Brayden's Newborn Photoshoot


I was super excited that I got to take his newborn pictures! It was so much fun! He peed and pooped ALL over me and my brand new props, but I guess that's okay since he's my nephew and all :) And I have to say, my mom is an excellent assistant!!

Oops, forgot my logo on this one! I love this boy!(Hat made by Sweet Peas & Bumpkins)

His sweet little toes make me smile!

This was totally not posed! My sister was taking him away to feed him and snapped this, I kind of like it!

I'm Officially an Aunt


Taylor FINALLY (1 whole week late) had her baby. (And I'm FINALLY writing about it!) Lets back up to my last post... Remember how I said we were SO tired that we went to bed as soon as we got home from trick or treating? Well it's a good thing we did, because Taylor's water broke at 1am, she called my phone, oh, about 4 times until she finally called Justin, who answered. As soon as he sat up in bed to say "Hello?" I heard Taylor yell,"Tell my sister to wake up, my water just broke!" Pretty exciting right? I was so excited/nervous that I almost threw up! My little sister is gonna be a mom!!!

So then after we dropped the kids off with my wonderful friend, Ashlee, at 3am, (and had to listen to Taylor complain that she was going to have this baby right on the side of the road if we didnt hurry up) it was time to head to the hospital. From start to finish, the whole entire thing took 24 hours and 27 minutes. And I'm pretty sure that EVERYONE slept during that long 24 hour period, except for me!

Taylor did such a good job! The poor girl pushed for almost 4 hours and then ended up having to have an emergency c-section! At 1:27am on Tuesday, November 2nd Brayden Louis Praska was born! He was a big guy, a whopping 8lbs 13oz, 21inches long! He's got to be the cutest boy I've ever seen!! I'm one pround Auntie!  Okay okay, so enough with the story right? Here he is! Isn't he handsome?
 
Just about an hour after he was born! Isn't he just perfect?

 
Cousins :)


Logan's first time meeting Brayden. She tried to tell him about his eye, then proceeded to poke him in it, just to make sure he knew where it was.



Jordan adores him, she always wants to hold him and kiss him.

Here's the proud mommy & baby!

Happy Halloweenie!

We had such a good time trick-or-treating with the kids this year. Jordan was a cowgirl and Logan was an indian. Get it? Cowboys & Indians? We trick-or-treated around my mom's neighborhood for about 45 minutes and the girls got way too much candy! The basket of candy is still almost all the way full!! I think we should have went a little earlier because it got pretty cold. Next year we'll definitely have to go around 6 or 6:30. By the time we got home it was around 9:30 and we all went straight to bed, we were all beat!

Here are some pictures :)


Yep, that orange stuff on her face is pumpkin. She wouldnt stop eating it!!
So good, she had to lick the spoon!

Jordan wouldnt go near her & her dad's pumpkin. She said it was gross. Logan tried to give her a kiss with pumpkin on her face and she freaked out!

The mouse is Justin & Jordan's pumpkin and the awesome looking owl is mine and Logan's :p

Logan as an indian. Or "alien" if you ask Jordan.

Trick-or-Treating at Grandma's house.

Yep! Even Taylor dressed up! And the man on the left is actually her friend Katie! They went as white trash. (Unlit) Ciggerette and all :)

That vest is an antique. I thought it was pretty cool!
