11 1/2 weeks and counting....

Right now I am 11 1/2 weeks. Which means this baby is already over 1.5 inches long! They have made all theirparts, and are nowworking on growing them all. This means I will also be growing lots in the next month.....I will post pictures of that later.

He (or she) is quite the little mover. I can't feel anything yet, but when the Dr. did the Ultrasound last week the baby was kicking his little feet like CRAZY! It looks like he will be an energetic one! (not too suprizing looking at his parents.....)

The picture above was taken at 10 weeks. His little hand is covering up his eye. It's crazy how much it looks just like a baby and is only 10 weeks! I am constantly amazed at God's work. :)

Welcome Baby Strawn! :)

We are happy to announce that there will soon be another Strawn! :) Well..not too soon, not until August 26th (or anytime around there). But we can't WAIT! :)

We got to hear the heart beat today, and that was simply amazing! To realize that there is a little person growing inside should make you say nothing else but "PRAISE THE LORD!"

This really is a miracle.

We will keep you posted on updates as we get them! But so far I am feeling great!! Just needing a little extra sleep! :)

My cute nieces!

I am a pretty lucky auntie!!

HALLOWEEN FUN!

Sorry it took so long to post these!!

The party was so much fun! We can't wait intill next year. I painted a giant piece of wood so that all of our guests would have a fun place to tkae their picture!

We have suffered a great loss on the farm...

Today we mourn the death of dear chicken friend, Bater. She was found last night dead after falling in our swimming pool. She has no problem swimming, the water was just too cold and chickens don't do well when they are wet and cold. She was one of our favorite chickens, and would always greet us at the door when we came to feed them. Poor little Bater will be missed....it's a good thing my sweet husband bought me so many chickens to keep me company! I still have 11 more to play with....they just won't be playing outside without me anymore...

this is a picture of Bater as a baby helping ryan do some electrical work :) What a GREAT chicken!!

Slowly becoming haunted

The Strawn Haunted Mansion is slowly becoming..well...haunted...
We are turning our house into a spooky layer where ghouls and their little goblins will roam (and by roam I mean carve pumpkins and watch Nightmare Before Christmas on the wall in the backyard).

What will you come dressed as? Better decide soon! Only 32 days till all hallows eve!

we've been a little busy....

Sorry to all of you that check my page for updates...July was a rather busy month! I shot a lot of weddings! So that means that all my time on the computer was for editing, not for blogging..... so below are a few of my favorites from 2 of the weddings (one is still to be edited)
Hope you enjoy them! I sure enjoyed shooting them!!

The first is Ian and Anita. They were the cutest couple you have ever met. They have a lot of fun being in love and had a great wedding!

Next are Ilene & Casey. They are also super fun because their whole Wedding party consisted of kids, mostly under the age of 7..... can we say CUTE!! The kids did a great job, and the wedding so much fun! :)
