Visit to the Cowleys

I don't know exactly why we are at the Cowleys  but it looks like we are just playing games and having fun. Love the pictures of hunter with the baby. He is going to be a really good daddy

Photog Sesh

I love it that my boys will humor me and let me take pictures of them. We just did a quick picture session with baby Daphne. Them lovin on her and kissing her. It was so sweet to see and I just loved it.  For cross eyed picture is so funny. I will do another post with another photo session with the other kids and dad featured

Blessing Day

Daphne and Dinah were blessed on the same day in different buildings. But in the same dress. We had a get together after our ward and everybody came over to celebrate. I love the picture of Allison and Ryan and Dinah.  Nathan and I didn't catch a picture like that. Pretty busy with the party and feeding people.

Wyatt graduates Preschool

Wyatt graduated preschool. We had a fun party at Peter piper pizza. Miss Stacy is the most wonderful preschool teacher and we are so grateful that we found her. I often call her and angel on earth. Wesley Burton and why it got to be at her preschool class and I anticipate that and it will also be able to go to her class. Hopefully we will still be close enough for Daphne to go. And if Miss Stacy still has gas in her to go that far. Wyatt's friend Luke P is heavily featured in this post because they were such good friends.

Mother's Day

7 KIDS!

All the kids are finally together. We attempted to do the foot picture. It turned out okay. Maybe later we can try it again and I can really get the vision of what I was trying to accomplish.  Thank you to Leah Davis for the beautiful picture of my kids. This was taken about three or five days after she was born and I was not up for taking pictures.

The boys were immediately smitten with her and loved all her little Coos and happy faces. And they still adore her to this day.

Pregnancy and Birth

The first pictures are at 37 weeks.  

38 and 40 weeks.  Or something like that.  I like my maternity shots.  I usually don't like them very much so I didn't do a photo sesh.  But this was good enough.  You get the idea.  yes  yes you were very large with child.  

I love these bathtub images that Shannon Williams did for me.  She is amazing.  I will always cherish these images.  Thankyou so much

The birth went amazingly well and quick. I gave lots of details in my personal journal and won't worry about reiterating it. I had lots of support but mainly I really depended on myself and I did hypno birthing which was immensely helpful. I was able to relax and she came pretty quickly. We pretty much instantly fell in love with her as soon as she was with us. She is an amazing addition to our family. We feel incredibly grateful.
