Paris

We are back ... Oh before I forget happy 24th to all you in Utah and all who celebrate it.

This is going to be a short blog tonight. we just got back from our trip and I am exhausted but I wanted to post some pictures.
Paris is gorgeous. Unlike any place I have been too. I didn't take a ton of pictures like I usally do and there is a reason but I will tell you all about it in the next post.
I love you all so much and hope you are having a wonderful day.
Set back and enjoy the pictures.

Eiffle Tower

Just like in the movies. Beautiful!

Madison in the Louvre. Thought she would try to help out by looking at the map and since we weren't having any luck we let her have a go at it.

Good news and Bad news

Hello all! How has everyone's week Been? Mine was a little crazy. My close close friend Karen left this week so that has been extremly hard. They PCS'd (military word for got assigned to a new base). I have seen her and talked to her almost everyday for 3 years and now she is gone. It is tough. She would always say to me "My day just dosen't feel complete unless I talk to you or see you." I will miss her so much.



Casey started his leave on Wed. a day later than we thought but at least he is on leave. It has been great! He has helped a lot with maddy giving me a little break just to chill. He is the best.

Now on a negative note my sweet baby got a hold of my external hard drive where I keep all, I say all my pictures and scrapbooking stuff (it is basically my life when it comes to my computer) and she droped it. It is not working at all. I am so scared it has all my professional pictures on it all Maddy's pictures since she was a day old, all my traveling pictures. everything. We took it into the computer guy and Casey keeps reasureing me that nothing will be lost so that is the only reason I am abole to stay some what calm about the situation. Pray for my hard drive will ya? he he he.



Well I must end with some good news. Last night I booked our hotel for Paris. I am so exctied. We leave on Wed and are coming back on Thursday. I know short hu? I am happy though, because Casey realy dosen't care to go at all so I will take the 2 days and run with it. He is not much of a traveler but I keep telling him this is a once in a lifetime oppertunity so I am making him take me.


Daddy is my Favorite toy...........

Last pictures of Ireland

Ok guys I am sure you are sick of all these Ireland pictures so I promise these will be the last. These were not taken by me we actually met another photographer and he so kindly said he would love to take our pictures. So these are the ones he took of all of us. I did post all my 170 pictures on my pro site if you want to see more.
Well not much is happening. On Tuesday Casey starts his 15 day vacation so that will be good. I think we are going to try to go to Paris.
Well I hope you all had a great weekend.

First Steps!!

Maddy took her first steps yesterday. I almost cried. She was so proud of herself. I can't believe it, it seemed like yesterday she just learned to crawl. My baby is growing up.

Here are some pictures I took of Maddy today. She is wearing the cutest little shirt I bought her in Ireland. She is so adorable.

I was telling her no in this picture. She thinks I am funny. Got to work on that.
Coming to get you!!!
Can you read it?

Ireland again

More pictures!!!!!!Dublin.

Our 4 leaf clover.

Giants Callsway so so amazing!!

This is the rope bride we went across it was so scary but so beautiful. I wasn't sure if I was going to laugh or cry.
This is me shooting a bow and arrow in a castle. I totally stunk! My first 3 shots I hit the wall by the 4 shoot I finally got it on the board


Thank you all for your sweet comments of my photos!! Isn't Ireland beautiful. I had such a blast. We did so much in just three days. My favorite part had to be the live Celtic dancing not only was it amazing but my friend Karen was chose to get up and dance with them. It once in a lifetime opportunity. So was amazing. They first day we stayed in Dublin and toured the city. They second day we went to the Giants Callsway. It is right on the coast. It has thousands of these huge rocks. I never thought rocks were that interesting until I went here. wow! it was amazing. The third day we went to a rope bridge, the road of trees and the bellfast Castle.
This is just a random picture I took a couple days ago. I wanted to get a pro picture of Madison's blessing dress. But Maddy wanted to help and insisted she needed to wear it. She would go up to the dress, pull it down and hold it to her chest. It was so cute.

Amazing Ireland!!

Hello everyone, and happy late 4th of July. I hope you all had a good one.
Well as you all know I went to Ireland this past weekend. It was amazing. At first it was extremely hard to leave my baby. It was the first time I have left her for more than a couple hours. I cried the whole way to the airport but once we got going I was a lot better. I did miss her a ton though.
We saw everything I ever wanted to see and more. We saw live Celtic dancing, Scottish band, shot a bow and arrow. We saw amazing scenery, such as the giants callsway, the coast, castles and much much more. To top it all off we even got mooned by a drunk'n Irish man. It was so great. I could go on and on but I am kind of in a hurry I have a couple photo shoots so maybe more stories tomorrow. I wanted to at least load a couple breath-taking pictures so you can all get the idea of what I saw.
