My Favorite

I have a new favorite picture of me and the silly little moose baby and have to share it because he's so stinkin adorable putting his paw on momma's arm to pose and everything....


we took him to the dog park today to run out all his puppy energy since he'll be stuck in a car for over 40 hours to go get Dixie tomorrow. We found a new one much closer than the one we had been taking him to, it's not as nice just an open area with other dogs but he loves it the same and I love how close it is! It will be fun to take our matching pair when she's old enough!

I got them both the cutest stockings ever the other day and found a lil hoodie for dixie which turns out to be the same one moose had but pink instead! it's the cutest and I can't wait to put her in it! Moose was so adorable in his! This is him in his...this is one of our favs of him as a baby, he has the string in his mouth and that just makes the picture because he was so cute hiking around with it in his mouth the whole time...


We went to pick out her collar today and I got a pink one with heart shaped diamonds! :) Oh having a girl is gonna be so fun! Andy just rolls his eyes and is convinced that 2 will be the worst thing ever but we'll see! I think it will be good for Moo to have somebody to play with and not be so sad when we leave for work because he won't be alone... When we come back I'll have plenty of pics to share of Dix and christmas! Hope everyone has a very merry Christmas!

Happy birthday to Andy! ...and some pics of Dixie...

Today was Andy's birthday! but the poor guy is in Texas working and has came down with the same thing i've had for the last 2 weeks so he's sick and on a tough job this week :( sounds a lil like the birthday I had this year too! I so hate that he's not here on his birthday and I don't even get to see him. We had a lil dinner for him on Sumday with our new friends down the street. We made some tacos and enchiladas and got this cute cupcake that I put all 24 candles on of course but then made brownie sundaes for desert because Andy looooooves his brownies! Evan, Dan & Kristin's handsome lil guy had to sit on andy's lap to help him! He's one and so so cute!! He loves moose but can't really talk that much besides the momma and dada's but he tries to say moose and it comes out "mmmmmmmmm" hehe so flippin adorable! here's Andy bowin out the 24 candles on his birthday (cup)cake!
andy makin a silly face...like always!



Oh and on to our sweet Dixie! The sweet people we are getting her from sent me lotsa pics tonight and I have to share!! I would die to be in the middle of all those sweet lil black & tan coon babies!! so gushy and sweet! goodness I can't wait to hold her! I was lookin through some pics of Moosey last night and it made me sad to see how much he's grown so fast! worse than kids, it sucks! but i also remember how exciting it was when he learned how to do new things! it was so not exciting when he learned how to open doors and jump over doggy gates though let me tell you!! that was more like a horrible dream!!!! So here's the pics of our sweet Dixie and some of her "birth" family (haha)



her birth family with all her siblings


and I had to make this to see the 2 side by side at the same age to see the differences...these are the pics that both the different breeders sent us before we got them..how strange that they are exactly 365 days apart?! love them!!

oh but I messed up this is them at 5 weeks but I'm too tired to change it right now...


okay and just so moo knows I love him and he's still my baby here's some good night kisses! xoxo

recent photo shoots

So I thought I would share some of the pictures I've been doing since I've been building my portfolio so I can get a web site and all that fun stuff going....











that's enough for now... let me know what you think!!

it's OFFICIAL!!!!

meet our newest addition....

DIXIE



we pick her up in Oregon a few days before Christmas (she's mine and moosey's christmas present!) she even has the same exact birthday as Moose!! they were born 365 days apart! It was all so meant to be!!! you can expect all kinds of new pictures of her once we get her!!!! gosh i'm so excited me and moo did a lil dance and everything!! oooooo I can't wait!!!

another quick Cali trip!

This thanksgiving was so so different then I'm used to! It was the first Thanksgiving that I did not see a single member of my family (besides my 2 boys of course!) but no mom, no mickle, no grandma, nobody! Ooooh Arizona! I did however make my first turkey and I'm super sad because it got cut before I could even take a picture of it! but it was yummy! No thanks to Andy who didn't help me pull all the yucky stuff out of the poor guy! stinker!!! so I used salad tongs instead ;) Andy was home all week which was nice for him but i still had to work but it sure was nice to feel his toes under the covers for a whole week!! Saturday after I got off work we went up to Big Bear (yes all the way back to cali) because Sunday Andy's mom was doing dinner up there. And of course while we were there I made the boys do some pics hoping to get at least 1 good one for a christmas card. I don't know what I would do without tripods and self timers!! hehe I'll share a few... Andy took some of me and my moosey baby too!




And I'm really excited because next week I have 4 photo sessions and 2 of them are newborns!!! I can't wait...one of them is only 1 week old! I have other pics I've done recently to share too but maybe later....

oh and one more thing... as I said before Angel is home but is not done with his recovery, please pray for him still as his health is not so good right now and for the family for some other burdens that have been placed on them recently...Thank you! xoxo
