photo shoot, Feb 2016

It was time to take Ivy in for her one-year photos. I decided to go back to Fotofly, the same place I took the kids last year. I also took Brynn, since her 3-year-old photos happened the day before she turned four and she was almost turning 5 so, technically, she needed her 4-year-old pictures done.

I will say that I was a little disappointed with this set of photos. I think their lighting was off-some pictures they are too washed out and some pictures they have weird shadows on their faces. I was happy with the variety of backgrounds though, and both of the girls were happy to be there so at least I wasn't dealing with grumpy kids.

I wasn't sure how Ivy would do, but she warmed right up to the photographer and seemed to love every bit of it. It definitely was not hard to get smiles out of her. We had a bit of a "wardrobe malfunction"-I bought one of those knot headbands for her but didn't really try it out before so I didn't really know how to have her wear it. It looks a little goofy, but it is what it is. I also wish they would have taken more than one picture of her in her dress (with the normal-looking headband) but that is my fault for not asking for it.

Brynn was excited to take pictures for weeks. Especially when I bought her a bow and a necklace. Justin doesn't like the big hot pink bow, but if you know Brynn at all, you know that it fits her personality to a T. She enjoyed every second we were there.

It was fun to dress the girls up all cutesy and I know I'll be glad I have these pictures to look back on.

Brynn @ 18 months

Yes, you read that right. Brynn is 18 months old!! She is so fun to have around the house and I haven't done a post devoted just to her for a while, so I thought it was about time. -She loves books! She was never really that interested until sometime in the past couple months and now she can't get enough. Sacrament meeting went from impossible to we can make it through...as long as I pack enough books for her. This is how I often find her at night or during nap time. -She also loves blankets and towels, although she is not particular about which blanket. She just wants something soft. She wants to walk around all over with them wrapped around her...they don't stay very well and she gets frustrated. For that reason, I try to keep her blankets out of sight during the day. They come out when it's time to sleep. -Like my other kids, she loves her warm milk! Actually, she'll drink it cold too. -She is a quiet one, always has ...

Stockton's 16th birthday

Stockton turned 16 on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. We've always told him he has the best day to have a birthday but I don't think he was convinced this year. He was anxious to turn 16 and get his license...it really felt like it took forever to get here. I told Justin that Stockton had to wait so much longer than Molly to get his license and he said, "actually, it took the exact same amount of time", which is factually true, it just felt a lot longer with Molly getting her license September of her sophomore year and Stockton not getting his until after sophomore year, before junior year. But, it did eventually arrive and we did our best to celebrate. We did the family celebration the Sunday before, since it was Girl's Camp that week and Justin, Molly, and Brynn would all be gone on his actual birthday. We had his requested dinner, meatballs, and he opened his presents. He got his favorite treats (nerd clusters, sour patch watermelon, and cow tails) and a new bat th...

all about Stockton

Stockton has loved having his license. He enjoys his independence immensely and does not take it for granted, probably because he had to wait for so long. He takes care of his truck, inside and out. He is always willing to run errands for me or take/pick up his sisters when I need him to. He tries to take back roads whenever he can-good thing you can get most anywhere in Heber on back roads. This summer his love for cars has really amped up. He said he's always loved cars but he has just been noticing and talking about them more and more. He will point out a "cool car" whenever we are in the car and has a lot of knowledge about all the different features of the different cars. He has a dream car (can't remember which one) but also knows which color he would get in each of the different kinds of sports cars. He has slowly been buying sports car Lego sets with his birthday money, putting them together, and displaying them in his room. It's fun to see how excited h...
