A Caitlin Day

Today was my Caitee bug's birthday. The big...oh-4!
Yah right! 4 going on 20! Today I seriously had to stop and
think how old she was going to be. Sheesh..some mom
huh?! I blame that mostly on my beautiful, old soul of a
daughter. She's always saying things that normal 4 year
old girls should not be saying. (check out the right side of
this blog...almost all Caitlin)

Ok...let me cut to the chase. I didn't start this post to smear
it with sarcasm. I really just wanted to give my baby girl a
shout out. Here goes....ahem....so, when I was pregnant with her,
I was terrified that I wouldn't be able to love her as much as Ev.
(Of course this made me feel like a slime ball but I'm told it's a normal
feeling.)
I think Heavenly Father blesses moms with a large capacity of the stuff
(love, not slime...eesh you guys!!)
because not 5 minutes had gone by after giving birth before I was
utterly and completely in love with her!

She has been such a wonderful addition to our family...
What a darling girl she is. I'm so grateful to have
been entrusted with her and her old soul.


Happy birthday little lady...I love you so much!

My Family

Believe it or not, but these are my familys' first real
professional portraits! Sure, we've had family pictures
before...you know the kind...with the timer and the
make-shift tripod. Yah, we've had plenty of those! For
some reason none of those turned out quite right...hmm
I wonder why? We have a friend in our ward that just so
happens to be a photographer! A couple weeks ago he
took on our group...bless his heart! My children gave him
a run for his money! All in all I think we ended up with
some really nice shots though! Yay! Now I just need to
decide which ones to print out!
