Baby Bump

So being a photographer, I have always wanted some cute prego pictures. I was never able to get them done with Maddy so I really wanted some with this little one. But a big problem... it is kind of hard to take pictures of yourself :) Now that I have family with me, I thought it was a great time to have a little mini session.


I love these pictures. Being pregnant is so amazing to me. Having a special baby growing inside me is such a miracle. I am so blessed to be able to be a Mom. It is the best thing in the world.

Casey was able to come up last weekend and it was great. We miss him so much and can't wait to be together in a month. We love you Dad.

Maddy and her lovely green fingernail polish. Such a funny little girl.

Easter

What a wonderful Easter once again. It all started on Sat. morning with a little Easter Egg hunt. Maddy had a blast until the end and then we had a little break down. But that is to be expected with a 3 year old. We spent the rest of the day chill'n with Tysha, so fun.
Sunday we went to church and than came home and had a mini egg hunt for Maddy. We than had Easter dinner with Nic and his family. It was a great. The only thing that would have made it better is if Casey was with us.....only one month left.
Here are some pictures of Maddy and her Easter dress. She did not want any pictures taken all she wanted to do was dance... so that is what we got, a couple mean faces and a couple dance pictures. Silly Maddy.

It is a BOY!!!

Last Wed. we found out that we are having a little boy. We are super excited and a little nervous, a boy is uncharted territory for us but could not be happier.

Most important though the doctor said that as far as she can see our little boy looks healthily.

Maddy was not too happy about the news. She wanted a little sister. When I told her he was a boy she said, "nope Mommy, try again, I want a girl not a boy" After I explained all the fun stuff we can do with a little boy she hesitantly said "ok we don't have to take him back to the store and get our money back, we can keep him." Apparently I return to much stuff, so sad that my little 3 year old knows what a refund is, he he.

Other exciting news ...... Maddy and I are now in UT with Mom and Tysha until Casey graduates. June 17 he is counting down the days. Our lease came up on our apartment and there was no since of signing a new one because they only do 12 month contracts. So I am in UT and Casey is staying with his friend in AZ. We hate being separated but this time it is only 2 months.

Sweet Tysha flew out and drove us back to UT. We spent a couple days in Vegas and had such a great time. I will post pictures later.

CATCH'N UP!

Wow! where does time go? I can't believe it is already February. Crazy Crazy !!!

In perfect Eilisa fashion I am now just getting around to posting our Christmas Pictures.

So here is a quick recap of the last 2 months....

We had an amazing Christmas, one we will never forget and made a ton of wonderful memories.
Love, Love being with family. Maddy wasn't into Christmas morning at all! She is such her mom's little girl and is not a morning person at all. It was fun watching my Niece's open their gifts and seeing their faces. Maybe next year Maddy will be a little more into it. (We can always hope :)

Maddy has been so cute lately and such a good little poser for me when I take her pictures. I wanted to share some fun ones we took at the park a couple weeks ago.

Maddy and I made some cake balls for her friends they were so fun. She was such a good little helper.

We are going to be moving into a house in a couple weeks. Our Apartment contract is up so we needed to find a place that would work with us while we are still in school. We were so blessed to find this amazing house and wonderful owners that were so sweet and understood what we were going through. They just happened to be Members and also the Husband was from Alabama and the wife was from Utah. It gets even more crazy the Husband served the same mission as Casey in Utah and they actually knew of each other. Wow what a small world hu?

So that is my unorganized recap.. Hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day

Dreams do Come True

Last week was such a great week. To start off the amazing week my wonderful husband bought me the best Christmas gift ever... tickets to the a NFL football game. Now those of you who know me know that I am a freak about football. I LOVE IT! I have never been to a pro game but always knew one day it would happen and it did. To top it off not only did I get to go the game but it was my favorite team in the world the Denver Broncos. I was in heaven, I honestly had to choke back the tears when we walked in the stadium. I know I am a weird one. So if that wasn't enough we were on the 9th row. 9th row. Can you believe it. I swearer I felt like I could reach out and touch the players. SO AMAZING. I have the best husband in the world and was so happy that we got to go together. Oh and another on top of that Casey also bought me an authentic John Elway jersy to wear to the game. I know I am such a lucky women. Now the one bad part was that in all my excitement I forgot to take my camera. Yeah I know. IDIOT! But we did have our trusty phones so we took a ton of pictures with them. Now if we can just figure how to get them off the phones and on to the computer he he. As soon as we do I will load them, don't you worry :)
That was the first half of the amazing week the second half was also great. I was finally able to buy my new camera YIPEE! with all my bows that I had sold I had enough money to pay for it. I was so so happy. I wasn't quit able to get the camera I had my heart set on but. And before I got the camera I bought I started to have doubts but once that baby arrived and I held it for the first time I knew it was meant to be :) No seriously I am so so so happy with this camera. It is the Canon 7d. I was aiming for the 5d mark ii but just couldn't see myself paying and extra grand for it when there wasn't that many differences that I saw. So to break it in I had 3 photo shoots last week. They were all great and I was extremely happy to be shooting again. I love being a photographer it truly is a part of me.
The rest of the amazing week was just great because I was able to spend a ton of time with Maddy and not worry about bows just spending a ton of time with her.
Wonderful Wonderful week!
Happy Holidays to everyone!
Daddy was taking a nap...... Maddy had other plans.

My new love! The Canon 7d

Santa and Photo Shoot

My sister-in-law had her work Christmas party and was so sweet to invite us. It was so fun. We had a huge breakfast of coarse Jolly old Santa was there and than they had cookie decorating. Uunfortunately I don't have a picture of the cookie Maddy decorated because I was a bad Mommy and accidentally dropped it, whoops.

Friday I had a photo shoot with my niece and nephew. It haven't had one in about 7 months and it felt so good to shoot again. My Camera acted up only a few times, not bad for old Betsy (my Camera). Hopefully soon we will be able to afford my dream camera. Fingers Crossed
