first day of second grade

Krissy's first day of second grade! This year we made the big switch to our neighborhood school. Krissy is adapting very well. We are busy missing our cousins, grandma and old school friends though. She cried about that in her bed the other night...and I wanted to cry too because I miss 'em just as much. But, she is making new friends and is so resilient. I am so proud of her!

A new school (without the luxury of having grandma around 24/7) meant a new cellphone. Can you see how delighted this little girl is? And can I tell you how delighted I am everyday at lunch when she calls me on it? Diabetes has it perks ;).

She is one special, confident young lady. I can't believe how fast she is growing up.

The proud momma!

The teachers cheering on the kids...welcoming them to the first day of school!

A few of our neighborhood buddies that showed up at the same time.

Look at those teeth :).

And so, our new adventure begins!

lazy days of summer!

We enjoyed every minute of this summer! I can't believe that it flew by so fast. Here we are at the park enjoying one last carefree summer day.

Emma & Gracie

These little ladies are the perfect blend

of Shane and Kristy...it really is amazing

how that all works, isn't it?

We sure do love 'em!

Katie + Tyler: Engagements

I am so excited to get to take pictures for Katie and Tyler's wedding! As far as photography goes, a temple wedding is my favorite thing to do...so I am in heaven! Feelin' a little pressure, but that is good for me, right??? Katie has been a friend of the family for years. (Our dads work together too.) The wedding is in October and we will do bridals in the next few weeks. Here are a few of my favorites from our engagement shoot last night...
