Baby Girls Announcement

Beautiful photography by Melissa McClure Photography.  She also took our maternity photos when I was pregnant with Eli, here.  Many more photos to share of our family session with Melissa.

Maternity/Family Photos

We had our maternity/family/Eli 18 month photos taken a few weeks ago by our always favorite Andy King Photography.  Here are some of my favorites...

 

I am due tomorrow but have a c-section scheduled for Monday at 2PM if things don't work out naturally.  I had a c-sec with Eli and the doctors want me to try a VBAC but so far nothing is working and things aren't looking favorable in that direction.  Wish me luck and I just can't wait to meet baby Evie!!!

We took Eli and Preston to the Pumpkin patch last night and they had so much fun...well Eli had so much fun and Preston put up with all the picture taking.  Sad thing is we never got a picture of the 2 boys together but we did get some great family shots.

Pregant Sister

I took some quick photos of my very pregnant sister and my brother in law earlier this week and today she is in the hospital in Labor!!!  Can't wait to meet Preston Ray Kadolph!!!

4th of July

A little late but here are out pictures from the 4th of July this year.  We did the usual family tradition and went to Coronado for the parade and then camped out at the golf course and waited for the fireworks along with family and long time family friends whom we have been celebrating the 4th with for over 25 years (my BFF of course).

 Watching the parade.

 Eli and his Poppy.

 Such a 4th of July cutie!

 Our 1st 4th as a family.

 My parents and our BFF family friends whom we have been celebrating with since we were all very little.

 3 out of 7 original kids still made it this year and now we have added lots more to the group.

Easter Fun

After we went to church on Sunday, we headed to my parents house for a relaxing and festive Easter Sunday.  It was filled with a little Easter Egg hunt which was Eli vs. Uncle Jeremy...Uncle Jeremy won!  Poor Eli ;)

Here he is finding a blue egg with Daddy, can you see Unle Jeremy in the background with his basket :).

Me and my little Easter Boym we had bunny ears for him but forgot them at home :(

He was still very successful in his hunt.

My preggo sister who saw this picture and said "I look pregnant!"  Well yeah sister, thats what happens :)

Another Great Man Gone

Just a few days ago, exactly 1 month and 1 day after my grandfather passed, Jeremiah's grandfather and the namesake of Eli passed away as well.  Louie Raymond Woody aka Buster passed away in his home on February 10th 2012 surrounded by his loving wife and family.  

Grandpa Woody was a wonderful funny talented and God Fearing man who was loved by so many and whom so many looked up to.  As I have shared before, Jeremiah credits the majority of his strong faith to his Grandfather and I know that although he is not showing much of it, he is having a hard time with the loss of his grandfather.

We will be traveling back to Texas later this week to be with family and to lay him to rest. 

Grandpa Woody was a great singer and in his younger years he was in a Texas Swing band where he wrote and recorded this song for his wife of 70 years...

I will always remember him for his love of God and music and I hope that my son, Eli Buster, lives up to such a great name.

Family Photo Fun

Last month we had one of my favorite photographers (Andy King) who also happens to be our wedding photographer take our family photos.  We went up to his studio in Alpine and played around outside with the baby for a while before going back inside to take some studio shots of Eli at 4 months.  Here are some of my favorites.
