Kenton is 10 Months Old! (And Mommy's new camera!)


This handsome, smiley boy is 10 months old today! He got his first tooth about 3 weeks ago, and his second one almost 2 weeks later. He's been "army crawling" for a while now, and although he gets up on his hands and knees and rocks on occasion, he's perfectly happy scooting himself around on his tummy (and pretty fast I might add!)






His sisters still love him to pieces, and Jenica especially likes to "hold" him still even though he's more than half her size already!




These pictures were taken with my new camera that arrived today, a Nikon D600, an upgrade from the D7000 I've been using for the last year. Although I've only taken a total of 25 photos with it, I am already in love. I was shooting at ISO 6400 for these shots, and they are still crisp and clear with hardly a hint of grain. Eventually I will upgrade to two D600 bodies and sell the D7000 (so for anyone else looking for a new/used camera, check back around this time next year). For now, that camera will be my backup camera, and second shooter camera for weddings until I can upgrade all my lenses to work with the D600 body.

Anniversary of my Dad's diagnosis

Anniversaries help us to remember and acknowledge things in the past. They might not always be happy memories, but I do believe that remembering and reflecting is important. It was a year ago this Memorial Day that I found out my dad had cancer. Three weeks later he was gone.  These pictures were all taken about 2 years ago. We had no idea then that these would be the last memories with Grandpa.  I’ve wanted to write about his passing for some time now, but I just wasn’t ready until now.  His death has been hard for me to process in a lot of ways. I know death is never easy, and cancer can be a horrible way to die, so I don’t fault my dad for his decision. What I do wish in hindsight is that it wasn’t illegal in Idaho to end your own life, in cases of terminal illness. That’s the choice my dad made, rather abruptly in my opinion and like all grieving children I would have given anything to have more time with him. But I think he was afraid. I think he was afraid that he w...

Day Care

Jenica is going to daycare for the first time this afternoon. I think I'm having a much harder time with it than she will. The lady that will be watching her one day a week also watches my friend Brandi's son, so Jenica will get to play with Judah while she's there. There are also a few other kids that come on Thursday afternoons so I'm sure she will have lots of fun. I know I can't have the best of both worlds (stay at home mom and career woman), it's just hard to have to leave my baby girl with someone who doesn't love her like I do. It's times like these when I wish I didn't live so far away from my family, so Jenica could just spend an afternoon with her Grammy or her cousin Kayla instead of having to go to a strangers house. Rob and I have weighed the pro's and con's and feel like a little time with other kids will actually be good for Jenica right now and will allow me to focus on work with out worrying about what Jenica could be gettin...
