Meet Miles..
as of July 7th.. he will be ours.. Yep.. we are getting another puppy.. I am so excited.. I just cannot wait.. neither can the rest of us.. here are some more photos his breeder ( Lisa Billings ) was kind enough to send me.
Here are some she took this week...
Thats all I just had to share because I am so excited... isnt he the cutest thing you have ever seen? ( next to our last puppy )
ok well 13th for Taylor Swift.. 1st for Cierra and Nate.. I took them both to see Miss Taylor on Tuesday Evening.. for their very first ever concert.. I sadly was not allowed to bring a real camera only point and shoot camera's were allowed.. hmmmph.... anyway.. so when I bought the tickets months ago.. I just wanted 3 in a row .. I thought I was getting tickets in like the 300 level.. but that was ok the concert sold out in minutes and I was just glad I managed to get three in a row.. so before leaving for the concert I was actually looking at the tickets and somehow not sure how.. I managed to get us 3 tickets on the floor in the middle section 7 rows back with an aisle seat.. ( I had no idea.. truly I thought I had tickets really high up) I was shocked and then a bit worried how is the concert going to be on the floor with small kids will people rush the stage.. will the kids get squashed.. will they be scared how am I going to keep them safe in a rush of people just me... well as it turned out.. there were no stage rushing fans.. everyone did stand up.. so I ended up holding Cierra on one hip or the other the entire time Taylor was on stage so that she could see.. Nate was ok.. he could see through people and could stand on the back of the chairs in front of us.. so anyway.. I have to say.. it was awesome.. she put on one hell of a show.. lots of outfit changes, dancers, etc.. it was really well done .. man that girl has energy.. she pretty much never stopped moving ( no wonder she is so skinny ha ) and let me just say.. that close.. she is really as gorgeous as she looks in photos or in videos. Since I was not able to use any of my regular cameras I had to use the only point and shoot I have.. I did manage to get some ok photos.. but the photographer in me knows that with one of my regular cameras these would of been way way better..

( I have to say I love this photo with the right camera {grr} it would of been amazing.. )
She was seriously awesome.. she put on a great show.. the kids loved it.. and so did I.
to
tattoos...
yep we got more tattoos from Derek Davie at Anchors End Tattoo here in Springville.. he does an awesome job.. if you are in the area.. and looking for a tattoo.. go see him.. seriously... he is great.
my new one... and I had him add a bit more to the one on my back..
and Jim got a new one.. he designed
while my good friend Cori and I were looking for decoration for her wedding.. we found some cool props... we used them for the wedding.. and she let me keep them since she has no use for them.. Thanks Cori!
here is one of the shots from her wedding.. ( more to come once I am done editing them all )
and here are a few I took of Cierra with the props.. while we were taking a break..
I so cannot wait to use some of these props on upcoming shoots..
not alot of these around.. photos of the entire family.... we were at my very good friend Cori's wedding yesterday.. I was photographing it, as well as helping out with some of the prep stuff.. anyway.. my kids had never been invited to a wedding so they were thrilled to be asked to come. Cori's Son Drew took a few photos for me of our family together.. ( Thank you Drew )
we could not get our pool to clear up.. at all.. so we ended up draining it and starting over...
my awesome hubby did a great job scrubbing it all out..
and on a very sad note.. we lost our kitten ( well she was just about a year old ) Lily a little over week ago on the 28 of May.. she got sick again.. and passed very quickly.. I held her the whole time in her last hours.. and the kids and Jim were all around her and petting her and touching her and loving her as she went to the next place.. I am still very emotional about it.. and I miss her terribly and I am not even really that much of a cat person.. but she really touched my heart.. maybe because she had been sick on and off and I was always the one taking care of her.. but I miss her .. we all miss her ..
( Lily when we got her )
( Lily about a month before she passed away )
You will forever be in our hearts baby kitty..
