It's About That Time

 

I officially have less than three weeks until my date to get the braces taken off. I tacked on a little more time two appointments ago, but hey, when you are over $24k into a process, you pretty much want it to end perfectly. And that's why I was picky about one little thing, which added on another four weeks. Four weeks added to over two years really isn't all that much. This feeling is similar to that during the last two weeks of a pregnancy: you are done. You are over it. You want that baby out of your body. In this case, I want the braces gone. It's been a process unlike anything I have ever experienced. I have two fun trips planned in the coming months, so I'm glad the braces will be gone in time for those. Almost there!!

 

 

As I watch Carter's adult teeth come in, it's apparent he will also need braces. Hopefully I can get all of my costs paid off in time to start paying on his! ;)

Life

 

Holy shit, the twists life takes. Pretty amazing.

Wyatt {senior}

Wyatt, his mother, and I strolled around downtown Boise last weekend to do his senior pictures. The weather was gorgeous and we had many laughs at his attempts at GQ poses. It was a fun afternoon!

Happy Mother's Day!

 

To the best mom there is - Happy Mother's Day. Love you!

 

I also am proud to be the mother to these two little people - best job in the world!

Baby Chloe {newborn}

I did this shoot last week with little Chloe. For only being five days old, she was WIDE awake for 99% of the shoot, which made things rather difficult. But we powered through with cuteness and got it done.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Time to Brag

 

So we are a few games into the baseball season for Carter, and I could not be more proud of this kid. He is having a blast (which is so fun to watch) and he's doing really well both on defense and offense. He has hit the ball hard every single at-bat, and even had a legit homerun last game. We need to scale back the chatting when he's out in the field, but that'll come with more experience. For the time being, we are having a great time watching this kid play ball.

 

 

At school, we were told yesterday that he is the only first grader in the entire school to make the dream mile team. He ran the mile in 7 minutes, and will be running with all of the older kids towards the end of May, in front of the whole school. His athleticism is really making this mama proud!

 

 

Way to go, Carter!
