typical saturday morning.

Doesn't everyone 

lay in bed,

in their undies,

and laugh their guts out

on Saturday mornings?

That's normal,

right?

All it takes is a little Rain and a lot of Mud

Never underestimate the power of mud.

My cute friend, Sarah, had the most g.e.n.i.u.s idea to entertain and capture her boys being... well, boys.

We waited patiently for the crazy Vegas weather to cooperate and give us just a little bit of rain.  Once Fall finally realized that October had arrived and it was indeed time for a season change the storm clouds rolled in and we were ecstatic.  And the boys, beyond words.

They were beyond excited and so much fun to watch.  I was the mean mom that made my kids watch jealously from the car until I realized that I wanted to be splashing in the mud too and so let them loose.  My boys stripped their shirts off and rolled, splashed, and squished in the mud until their hearts were content.

It is the small moments that seem to plant themselves so deeply in my heart.  The moments that make me smile.  The moments that I can hear my boys laughter ring in my ears.  The simple moments... that seem even better when accompanied by mud and friends.

It is amazing how easy it can be to make a little boy happy.  All it takes is a little rain, an extra change a clothes and a nice warm bath waiting at home.

The perfect mix

You can never go wrong with a beautiful setting.

The perfect white sun dress.

Beautiful weather.

And the sweetest little girl you have e.v.e.r. met. 

{granted I am a bit biased}

It is the perfect mix.

Read my Lips.

Remember him?

So he is now a whole 6 months old.

Sitting.

Smiling.

Giggling.

Eating his toes.

Drooling.

And still has that sweet bottom lip that likes to stay open.

Love him.

I heart faces: Props

You give 3 boys some bottles of soda and you never know what is going to happen.

We had lots of laughs, a few burps, and some great memories.

A windy Vegas wedding

The day for Emily and Dylan finally arrived.  After much preparation, thought and effort all the pieces and details fell into place.  The only one that didn't get the memo was the wind.  The wind howled all.day.long.   I felt so bad for Emily, who worked so hard to make everything perfect, but she showed no signs of disappointment because she was finally married to the man of her dreams.

 They are such a fun couple and so perfect for each other.  They laughed, they played, they kissed, they stared at each other with googley eyes... it was perfect. 

Emily's details were perfect.  Her bouquet was exquisite.... and it smelled pretty too.  She was absolutely stunning.

And Dylan, he was hilarious.  Such a good sport and so willing to just go with the flow.  There is nothing like having a sense of humor and his was better than ever.

I was also lucky enough to have Sarah Goodsell come along and snap some shots as well.  Such a blast. Check out the fun details she captured here.  She is awesome.

Emily also had all of her friends be her "Something in blue."  She sent them all invitations asking them to be her special something in blue and that she wanted them to show their own personalities with their dresses.  Genius.  They were fantastic girls!

It was a beautiful day.  The only bad part... it's over.  It is always sad when, after months of working together, the wedding comes to an end and I don't get to chat with my cute brides anymore... At least that is until they have a baby :)

Congrats Emily and Dylan, you two are perfect for each other!

Yum.

Don't you just want to eat her all up?

She is pretty much the sweetest thing... ever.
