Ruby...

Seriously, I know everyone writes this when they post a shoot of a baby but I am really asking- have you ever seen a cuter baby than this? I keep saying to her mother, you have got to get this girl earning her keep if you know what I mean...

Jessica and Boys

Jess came to visit for a couple of days this week so I took her and her boys out for a shoot.
Most of you who check this blog will know Jess no no intros necessary. For you others this is my friend Jess who moved into my apartment at BYU and we have been best buds ever since. But she lives in North Carolina where her husband is doing his residency so I haven't actually seen her for 5 years! She'll probably hat it but the last shot is my favorite. Can't you just see how much she adores her 2 boys. While we were in college she was scouted to be a model...you can see why...

A Sad Sad day...

My Gabe is too quickly leaving babyhood to join the rank of little boy. And I'm not dealing so well. All in one week he has figured out how to get out of his crib, sit up on a stool to eat, insist on feeding himself, regularly pick his little nose and the worst part, got his hair cut.

What am I going to do when all my babies are past this stage and I have no more. Maybe I'll be so tired by then that I will be overjoyed that they all have left the baby stage. I can't imagine that happening. Gabe just ran to me for kisses while his diaper made that swishing noise that only a full diaper can make. Its moments like these I never want to lose.

It is so strange, in the morning I have a renewed vigor for motherhood..then by four o' clock I want to run screaming out of the house and quit this job all together. It's the only job that really is not an option, maybe if it was I wouldn't consider it so much? Like playing the piano when I was younger, when my mother really gave me the chance to quit, I wouldn't want to.

Maybe that's the trick with motherhood. Give yourself the option to walk away at anytime and you will realize how much you really love it and won't want to leave. If you don't relate to this post at all, please pretend you never read it and that I love being a mother at all times...

p.s. sometime I like to do funky things with photos, what do you think of the greeish hue. It kind of makes it look like it was taken in the seventies...

Haley and family

This is my niece Haley and her family. CAn you believe I have a niece who has 2 kids. And to top it off...her mother, my sister, just had her eighth child. Yes thats right. Her mother has a daughter who is younger than her nephews....oh and what's that you say? No one should look like that 5 months after having a baby? I agree sister, I agree.

It's a.....

Oh goodness...I feel like my life is going crazy right now. My 16 months old has figured out how to climb out of his crib, they have recalled all crib tents, I find out what I am having today- I really want to have a surprise but don't know if I have the will power, David's birthday was yesterday and I have gotten exactly zero presents for him, my laundry room looks like a hurricane is brewing, Gabe's hair is way to long and while we were at the beach it was super curly but now we are back in Utah it is practically straight, Coco is possessed at bedtime sans binkie now, David starts kindergarten in week, my liver medication is going to cost a fortune, I just found out, James starts his Masters program in 2 weeks, the full blown itching will begin in 4-6 weeks, I still haven't decided abut pre-school for Coco...can I just go back and live here?

My brother.....

Yes single ladies, this is my brother. So if you are interested you can email him at dannywarner@gmail.com. Other than that, you are on your own....

This past week has been one of the greatest of my life. It was everything we had been looking forward to for the last year. I had the chance to do photo shoots of all my bothers and sisters and their kids. I'll be posting some pics from those shoots for the next couple of weeks- I do have 9 brothers and sisters and 40 nieces and nephews so that makes for a lot of pics. I imagine my old friends will be interested to see my bothers and sisters and their families...so check back often. THose of you who don't know these people, just come for the photos, and make and comments or sugestions. I welcome criticism...just don't be too harsh, remember I'm pregnant....
