Busy Busy August
This month was a crazy one! It started off with a trip to central Idaho for the Earl Reunion and Jason's homecoming. It was so nice to have almost everyone there at the airport. Justin also surprised everyone and flew in on the same flight as Jason. That weekend was way fun and extremely hot. Kamille and Lillian loved swimming in the river and playing with their cousins.
Our other adventure was a trip to southeast Idaho for Carlene's wedding. We loaded up the camper and got to enjoy a few days with family. We were lucky enough that Devin's cousin's wedding was the day before Carlene's, so we got to attend that one too.
In between our trips, I have been so busy with photography. I have had shoots every night available and am booked all the way into October. I love meeting new families and I get excited when I get repeat families. Must mean I'm doing something right!
Kamille is almost 3! She is excited for her birthday and tells me often that she needs a blue birthday cake and barbies. She loves her sister and is always telling her what to do. I hear all day "Lilly, don't touch!" She is always taking things from her and picking her up and dropping her places.
Lillian is crawling so fast and pulling herself into standing position with the help of anything she can find. She likes to pull Kamille's hair out, which is terrible! She also wants to eat human food, but still doesn't have any teeth. She can down baby food and can hold her bottle all herself (which is so nice for Mom). She said her first word...da da... and says it all the time. She loves her daddy. We finally finished sleep training and she is sleeping almost soundlessly in her crib (woot woot!)
And for me.... I'm just running around all the time! I feel like this summer has been all about unpack bags, wash laundry, pack bags and go! And if it's not that, it's chase kids around all day, make some editable food and then out the door for a photo-shoot. For my weight-loss journey: I've kind of slacked off. When we travel, I seem to do good for the first few days, and then it seems pizza and fast food is placed in front of my face! I always said, "If you eat pizza fast enough, it's considered cardio...right?" After our trip to southeastern Idaho I was so scared to step on the scale I almost convinced myself to throw the scale in the garbage and tell my husband someone crazy broke in and just stole that...but then that would make me crazy lol! After a few days of encouragement I finally decided to see where I was at.... down .4 lbs!!!! I call that a miracle. :) The past few days I have been sick with food poisoning so I'm sure I'm back on track with numbers (just trying to look at the positive as I head to the bathroom once more!).
I'm in the process of packing bags right now as I type this....and we have ONE MORE TRIP...maybe...hopefully. I never know. We are off to Rockaway Beach, Oregon for another reunion. This time my sister and I are in charge and we planned a few fun days in a beach house on the coast! I'm way excited but not looking forward to the 42 hour drive round trip! Wish us luck.
God be with you,

Devin is busy working 10-11 hour days. He usually gets home just in time to eat and leave with me for a photo-shoot, or sometimes he just stays home. He is starting an online class this September and only has one more after that until he graduates with his associates. I'm so proud of him for not giving up and trying his hardest to advance in education and work.

| He won't let me take a picture of him...unless I'm in it too! |
