Beautiful

I really really love the fall. The colors are so rich and pretty and I love that the weather is not too hot and not too cold. I wish it would stick around a little longer then it does. But like most beautiful things in this life, it's short and sweet and we've got to enjoy it while it lasts.

Stella wasn't too cooperative this particular evening, but I did manage to get one cute one.

Lily was being pretty good for me, however she had her own poses in mind. She kept saying, "Do you like this pose? How about this one?"


Stella encountered a little poodle on the path. She loved it, and she didn't love it all at the same time.

One of Lily's favorite poses.

Some more of puppy Primrose

Yesterday was so nice outside so I thought I'd better take advantage since it's supposed to cool off quite a bit in the few days. The fall leaves are so pretty everywhere right now. I really wish it would stay warm and pretty like this for the next couple months.



Stella is still a wee bit afraid of Prim so a little thrill runs through her every time she touches her.

Prim

Our kids have been begging us for a dog ever since our Boxer, Bosco died a year ago. But we keep telling them no. I've been wanting to get a puppy for a while but I just needed to find the perfect one. I found her on Saturday. I was searching the Internet and came across a litter of 8 week old Chihuahua Pug mix puppies in Rigby, Idaho. They were the cutest things ever. I talked to the lady who owned the mama and she was so sweet to answer all my questions. She has two little boys who've been loving the pups since they were born so I knew they were used to kids which was really important to me. My sisters Steph and Tara went and picked out the sweetest little 2 lb 6 oz female and took her home to Steph's house. Then on Monday morning, I drove the girls to Steph's house in Pocatello to pick her up. It was love at 1st sight. She's the sweetest thing in the world. The lets Lily tote her around and will sleep in her arms for hours.

We drove back home yesterday and surprised the boys. I set up the video camera to get their reaction. Lily came walking in holding our new pup, and I said, "Boys, Lily has a surprise for you." When they realized what was going on they were beyond excited. It was like Christmas morning x10. It was so fun to watch. We named her Primrose. Yep, after Primrose Everdeen from the Huger games series. Mason and I loved those books. Prim seems to fit her perfectly. Now we just need to train her. I'd love some house training tips for little dogs if anyone's got em!

Another ADORABLE baby came to visit. Kellen was such a sweet mellow little guy. I enjoyed every minute I got to spend with him and his beautiful Mom and Grandmom.

Gracie

Such a sweet little girl. I could have held her all day. She made me want another. I hope you love these Krista.

My girlies

Lily and Stella are quickly becoming the best playmates. It's so cute to watch Stella imitate everything she sees Lily do. They love to play hide-n-seek together and they'll both crawl around the house on all fours acting like puppies. I love that they have each other. When we went to the Oregon coast, Stella stayed with Grammy for 5 days. We all missed her so much, but Lily is the one who kept saying, "I wish Stella was here." When we went to pick Stella up from Grammy's house, she was happy to see everyone, but it was Lily that she was chasing around the house giving kisses to. I hope they're best friends forever.




She's such a busy body. She wouldn't stay put for more then about a second. She definitely keeps me on my toes!



Stella and Audrey's little girl Kali were playing so cute together. I love the looks on their faces in this shot.

Ryan : Boise Idaho newborn photographer

I wish all the newborn babes who come to see me were as sleepy and content as this little guy. He was 7 days old for his shoot which is the perfect age for pictures, he had a little extra chub on him which usually helps keep babies sleeping soundly, and he's a boy. Girls tend to have a bit more feistiness in them then boys. Whatever the reason for Ryan's layed back attitude, I sure did enjoy it. He was a real pleasure to photograph, and just check out his hair. I'm in love with it.
