March photo shoot

I wanted to get Brynn in to have some pictures taken in her baptism dress so I decided to take all the kids along and have pictures of each of them done. I took them to Camera Shy in Orem since they did our family pictures a few years ago and I really liked those. I am happy with the pictures, although I have decided I definitely like outdoor pictures over indoor pictures.

Molly-12 years old

*I had a hard time finding something for Molly to wear-she definitely does not like anything that could seem remotely frilly or fancy or ruffly. She is at a hard, in-between age with clothing-everything is too grown-up and mature or too young and childish. I finally found this blue top for her at Old Navy and she thought she would like it when I brought it home. Then she tried it on and decided the sleeves were definitely too ruffly. I was desperate and had no other time to find anything for her, so we tucked the tag in and returned it after pictures were done. That might be horribly dishonest but she said she would never wear the shirt again and I didn't want to spend money on a new shirt for about 45 minutes of time!*

Anyway, she looks much too grown-up in these pictures!

This one is my favorite of her!

Stockton-9 years old

Sure love this guy and so glad we have him in our family! He always photographs well.

I love his face in this one.

Brynn-8 years old

Baptism pictures-

Brynn went shopping with my mom for her baptism dress. She tried on a bunch and narrowed it down to two. My mom tried to sway her to the less fancy one but Brynn ended up picking the fancier one, to no one's surprise. When I saw her in it, I thought it fit her personality perfectly. She felt beautiful and special in it and I was happy she was so happy with it.

She thought these silouhette's were so fun and neat!

Ivy-4 years

Group shots-

I don't know what these kids would be like without each other. I know that they are constantly shaped by each other and I am grateful that they have each other to grow up with.

This is totally staged but I think it is pretty cute.

I didn't realize Ivy's sandals were so small until I put them on her that night at the studio!

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...
