Photo shoot fun!

I have to say...

I am

OBSESSED 

with taking pictures of my little lady.  

I think that editing photos can be so much fun. I love learning where my flaws are in taking the pictures.

Here are some cute photos I took of her today! I need to work on my lighting because her face is washed out in a few of the, but I HAD to share! 

Enjoy this face!

First, I wanted to show you some of the before and after photos.

Editing makes such a difference. I like to go for a more natural look in a lot of the photos.

I mostly just like to brighten them and fix the colors. 

 It's so easy to take cute photos. I saw a website online that helps. 

Backgrounds are very easy. I mostly use blankets, wrapping paper, or even colorful towels that I have. 

 Pretty in pink!

 More before and after photos

 Any tips are welcome! I love my little lady so much!

Just an update..or mostly just photos

I decided to update the blog, but to be honest I have no ideal what I am going to blog about! I am waiting for my photos to upload on the computer on my phone so I can see what has been going on. I can guarantee it is mostly pictures of Lexi.  I have 1,354 photos on my phone..but only uploaded up 200 (the most recent) I take way too many pictures!

My Uncle Donnie sent us two cute outfits. 

I love the UK one! Thank you so much! She will fit into it right around March Madness!

With Lexi, I started out breastfeeding but in the end it just wasn't working. We switched to formula a few days after we came home with her. We started off using Similac because that is what the hospital gave us and it worked really well for her. After a while we started to think, " man this is going to get expensive!" We decided to switch her Costco brand which is made my the same company. It was half the price and almost twice as much formula. It really upset her stomach. We were so excited because this is how much we were going to save in like a year! Crazy!...but now that we have to switch her back...we better start saving more money! I have started looking online for free samples and coupons so I am excited to see how much money we can save! Having a baby makes you broke!

Estimated cost of Similac a year

 Knocked out

 My dad was nice enough to hang up my clock that I made last year!

I love it!

 I love bath time with this little lady!

 I got Lexi some new bows. You should check out this website of a local lady in St George who makes them for way cheap!

 My parents were in town for a week and they were a ton of help! Thanks! My mom deep cleaned my house and that was wonderful! Moms always do things better! 

 Look at those eyes!

 On Friday morning Lexi was up way early! We decided to go out on a walk! It was a little cold that morning, but it way nice to get out and excerise! 

 We have had this little pup for a year...

 Sunday joke 

 And to end the post, here are some cute photos of Lex. 

Temple Walk

 My parents are town and leave on Thursday. Tonight after dinner we decided to take a walk around the Temple.  I wish I lived in walking distance of the temple and could do this every day. Although, I do only live about 7 miles...

Can't complain.

I love the St. George Temple. It is crazy to think that I was sealed to my best friend almost 2 1/2 years ago.

 Not sure what we are laughing at here

 Excuse the no make up face.

Some days its just not worth it! :)

 

Baby Blessing

On Sunday our little Lexi Mae was blessed.

Broc gave such a beautiful blessing and I am so grateful that he is a worthy priesthood holder. It means so much to me.  It was a special day and I am glad that my parents were able to be here for it. 

Here are some snap shots.

Proud Grandparents

The lighting kind of bleached Lexi out!

 Great Grandpa

 Our happy family!

 One proud dad!

I am so happy that Lexi is part of our family. I am eternally happy that she is sealed to us forever. Family really is the most important thing and I look forward to watching her grow every day!
