Lately. . .

-Lyla helps out in the kitchen. 
- Evelyn had a Christmas program at school that was to die for. I don't have photos cause I just did video on my camera! !
- We were so indecisive about our boy's name and we just keep going back to Hudson Todd and I love it more every day.  It is the only one we really can agree on and we have liked it for years. .. So why not.  I am having fun getting things ready for him too. I can't wait to meet him! !
-I have found a new fav house again. The house plan is s little hard to figure out.  But we are anxious to get the process going asap. Before summer hopefully! !

Photography

I am in photography heaven.  I was able to get two new lenses for my bday and Christmas this year.  When we were staying at Josh's for Thanksgiving this year.  My brother in law Sterling told me about a place called Pictureline that lets you try out lenses before buying.  Trent took me there and we worked it out.  They are not cheap.!! So I had been saving for a while and selling stuff I had.  I also sold my old lens and shipped it off to California today. It was a great lens but not for my style of shooting. After lots of research I had decided on two new ones.  The Canon 50mm 1.2 and the Canon 135mm. . . Which is my favorite poor of the two.  I had the funniest shoot yesterday with Kylee's kids and my new stuff.  Well worth every penny for sure. Doing photography fills a hole in my life and makes me so happy.  I love doing kids and am focusing on that the most now! They aren't always the easiest subjects to shoot but man it is worth it when I have got the shot!! That happened yesterday many times and I love to see myself improving. 
I was also able to score some pretty neat props for newborns from another photographer.  Sweet💗

Lyla's Bday ...

Yes I am a bad mom and just remembered I never posted Lyla's bday. Which was in July and very sad I forgot. Sorry little one! Her cake was made by the very impressive Audrey Lytle, who is moving and my girls are in cake sadness. She has made their b-days so special!!
Lyla,  I am so grateful to be your mother. You are such a delight to have in our family and you make us laugh every single day. You have a stubborn side but I love how sensitive you are too. Your dimples and squishiness are my favorite. Thanks for the awesome hugs and always forgetting to say the 2nd letter in just about every S word. Stop=sop Skin=sin Squishy=swooshy etc. I can't wait for you to become a big sister to this little boy.
