Preview of Family Pictures

We had family pictures taken on Saturday, here are a few that the photographer sent me as a preview. 

I know what you are going to say... We have family pictures taken more than anyone else you know, and we do but I really want to remember, and I know so many great photographers and each has a different look. 

So here they are.

 He was not going to cooperate for pictures... I'm glad a few worked out.

Wished my hair looked better and I didn't have makeup in the corner of my eye, but I think it's cute.

I'm still so in Love!

I'm still so in Love!

With the man that I can't take my eyes off of,
With the man who makes we weak in the knees,

With the man who still gives me butterflies in my stomach,

With the man that makes it all better when I cry,

With the man that works so hard to give me everything I need,

With the man that is an amazing father to my children,

With the man makes me be a better person,

With the man that supports me in so many ways,

With the man that loves me because of my faults,

With the man works hard,

With the man who is constantly trying to be better,

With the man who spoils me,

With the man who tries to do it all,

With the man who tells me I'm beautiful and really believes it,

With the man who gives me encouragement,

With the man who makes me and his family his highest priority,

With the man who makes me smile,

With the man that makes me laugh every day...

Yep, that's him!

My Super Sexy Sam Baugh!

I fell in love with him on September 6th 2002, and haven't stopped falling. I love you Baby!

What I want

I want to be the smile, I want to see the change           
                                                   
I want to be your friend from the start and once it starts it never ends
                  
I want to be your pal I want to be around
                                            
I want to be your friend when you are down
                      
I want to be the sunshine on your smiling face
                                       
I want to be the moon, no, I want to be ocean
                                                     
where all we do is float under the sun on the rolling sea
                                                    
Oh, I want to be the sunshine, no, I want to be the moonshine
                                                 
I want to be the night time lullaby when you're so afraid
                                                       
And I think I found a way to put a smile on your lonely face
                                                 
I think I found a way,  a way to break down all the walls
                  

I think I found a way to say
                  
I think I found a way to say hello 
                                                 
I think I found a way without saying anything at all

I Love my Baugh Boys

We went out to take a few pictures for the Grandparents Christmas Presents and I love this one. I'm so in love with my Baugh boys. So different, but so perfect! I'm the Luckiest!


I'm so excited for how the rest turned out they are totally different but are perfect for the present. But I can't put them on here because the Grandparents read it and I don't want them to see their present before Christmas. And I even let Sam take a picture with me in it. And then I edited them all last night. I'm so excited!!

Promise

To my boys:

"Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." --- (Christopher Robin to Pooh)

More random pictures of an afternoon outside.

A Dahlia Flower from our yard. 

I love Dahlias they are becoming my favorite flower, well they are tied with Tulips still.

My Lucy Dog

 

Puppy Kisses

Joy of being a Mom!

I just held down the button and let the camera snap shots. 

I wasn't going to post them. But then I got to thinking about this blog post. Basically it says that most women avoid having their pictures taken because they hate the way they look in pictures, but one day your kids are going to treasure every picture they have with you. And you never know when it could all be taken away from you. So I decided I would share them.
The last 2 are my favorite. not perfect, not posed just me and my boys.

Big Changes at the Baugh House

First Big Change: 

I am now a Red Head!
 (Not the best picture, but you get the effect)

 Second Big Change:
Seth now has a Big Boy Bed. Marie decided that she didn't need bunk beds anymore, so Seth wanted the top bunk. And he Loves it!

 He's pretending to be asleep for the picture.

 We also rearranged the boys' room when we brought in the big boy bed.

 Sam and I downsized, and moved the now empty dresser into the boys room, and their 2 dressers are gone now.

 We made a reading corner and unpacked a few more of our many books. (We have 6 more totes full of kids books yet to be unpacked and 3 shelves full in the living room still)

 3rd and BIGGEST CHANGE!
Sam was ordained a High Priest Yesterday (Yep on Halloween Day)
And then set apart as a High Councilman. And he doesn't even get to start out as the lowest man on the totem pole. There were 3 other men set apart after him so he got moved up instantly.

I'm really proud of my Super Sexy Sam Baugh! 

He works hard, is almost done with his MBA, an Amazing Daddy, Fabulous Husband and now a High Councilman too. 

So, that's what's going on at our house.
