Argh...

*SIGH*....

I had a photoshoot today, and decided to keep my stuff up and take some new pics of Mins. Let's just be honest and say it didn't turn out well. She cried, peed, and kicked the whole time! I don't feel like I got a single good one.. however, I still am posting them because good picture or not, she is still the cutest gal west of the Mississippi.

.

And this last one just makes me laugh, because this is what about 95% of all of them were...

mad baby=blurry picture.

Oh Minsie Moo....

fun with Nann

friday aftternoon nannie took all of her salt lake grand babies to a very fun lunch at the new "Max & Cheese". it is a restaurant just for kids, with parents "tolerated" and a menu that doesn't offer much more than hot dogs, gold fish, and yes you guessed it, mac'n cheese. what?? you want to grab you husband, paticularly on a hot date night and go? i know.. sounds like a party, but really it just was.

minie and jude's "octodog".

what this picture doesn't tell you, is that minie moments earlier cleared the table with one fowel swoop of her crazy horse hands ... love that.

crazy horse herself

sweet jude

and dabbi...

thank you nann for the wonderful afternoon!

bath times....

as i was going through my catalog of photos from the last few weeks tonight, i came across several bath time shots of miss mins...

just thought i'd post a few.

i love this girl so much.

Favorites from todays shoot

Angela, I'm sorry I'm posting these on "my" blog, but you look gorgeous!

Didn't I have the most perfect preggo model? She's beautiful, quirky, so fun, and will make a fabulous Mama here in a few short weeks!!!

Thank you again gingi!! It really was a good time :)

You can check out your real "pre view" on my photo blog.

Thanks again!

anyway....

check out my web-site (side bar).

it's still brand spankin' new.. so yeah, most of these pictures will be on there,

so what?

she has the flu

it breaks my heart.

why are babies even allowed to get sick?

minie was diagnosed with influenza A yesterday, and i have never seen her so miserable. if she is awake she is is sobbing.. you can just tell she aches all over. she has thown up sheer mucous several times, and only sleeps in 20 minute intervals.

i hate the flu.

poor baby.

could my girl be cuter?

my only model......

I'm so incredibly thrilled about it I can't even sleep at night...for real.

Red Headed Friends

My good friend Cami has the most adorable little red headed boy named Bo. I loved him the minute I layed eyes on his little strawberry head... Do I even need to explain why?

.

Look at these two? Bo could very well be mine!!! Aren't they darling? While we were out to Costco last week I snapped this shot, and just thought it too funny... Little red headed friends.... who sadly both have not so little red headed tempers. Obviously this set up didn't last long, ending with both Bo and Minie crying/screaming.

*SIGH*... it was very cute while it lasted.

Happy Be-Lated Valentine's!

We are terribly sorry we've been MIA this past week... that darn blog rut got the best of us yet again. But really, we are still here anxiously wanting to update you all on our immensley interesting lives...

So this is how our V-day went down;

I woke up very early and made the now traditioned, Valentine breakfast. It was yummy, and really fun to have Daddy there at breakfast for a change.
*Also please note how incredibly much Dustin and Minie look alike.. it's insane to me still
.
We then got bathed, dressed, ready, and started our first photo shoot for the day.
She's my Funny little Valentine... Always.

After the morning nap we headed over to my friend Dani's for what she calls "wiggle" time. I think it is a collaboration of story time and play group... I don't know though. I definately could be wrong. I'm very new to this Mom/playdate stuff. Really it was just nice to have something to do.

After play group we wandered home and spent the day stuck at the house. Dustin had informed me that "surprises" would be arriving through out the day and I musn't leave at all! I really can't complain though... I was showered with a lovely rose boquet, and an even prettier name necklace. He ALWAYS spoils... He's a good hub.

And although it is not photo documented, later in the evening we went out to a very lovely, fancy, schpancy, Valentine dinner at the Metropolitin. It really was extremely delicious, and very romantic. Dustin did so well!!

.

However at this point I must give a big thanks to Steve and Alice. Grandma and Grandpa were ever so nice to baby sit the moos at our house, eating McDonalds and watching TV while we were out painting the town...They really helped out there, and it was so fun to be able to get dressed up and have a nice dinner. Thank you, thank you!

Our Valentine's Day was fabulous. I truly hope yours was too ...
