2015 thus far!

My updates have been lacking lately. It's pretty awful of me because I know so many of you like to check in on us via my blog. As most of you know, this past summer I started this "tiny" little dream of  mine that just so happens to be filling my days, which have turned into weeks and now I have bookings all the way through September! It's pretty amazing, I almost feel like I can call myself a photographer now! I have truly been loving every minute of it! Pen is adjusting to not always having my full attention and Michael has cut back on his overtime at work to be able to entertain her while I, dare I say, work?! It's a pretty exciting time in our lives, finally settled into our home, chasing around a sweet and spunky 19 month old and getting ready to file our taxes with the addition of our new business this year! It's been so long since I've been on here so I should share a couple of pictures of Mike's 30th, Christmas and some more recent snaps! Here we go! 

I really hate throwing parties...(anyone who knows me, knows that's a joke). So for Mike's 30th birthday I kept it pretty low key....(kidding). I threw him a casino night! It was so much fun with our friends and family! My dad and brother even drove 6 hours round trip to attend! I made little party favor bags with cigars, scratch tickets and little bottles of booze. We played dice and cards and had a great time! 

My dad came with gifts, as usual! 

The next morning, lounging with her uncle.."uncle puppy" according to Pen.

A fun party for our favorite guy! Now onto Christmas...if I wasn't so lazy I would upload pictures from my camera but there are so many so here we have a couple of phone snaps and then some pictures of my family that I took in billings!

Now onto some more recent times..

Recently my grandpa had heart surgery, we made the trip up for some support, my grandpa was tickled to see miss P. He is doing well. 

I have been busy with my Valentine's Day sessions but this has to be my favorite little client of all! She pays in kisses, of course! 

Mike couldn't believe how grown up she looked when he saw this picture. I'd have to agree. She is sure getting big! She is saying "baby, kitty, puppy, papa, hey, dada, shoes, yay, please, woof, moo, baaaaaa, meow, raaahhhrrr, duck, ball, tickle and I may be forgetting some! She loves running around chasing her kitty and eating ALL day long. Seriously, we are feeding her, constantly. Haha! Her newest favorite thing to do is read books. I have read to her in the past but now she is very interactive, which is fun! We are enjoying watching her grow and have no plans on adding another anytime soon, which we have been getting asked a ton lately! I love how self sufficient and independent she is becoming and then other times it makes me want to cry but I am mostly loving it! 

We hope every one had a great holiday season and I will make it a goal to update more often!
