For good measure.

A few more pictures that I just love from the wedding shoot +1 other...sorry if you're sick of them!

This (head on the dirty asphalt) is how I accomplished...
...this!
One of my favorite pictures from the day...Beckett and Woody chillin' at the temple.

The first potty picture!  I know you can't see it, and he hasn't had any desire to do it again since, but it's in there!  (Don't mind his shaggy morning hair.)

we love gg

Lately my family has been dealt quite a few hard blows.  We are all overcoming sicknesses that seem to be almost impossible to completely get rid of.  One grandma is back in the hospital after being in a nursing home following her seizure...six months ago she had a stroke.  She might also have pneumonia.  My other grandma is in the hospital after suffering being beaten nearly to death by my uncle (her son).  She is on the long path to recovery (fingers crossed), but it is going to be a physically and mentally draining process on her and my mother.  I saw her yesterday, and we're going to take Beckett to see her and cheer her up tomorrow because she keeps asking for him.  I hope that I can get some sort of schedule worked out so that I can lessen my mom's load in being at the hospital almost 24/7.  We got the above picture printed to go in her hospital room to keep her positive since she can now open her eyes.

In happier news, we bought Beckett a Lightning McQueen potty (not really planning to potty train any time soon, but hoping to get him used to the idea of the little potty being for him).  We've had him sit on it a few times, and yesterday he came into the bathroom where Jeremy was getting ready and said "pee pee".  Jeremy asked him if he needed to go pee on his potty and Beckett said "pee pee on the potty", so Jeremy took him and sat him on it.  About a minute later he went!  His favorite movies right now are Cars, Incredibles, and Meet the Robinsons (which he calls "Lewis!").  He is so fun and I love that I get to be at home with him and be his mama.

Here are my favorite pictures from Keith's wedding that I'm in!...and probably the only ones I'm in actually, haha.

Keith and Brooke

My cousin Keith got married on February 12th, 2011.  My mom and I had to step in and take the pictures last minute since the photographer backed out.  Here are my favorites that I took!

Crafty things

We spent this last week in Arizona for a wedding...pictures to come.  But in case you've been wondering what I've been up to otherwise, here are a few of the projects I've been working on and finally completed.

An announcement/picture holder for my entry wall.
A baby name picture frame for my friend's baby on the way.
A girl quilt in colors I would want on the off chance we get a girl next time we try for a child.  
(Stippling done by my mother-in-law's friend in Ramona, sewn and bound by me!)
