Today I took my little kiddos to JCPenney for their 6 month and 2 year old pictures. Cody and I were really surprised when we came out of there without one tear, or meltdown. It was absolutely wonderful, and we got some really cute pictures as well!! Lexi, actually posed and did what the photographer asked her. The photographer wanted Lexi to hold Trey, but she is never very interested in holding him. She likes to say "hi buddy," to him, but that is about all. I keep telling her that one day he will be able to do things that her other friends can do, so she better be a good big sister to him. Kuddos to my good husband who tags along with us on our picture outings. I think this is his least favorite thing to do, but there is no way I could do it on my own, and most of the time he doesn't complain too much.
My other exciting news for the day is the graduation present my husband gave me(a little early). He told me I needed a graduation present for hanging in there the last four years, so he got me a camera!!! I have been wanting a better camera for a LONG time, and I'm SO excited to get it and use it. If I can actually figure out how to use it, I won't have to make frequent trips to good old JCPenney anymore. I think this was his way of getting out of anymore picture outings with the kids and I. I have a few friends that are great photographers and maybe after a few classes, and tips, I might be able to figure things out. I love taking pictures and I have a few friends who are so incredibly talented at taking pictures. Hopefully I can learn how to take pictures half as good as them.
So, thanks again to my sweet husband for the great gift!! I love you.

I bet the pictures are really cute. You're so good about getting them done. I need to get my butt in gear and get some taken of Emma and our family.
That was nice of Cody to get you a camera. I'm excited for you two and also proud of you for getting through Dental School.
So you got a camera, eh? I may have to let you practice on my little rugrats! :) Can't wait to see your pictures!

So exciting! I bet the picture are soo cute! Lexi and Trey are adorable! As a mother,there is nothing better than pictures of your kids! Priceless!
I love Oregon, but I don't know if I would want to live in Salem. It is a "big" city. I went to school just out side of Salem and I loved it there, because it was a small town, but close enough to Salem that we could get out.
A good camera is a priceless gift for all of the memories that will you will capture over the years. Make sure you learn to use it soon, so you don't miss much.
