Our Little Busy Bodies

New Family Pics coming soon! We just took pictures on Saturday, and it was CRAZY!!!! I thought I could not get more stressed out but let me tell you, I did. I am for sure TYPE A when it comes to those kind of functions. We did have a beautiful shoot in downtown Scottsdale and we are so excited to see them, so hopefully in 2 weeks we will have them posted. Just a little advice to all you with little ones. Take your pics in a confined environment. Out in the open with a million things to see and hear does not work so well with a 20 month old. No really the location was awesome and we are so anxious to get them back. Our photographer was Jaime Hammond and she take beautiful pics. and travels to all AZ, ID, and UT.

What's the Verdict?

Well everyone who has a couple of kids knows that people are always saying who your kids look like. So with Cardin I have heard a lot of everything. For those of you who didn't know Canyon when she was a baby here she is at 5 months. What do you think? Or maybe she looks like her real Cuban father with all that hair!

CANYON 5 months
Look at that hair! She had so much bows were out of the question.
Canyon 3 months

Better Late Then Never!

Wow almost 3 months after Cardin's Blessing and I still have not taken any pics of her in her dress. So here is my beautiful little girl a little fuller than when she was actually blessed but such a sweet baby. We are so so so happy that we were blessed with such a precious surprise baby. Sometimes life throws curves at you and you are not sure how you are going to handle what is ahead. Three at home has been a whirlwind and overwhelming at times but I can not even imagine our life without Cardin. We are so in love with you sweet baby girl!

Free Haircuts!





















SO... Last week I was out in the backyard when I saw a chunk of hair about one inch thick and 5 inches long and realized I had a beautician in my house. Sweet Canyon thought she needed a haircut and decided she could do it all by herself. So the result was chopping it all off to try to even it out. I actually think she looks really cute with short hair but she also looks so grown up. And yes, she has lost scissor privileges.

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY TODD!!!! (Actually Nov 4th, but waaaaaay too much going on with the election)Yes my sweet husband has joined many of you out there in the 30 and above club. I am still enjoying being super youthful and full of a ridiculous amount of energy because I am 29. Really if you know me lately that last sentence is so far from true. But I will however relish in my last year of twenties. I finally kept my mouth shut this year and surprised him with having our favorite masseuse from the chiropractor's office come to our house after dinner for a 2 hour massage. He had no idea, and it was so fun to see the reaction on his face. I guess that's whats happens when you don't spoil your own surprises!

Happy Halloween!
So this year I wanted Canyon and Jagger to match and we found some cute pirate costumes but Jagger would have nothing to do with it. He would try to rip it off every time I put it on so I gave up and returned it to the store. The day of Halloween my friend Larissa loaned me her sons old costume and we ended up with my perfect little duo. However, by the time it came to Cardin a pumpkin onesie was all I had energy for. Our ward has a huge trunk or treat on some members property with lots of games and decked out cars. In case you were wondering Todd and I went as parents.

I love this picture of Cardin. She is such sweet spirtited baby. She is starting to really respond to us and smile. She is the perfect addition to our family.
