happy turkey day!

we had such a wonderful feast! nick ( a gourmet chef ) was sweet enough to cook us up some gobble gobble and make some gravy. we had sweet potatoes, fruit salad, honey baked ham, pumpkin pie, apple pie, ice cream and i made some peanut butter cookies with butterscotch morsels! we all feel like we gained at least 5 pounds. ( should have done a weigh in! haha )
thanks for the good time today!

then we ventured outside and took some shots. i will share more as we go thru them!

fall days

it is so pretty today!
trying out the news lens..loving the shallow depth of field in these.

i can't get over how cute callie is!
i just wanted to share my litte sweetie with you all.

it sure has been chilly the last few days! callie and i went outside to play today ( and take some photos- of coarse! )
while carly was sleeping! i had to get her bundled up because it was only like 45 degrees!!

lindsay and callie : )

eleven years

i am so excited to say Happy Anniversary to us ! jason and i have been married for 11 years . friday night we went out to cattle company and ate and ate and ate tehn we had dessert!
i had baked potatoe soup and salmon and rice and veggies and jason had prime rib, rice, veggies, lobster and prawns and then we had a giant brownie with hot fudge sauce and ice cream!!!!!!
what a treat.

after thanksgiving we are back to eating healthy but sometimes it is fun to eat what looks so yummy!

it happened........

okay callie has been trying to open the doors for a little while now, but today it happened.
i was getting ready for the day and callie was in her room playing. then i hear her opening the door and running down the hall and she comes into my room!!! i couldn't believe it.

six hours

wow! i am so excited ~ Carly slept six hours 2 nights now. she is 4 weeks old and growing so big. her normal sleep time is around 3 hours so that has been a real treat!

i've been tagged

my favorite things:
1. i love being up in the mountains where it is really quite and i can see the beauty of what God created all around. it is here where i feel close to Him and i enjoy photographing the natural beauty all around me.
2. my family:
jason~ the love of my life..his zest for life.. humor.. driven .. encourages me to get out of my comfort zone and push the limits.. husband.. father.. friend.. best friend.. i love watching him play with our baby girls. tenderness.. super cute.. makes my heart thump..so many more reasons i am so grateful we are together!
callie~ this girl makes me smile everyday! she brings joy to my heart. i love her little looks. i love her little curls. i love everything about her, she is one really neat little girl. tender. loving. funny. silly. happy. joyful.
carly~ wow, i feel so blessed to have two beautiful baby girls. she is so new, so sweet, smells like a new little miracle. smiley girl.sleepy head. soft. loves me.
3. baby feet:
i just cannot get over the sound of callie running thru the house with her feet going pitter patter down the hall. it is music to my ears. i am excited to watch carly get bigger to join her sis in running thru the house and getting into everything. they sure are keeping me busy!
4. my photography gift:
i thank the Lord for all of the blessings in my life, but i am so grateful for an eye to capture some very beautiful moments i have seen. i truly think life looks so much sweeter thru my lens and it is what i get to share with others.
5. the fall season:
my favorite time of the year. it is so beautiful everywhere you look. the colors of the leaves. the coolness in the air.
getting to wear warm and cozy clothes.
6. the beach:
i love getting to relax on vacation and feel the warmth of the sun and the sand between my toes. jason and i would love to move to hawaii some day to enjoy that feeling every day and have our girls become surfers. we love laying on the beach with no cares in the world. falling asleep next to the ocean from the sound of the waves crashing. things will be different now with having two kiddos, guess we can't just fall asleep at the beach anymore!
7. friends:
i love my friends. i wish i had more time to really hang out with them. that is a goal of mine to make time for others.
8. music:
i just love it! worship at church, feeling like it is just me and God to go thru a millon thoughts.

Lindsay

yeah! it happened!

finally we got callie to sleep in her new big girl bed!
after a week of her playing around and not staying in her bed, she is now staying in there!
it was bad, she would cry, fuss, kick, scream, kick the walls, bang on the door : )
yell mum mum! then she would fall asleep on the floor ( i know how sad! )

yeah! we are so relieved that it isn't a fight any longer.
