Jordan's Birthday Pictures

Okay, first of all, let me just say a huge thanks to Marcy for helping SO much with the party. I seriously am not capable of being that organized and creative. You are one talented party planner!!

Alright, here are few of the pictures from the party! Enjoy :)

Aren't these cupcakes cute?

Thanks to everyone who came! And Jordan also says thanks for all the great presents!

Busy. Busy. Busy.

The holidays are FINALLY over! Whew! Seems like this season was extra busy for us. Christmas we had 4 places to be in 2 days! What a whilrwind that was! We woke up on christmas eve at our house and since we had lots of places to be, Santa came early. Then we went over to my mom's, and after that, to my dad's. We had Christmas morning at Justin's mom's and then headed over the pass to Justin's dad's. It was fun, rushed, but fun! I wish that there was an easier way to do Christmas, but I just dont see how there would be. The day after Christmas, Justin left for a few days to go hunting but the girls and I stayed at his dads house for a few days.

Here's a funny story; while Justin was gone hunting, we took out our XTerra to go 4 wheelin' in a couple of feet of snow and got stuck. Like really stuck. We were driving on ice over a huge mud pit, the ice was like 3 inches thick! So here we are, driving super slow. Had it in 4Low and everything. and BAM! The passenger side breaks through the ice and goes like 2 feet into the mud hole. So scary! We managed to get it part way out and then BAM! The other side broke through the ice, we were in all the way to the bumper. We had to have Dave, my father-in-law, come pull us out with his truck. It took like 15 minutes of him pulling us with a chain to get out, but we finally made it. I can honestly say that I'm never taking one of our vehicles 4 wheelin' again, well, without Justin being the driver, anyway.

New years, we went back to Easton. Hung out at the saloon for dinner, went back to the house and tried the jello shots that I made. Whipped cream vodka & strawberry jello! I was surprised they turned out so good since I've never made them before.

Jordan's 4th birthday was on Friday, but we had the party yesterday, Saturday. We rented a banquet room at Round Table Pizza and had a zebra & hot pink theme'd party. It was SO fun. That girl is S-P-O-I-L-E-D!

Well, that's it for now, I better get back to editing pictures from a photoshoot earlier today! I'll post some later of Christmas and Jordan's party later!

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.

My little cowgirl STANDING on top of my car!

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!
