Mother's Day came early for me this year. My wall of pictures still have Chirstmas pics up and I NEEDED to have spring/summer pics done. Thanks to a foxy husband and willing children, all of my dreams came true. I am going to enlarge a few of these to display in my booth at the craft fair at Hunter Elementary this Friday. Your opinions are welcomed.

One more chair. I have to quit doing this! Really, Spencer is going to KILL me if I don't quit collecting photo props. We have our tentative/official move date, June 15th! We are starting to rent a house in Rexburg already so we will move about a week after school gets out. I have sessions scheduled this summer and fall so I will be back and forth a few times. We still don't have any bites on our house yet. It boggles my mind. It doesn't necessarily bother me, it just makes me wonder how low the price has to go for this house to be "worth" it. We will see!!!

Look at what I can do! I am super excited about these. I got my hands of 4 of these bad boys. After doing two, I am giving the other two up for adoption. I am happy with what I did, but I am SERIOUSLY behind on the laundry and have got to get started on house packing.

I am just dieing to have a newborn lay in one of these chairs with one of my hats. Any volunteers?

A bit of magic happened last weekend. We were in Rexburg visiting family and looking around for housing. One night we went over to a friends house and long story short, a photo session was scheduled for the next day. This babies mama is Ticia, kinda fell in love with her. I can't wait to post the dress is she making for Mady. Anyway, she had this cool blanket that I loved and I had yarn to match it so a coordinating hat was made. My sis Steph made the letter for baby Magnum, isn't is seriously AWESOME!!!!! It is times like this that helps me through another day. It honestly feels magical to me. We have so much that can bring us down and we do our very best to think of the bright side. Moments like this help bring me back to help me realized how blessed I am to be in the position that I am.

WE HAVE BUNNIES! These are my cousin's girls that let us adopt the bunnies. We took these pics at her house. Don't you want to love on the bunny? Her name is Helga because she is our biggest one. The KIDS, OK not all of the kids, CARSON is having so much fun playing with them. Too bad they are all going to find new homes before Easter. Helga has already been spoken for, sorry.

Is your home facing the trails that we are? We have FCF now and it won't go away. FCF is a new condition called Foster Child Face. My children are inflicted from in a few times a year. Sometimes I feel like I do all I can to prevent it, but FCF will show up, especailly after vacations, camping and long days in the summer sun. As a photographer, I can only do so much photoshopping FCF withough distorting Carson's face. So, what am I to do? Simple solution, cover the dang thing up and turn it black and white!
Happy April Fools!
