Aila's Blessing

Aila Leeann Walker was blessed on October 23, 2011 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was such a beautiful day and we were so fortunate to have so much family with us for Little Aila. Afterwards we had brunch and just visit with each other at my sister's house. It was a good day and we Thank everyone who came! Thank you!

Aila update: She had her 2 month check up yesterday with the doctors and to get her shots...dum dumm dummm! She now weighs 8lbs 13oz 21.5in! Such a big girl and healthy as can be! She was such a trooper getting her shots, Daddy held her while I looked away(haha). I was told it's harder for the momma's, so I just looked from across the room. No I didn't cry haha, Aila was a tough girl...cryed for a few seconds and than went to her natural self...smiles and all :) 

LOVE her!!

Toms Farm

Saturday we were quite bored and have been pretty much Laying around all day, having a new baby will do that to you on a regular basis...so we decided to get out for the evening and do something. We got ready and took Aila to Toms Farm: Glen Ivy to walk around and see the Pumpkin Patch. Of course I had to get some pictures of our Little Snuggler!

The other day I helped my sister out and watched my nephews for a few hours while she did a photo shoot. We spent the time eating breakfast and watching Thomas the train over and over again. While they were over I got the chance to get a few photo's of Cash and Ryder with their cousin Aila. I borrowed my sister's wide angle lens..which I love, but it's not the sharpest lens....Yet it was decent and I love how it takes wide shots! I'm so used to my 50mm that you have to maneuver yourself a lot so I enjoy a good zoom lens time to time. 

 

Someone is 7 weeks old

By someone I obviously mean my precious, perfect and ADORABLE baby girl! Aila is 7 weeks old now and honestly it feels like it has been longer that she has been here with us.  And I will say the time has really passed by very quickly, she is getting SO big already! She's starting to change more and more. At time I see a lot of me still, but than I see a lot of Todd as well. She has a good mixture right now, but we will see cause she's going to change more and more through the next couple months. She is just the highlight of my morning, afternoon and night for sure! With Todd being so busy with working and the academy I get a lot of Aila and me time. She's my little buddy that loves to cuddle and sleep on my chest. Aila's head is now big enough to wear headbands-UH OH watch out!

          I  L o v e  being Aila's mommy!

Week with Gammy

This past week my Dad was out of town and Todd has the Academy till pretty late at night so I stayed at my parents house for a few days. It gave Todd a few days to get some real sleep with no baby girl screaming for Num Num or Diaper change haha. I love hanging out with my mom and I just love visiting home and spending quality time with her. It's so true what they say(Although I never really minded hanging out with my mom)But your mom and sisters really do become your best friends and through the years become closer and closer to each other! So me and Aila spent the whole week pretty much with Gammy and we had a good time. My Mom is obsessed with Aila(well could you blame her, Aila is just the cutest) We call my mom the baby hogger. I don't mind at all...I Love my daughter, but its nice to pass her around occasionally :) We did some fun stuff with Gammy, we ate at Olive Garden twice..their having the pasta all you can eat special which is sooo good!! I could eat there every day. We went to the mall and panera bread. OK their one of my fav places too, their turkey bravo is the best sandwich, I order it every time! 

Sunday was General Conference so we had a fiesta for dinner. My mom made pretty much everything, I would have helped, but it was a little difficult with a baby. She made my dads yummy tacos and chips with salsa, It was so good! 

We just had a great week and weekend!

Logo

OK so having a baby does in fact set you back a little with life, But I soon will find time to start doing my Photography again. I've been playing with some logos...I think I like the way this looks. 

What do you think!? :o)

Daddy's Little Girl

When I married Todd I knew he was going to be the best Husband and Father. He is the most unselfish person I know. He will go out of his way for anyone and especially his family. Aila is one lucky girl to have such a great Daddy!  

Farewell Elder Erik McGregor

Erik's farewell went really good, it was such a relaxing sunday just enjoying the company of family all around to say goodbye and see Erik's farewell talk before he is gone to Uganda Africa for 2 years! 

We are going to miss him awhile he is away, but we know where he is and what he is doing. Serving the Lord. Erik got to at least meet Aila and see her before he leaves :) Were going to miss you Airegar! Love you! xoxo!

Baby Origin on Etsy

A New project I've been working on called Baby Origin on Etsy. 

For my shower I made a Baby Origin for Aila and it turned out really cute and such a creative piece to add to the nursery. So I decided to offer it on Etsy to order.

Looks really cute finished and framed!

The simple CTR motto

I thought i'd never say this, but with the way things have been going and are headed that I cannot wait to get out of California! WHAT!? California has always been my home, I was once so proud to be a Californian! Not anymore sadly. The way things have been going it is impossible to stay here, not only financially, but morally. Our government/governors have really made there bed here and well now they can lie in the fifth they have created. It's not all about Democratics, Republicans, Conservatives, Liberals...etc. How about doing what is RIGHT! Doing the right thing for the people, doing the right thing for our country. It's come down to just that. Our president, governor and the government are not doing what is Right. Its really that simple don't you think. How can people stand strong for what is not right? It only does Bad...as you can see things are falling apart. Stop choosing sides and vote for what is right!
