Rachel's First Boyfriend...

We couldn't be prouder that our little girl has decided to follow in our footsteps! She is on her way to becoming an Aggie in no time! Big Blue was pretty smitten with Rachel, and she LOVED him as well. I thought she would be scared of him...but I was totally wrong! You know as parents you never know who your daughter is going to fall in love with....he's a little blue...and a little furry...but her can make her laugh, so we can learn to deal!?! haha! Rachel is officially an Aggie fan!!

Rachel 6 Months

FINALLY finished these...whew ;-) Now its time to take her nine month photos in a few weeks...haha...at least I'm closing in on the gap! These are a few of my favorites, check out the rest on my photography blog if your interested. I'm working on getting them all posted on there as soon as possible! Its crazy to watch Rachel progress. In her 6 month photo shoot I was so excited because she could finally sit up, and now she's already standing! We LOVE you little one!

Happy Halloween

Hanging Pool Side

I meant to post these a while ago, these pics are almost three months old! One last salute to summer! I figured I better get around to it seeing how fall is just around the corner...boo! I am a summer girl, but there are a few things to look forward to about fall approaching: Halloween, gorgeous leaves that make awesome photography, and Thanksgiving! Everything seems more exciting this year seeing how it is Rachel's first everything! Rachel is growing up so fast, she is already starting to pull up on furniture and anybody who has legs nearby, almost ready to WALK! Umm...when did MY BABY turn into a toddler?? How cute is our little one just chillin' in the pool! LOVE IT, she is so dang cute! I always love going to my hometown of Vernal and visiting. My mom has this AMAZING yard that Rachel loves to explore! Considering our front yard consists of busy streets, it's a nice change! Here are a few of my favorites!

Rachel knows how to work it...when she smiles or laughs and crinkles that little nose...her dad and I are ready to give her just about anything she wants!

Rachel with her grandma (my mom)! Good buddies! I need to get some pictures of her with her grandma Moss, she was gracious enough to watch Rachel while we went on our cruise, and I think Rachel developed a new best friend while we were gone!

Baja Mexico!

Wow! What a trip! SOO much fun! A few words to describe our trip would be:
FREEDOM
Missing Rachel
Staying up past 11pm
Extreme FOOD POSINING...which I don't know if that qualifies as a highlight
Snorkeling
Exploring an island on a two person bike
Virgin pina coladas by the pool
Sun Burnt
Hot tubs
Eating way too much food
Sleeping in
Shopping aka: "Negotiating" prices in Mexico
Remembering how much fun it is to hang out with Mike

Well that pretty much sums it up!
I actually didn't take that many photos...Hey I was on vacation! I loved the little animals they made each day in our room out of towels...each day there was always such a cute surprise waiting!



This was the view of the elevator at night in our ship...pretty impressive
