Happy 2nd Birthday Stockton

Dear Stockton,
You're two today!! Wow, these past two years have just flown by! You are the action in our family. You are the busiest, the craziest, the funniest and the sweetest little 2 year old! You can hum any tune and you love to follow your big brother around! You love your daddy! You're attached at the hip. Your next best friend is Mickey!! You love anything Mickey! You like to go potty. You're not potty trained but we've started and it's awesome! You just figured out how to open doors. You love to climb and love to grunt too!
Stockton every time I look at you (well most of the time) I feel overwhelmed with love! I took a huge leap of faith with you. My doctor said not to have any more babies after I had Ty. It scared me but I knew there was another baby for our family even though I swore up and down that you were a little girl, there was just one more.
I am so grateful for you everyday! You're so stinkin cute and so funny!
I love you every day, every second and every inch!!! xoxoxoxoxoxo
Love,
Mom

It's quiet

It's 12:07am and I'm just finishing up a family session edit. As I sit here, I hear nothing! I could hear a pin drop! It's peaceful and I enjoy it. I only have a few more edits to finish before my mom and grandma get here on Friday!! Yay! We can't contain ourselves :) Lots of excitement around here. Stockton started getting interested in potty training a few weeks ago and is still acting interested! Yay! I take him whenever he tells me or whenever I change him! I don't want to fully start until after family leaves and when photos slow down to which I'm about there :)
I'm enjoying this holiday time too! I just love it! Paige got the "Mustang Pride" award at school!! The school called to say how she got it and why! So precious! I, of course cried when I got the call! It was so sweet! I'm just in love with my kids :) being a mom is so awesome! It has it's hair pulling, go hide in the closet moments but ahhhhhh..... Such good tender moments too!
Life is busy life is crazy and life is so good!

It's 11:46PM

and I'm STILL up of course. I made some "ready to eat cookies dough" tonight. It wasn't all that good. But I tried. The kids have been enjoying the 9 puppies and boy do the other kids in the neighborhood go crazy over them too! Terry's dog had 11 puppies total but 2 died. Not has bad as the last litter.... she had 9 then and 5 died! That was insane!!! Terry watched her eat the last puppy that died 1 week ago. He said no words can describe. Anywho... she has 7 boys and 2 girls. 3 brown colored and 6 black. They're cute!

The kids are just loving riding their bikes with NO training wheels! We taught them at the same time. Ty picked it up QUICK but Paige was hesitant. She was a little scared but got the hang of it shortly after. They just ride around with all the neighborhood kids. It's so nice to have such amazing neighbors! Having our best friends live next door is pretty much THE BEST!
The weather is beautiful! It's Fall for sure! Cool crisp and so pretty! The leaves are changing and we're ready for Halloween. Of course, Christmas music is being played already in our home :)
Photography is keeping me busy this time of year. I've slowed down a little and it's been really nice. I don't do anymore weddings and am really trying to focus on newborns! Oh' how love those babies! Having a studio in our home is such a huge blessing! Terry is getting ready to turn 33 on Saturday! Yay!! I have a big family/friends dinner planned! He wants bbq roast beef on homemade bread, cabbage salad and 3 desserts! He's so flippen funny!
I just ordered my very first "blog" book!! I am beyond giddy about getting it! It has everything I've ever blogged about! It's a big book but I'm caught up so I won't have to get another one for a few years.
Well that's about it for us! SInce I decided to start blogging again I've been able to treat this like a real journal. I want my kids to read this years down the road and see how our life was!
Now I just need to add some new pics ;) love to all xoxoxo

2011 so far..........














This year started out with much excitement! I celebrated my 32nd birthday and then went off to Vegas for a week of "photography fun"! Stockton and I hopped onto a plane and went and played with Nana and Papa..... well Stock did I went to a bunch of classes and hung out at the convention!
WHile I was gone Terry called and said...."I think Paige has the Chicken Pox!" Of course, my response was WHAT!!! Why when I'm gone? He sent me some photos of her and after looking at them I knew it wasn't the Pox. He, of course, disagreed. I KNEW those weren't spots and something just kept telling me they're not. So after a few "tiffs" he finally took her in and guess what.......... NOT THE CHICKEN POX!!!! LOL! A mother knows :) She had "Fifths disease". It's a really bad rash and spreads pretty quick. There's nothing to do but to let it pass and the kids are in no pain. CRAZY! She looked real bad but after a week she was back to normal.
Then, the end of February, we were talking to our closest friends about buying some land to build someday. No biggie. We then heard from our friends that some new houses were being built a street over from us. We were not really ready to buy but we thought HEY we'll go look. Well....... that was it!!! The houses were a STEAL and of course, my dear sweet hubbs couldn't pass it up. So we bought! Eeeeeek! It was fast! Our friends bought too.... right next door to us again! Lol! Our house sold without it even being listed and sold to the first people that looked and sold in an HOUR!! Freak! We packed up and moved into my in-laws in the middle of March!
Living with my father-in-law was pretty neat. It was nice to visit with him at night and fun to have him around with the kids. Our house was complete May 19th! I love it!! It's a 2 story beautiful home that our family can live in forever! We better because I'm not moving again! I have a studio here and that's one of the best parts! Earlier in the year I decided to specialize a focus on Newborn photography. I just LOVE the babies and with having a studio at home it makes it so much easier for me.
I left for Vegas for a month with the kids in June and part of July. We had fun. It was HOT! I forget how hot it really gets there. It was hard being away from Terry that long tho. It's hard to have family THAT far.
Photography keeps me pretty busy! Having people come into my home is such a blessing. I feel so blessed to have such amazing clients. Focusing more on Newborns has been the best decision I've made. With not being able to have anymore children, it's helped me fill that void a little more and I love it!
Paige started first grade! She turned 6 in August. Holy heck! SHe's so big! But so tiny :) She's having a little bit of a hard time adjusting but I think she'll do great! She loves her Barbies and is so smart. She's my girl! Ty turned 4 and he's my little hero! He's my buddy. I swear that kid would fight anyone who would try to hurt me. He's darling! Stockton......... what to say about him?!! OMG! He is my busy one. He's my last and he's making a statement to show it! he loves to climb, throw beautiful fits and hates trips in the car! Yep, he's different BUT is freaking cute!!! He doesn't say much but can put on a show when you're lucky!
Life is crazy and that's how I like it.... sometimes ;)

Can we say......... lazy, behind and horrible blog mother! LOL! I blame Facebook all the way! 100%! It's so easy to just post on FB with your phone! A lot has gone on and for my own records I am going to STAT our family so you can see what's been going on! Starting with 2010. Here we go:
2010
~ Paige and Ty had swim lessons with our favorite Kait-ta-linn.
~ Disneyland in August!! I scored $19.99 plane tickets so we jumped and met my mom and sister there! So freaking fun! It's my favorite place!
~Paige turned 5 and started Kindergarden! I was a basketcase but she did amazing and loved school!
~ Ty turned 3. He got a bike and loves to ride it!
~ Our little Stockton turned 1! WHere did the time go? Sweet, sweet boy! He started walking at 11 months old.
~Paige did ballet and tap and LOVED it!
~Terry did a Tri-athalon!!! He amazes me. He is such a stud and can do anything!
~We went to Winthrop, WA for Terry's cousins graduation. That was fun! We love going and seeing all of the Bradshaws!
~We had our annual friend camping trip to the coast. OMG! What a beautiful place. It's always a blast to go!
~ Last but not least we drove 15 hours + to Vegas for Christmas. UGH! That drive mixed with bad weather wasn't the best but we sure had fun with "Nana and Papa". It's always so fun to be with family!
Here are some pics from 2010
