Vegas Baby

Chris and I enjoyed a quick getaway from the girls this week! Chris's amazing sister watched Addie for us (she finally got to put pigtails on a little girl) and Shelby crashed at a friend's house while we headed out of town. We met up with my brother and his wife...it was a great trip! I have learned I am not a Vegas person however it was an incredible time to be with family, enjoy alone time with Chris and learn more about photography. I came back refreshed and jazzed in running by business...I am excited to see where God is going to take this.

As for our festivities in Vegas...the first night we flew in, got dressed up, went to an entirely to expensive dinner and saw "O". The things these performers/athletes can do with their bodies is truly amazing. The other days, we went out to eat, danced, laughed, played a few slot machines (lost all the money we put in), went up to the top of the Eiffel Tower (where one of the funny pics was snapped off), and much more. Being with Todd and Tara made us long even more so to live closer to them and their sweet family. Colorado huh? Just kidding. All in all, it was a great trip but when by too quickly. Thanks all who help make it possible by watching our beautiful girls.

Family Pictures

My assistant was gracious enough to snap a few family photos for us on Sunday. It is very odd to be on the other side of the camera but we disparately needed family pictures since we have yet to get some since Addie was an infant...embarrassing I know. We ventured to the fields behind our house since the rain has caused everything to be this brilliant green. We were covered in mud by the end of the shoot but all in all, it was a success!

It's a first...

So, we have had a potty for Addie since Christmas. Honestly, it sits in our bathroom where she will put her foot in it to make the music play. There is no desire or pressure to learn to use the thing. Lately, she has been wanting to sit on it (with her clothes on). On this day in particular, she was about to get a shower and decided to sit on it with diaper and all off. All of a sudden, I heard the music playing and it happened...Addie used the potty! Please note, she has not done it again since but it was a mile marker for the Blakes. :)




Here she is in all her glory...
