.happy fall y'all.

i took the girls out to ASF for a mini session. as usual, graesyn loves the camera..madison, on the other hand, wanted to be behind the camera this time! a girl after my own heart!

.sweet.

.happy birthday, sweet girl.

graesyn's first birthday party was a circus theme. i think it turned out simply adorable and definitely unforgettable!

 gorgeous and tasty cake made by stacey mcnatt. everyone LOVED it!

 candy apples & marshmellow pops were a hit, too!

 love you, ashley!

 mommy & the birthday girl.

 graesyn's future husband.

.perfect in every way.

just a day around the house and i get the girls together to take a few shots. love the lighting and their sweet soft expressions.

these two girls are my life, hands down.

.8 months and counting.

she's crawling away and all smiles everyday!

.graesyn's first birthday session.

oh my how time flies. my oh my. i simply cannot believe that my youngest is one. (as of october 2011. yes, i know this posting is late, but better late than never, right?!) i never knew that i could love anything or anyone more than i already did with my first born, madison. it happens though, that is for sure. without my two girls, i could not imagine how life would be. every single day they make me proud, they make a bad day all better, they make me keep going. everything i do, i do for them - simple as that.

 i am so proud of this image below. not only because she is my sweet baby but because she absolutely does NOT like the camera and she posed just for me.

i love you two girls to heaven!

Introducing Graesyn McKenzie!

February 14th, 2010, I found out that I was expecting another sweet baby. I was taken back and nervous, as I had just had my gastric bypass surgery 5 months before! The thought of another pair of feet pitter pattering to the bedroom at 1am, to cuddle with mommy and daddy, was in order. The pregnancy was a tough one. Not only was I the sickest I had ever been, I only gained 14lbs. Not that I am complaining, but her health was my main concern. On October 20th, 2010, at 6:30am, I gave birth two my second little bundle of joy, Graesyn McKenzie! Weighing 8lbs 13oz, 19 1/2 inches long - I was one proud momma!

She has the sweetest little grin, the sweetest little dimples and the sweetest little toes.
