Five on Friday! (stuff I’ve been meaning to blog for a while but have been too busy–the big kid was home from school sick most of this week so it’s been a crazy few days).

1. I am officially a soccer mom, my guy is the one in the red shirt, and I couldn’t be more proud!! He is loving every minute of being on a soccer team and having a blast this season! His dad is also the coach which is fun for them both.

2. I am also a ‘ballet’ mom! My little princess started her first Ballet class a few weeks ago. Check out the pictures…what more do I need to say? She is SO incredibly excited and proud of her outfit, the shoes, all of it. The best part was watching her watch herself in the mirror…I think she was in disbelief at both the outfit with the skirt AND the other girls all dressed up. I wish I could bottle up her joy and keep it forever! Melts my heart it was so cute!

3. Um…we I officially have spring fever this week in a big way, with being sick and waking up Monday morning to about 3 inches of very wet snow on the ground. In late April!! This is our first spring in Denver so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this is kinda crazy. By noon it was gone (and I was very thankful I didn’t have to shovel the driveway). And then I was thankful for the two gorgeous days that followed, as are the little seedlings the kids have planted which are finally coming up. Then today, it snowed again. When people said that Denver had some wacky weather, they weren’t kidding!

4.  Obviously this was from a couple months ago. First sledding experience and I think it’s safe to say they LOVED it. I love their faces in this photo…it’s so them. The big guy has no fear as is snickering, and she is kind of half smiling, half grimacing out of fear. So totally them…love love love.

5. My sweet baby had her 3rd birthday in March and we had a nice little party with our new friends here and her grandparents who flew in from Arizona! Here are some quick snaps from her actual birthday during the week. Flourescent lighting and all.

Look who I got to meet today?

This little sweetie, baby W, was such a good boy for our session today. Mom told me he was still just a teeny tiny thing, and she was right. He was so tiny and perfect!  When I first arrived he was a little annoyed that I kept messing with him, but he finally gave in to my fiddling and fell fast asleep.

This next picture was actually one of the last ones I took.  A storm was brewing so we hurried outside to get a few shots and thought we had about 15 minutes.  Well, no more than 2 minutes after I shot this picture, the sirens started going off. (Being new to Denver I had no idea what the sirens were for…) but turns out there was a TORNADO sighting in the area! Obviously that cut short our outdoor newborn session, but luckily I got this amazing gem before we had to run back to the car!  And I’m not so sure I like the idea of living in tornado country…but I suppose living in Denver now I will have to learn to deal with it! I think it was worth it to brave the storm, what do you think?

Here are a few more:

It was so nice to meet you all today. Enjoy your new little bundle.

Here is a little sneak peak of what the new website will look like! I’m so excited to have larger pictures, and even better is the fact that it’s so easy to navigate!  I’ve taken all the information off of this new site, so any info about sessions/pricing/what to wear etc. will now be found on the blog. This is purely a portfolio site. (I decided to keep it simple!)  I have been told the site is now “live” and that it will take up to 72 hours to propagate throughout the internet, so if you don’t see it yet, keep checking back and it should be there within a day or two.   I still have tons of images to post in the various galleries, and will be adding to them in the coming weeks.

For now, here is a screenshot of the opening slideshow:
