My Birthday Girl ~ It's Great to be 8!

It feels like yesterday I was bringing home my sweet baby girl from the hospital. She was always so smiley earning her first nickname of "Smiley Kyly" She had a full head of long dark hair with blonde tips. The nurses loved to play with it. It was different every time they brought me to her. Still eight years later she is just as smiley and sweet. Kyly got to start her birthday fun a day early when her Aunt Chantelle came to stay and spoil her for her birthday. We had fun doing a puzzle, playing games, dining, and shopping which we love our new shoes! :) Then on the morning of the 18th Kyly chose to have waffles for breakfast. Our plans were slightly interrupted because the local pool started closing early so we couldn't go swimming (booo)! However we made do. She got to have a small birthday party with her friend Brooklyn and one later that night with the family and friends. 

Now that she is eight she gets to attends Achievement Days with the other 8-11 year old girls in our ward and was so excited she got to go to her first one on her BIRTHDAY!!! 

 Love our Shoes :))

 Nothing makes me happier than when past clients recommend me to their family and friends. For that reason I got to spend some time with this little cheerful lady for her #1 year old Milestone session!!! Yippy for new friends!! As you can tell she just loves the camera too! :D

"up, up, and away!"

Mr. Cooper justed turned the big #1! I was so privileged to capture all of his milestones during his first year of life.. He has been such a Joy to watch grow and see his personality shine through. Happy Birthday little man! He sure loves his momma too.  :) 

My Birthday Boy!! :) {Logan Utah, Family, Children, Wedding Photographer}

I can't believe my little boy is now 10 years old!! He is my little buddy, daddy's mini me, and his little sisters' best friend. Keplar amazes me for how caring he is, smart, hilariously funny, witty, kind, loving, athletic, cheerful, close to the spirit, loves animals and stuffed animals, and for being 10 he has the soul of a wise old man. Oh and he most definitely is into Star Wars right now! As you can see Luke and Darth Vader are about to commence in their epic battle. :) 

This is my Joy!! 

So unlike the "traditional" birthday cakes of putting the same amount of candles on for how old you are that year, I put on as many as I can! You only get one birthday a year so why not load it up with candles and blow them all out!! Right!!! So FUN! My kids look forward to it every year. I'm just happy I remembered to grab my camera and take some pics!
