I don't want to miss a thing

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating

And I'm wondering what you're dreaming

Wondering if its me youre seeing
Then I kiss your eyes

And thank God were together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever


Forever and ever

I don't want to miss one smile

I don't want to miss one kiss

I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this

I just want to hold you close

Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment

For all the rest of time

Kate's First Laugh

Last Friday night we finally heard a real laugh from Kate. Before she would kind of chortle and giggle, but this time she thought her daddy was really funny!

Kate had her 4 month doctor's appointment today. Her stats are:

height: 24.75 inches 75%
weight: 16 lbs 90%
head circumference: 16.75" 90%

I have a very cute and chubby baby! She did really well today, even though she had to get some shots. Dustin was there to help me today, so I actually didn't watch the nurse give her the shots, but that didn't suppress my wanting to punch her in the face for making my baby cry.

I can't believe how big she is already! She still fits into her 3-6 months clothes (sorta) and is now starting to fit into her 6-9 months clothes! I don't like this one bit Kate. Why can't you stay little forever?

I WON!

A couple of weeks ago my good friend Alicia told me to enter a giveaway a photographer friend of hers was doing. Her name is Ashley Madsen and she's amazing! So of course I entered the contest! I entered three times actually. I didn't really think too much of it since I never win anything, so I had totally forgotten about it until I received this text from Alicia this morning at 7:35 am.

"You won! You won the photo shoot! That's the only reason I would text this early!"

We were traveling back from the white mountains. We had woken up at 5:00 am to get on the road. I was very sleepy. At first I just stared at the text message. Then it clicked! I was so excited, and I voiced it. Loudly.

Then we got home and I took Kate to her doctors appointment, feed her, put her to sleep, and anxiously went to Ashley's blog. And it was there. Clear as day. My name on a piece of paper.



YAY!! I won a FREE session, plus a 5x5 album with 10 of our favorite images, PLUS a free 8x10!

I need to schedule my session!

This Weekend

This weekend we are traveling up to the White Mountains yet again for Dustin's birthday. We are so excited to spend the long weekend with family! During the weekend my sister-in-laws and I are going to be selling homemade crafts at Taylor's Sweet Corn Festival, and once again on Main Street of Snowflake on Monday. I have made lots and lots of hair accessories. Here's just a preview:









It's going to be so much fun, and I'm so excited! So if you're going to be in the area this weekend, please come by and see us!

You can see some of the cute things my sister-in-laws have made HERE.

Adorable right?

Hope to see you this weekend!

Dustin gets Dwarfed!

Yesterday Dustin attended a Cardinals luncheon with his work. He was able to sit by Calais Campbell. Not many people can make Dustin seem so small!

Trying to take a good picture

I tried so hard to get a cute picture of Kate smiling on Sunday, but she just did not want to cooperate!







Not even when taking pictures with her cousin Jaylee...




Cousin rivalry, already? She's half smiling after hitting Jaylee in the face. That can't be good...

I did manage to get these two cute pictures.


Adorable.


I just LOVE this picture. Daddies playing with their little girls. Priceless.

Kate's Determination

Kate loves to play in her ExerSaucer. She loves to stand and play with all the toys, but sometimes she gets stuck. Her arm will get stuck in the leg hole, and she can't get it back out. That doesn't deter her from trying to eat her toys though.
