I am a KLUTZ!

Gosh, no mystery where Maxton gets it from!

Last night, when I got up in the middle of the night with Aubrey, not sure what time it was, probably around 1:00, I went to get a diaper to change her. They were in the closet with the door shut and there is some stuff in front of the closet door that prevents it from opening easily--her crib is in my scraproom, so it's boxes of scrappy stuff that need to be put away.. So, I open it, however, being extremely tired and out of it, I simultaneously tried to put my head into the closet. My head, just above my left eye, hit the door and bounced off and hit the door frame with my right temple. Yikes. I screamed, but I was proud, no cursing. I usually yell d#mn it! I have two very tender spots on my head, though no bruising so far.

Otherwise, we are doing great. I'm still adjusting to David having a 2nd job, but the kids are doing much better now too. Plus, we are just about done with our Christmas shopping and I had an excellent birthday. My parents were amazingly generous! I'm also excited because I've been saving up for a new lens and I'm just about there! YIPPEE! I broke my 50 mm 1.8 f, which totally stinks, 'cause I'm back using my kit lens and it's really not that great. I did some reading and apparently that lens I broke is pretty cheaply made (it was under $100, I think I got it for like $60), of course, it probably would have lasted longer if I didn't drop it on the office chair leg. . .

Before I forget, a Mormon funny. . .

So, last week, we went to two weddings. Xander was very confused by this, as he thinks everyone gets married in the LDS temple, so he just didn't understand why we were going to weddings that didn't happen in the temple. So, I was explaining to him and Maxton that in order to go to the temple, you have to do certain things, like keep the Word of Wisdom. So, it goes something like this:

Me: You have to follow the Word of Wisdom, which means you should eat good foods and not drink coffee or tea or alcohol.

(From the very back of the van) Maxton: Or marshmallows without asking.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!

Xander also wants to know if you're not supposed to drink tea, how do you have a tea party?
I told him we could use chocolate milk. ;)

Some pictures of Aubrey





I really love having a little girl! She is very hard to photograph though. She is quick and her expressions change very fast. I'm never sure if I got what I think I got! She is dang cute though and sooo sweet. She's smiling at her brothers in these.

A Fairy Tale Wedding

Sooooo, this past week, my aunt Dixie got married, sort of spur of them moment (they'd been engaged a while, so cheering that it happened!) and Melissa was going to shoot their wedding, but since Miles is only a bitty guy, she thought she wouldn't be able to do it and so I said I would. Even though it made me horribly nervous. I wish I had my tripod. Anyway, here are a few of my favorite shots. I hope they are okay--wedding photos are very tricky and the lighting was not great. Tell me what you think.

Photo Shoot with Miles






He is just THE SWEETEST THING! He's so tiny compared to Aubriana and has the softest skin. He's just a doll and I had a blast shooting him.
