Update

It's been a while since I have posted so here is an update

I was sick all week last week, and any time I could manage to pull my self out of bed I was working on editing pictures for this cute family.

I loved their outfits! They were just perfect! The boys were adorable with the cutest personalities! We had a lot of fun even though it was freezing outside! Luckily I brought some hot chocolate so we could warm up a tad :)

I finally finished their pictures earlier this week, and now have moved on to my many other projects in progress. I finally finished our Christmas cards and sent those off. Though I am so worried that I thought I sent some and actually didn't. My brain is just not working right lately!

We got our first Christmas tree this year! Since we are never home for Christmas, we have a hard time buying one to only have up for 2 weeks. But this year we got one FREE with all the lights and ornaments! Our Bishop cut a 13ft tree and the ward decorated it and gave it away at our ward Christmas party. We had to cut it in half to fit in our apartment, and it is pretty bare, and not the type you would find at a Christmas tree lot, but I'm just so happy to have a tree! And a real one that adds a fresh Christmas pine scent to our home!
I don't have any pictures of it, but here is a boring little video so you can see how funny our tree looks.


And here are some more videos of Calin.


Jordan thinks it's so fun to have him lift our scriptures.


And lately he's been saying "uhhh...." before replying to a question. It always makes us laugh because he says it so thoughtful, hahaha. He can say quite a few words, and we were trying to get him to say some in the video, but he never does it when we want him to :)

Some of his words are:
cheese, more, yes, lights, shoes, socks, blanket, ball, and a phrase "I did it!" On rare occasions you he says "please" "thank you" "night-night" "love you" and "kiss" But he only says those about twice a week.

He almost has all his teeth in (at least I think they get a break before 2nd molars start coming through). He has 8 on bottom, and 6 on top. He's just waiting for two more to break through. And those 2 are causing trouble! He's been drooling like crazy, and pretty whinny this week with a runny nose. Hopefully they break through soon!!

Well, I think that's all. We did go sledding last weekend, but forgot our camera. We took some videos with Jordan's phone, but I haven't uploaded them yet. Maybe another day :)

Kelly Spence said...

Yep I like the last one too. Uhhh. So funny. Those pictures look great. Who are they? I need some editing tips. Your editing is amazing, actually I am sure it starts with amazing photography. Snow can be tricky to shoot in. I am excited to get back and see you guys. What are you doing for New Years? Will you be back in town? Ok, I just need to email you. :)

Calin is so adorable. I love the Uhhh video :) Nice job on the family pictures. So creative! Our first Christmas tree looked a lot like yours. We bought a fake one last year and I missed the pine smell so our aunt bought us a pine smelling candle and I love it.

I hope you start feeling better!

Cute pics Michaela! Calin is way too cute for his own good!!!

Mickie and Matt said...

Yep those pictures are creative and amazing :) GLad I have such talented photographer SIL's that can take our pictures :) Haha

Calin is so funny.

He talks better than Ty does for sure. Matt was asking me why Ty doesn't enunciate better and I said he gets it from us, I feel like I enunciate well... then Matt said Ohh right well I mumble all the time. Well there you have it. Ty is going to be a MUMBLER because of him! Haha We'll see. ANYWAYS Those videos were great! Love the tree, everyone has to start out somewhere and lots of people like the sparse tree kind like that. I think it was decorated nicely :)

I love how calin loves to scoot next to dad. I'm glad you are getting all of these cute things on tape.
