[ a beautiful wedding ]

So my brother-in-law Rob was married to his beautiful bride, Kali last weekend and John and I had the privilege of being at their sealing in the Seattle temple. It was a wonderful ceremony and they got very lucky with perfect weather! My sister, Lauren was their photographer and since this was her very first wedding, I was her assistant for the day. Actually I'm going to be working with and for Lauren from now on, so I'm very excited that this was our first job together! I'll be doing mostly the paperwork and business aspect, but I'm also her assistant whenever she needs help. She is such an amazingly talented photographer, which I know I always say, but after you see the pictures, I know you'll agree with me, if you haven't already! So go check out Rob and Kali's wedding pictures here: http://www.robandkaliwedding.blogspot.com/ and be sure to leave comments for Lauren if you love them as much as I do! Fabulous job Lauren! Congratulations Rob and Kali!

[ Easter ]

Well, I'm a little behind getting these Easter pictures up, but I thought I'd share them anyway...

Here's John and Angie after the Easter Egg hunt at my parent's house. Lauren, Lee and John had fun hiding them around the living room!
Here are her spoils...

And finally here's a "belly shot" for Alisha who's been bugging me to post one.
In this picture I'm about 22 weeks along...

Angie saying "Oh cute!"

I took this the other day when I was getting ready for the day, Angie was being way too quite, so I went to go find her and found this...

She had opened the fridge and got a hold of a block of cheese and started helping herself! There were huge bite marks out of it, who knows how much she had eaten! Crazy girl!

[ Angie's Studio Shoot ]

Today my sister Lauren did a studio photo shoot of Angie for an assignment. Here are a few pictures that she's finished so far and I just couldn't wait to show them to everyone! Isn't Lauren fabulous? We did two backgrounds and two outfits and here are the results! She had a blast dancing around the room and having her "treats"! The first picture captured her sweeter side and the last picture captured her inner rock star! So funny and so very Angie! So which one is your favorite? I love them all!

[ beautiful sunshine! ]

Today Angie and I decided to get out and enjoy the beautiful sunshine! We took a trip to the temple and walked around for a while to enjoy the view and soak up some much needed rays! I couldn't think of a better place to be on such a wonderful day. One of Angie's favorite primary songs is "I love to see the temple", however even though she knows all the words, I don't think she understood exactly what a temple was until she saw it today. It was really fun going to see the temple with her and even more importantly be reminded of it's great importance!

[ It's a.... ]

We found out this morning that it's a GIRL! I thought for sure we were having a boy, so it definitely was a shock! We of course are still very excited, although John made sure to mention that this solidifies his need to have more "manly" toys to make up for all the estrogen that will be in the house! :) So now we don't have to buy as much stuff of course, which will save money, but we definitely need to start thinking of a name! So here are a couple new pictures from the ultrasound. She was face down so we couldn't get a good profile of her, so this is as good as it gets! This view looks a little scary just because it's her skull of course! The other picture is my favorite, isn't that a cute little foot? Well, she's a healthy little girl, all 13 ounces of her and that's what's important! Hurray for another girl!

[ one more day... ]

My appointment for the ultrasound today has been rescheduled! I am so bummed, but they are doing some work on the ultrasound machine and so I had no choice but to change the appointment! So the waiting game continues for one more day! And no, this is not a joke for April Fools day! Tomorrow morning at 8:00 am we'll find out the good news and I'll be sure to post immediately after! So stay tuned for one more day!
