spring

I love this neighborhood we're in right now. These pictures were all taken just around the block, crazy cute around here, huh? :) A few years ago I went out and took pictures of the blossoms and ended up enlarging some for our house.

Hope these colors make you happy.

Seniors









peaceful

Do you ever take those moments to just stare at your children while they're sleeping? This boy is perfect in every single tiny way, to me.

spread the word

Some of you may be heading to St. George, as we are for spring break. Know anyone who has been/is wanting to get a few good shots of their family or individuals done quick and cheap? :)


baby goat

Only a few days old and already standing and eating hay like the big folks? We climbed in there and my girls were thrilled to be able to pet it, while the momma goat just about rammed us out.

Bennett.2wks


A whole lot of love & adjusting

Alright, I must say the girls have been delightful and very helpful, sometimes wanting to help too much. Anyone relate? Yesterday I tried to take Bennett from Seb, so that I could feed him and she clentched on him like he was a toy that she wouldn't give up. The more I tried to take him the harder she'd squeeze! I got a little to the end of my rope with her (for other reasons as well). She ended up outside on the swing. When I found her out here to apologize, I felt so much emotion come over me. What was going on in her mind? How is she really feeling about a whole new life coming into our home? Are we giving her enough attention and love still? Her innocent little mind seemed so frazzled.

Tomorrow we're having a Thanksgiving Feast at her Preschool. I'm going without my other 2. Just me, there to see her and be with her. I must say, being a parent is the best thing in the world....and a struggle at some moments.

I am so grateful I am able to save some of the feelings and emotions with my camera. Even if they are shoved in folders on my computer, I'm grateful to have them.
ps. We're going to have a "raking leaves party" in our lovely yard - in a week or 2. We have six gigantic trees that have let maybe 1/3 of their leaves fall so far. I think they're over 100 yrs old, those honkers. It'll make for some fun piles to jump in.

our baby boy

Bennett Ronald Davies
October 20th, 9:37pm
7lbs 12oz, 19.5 inches

After a couple of weeks thinking "he was coming" and him tricking with lots of false labor....he proved that each pregnancy is so different and they come when they're supposed to :) He decided to really come Thursday evening, what a beautiful moment. We are all soaking in every second of this new little life.
