Foto Friday

Wow! It's been a few weeks since I've done one of these!

Truth is, Blake started preschool, and I still have not gotten into a rhythm!

But don't fret, it's not just my blog that has suffered. You should take a look at my kitchen sink! Yikes. And don't get me started on the laundry room!

Last week brought some exciting new changes to my photography business! I am now officially under the name Stefanie Stratton Photography! Complete with a new facebook page, new business cards, new packaging, and a new blog in the works! Anyways, I thought I'd share my kids newest photos to celebrate! :)

Seriously... the cutest.

 

aannd... a few more, just for kicks! ;)

 Hubby got an elk! Not a monster, but I was pretty proud!

 This little lady got her ears pierced!

 Getting a family photo is a joke now-days.

The birthday boy at his party. He was too cool for it all. ;)

Miss Quinn at 4 months! Except... she turned 5 months a few days ago!? Haha I'm just a tad behind!

She's getting SO big!

 And curious! (don't worry... this was totally supervised!)

 Curious as to why I don't have many photos of Blake....

 Any tips on taking pictures of 3 year olds!?

But every once in awhile.... I'll capture a moment like this... and it's all worth it!

It was Pioneer Day here in Utah! On the 24th to be exact! We ventured out to the park early that morning to watch the parade, where Elder Holland was the Grand Marshall! Pretty exciting, if I do say so myself!

Here's a few from an afternoon of swimming we had. Quinn was not thrilled about the heat, and only lasted a few minutes outside before I took her in for a nice cool nap. ;)

 And one of my handsome hubby with our babies.

 

Menu Monday and Foto Friday

Sorry I missed Foto Friday! We had a crazy week... my sweet Sister in Law passed away, and between spending time at the hospital, a wedding, and a family reunion... I barely had time to keep it all together! I did, however, have a lot of time to think. About choices we make, and how they affect others, positive or negative. It's amazing how a family can be brought together in times of joy, and in times of sorrow.

Monday: Cowboy Lasagna (rollover)

Tuesday: Spaghetti and Olive Garden Breadsticks

Wednesday: Chicken Parmesan

Thursday: Sloppy Joes

Friday: Date Night

Saturday: Breakfast for dinner :: Cinnamon Wheat Pancakes

Sunday: Garlic Lime Tilapia

 

Now for a few photos!

Okay okay... Now Mcdonalds makes me cringe just as much as the next mom, but to be fair it wasn't our choice. But I was over the moon when Blake tried a chicken nugget! He is beyond picky! So for him to try new foods is a big deal for us! Even if it is processed!

My sweet Polka Dot girl!

Hope you all had a wonderful and safe Fourth of July!

We sure as heck did! We started out the day with a trip to the park, and then out to lunch, and finally ending the day with a picnic and fireworks with the family!

I'm so grateful for this amazing country that we are blessed to live in, for all the freedoms we enjoy, and for those who are fighting, or have fought, to make it that way!

What about you all? What does your family do for the 4th? Anything fun or exciting? Do you have traditions, or does it change every year?? I LOVE hearing about other family traditions!
