Leslie 9 Months

That stupid fairy did it again! She is now 9 months and so beautiful.

Don on the computer

I don't think I need to say much here do I?! Let's just say I have seen him like this a lot and thought I don't have a picture of this.

I just wanted to take some pictures of Elena on her birthday. I wanted the REAL her in her everyday clothes and hair. Her and Adelyn love to come home and put on their pajamas. So here she is the way she looks normally every day.

These are just for fun.

9

I now have a 9 year old. I remember those sweet days of her infancy. She really has blossomed into a beautiful little girl. She is so sweet and kind. She has a beautiful testimony of our savior. I could ask for no greater oldest daughter.

Elena and Adelyn were meant to be close sisters. They love each other! I only pray that they can continue to help each other through this life and its challenges.

What can I say! I really wanted to hold off to give her any junk till at least 12 months! I told Don not to give her any. But when I was not looking he slipped her some cake! I turned around and Don looked like a little boy with his hand in the pie. Then I noticed this.

She likes of course.

We celebrated Don's birthday and Elena's together. We invited all the family but everyone was really sick. I didn't relish getting bronchitis, pneumonia, or the croup. So we enjoyed a little family party by ourselves.

I take a picture and this is what I get.

So then I say to smile and this is what I get then. Is there no in between? Maybe he needs smiling lessons! Anyone know a smile teacher or doctor?

Oh She is Growing Too Fast

I believe in fairies! They just have to exist. How else can you explain how she got so big so fast!

Daddy's little baby girl

Don has the great job of putting Leslie to bed everynight. He bathes her, feeds her and sings/rocks her to sleep.

Gerber Baby

I get soooo many compliments on this little girl. Most people say she looks like a gerber baby. Then her cheeks always get complimented. I tried to get her to pose for me but it didn't work. This is the best I could do. I need a assistant!

Hyrum turns 5!

Holy Cow! Where did my little baby boy go?!

This year we bribed him to not have a big party. Instead we bought him his coveted star wars legos. It was a win win situation. He only required a spooky cake for his birthday and everyone to dress up.

I love the two babies in this picture!LOL

Bottle Time

I just had to take these. As a mother you spend so much time feeding your little ones. I just had to take some pictures of it for myself.

I love looking in to these eyes. They just make me swoon.

Hyrum is helping me so I can get this shot. I love seeing her eyes half closed and eating! She is in her "milk daze".

The camera snapped her out of it. :(

Lulu Bucket

She is eight months old and such a cutie! If you notice she has two teeth on bottom now.

Playtime

Elena and Adelyn had some friends over to play. They decided to have a picnic. These girls' mother is photographer so they had no problem taking a picture. And no problem being done with taking pictures! HEHE They are all little pros.

My Don

I got hurt when I played with the big boys so the next time I got to take some pictures. I LOVE soccer!

Me and Leslie

I really wanted one photo of Lulu and I. Don took these for me. She is the star of the photos! I have such wonderful children. I have been so blessed by having the privilege of being their mommy. I could have no greater joy, wealth, or honor then raising these kids.

First Day of School 2010

I really have not wanted to pick up my camera after this summer. So here is my pathetic first day of school pictures.

I am sorry my dear girls!

Wings N More

We ended up going to two restaurants when they were here. Wings n more and Papadeaux were the picks. At Papadeaux we tried a lot of new kinds of food. Alligator is one. The whole cajun experience was another. It was awesome! We all had such a GREAT time! When we went to Wings n more we took the kids and they loved it.
