November


I took pictures of Tate and Hayden.  They are my cousins kids.  so cute!  



Addies one year pictures.  I made cupcakes and frosting hoping she would dig in and get all messy.  She was so cute.  She hated the cupcake! It was to messy for her.  She cried and crawled to momma.  It was entertaining to watch and take pictures of her though.  


Our first family pictures! 




Her hands were so cold!  I was trying to keep them warm.  They were turning purple.  My mom help take these pictures. 


Jax was born a week after Jacey.  We went down to St. George to see him a few weeks later.  He is such a cutie.  We had a great Thanksgiving with Lloyds family.  We also did the Black Friday the next morning.  It was so much fun.  What a birthday!!!  We stayed up late and at midnight Lloyd gave me part of my birthday present.  It was a SNUGGIE!! ha ha I secretly wanted one.  He knew that and got it for me.  It is blue with peace signs all over it.  "so many things I can do in my Snuggie"  ha ha ha. love it! We got up at 5 am.  We ended up getting a TV and a bunch of fun stuff.  We then went and had breakfast at Denny's with Lloyd's family.  Then we headed up to Fairview to spend the rest of my Birthday with my family.  It was like 3 birthdays in one.  My mom made dinner and we all just hung out.  everyone was there except Kristen and her family.  It was such a great day!!!  At the end of the day He gave me a magic mouse! Apples latest mouse for my computer! no more potato mouse.  yay! 

The Anderson Family Christmas party was the day after Thanksgiving.  We had a lot of fun.  I think Lloyd is getting more familiar with my side of the family.  I think there are 160 members give or take a few... The anderson family is huge.  Uncle corey's family was in charge.  We made cinnamon rolls, and rolls for widows in the ward.  Here are the men actually making the dow.  I couldn't believe it.  They did a great job.  




I took pictures of Ben's Family for thier Christmas card.  It was snowing and cold.  We ran from my parents to this cool tree.. snapped a shot and ran back.  They turned out really cute.  Ang is really good at color coordinating! 


Nya and Paisley


Halley



Ben and Ang


I also did pictures for my cousins Clint and Talisha. What a pretty family!

October brings a New Born



She looks a lot like lloyd in this picture.  We still can't decide who she looks more like.  I think she is a good mix.  


When we were in the hospital we had so many visitors.  John and Bexi came the night we were having Jacey.  They saw our yellow Lexus in the parking lot and pulled into the hospital.  They stayed for a little while while I was in labor.  Bexi was so cute.  It made her nervous to be in the delivery room.  Then in the morning Lachelle, Aunt Carmen, Amber and their kids all came to see us.  a little later my Mom and Dad came to see us. Bexi and John showed up again.  Next Mike Stewart came.  It was so nice to have so many visitor.  A little later in the day Melissa Dave and Addie came.  Everyone traveled so far.  We really felt special.  It meant a lot that everyone came to welcome Jacey into the world.  We have such great families and friends! 


This is Lloyds first time changing Jacey diaper.  He was so hesitant.  Once he opened the diaper and saw the black tar that comes out when babies have their first poop.  He thought something was wrong.  He went and got the nurse.  She helped him change Jacey diaper.  He looked so cute.  It was so great to see him with her and taking care of her.  He is such a great dad!  


Yep still have the pregnancy mask.  My skin had issues.  Jacey's face was still swollen, but she looked so cute snuggled up next to me.  Lloyd had to take a picture. 


The day after I got out of the hospital Donna Mae, Maryann and the kids came down to visit.  That was a long way for them to come.  It was fun to visit with them for the day and show off our little sweetie.  


Brad Winegar also came to visit right after we had her.  He loves babies.  He was so cute to watch with her.  We are new parents so he gave us a few pointers.  



5 days old
I was not able to dress up for halloween because my basketball hoop and ball didn't work after I had her :) (because I wasn't pregnant anymore)  I also had a dream about this photo.  I could see what I want and accomplished it.  yay! I bedazzled her.  She was an angel for halloween.  She was so good!  I used honey to stick on the scrapbook decals.  she held really still.  I heated up the room to 90 degrees so she would stay asleep.  She was so comfortable.  The picture turned out perfect! Happy Halloween!

She was born October 26th, 2010.  In these pictures she was 5 days old.  




My good friend Laura let me borrow this baby sling.  They turned out so cute!  Thanks Laura!!



These hats I bought at a craft fair in Mt Pleasant.  They were made by my cousin Tracey Anderson.  So cute! I know such talented people.  


I love this hat!  I know it is around 50 years old!  I got it from my Grandma Stephenson.  I am so glad that she held on to it.  I got a few more clothes and hats from her.  There will be more to come.



I saw this scale at Terrels Market Place and I couldn't resist.  I got up around 5 am to get ready for this shoot.  Bexi came and helped me.  Jacey was 6 days old.  I had never taken her out in the car by myself. when we got to Terrels I couldn't unbuckle the car seat.  usually lloyd does that part.  ha ha how embarrassing.  I had a few people int he store come out to help me get her out of the car seat.  I finally figured it out.  I got her into the store around 6 am.  there were no customers.  My dad came and helped as well.  He set up a ladder for me and helped me plug in my lights and he even shined up the scale for me.  bexi stood back and held the back drop.  it was quite the ordeal.  they turned out great.  Thanks dad and Bexi! 


Pregnancy Pictures

Lloyd and I were in Alaska when we took these photos.  I was about or 7 months along.  I set up the shots and he pressed the button.  He is such a great sport.  I couldn't ask for a better husband! 


The wind was chilly!  Lloyd thought it was a little weird that I even wanted these photos taken.  He also thought it was strange to show my bare belly.  It may be a little strange, but I love them!


We were at a local park on the Kenai Peninsula.  I had a dream about these photos and new what I wanted.  I had Chris and Lloyd take me to the fabric store to get the material you see floating in the air.  I also waited until it was a stormy cloudy day so I could get the wind effects and the dramatic sky.  I explained to Lloyd what I saw in my head.  I even made a few sketches.  He lead me to this park.  They turned out perfect!  Thanks Lloyd! 

Looks like I am doing Yoga, or meditating.  Nope just taking a picture.  I was thinking in my head man it is freezing out here!!! 


Lloyd took this one all on his own.  Good work!


This picture was taken in Kodiak.  It was the middle of the day.  I don't remember the temperature, but the ocean water was soooo cold.  Picture an Ice Berg floating in the far distance.  That puts it into perspective.  There wasn't one.  But I like to think there was one because it was so cold.  I still can't believe I did that.  I couldn't resist the perfectly blue water for pictures.  We went to get jewels off the beach and ended up taking pictures. :) Some local people where there and thought I was crazy.  They had built a camp fire and offered to share it with me and my bare belly.  ha ha
