Newborn Pictures

I have never had professional newborn pictures taken. While pregnant I really wanted to and then once she was born I kind of changed my mind. I didn't want to spend the money on it and didn't think I could find the time to fit it in. Well Fotofly decided to train some new photographers and do sessions for half price so I signed up, I was shocked to have gotten an appointment since they only did it for two weeks. Well I decided since it was the week of Valentines to also get some of all the kids and surprise Andrew. So the day came to do it and I was just getting the kids all ready and was about to feed Addie since we had an hour to be there. Well Andrew calls and says the someone was Fotofly was trying to get a hold of me to talk about my sesssion. So there goes that surprise! I acted like I had totally forgot in hopes of maybe keep it somewhat of a surprise. Well my session had somehow been switched from a training one to an outdoor one and it caught the photographer eye since I signed up for a newborn session and it February in Utah so I probably really didn't want an outdoor session. Well they had nothing left for the two weeks and I was pretty sad but he worked with me and had me come down later that day. So I rushed Ella to dance and then rushed to get them done getting there a couple minutes late. They were so nice and the owner and other photographer helped the girl that was training that did my pictures. They stayed open an extra hour just to fit me in! It was a great experience and the kids did really well. We got done so late and Andrew was trying to find out where I was so it didn't end up being a surprise but he still got some prints for his gift! I loved the way they turned out and am so glad I have them now!

Week 2

Our second week was a lot like the first one, a lot of staying home, visitors, and relaxing!
That Friday Andrew had the day off so we surprised the kids and took them to see Frozen (again!) but this time the sing a long. They were excited when it started since we hadn't told them what we were seeing! Addie did great and didn't make a sound and we all enjoyed yummy movie snacks!

Week 1

Our first week was just what it should be, exciting, tiring, amazing, etc. We adjusted pretty well and had lots of help! We had amazing meals brought in and lots of visits from family and friends. We didn't leave our house for about 4 days ( it started to show, the kids were really crazy!) and when we did leave we just went to my moms! We spent lots of time watching movies and just spending time together as a family!





I came back into the room and this is what I saw. I couldn't stop the tears and overwhelming feeling of how blessed we are. I love these three! They love her so much and are always so concerned about her!
 She got dressed for church her first Sunday and then waved goodbye to the others as they left and actually went to church!

Going Home

On our way home from the hospital on the 29th! We went and picked up Ella and Easton from my sister and then stopped by Village Baker for a yummy sandwich on our way home!
