I Can't Remember...

...what it is like to bend over with out pain or lack of oxygen.

Jay & Andrea's Wedding

Ok, so I know that it took forever but here are some images from the wedding....

( inside the Bed & Breakfast they spent the weekend in)

(Andrea's flowers, made by mom, and their rings. The band is Jay's but they both have matching wedding bands....the other ring is Andrea's engagement ring.)

(the Will and Krista pose)

("Hey, way to go Jay!" says Jeremiah with mom)

(kezia, aka my second photographer, and dad)

(me and dad.....with his "signature smile", or at least that is what he was calling it for the day.)

(this is the Bed & Breakfast)

(the back of the outfits that mom made for Jay and Andrea....aka, LINK & ZELDA)

Mom's Fifty, Fifty Years Old!!

Robert Supprised Mom with a 50th Birthday treat!

First they went to each lunch at Paizano's, danced out front....and then took a Limo ride!! (mom said it was a bit like ridding in an air plane, but it was worth the experience.

Then we went to Jay and Andrea's place to sing Happy Birthday and eat cake and ice cream.

Ok, this is Mom trying to figure out how to play Kezia singing her happy birthday on her cell phone....and not succeding.

This is after Jay and I show Mom how to work her speaker phone...

And then came Sally O'Mally..... "I'm Fifty! Fifty Years Old..."

Here I am Again!

This is me at 24 weeks.

I really think I look smaller than I am. Maybe it's those dresses...or because I take the pics on a Sunday...I dont know why that would matter. I just look different from up top.

Nauvoo Revisited!

We went to Nauvoo this past weekend....mostly because I was photographing a wedding. BUT it was a great way for us to get away and spend a little anniversary time together.

This past December was our real 2 year anniversary and I was working on my finals at school so we didn't get to spend that day as planned or desired, but this made up for it!

the Grand Anne Bed & Breakfast
(this is where we spent our honeymoon!)

We spent the night at the best bed and breakfast accross the river in Keokuk, IA. This place is huge and historic and really fun! Plus you get this huge, all homemade, breakfast in the morning that is to die for. This time we had almond french toast w/whip cream, fresh fruit and Jeremiah made himself some hot coco w/cream, honey, water, syrup and sugar.....I cant vouge for how good that was but he drank it all!

this shows Jeremiah trying out the hammok on the porch....hesitant at first, and then he understands how awesome those things really are!
( "Honey, will you push me?")

That night we were planning to go and tour around Nauvoo a bit. HOWEVER, when we got to the B&B around 3pm we were too pooped and hot to go outside. Sooooo, we stayed inside, played pool ( I won the first game, Jeremiah won the second game), played a round of Uno that seemed to last forever and only ended when Jer was sure that I cheated! Then we went out to get a sub sandwich for him and a pizza for me (he ate half the pizza) and watched Golden Girls.

Jeremiah and his smooth pool moves!!

And finally, we went to the temple!

what a great poser! :) always willing to be my test shot model.

there is my cute honey with his shaved face....purely because he messed up trimming!
