It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...

I honestly was not planning this photo op. I had coincidentally dressed Kaitlynn in red this morning, had her playing with Christmas colored balloons earlier today, and then we were plugging in Christmas lights and she put them around her neck!
I could not resist the perfection of the moment!!  

Of course I took a million, but here are some other favorites...

I don't know why, but this one makes me chuckle..
I think it's just the way she's straightening her legs and pulling the string tight, it makes me think:
"HULK SMAAASSHH" haha

Not sure what she was doing in this last one, but it looked like she was planning on napping with the Christmas lights :)

Hope you are all enjoying the beginning of the holiday season! :)

There is beauty all around, when you walk in Fall!

I have been unfaithful to my blog recently, we have moved, began new callings in church, still have been settling, and are now expecting our second Little One! :)

So many happy things, (and I hope to update a little on some of these subjects soon) but, in the meantime, just wanted to share some pictures of our family walk the other day :) 

Also, *blast from the past* you may not, but if you have been following my blog for a long time, you may remember Kaitlynn's first Autumn picture...

Well, it wasn't planned, but amazingly enough, her second year of autumn I caught a similar shot! =D
..This may have to become a tradition :)

I love Fall!

I Finally Graduated!! :D

Well, it's about time it happened!! 

I finally graduated from BYU Idaho!! 

(I have no idea why this font is so ridiculously big, but I can't figure out how to change it, nor do I want to waste the time doing so, so there you go- we'll just say it's for added emphasis of how great it is that I graduated)

Well, I got in my wizards outfit..

we had commencement in the new BYU-I center..

Had to of course take the traditional picture with my baby...

Got the empty book for when the diploma actually comes in..

 

became "part of the legacy"...

held my baby after the ceremony...

and my other baby :)

thanked Liz for watching my tired baby during the late ceremony..

Took a picture on campus of the last day I actually had to be on campus,
with that amazing Idaho sunset

Started the goal for Kaitlynn's future :)
(I think my eyes look kinda freaky in this picture, but aside from that, the picture's cute!!)

And of course ended the day with some fireworks :)

I DID IT!!!!

Do I feel accomplished?
Why yes, yes I do.

Happy 1st Birthday My Kaitlynn Girl!

We had a "Very Hungry Caterpillar" themed birthday for Kaitlynn's first year celebration. There were too many pictures that I loved, so I basically put the entire folder of pictures on here- Enjoy!

 

I know, Kaitlynn's blinking, but the picture is too cute otherwise, so I had to post it.

Happy Birthday my sweet baby girl! <3
