Is it weird to anyone else when their youngest sibling gets married? Isn’t he still like… I don’t know, 10 years old? We LOVE Ashley. They are such the perfect fit in every way and I can’t wait until she is officially a member of the family. Cara tells me all the time that Ash-a-lee is her “best friend”. Adorable? Yes. I do believe it is. We wandered around the Utah Valley University campus near the library and got some sweet photos. I’ll be posting their awesome video tomorrow, so look for that!

To know she’s my last and watch her grow up is both exciting and sad all at the same time. I have such mixed emotions about my kids getting older. But, then, who doesn’t?! For those of you that don’t remember, Cara’s birth was fairly miraculous. I’m so grateful that she was born healthy, that I was okay and that we both came home from the hospital on time. It could’ve been so much worse.

We have decided that she really is a “silly woman” (which she will tell you on a regular basis). She loves to tease, make silly faces, and talk silly. Sometimes all at the same time. Currently, she is obsessed with Buzz Lightyear (something I find ridiculously adorable) and her favorite color is blue. Recently, she really has loved playing with her older brother and I can even see glimpses sometimes of her little imagination being sparked. Today when she pulled out her 2″ Buzz figurine and Andrew had Zurg – he fired on Buzz and “shot him”. Cara sat for a minute, looked down at Buzz, looked up at Andrew and then said “Buzz is running away! Come get him!” and ran into the other room so Andrew could chase her. I Love moments like that where my children just connect with each other. It makes my heart sing.

Cara also loves her music class,  the plasma car still (and we have at least 3 pairs of ruined shoes to prove it), play-DOH, Duplos, and sleeping in her “fort” that Andrew made for her over her bed.

Although she’s 3 tomorrow we still haven’t made any progress on the potty-training front. As much as I would like to be DONE with diapers its just not happening yet. Sam came up with a great motivational idea today so we might try that in the near future and see if we can make any progress. Mostly I just don’t want to push it and make us both miserable. Our summer is going to be chaotic enough.

I’ll leave you with a few of my favorite photos of her over the last 3 years, because really, what’s a blog post without something pretty to look at?!

Charles & Misty Utah Wedding http://blog.picturememine.com/index.php/2013/05/05/and-im-back-charles-misty-utah-wedding/ http://blog.picturememine.com/index.php/2013/05/05/and-im-back-charles-misty-utah-wedding/#comments Mon, 06 May 2013 04:30:52 +0000 Jess http://blog.picturememine.com/?p=4952 Did you miss me?!?! Oh my goodness that was a nightmare. Long story so ask me sometime if you’re interested in the drama. Short answer is, I’m back up and running and have LOTS of photos to post (I’ve been busy) so check back often and see what I’ve been up to in the last few months.

First up – a sneak peek from Charles and Misty’s Salt Lake City Temple wedding. Wow! This two are stunning! I had the best day with them, and can you believe the WEATHER?!! I think I got a sunburn. It was glorious. At one point near the end of some bride & groom photos Misty just sat on a bench on the temple grounds and soaked up the sun. Ahhhhh… More to follow. I still have to post their First Look and Formal Session. SO BEHIND!! AHHH! Get ready for overload coming your way in 3…2…

Even without a significant other – there’s still friends, moms, dad, siblings lots of people that care! I love it! And congrats to those of you that will get engaged tonight! *wink* Give me a call when you do! :)

Not often enough I set up a shoot just for me and my kids. I get so focused on lifestyle & wedding photography that my poor kiddlets get neglected sometimes. Not the way it should work. So, I hauled out the studio lights and we had a little fun this week. Enjoy!

I loved all the bright colors, light, and greenery inside Cactus & Tropicals. Hopefully the weather for their April wedding will be a lot warmer!

Although it was the middle of winter, as long as we stood in the sun, it wasn’t too cold. Right guys? I loved that Emily brought a red fleece blanket to wrap up  - it accented her colors and just made everything look fabulous. Plus her boots are to DIE for. Loved it all! :) Congrats you two!
