell and broke her wrist. She had to be put to sleep to get it reset, luckily they did not have to cut her open or put any pins in. She was in a soft cast for 2 weeks and now in a hot pink and hot orange striped cast for 4 weeks. She really likes all of the attention that she is getting from it too, however it sure is a bugger to bathe her. Ugh.

Next up, well you can see. He will hate me for posting this picture but this is the type of thing that good uncles do, and that is just what my brother Ian is. He really is such a good Uncle to my girls, they love him and love his wife Karissa. It is so nice having family live so close. The come over at least once a week, more often usually. We also exchange dinner nights, on Sundays I cook for them and on Thursdays they cook for me. It is great. I just love them as do my girls.

There is a lady in my ward who has this big water blow up slide (like those jumping castles) once a summer she will blow it up and invite all the kids in the ward to come and play on it. Baili's arm was broken at this point so it was just kristen who was able to play on it, but she loved it. I think we were there for like 4 hours.

Here are the girls at our weekly visits to Ian and Karissa's pool. The loved it. They swam they dove, they jumped and LAUGHED! It was so fun.

That is our summer in a nutshell. I hope everyone enjoyed their summer as much as we did.
