Picture Book

My good friend Chauntelle gave Katie this little photo album thing when she was born and I just now put pictures inside. It's really fun and she totally loves it cuz she can chew on it but the pictures don't get wet. Thanks Chauntelle.

This is Daddy, Mommy, Kevin and Katie
Aunt Mandy... I mean Queen Amanda
Both Grandparents
Katie is of course the front cover and she just happens to be wearing the same shirt in both the picture and the picture of a picture.

Katie's Room

I am ashamed to admit that Katie's room is STILL NOT COMPLETED. I know I know she will be 8 MONTHS old on Monday... I'm crazy. But it is almost there. I just need to do two more things then it will be done. She might be a toddler when it is all finished but I will do my best to get there.
I knew before we ever got pregnant with Katie that I wanted a Damask print combined with another color (I really wanted it to be a boy so that I could do green and damask) Then I thought I would do red or purple but when I saw this room at Carousel Designs I LOVED it but couldn't fork over the money for it, so I worked it out with my beautifully talent client Jillayne that I would do her hair if she would make the bedding for me. YEAH!!! Doesn't it look great. My wonderful sister in law Summer provided the vinyl for us and the rocking chair in the corner is Adam's Mom's from when her kids were little. I really love the way it is coming together and I am so glad I went with pale yellow rather than the deep red that I originally wanted because she is so delicate and petite I think the yellow just fits her personality.












Sidenote... LOOK AT HER PONYTAIL!!! So much fun.

Our latest St. George Trip

We went to St. George for the Memorial Day weekend but also because my brother Collins got remarried (unfortunately I don't have any pictures from that b/c I forgot my camera that day).
It was really fun to see family and celebrate our birthdays (mine was the 25th and Adam's the 29th).
Our good friends The Thompsons came down on Friday night to Saturday evening which is quite the feet considering they have 4 month old TWINS. I just want to relay a quick story involving the following picture.

This is Cooper Thompson and Katie just chillin'. We didn't know what Katie's intentions were until after we heard Coopers sad little scream. Nor did Katie know that biting Coopers fingers when she has two bottom teeth would hurt him. It was really sad, he really cried and I felt horrible. After that he didn't want to lay next to Katie, I can't say I blame him.

We did finally get him calmed down enough to get one good shot of them together, however you can see Coopers body language is like "Get her away from me"

Unfortunately we did NOT get a shot of all 4 of our kids together. I still can't believe how horrible I have become with remember to take pictures, or maybe it just cuz I am too busy juggling TWO kids.
