Family Pics

So my awesome friend Rosalyn took some pictures for us while were in Calgary a few weekends ago. She did such an awesome job! thanks roz! So if you're ever down there, give her a call :) or just check her out www.rosalynphotography.com so here are some of my favorites. it seems so much harder to choose one to frame now that there are three...and that one of them just turned 1 and was not happy about taking pictures. do you take the one where we look decent, or where she is kind of happy, or what?! it would have all just been easier if she was her normal smiley self!!! i am not so sure what was going on that day, but somehow she is still just the cutest

And this is what Blakely thought of the whole thing

being sick

when you're sick you are allowed to cry and throw tantrums and watch tv all day fall asleep anywehre you want sleep on your mom while she is working and sleep in your parents bed let's just say it's been a few sleepless nights...it's so sad when someone so small is so sick..but I love those sick cuddles. they are priceless.

Birthday Girl

For anyone that actually ever reads this, it's been a while. I know. Life gets crazy with a kid and getting a new job and Spence getting a new job etc....well, thats all i'm gonna say about that! just wanted to give an update of the last while. First off, Blakely turned 1! I can't believe how time flies. but seriously, that was the fastest year of my life. I dont know how, but with kids i think the time just never slows down. Which is good..and bad. I can't believe the difference a year makes.

since i haven't really posted since she was born, I thought I'd share a few of my fav pics from the last year, cuz if you're like me, I'd rather see a bunch of pictures than read a huge novel of text...

picture overload? probably!!! little update for anyone that has made it this far and wanting some text... Blakely is now walking! full out. and getting pretty good. She is a bit of a fireball sometimes and I'm worried she is going to be a bit of a spazz like I was. She is such a fast learner and can pick things up from just watching me do it. She is also definately a girl. She loves to brush her hair, use my make up brushes, play with her kitchen, dolls and stuffed animals. She is really friendly and makes friends everywhere we go. She waves to EVERYONE at the grocery store and has started to hug everyone.Blakely loves music and loves to dance and sing. She loves her bunny and teddy and cannot sleep without both of them. Even when I sing her a lullaby at night in the rocking chair we have to have both with us. and since she's getitng so big i can hardly hold all three of them. It's been so much fun to see her personality and watch her grow. and since she just turned one we had a little birthday party for her. thanks to everyone who came! it was so fun to have friends and family here to celebrate with us. can't wait to see what another year brings.
