My friend Chelsi

I did a photo shoot of my friend Chelsi and her family a few weeks ago. I had so much fun! I love taking pictures, and they were such sports with me taking a million. I couldn't help my self..they have the cutest kids. Chelsi moved to AZ {i think 2 years ago} while her hubby went to school, she has become such a dear friend to me and now she is leaving me. I am so sad about it. I keep telling her she is not aloud to go back to UT...she just doesn't seem to listen! She will be greatly missed when she leaves in June, and Madelynn will miss her little buddy Talmage so much.

cousins

We went to the park a week or two ago with Madelynn and Ella's cousins Jr and Brenner. We had so much fun. We love having them so close!

Bathtub

Bathtub + no helmet = happy baby! I think she likes is so much cause it's her one hour of freedom from her hat. For the most part she doesn't even care that she has the helmet on. But I know she enjoys the time without it. The girls LOVE taking baths together! They have so much fun!

my lil monkey

Ella wants to walk so bad. She wants to play and do everything Madelynn is doing, it's so cute. She tried the walking thing before crawling. Didn't work to well. We got her crawling like a normal baby about a month ago. {she was either doing the army crawl or crawling with straight legs and her bum in the air} Now she has turned into a little monkey! She has been pulling up on things for about two weeks now. She is getting pretty good at it....



But when she falls I am so grateful for this little "hat" that I was so not excited about and now LOVE! When she falls and hits her head really really hard, she just looks at me with my wide eyes ready for the big cry and smiles and lets me know she just fine. I am thinking I now want one of these for all my kids when they go through this stage...only if they didn't cost 3600 dollars!
