It's been a while since I've written on here, so I just thought I would do a quick update...

Miles is 7-months-old and still not sleeping through the night. He is super cute, sweet, and happy during the day, so I forgive him for my sleep deprivation.

Quinn still comes up with crazy-cute things to say constantly! Last night we were in Logan Canyon building a fire to roast some hot dogs. I lifted a large branch up to break off the smaller pieces to get the fire going (it was a big, bushy branch) and Quinn looked at me with huge, wide eyes and said, "Mommy, you maked a tree!"

Travis and I are still busy pretty much always. I have been doing a lot of photography, and I am having a blast with it! I am loving the business end of it as much as the photography, which is awesome!

There you have it.

You's Happy at Me!

Two things I have heard about potty training:

• You can't push it.


• Boys start later and take longer to potty train.

Well, I have decided to push it a little bit! We bought a little potty and we got Quinn some big-boy (Spiderman) underpants. He was thrilled at the idea of being bigger (since he is already 'big')! He sat on that potty for half of the afternoon yesterday with no results...

When he was all ready for bed and the lights were off he told me he wanted to pee on the potty... so we gave it another shot, this time with SUCCESS! We both high-fived and squealed with excitement! We sang Potty-Big-Boy songs at the top of our lungs and danced around the room! Quinn kept saying, "I did it, Mom! I did it!" It was awesome. Then when he was calmed down and ready for bed again he looked at me and said, "You's happy at me, huh?!" Very happy, Quinn, very happy!

I Heart Faces Contest

This weeks contest is all about boys.
The kid entry is one of Miles' 6-month shots that I took this weekend.
My adult entry is Travis doing what he loves to do!

Miles is 6-months-old!

I am CRAZY about this kid! I took his six-month pictures today and we both LOVED it. He is in heaven when Mommy gets direct 100% of my attention at him!

I love this picture! Here he is: in the kitchen, on a huge piece of fabric, with all the windows and door open, crammed inside a giant tea cup, Mommy is laying tummy-down on the floor, and the only question going through his head is, "What's this thing on the end of my leg?"

This is what he thought of being an angel.

And, last but not least, his cute little bare bum!

Watch for more of these on my photography website. I will post them when I have all of them edited!

Awkward

If anyone ever considers sending a photograph I have taken to this site, please contact me first for a full refund!

Quinn Cracks Me Up!

I laid with Quinn before he fell asleep tonight and we talked and talked. Finally, I said goodnight and got up to turn the light off. As soon as I flipped the switch and the room went dark Quinn yelled, "OH NO! MINE EYES ARE GONE!"
