Goodbye Mimi

Finally......goodbye to mimi!  That is what Rylee called her binkies!  I have wanted to cut Rylee off for awhile, but knew with all the summer trips, and for my sanity, waited til this week.  I have to say, WHY DID I NOT DO IT EARLIER?   She seriously didn't even care....she cut them all up with scissors, and tossed them in the garbage...wow!   She only asked for them one other time and I told her we threw them away because she is a big girl now,  and she said "......Yea, me a BIG GIRL!", with a smile on her face.   Now......on to potty training!  Ahhhhhhh!

Just wanted to tell everyone we are alive.....life has been crazy......but I will do a LONG update soon.  Here is a picture of Taeler and Rylee on their first day of school!

ACTIVIA YOGURT

Did you know that you are supposed to drink yogurt, not eat it with a spoon.  Atleast according to Rylee, it is the new cool thing to do.  It doesn't matter if half of it ends up all over your stomach and face.  So, next time someone offers you a spoon, DO NOT TAKE IT!  It's not cool!

SWIM

Taeler has been taking swim lessons from Mrs. Traci for a few days now, and LOVES IT!  She is doing so good, learning to dive, breast stroke, and the butterfly.  Her cousin Taytum is taking it to which is so fun!  

CONTEST!

Hey everyone!  Go check out Pied Piper's blog for a fun contest she's doing!  

Here's a few pics of Taeler I took the other day!  A girl with many expressions!  Check out my blog to see more!  Oh.....and don't forget to check out my poll and vote on the right side!

Taeler's Photo shoot!

These pictures were taken by Pied Piper.  She was doing a photo shoot for Their Nibs, a boutique in London.  She needed someone Taeler's size, so it worked out great!  Love the pictures!  Thanks Lindsey!  You are awesome!

Friday night, we babysat our niece and nephew, Eliza and Turner.  We took them to the park and I got some cute pics of Turner.  Eliza wasn't to excited about it, but Turner was easy!  

Rylee Roo decided she would rather run through the puddles than play at the park!   Surprise Surprise!

Last Saturday, I went to my parents house to do Sydney's hair for prom, and the girls decided to go get wet outside.  So, of course I snapped a few shots.  Taeler happened to already be in her swimsuit, but not Rylee.  So, what happens, she slips and falls in and thinks it's the end of the world.  Luckily, it's so stinkin hot outside, she dried within a few minutes!  I also included a few pics I snapped of Sydney in her Prom dress!

Hey, sorry I know it's been awhile since I've updated, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I finally put up a photography blog, I will have the link on the right side, or you can click here to get to it!  Please check it out!  I will hopefully be updating it a lot more than this one!  By the way, we are all doing good!  Hope you all are too!  Love you all!

Extra! Extra!

Ok....calling all creative minds!  I am in need of a name for my photography buisness!  I have thought and thought and haven't quite found what I'm looking for!  So, think, think, think, an leave a comment with any ideas!   Why am I not using Chelsea Bevans Photography you might ask?  Well, It just doesn't flow so well!  So, since you are all so creative...give it a shot!  Thanks!

Zoo Trip

Recently, we went to the Phoenix Zoo with cousins Eliza and Chloe!  Of course, the girls had a blast!  We need to go more often! Thanks Girls for such a fun day!

More pics from today....

Today....

My mom called and said they had this big tarp from the trek at their house and thought it would be fun for the grandkids to come over and play slip and slide on it.  So, we all went over this afternoon and had some fun.  It was like 88 degrees today, so the kids were excited to get in their swimsuits and get wet!  I am so glad we have such good parents and family on both sides!  We are truly blessed to be surrounded by such awesome people!  

Presley

Ok, so last Saturday, Michael and Brooke went out of town and asked us to watch little Presley for them.  Of course I was like sure, whatever, it's just a dog!  Ok, it's like having another child.  Every hour it needed to go out to pee, and still had a few accidents in the house.  Needs to be fed.  Always wants your attention to play.  It was like having a third child.  That is why I am not pregnant yet people!  Of course, my kids, AND JOSH, loved her to death, and I will admit, it was fun at times to have her here!  Thank you Michael and Brooke for letting us get our dog fix for awhile!

7th Anniversary

Alright, I know it's a little late, but I wanted to do a shout out to my sweet hubby Josh who really came through for our anniversary this year!   Being a Monday and he had to work, we met for dinner and he brought me these beautiful roses!  I love fresh flowers and it has been awhile since I've gotten some.  After dinner, we both went and got pedicures together, which was much needed for both of us!  Happy 7th Anniversary honey!  I love you!

Photo Class

Just a couple random pics from my photo class when we were doing a project with shutter speed!

OUCH!!!!!

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since my last post!  Well, let's see, a lot has happened from sick kids, my brother in law, Jamison getting home from his mission, to me breaking my finger.  Take my word for it....it hurts!  I slammed my pointer finger on my right hand in the car door.   Again....it hurts...do not attempt it!  This is not my xray, but pretty much feels like what I did.  My sweet hubby took an xray at his office.  And I've had to wear this stupid metal thing to keep me from hitting it against things.  What makes it even worse is it's my writing hand, everything hand.  And my kids only felt bad for me for about 5 minutes.  Well, enough complaining.  We are all doing well, healthy and happy!  

Power Ranch Park

Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged.  Life has been so crazy these last few weeks.  So, today we decided to just drop everything and go over to the Power Ranch Park.  I highly recommend this park because the kids love it!  We fed the ducks, ate lunch, and played on the playground.  It felt good to just get out and enjoy the sunshine.  I can't believe how hot it is already.  Ohhhhh...I'm not ready for the heat yet!  

She's....

She's a little it of sunshine,

She's a smile to light your days,

she will steal your heart and keep it

with her warm endearing ways,

she's your precious little daughter

with a sweetness from above

who will fill your years with laughter

and your lives with lots of love.
