and you know this girl could not go without having the spotlight turned on her! While we were shooting Harper's pics, Halle kept telling Heidi to stop and only take pictures of her (we're working on the jealousy :) )

Harper's Newborn Shoot

Heidi McLelland of Adore Me Photography took all of these shots. She always takes me girls pics! We luh luh lovvvvee them!!

It's only been what? .... A year

I've been dreading this update for many many months... it's one of those things where you start to fall sooooo behind that it gets a bit overwhelming.

Honestly last year flew by and ALOT happened, i'm talking major life changing events, i.e. new baby.

If you know me, you know my pregnancies are far from joyous (throwing up every.single.day is so not something anyone should ever have to do). So I blame my lack of updates/picture taking/documentation on our new little bundle of joy.

Speaking of...

Harper Phyllis Lambert

July 8th, 2011

She came a little earlier than planned and was a teeny tiny little thing weighing in at a whopping 6lbs. 1oz. and 19 inches long.

As of late these little ladies have been my life, and adjusting to life with 2 kids is far from easy (anyone that says otherwise is lying, ha).

Halle adores her little sister and is starting to get a handle on this whole "big sister" thing, however she has not enjoyed sharing the spotlight.

Of course Heidi (www.adoremephotography.com) can take full credit for these beautiful shots. I can't wait to get the disc and get Harper's birth announcements done.

So for now, this is my update. Do not expect anything else anytime soon. Although I am working on compiling Harper's birth story, no promises on having it finished and posted in a timely manor. :)

Sweet Sweet Summer

We've had a fun (& busy) summer this year.

Pardon the fact that this post is very haphazard and out of order.

We ventured up to Red Butte Gardens with Heidi & Bridget for little Taitley's 1 year photoshoot! Go here to see how adorable they turned out!

:Red Butte Gardens:

Keith, Natalie & Kenz came to visit. The girls had a blast together!
:Halle & Kenz:

Halle got her first "real" haircut. No more mullet-ish hair for this little girl. I would be lying if I said I didn't cry as her curls fell to the floor.

We've been swimming like crazy this summer and Halle has become SO brave. She only wears water wings and jumps off the side by herself (without anyone to catch her!), goes completely underwater and swims to the steps to do it again. She is such a little fish!

:JUMP!:

August was a very busy month for us, we had something going on every week from Erin's Wedding(pics to come), a trip to St.George and camping.

:Mirror Lake 2010:

(Yes I know she slightly resembles a 70yr old woman from Boca Raton in these pictures)

St.George... again. With Karen, Grandma June, Jen, Josh and Morgan. It was so much fun, we spent alot of time swimming(obviously), painting pottery, & playing at the main street splash pad.

We also went to see Tarzan at Tuacahn. It was amazing, really. Halle sat through the entire thing in awe and loved the "gwillas".

:St.George:

:Brushfire:

:Splish Splash:

Josh & Halle decided to have a dance party one day while we were in St.George. We were all laughing so hard!

(Gotta love Halle... messy hair, no pants and covered in oreos. What? It was a vacation..)
