It's beginning to look alot like Christmas

I know, I know, my posts are getting fewer and farther between. I haven't had a chance to edit these pictures so these are the straight out of the camera shot but I decided I better just to keep my fewer readers coming back. Here are a few things we have been up to. I love this time of the year!!!!

Yellowstone

So it has been quite a while since you have really heard from me. We have had a fun filled summer and are still enjoying the warm weather which we are hoping will stay around for a while longer. Treyden started preschool and is absolutely loving it. I help one day a week and am enjoying it as well. It is fun to see him learn and grow. My girls are getting big and to be best friends. They are sassy and so much fun. Here are some pictures of our trip to Yellowstone. I hope these will suffice.

Brandi Simmons Photography

Well, here goes nothing. I have decided to start a photography business. I am just in my trial period right now. I would like to pick up a few sessions and see how it works out with being a full time mom. I love photography and can't wait to start this new venture. The link to my photography blog is on the sidebar. Feel free to come visit and contact me if you would like me to take some pictures. Wish me luck.

A little bit of that:


And a lot of this!

thRee YeaRs AgO TodAy

This sometimes sweet but mostly sassy girl keeps me laughing every day. I can't believe she is 3!!! She loves princesses, pink, lipstick, her blankie, and dirt. She hates getting her hair done, naps, and cleaning up. She is such a joy to have in our home and feel blessed she is mine.

Lake Havasu

I just came from this .....




To this....


I am going back. (I wish). We had a great time last weekend in Parker AZ. for spring break. We camped on the river, layed on the beach, wake boarded, tubed, went to Vegas to the Shark encounter at Mandalay Bay, and just plain relaxed. It was heavenly!!!

Here are some randoms for anyone out there who may still be looking. It has been a boring winter so I really don't have much to blog about. Spring is on its way though so maybe something fun will come up that I can share. I am not getting to excited yet though because as soon as I do we will get 10 ft. of snow. Knock on wood!

Four Years old

One of the most exciting days of my life


Treyden is four years old!! He wanted a worm cake and a crown like Marty. It took me awhile to figure both of these out. I wasn't quite sure what he meant by a worm cake so I just put gummy worms on a cake and he was thrilled. My sister had to tip my off about the crown, I guess it is on Madagascar which is so weird that he remembers that because I think he has only seen it once or twice and it was quite a while ago. So I went to Burger King, asked for a couple (6) crowns for him and his friends and flew out the door with out buying anything. So embarrassing!! Anyway, he had a great birthday and it is getting more fun as he gets older.
I love this kid so much. Most days he could drive me to drink but other days he is the sweetest kid. He is such a loving big brother. He plays so well with his sisters and is a big helper when he wants to be. I feel so lucky that Heavenly Father blessed me with him.
